Address

[Gypsy_wanderer]

Hi,

I am just starting to use contribute over an already designed webpage. I seem
to have most of it worked out the only thing is how to change the web
address.... I am a travel agent, so I am adding more tours to my website, I am
doing this by making editing over and old page and changing the wording and
pictures to keep the layout the same, but I am not sure how to change the name
for the address bar when someone types the address in so for example.

[url]http://www.gowalkabouttravel.com/china-yangtze-cruise/index.html[/url]

I want to change this after the [url]www.gowalkabouttravel.com/[/url] to the name of the
new tour .... can someone tell me how I can rename the new tour page, and still
keep the original tour and its address on my site.

Thanks

The part of the url that you refer to is the name of a folder on your webserver.

To create a new folder:
1. open contribute
2. next to the addressbar click the Choose-button
3. create a new folder by clicking the button on top of the now open screen
4. name the folder as you like

To create pages in that new folder:
1. create a new page as you used to do
2. save this in your new folder

If you want users to be able to browse to
[url]http://www.gowalkabouttravel.com/new_folder[/url], without entering a specific
filename, you have to put an index.html (or .htm or.php, whatever) in the
folder.

Thanks for the info, could the address be
[url]www.gowalkabouttravel.com/beijing-kunming-china-tour/index.html[/url] ?
Also do I always do this part at the beginning before I start designing the
page?

Thanks..

P.S I am having a tough time saving the new page to the new folder... it keeps
trying to save to the folder of the page that I have used to design the new
tour over, and I do not want to overwrite the older tour just use the layout of
the tour page... when I try and do a save as it will not allow me, I only see
save and save for later in the list, so I am not sure how to save this work
into the actual new folder itself.

Thanks...

You always create the folder first, because you can't Publish a page to a folder that doesn't exist.

Yes but at what time does it ask me what folder I wish to publish the page too?
that is the part I am confused with... I now know how to create a new folder,
but I am not seeing in my list of saving something a save as to change the
folder name so I can save the new tour page into the new name.

1. in the menu, click File, New...
2. give the page a title name and click OK
3. you now see the page in Contribute and you edit and click Publish
4. you get a warning that visitors cannot yet find your page, which you fix
later by linking to the new page
5. you get to choose a filename and at the right of the field you can click
the Choose button to choose the folder you want to save the page in.
