MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / September 2006url addresses
I posted my index file and index.htm to a ftp site. included in the index file were video clips and publisher files that I wanted to put hyperlinks towards after they were uploaded. So I open the web site on my computer and try to create a hyperlink by browsing to ftp site --> httpdocs---> then I fall out of the publisher insert hyperlink windows. So I need to make my hyperlinks absolute and i wanted to write in the url but i do not know how, would the hyperlink look like www.lamardms/indexfiles/mediaclip1 or would it be more like ftp/lamardms/httpdocs/indexfiles/mediaclip1 ? any help would be appreciated. As per you first question, just type in the URL link. After you select the text in Publisher, right click, hyperlink, and choose Existing File or Web page, and type in the address. As to how to write the link correctly, I think this reference will explain it well: "Including external files in a Publisher web": http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80561.aspx DavidF >I posted my index file and index.htm to a ftp site. included in the index > file were video clips and publisher files that I wanted to put hyperlinks [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > ? > any help would be appreciated.

I followed the link and absorbed the material, that article helped a ton. I also found alot of stuff on unix being case sensitive and I did away with all the spaces and caps in my file names but the links are dead even thought the url displayed when I hover at lamardms.com looks correct. > Thank you, it appears to be exactly the info I needed.

I am guessing that you did not upload the files that you are trying to link to...or you uploaded them somewhere else on your site...or you still haven't matched up the spelling between link and file. From your home page, and under price lists, you have a link from WebServices: http://lamardms.com/downloadform/webservicesform.zip which does not work. You said in your original post that you uploaded the external files to your index_files folder, but http://lamardms.com/index_files/downloadform/webservicesform.zip does not work either. Nor does http://lamardms.com/index_files/webservicesform.zip or http://lamardms.com/webservicesform.zip The zillion dollar question is what did you really call your zip file, did you actually upload it, and where? After changing all your links to lower case, no spaces etc, did you also change the names of the zip file? Did you change the name of the subfolder "downloadform"? And by the way, I think the way you are trying to structure your site makes sense. Creating subfolders such as "downloadform", "samplevideo" etc, beside and at the same level as, rather than within your "index_files" folder makes good sense. Then you upload the your external files to that subfolder and write the link as you did, and when you update your main site, all your have to change is the index.htm file and the index_files folder, and not have to take the time to upload the external files again.

Here is a sample of where I put the files: from my network places the path to the files are, ftp://lamardms.com/httpdocs/downloadform/auctionform.zip and the corresponding url looks like, http://lamardms.com/downloadform/auctionform.zip Originaly I uploaded my .zips and .wmv into the index_files support file but I have since deleted those files and uploaded new htm to the ftp site, I have gone through the publisher dialouge boxes to save it and I have also gone drag and dropped files to my ftp site. Nothing works, even though I tour my ftp site and see the files there as I cited in the first address line. If you have any ideas that would be great, I am going to keep messing with it, I am probally doing something stupid. > I am guessing that you did not upload the files that you are trying to link > to...or you uploaded them somewhere else on your site...or you still haven't [quoted text clipped - 69 lines] > >> > > ? > >> > > any help would be appreciated.

Sorry...I saw your other post, but I still think that it is probably something as simple as a spelling mistake, or most likely that you have not uploaded the zip file to where you think you did, because the way you are writing the links seems fine. Let me ask you this. Do you have a folder called "downloadform" on the same level as your index.htm file and index_files folder? Or in other words, when you log onto your host, and when you find your index_files folder and index.htm file, do you also see the "downloadform" folder at the same time? And when you look into the "downloadform" folder is there a file that is called "auctionform.zip"? One of your answers to these questions has to be no, otherwise the link http://lamardms.com/downloadform/auctionform.zip would work. Perhaps log into your site from your control panel on your site, and study your file structure that way to discover the error.

The only thing I can think about is the fact that I named the url before the files were there. Looking at it from plesk is probally a good idea and I'll double check the spelling by redoing the links and uploads. I 'll keep you posted. > Sorry...I saw your other post, but I still think that it is probably > something as simple as a spelling mistake, or most likely that you have not [quoted text clipped - 134 lines] > >> > >> > > ? > >> > >> > > any help would be appreciated.
