Dual Authoring to Website

S

Steve Klenner

I've been authoring a club website for several years...I'd now would like to
have a second person help in updating site.
Is there some way (or work around) to allow 2 people to author to same site
using FP?
I'm currently using FP2003.

Thanks
Steve

Either you both should edit the site online (not recommended)
Or you both need to Open your local site in FP and from the Remote Web Site tab sync the sites before & after making any changes to
your local site

Another solution would be to create a sub-web on the existing site, copy
the existing site to the sub-web, and do your editing in the sub-web.
You would need to enable "Document check-in and check-out" for the
sub-web. You would then edit (and test) in the sub-web and later
Publish Web to the root web directory.

The check-out feature is necessary to keep your other web maintainer
from editing a file you are currently working on. Checking out a
document will lock it so only the person who has checked it out can edit
it. This way there are no conflicting edits. Once you're done editing
the file, save it and check it back in so that the other maintainer can
edit it if necessary.
