Breaking up a massive site, using master pages

Thread rating:  |
Publisher_rookie - 26 Apr 2007 18:16 GMT I am going to create individual files with master page duplicates and back them all up twice for security. However, was wondering if there is an easy way to take what I have created, background color and all, to a new publisher file without having to search through the colors and reblend those all again. Thanks, John

Cheat! Open the file, Save As a different name, then delete what you don't want or need.

Having mad issues with backgrounds. Going to have to have someone design the 12 missing states. Not pleased lol.

The master page feature in Publisher should not be used with web documents...it creates unpredictable results.

I have pictures inserted over a background color blend, and don't want to sit and enter all the numerical data to achieve the same results. I will make masters for each state, and agency, with all attributes, but first have to get images and additional data installed. The masters will be stored as a backup, as will an extra copy of the files I am using.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the path names that I need to use to get the links to work. My primary site has its own domain name, but when I FTP the rest of the sites, the links don't work. HELP.........!!!!?!?!?!?!

Tell use where you are uploading the other webpages, and give us an example of how you are writing your links. Help us to help you.
In the future, start a new thread instead of adding to a closed thread. Thanks.

I am trying to "resolve" the URL "http://www.salonsuitesofsycamorellc.com and I want to add hairimpressions.index.htm as well as hairwegoagain.index.htm and nicoleshairdesigns.htm. When these are saved they save in "(whatever)_files.htm
I have them "registered" as sub-domains in salonsuitesofsycamorellc.com, but I cannot get the links to work. I would so appreciate any help. godaddy is my hosting service. I have two domains on the same hosting account. The primary one is websitedesignbyrenee.com.

You seem to have nicoleshairdesigns set up correctly, except for the link from your home page. Try this link: http://www.salonsuitesofsycamorellc.com/nicoleshairdesigns.htm instead of http://www.salonsuitesofsycamorellc.com/nicoleshairdesigns_files/Page385.htm
Use the same approach with the other links, both in how you write them and where you upload those Pub files. Do not use spaces or apostrophes in a file name as you have in "lily's.html". Also don't mix your extensions. Publisher 2003 defaults to .htm, so I would stay with that one.
I don't know that you need to use subdomains if you follow the above approach. However, if you want to use subdomains, then reference the instructions on GoDaddy. The links would be entirely different, perhaps written http://www.nicoleshairdesigns.salonsuitesofsycamorellc.com
Good luck.

As an example I would create subfolders on your site, right along and at the same level as your index_files folder. I would create a subfolder called "nicolehairdesigns", and then when you Publish to the Web from the nicole Pub file, I would just let Publisher use the default name of index.htm and thus thereby another index_files folder containing the other pages and supporting graphics for nicole. Then you would upload both that index.htm file and the index_files folder to the subfolder "nicolehairdesigns". Then your link to the home page for nicolehairdesigns would be: http://www.salonsuitesofsycamorellc.com/nicoleshairdesigns/index.htm
Personally I find that changing the index.htm file to a more personalized file such as "nicoleshairdesigns.htm" more difficult to remember than index.htm. But that is not to say that others would not prefer the way David Bartosik suggests, and the way you are approaching this.

The Add-on domains, bluestarsalute.com and stjamesotv.com have their own folder (bluestar and stjames, respectively). To upload pages, I select the path to the folder, ftp:mydomainname.com/public_html/bluestar/ and that's where the files go. I have probably 10 index.html files total, but all are in different folders. Also, each site has its own file. If I need to cross link between sites, I use an absolute link: http://www.bluestarsalute.com/index.html If it is the same site but a different page, the link gets written as 'index.html. Of course, each folder can have a sub-folder, so for a forum on BlueStar the link would be '/forum/index.php
Your server may be different.
