fp linkbar does not work with .aspx pages

[mikegellis]

I am developing a .net website and want to use frontpage for the graphics and navigation - however it seems that frontpage navigation does not work on .aspx pages. In frontpage design mode that linkbar looks right but when I run the website it does not show. When I try the same thing with asp pages it does work. Is this a known issue? Are there any patches?

you also can't use a FrontPage "include page" in an aspx page.
from what I understand you're supposed to make your own nav and use it as a
"user control".

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here...

Windows SharePoint Services is all ASPX pages and used Navbars and Custom
Link bars, and I just created a corporate presence web site against the .NET
framework using ASPX pages, and the navigation bars work (I aslo created my
own link bar and that worked as well).

The INCLUDE page problem is a different issue, and should have nothing to do
with the Link Bar issue, which I'd love to hear more about (repro steps,
etc).

perhaps mine failed due to other reasons ranging from my test server being
messed up to user error.
I didn't spend much time trying to figure it out since I assumed it was a
hand-in hand problem with the include page and assumed the rest of the fp
bots wouldn't work either.

I guess it's true what they say about ASSUME . ;-)

Well, it makes an ass of someone, that's for sure - not me though

So, nav failed for you too, though, huh? I'm curious about this now. Maybe
I'm just missing something simple to make this repro.

 

[chris leeds]

well, hopefully mikegellis paid closer attention to what he did and maybe
can post a link to the offending page, or paste the code.

 

[mikegellis]

The repro is very simple. Create a .net aspx project. Open the directory with fp2003, add the pages to the navigation view, add a link bar to the pages. I found that in the fp environment the navigation appears. But when I run it from a browser the navigation does not appear. I tried the same thing with asp pages and it worked fine. So it seems to be that fp does not work with aspx pages. I saw someone on this thread said that webot stuff does not work with aspx pages...

I think that means you are authoring against the 2000 Server Extensions
instead of the 2002 server extensions.

Browse to the following page:

http://<<yourServer>>/_vti_inf.html

Then View > Source

About half-way down, it will say the server extensions version. Your needs
to be 5.x.x.x.. If it says 4.x.x.x. you need to upgrade.

I upgraded from 4.x to 5.0.2.2623 and unfortunately I have the same behavior.

Even when you create a completely new project? That I haven't seen before.
