Problem publishing - jpeg pictures not converting to html

K

karen3b

Hi, DavidF -- or Don or Spike or....!

I decided to 'just get it up', and then fuss with the details later. So, of
course, I can't get it up. The first page is up. At splendidfaces.com .

Yes, I've ungrouped everything. And, thanks to Spike, it was not onerous.
ctrl a is wonderful!

I didn't mess with thumbnails or anything. I figure I can do that stuff
after it is up. If it will ever go up. Pub 2000 did not do this. It just
published the entire darn website.

So, this is where I am:

I am using Firezilla to upload my website as an ftp to the hosting site
(Dotster). The index file is in full html, including the pictures.
Therefore my home page comes up fine. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how
to get the remainder of the pages (26 more) in my website into html format,
ideally each page as an entirety(?) Publisher 2007 puts everything beyond my
home page into the index folder, and this is a mix of html (text stuff) and
gifs + jpegs (pictures). The hosting site will not accept gifs or jpegs.
What do I do?

[Yes, I did search previous threads. None of them seem to answer this
question. ]

Karen,

I'm a Publisher 2000 user.

'Not sure if you've created Publisher 2000 or an 07 site.

In 2000, after creating the Publisher file and then wanting the html files
while the Publisher file is created, the next step is

File
Save as a website.

The result will be an index.html, one or more page files, i.e., page2.html,
page3.html etc with several image files.

Next, ftp the website files, all of the html files and all of the image
files.
If you want just the home page, ftp only the index.html and the image files.

The .pub file need not be ftp to the server unless you wish a backup copy.

Note: I don't think you can use Publisher 07 and save the website as a 2000
site. I have no experience with Publisher beyond 2000.

You uploaded the index.htm file and did not upload the index_files folder.

When you are ready to produce your web files using Pub 2007, go to File >
Publish to the Web and direct the output to somewhere on your local computer
where you can easily find the files. Publisher will produce an 'index.htm'
file (your home page) and an 'index_files' folder that contains all your
supporting image and graphic files plus the other .htm files (the other
pages of your site).

Reference: Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx

Then use FileZilla to upload the index.htm file and the index_files folder
*intact* with all the files within it, to the root directory of your host.
The root directory being where you currently have the index.htm file...

---------------

A first impression...I would put the navbar on the left side of the page,
not the right. You are using a wide page and I had to scroll horizontally to
access the navbar. In real life, I would leave your site. Remember your
concern about putting the most important information 'above the fold'? Well
that also applies to putting the most important information to the
left...like your navigation system. Just my opinion...

1. Using Publisher 2007.
2. DavidF -- done all that.
3. Dotster 'sees' all gifs and jpegs;
says all gifs & jpegs have to be converted to htm files;
4. Don't know how to convert the pages intact to htm, since what I've done
(which is what you said to do) hasn't worked for 6 times now.
5. Any other ideas?
6. BTW -- have talked to Dotster 5 times now. And still not up. obviously!

Will change navbar location to left. But later. First want it UP. Thanks
for the concise feedback. Any other feedback?

Sorry -- didn't tell you that I don't want/need to save the website as a Pub
2000. When I upgraded to Pub 2007, I removed Pub 2000 from my computer.
Still have a website up based on Pub 2000. Had thought I would update it
after I get the Splendid Faces website up. Now I'm not so sure. Splendid
Faces website is currently 27 pages long & needs reasonably high-resolution
pics. The older website for my other profession is less than 10 pages, so it
can stay in Pub 2000. But I didn't know some of the rules to maximize
webcrawler access back then & I had wanted to structurally improve it -- and
maybe add some of the still-missing pages. If it helps, you can look at it
at counselingservicesinc.com .

Upload *ONLY* the 'index.htm' file and *ONLY* the 'index_files' folder to
the root directory of your site. You do *NOT* upload the folder
'splendidfaces.com' with the pub web files inside, which is sitting on your
desktop. You apparently created that folder to collect your html files...but
you do not upload it with the web files within it.

From reading the support pages on Dotster if you are using a Linux hosting
package, you apparently have a 'httpdocs' folder and that is where the
index.htm file and the index_files folder is supposed to be. So log on to
your host, find the root folder and copy and paste, or drag and drop the
index.htm file and the index_files folder into that folder. If you spot an
old copy of your index.htm file on the host, delete it before you upload the
new one.

If this doesn't work, please go back and read the instructions again. Pay
particular attention to the part where it tells you how to publish the web
pages to your local computer. You are missing a step somewhere along the
line. Read the support pages in Dotster again about how and where to upload.

If this doesn't work then please write each and every specific step you are
taking from the time you go to File > Publish to the Web to when you upload
the files. Do not give any password information.

More thoughts...or questions. How are you writing the links to the other
pages in your site? Click on the navbar > Format > Navigation bar
properties. choose your second page link > modify link. Are you linked to a
'place in this document' and specifically page 2?

Your links on the page that you have loaded at http://splendidfaces.com/ are
all pointing to your C drive and the path includes splendidfaces.com folder.
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Karen%20Ken%20&%20Kelly/Desktop/SPLENDIDFACES.COM/index_files/aboutus.htm

Even the source code is looking to your C. drive for the images instead of
the index_files folder on your host drive.

You aren't using a Master Page are you? View > Master Page.

The issue is centered on why your links are written to your local C drive.
It may be because you are uploading the wrong folders. It may be that you
are writing the links incorrectly. It may be that when you Publish to the
web you are doing something wrong from that point. We can't look over your
shoulder, so you will have to troubleshoot it.

And one more thing.

You do indeed have an index_files folder on your host. Here is one of your

But your navbar links are pointing to the C drive. Find out why and you

I've been trying to figure out how you knew that the navbar points to C
drive. To my knowledge, I've done nothing to change where the NavBar points.
Nor have I been able to find a way to change where it points.

I probably don't have the correct terms when I'm searching the online 'help'
function for Pub 2007.

Do you have a resource that I can read so I can figure this out?

[My lack of knowledge really, really shows here. Thank you for your
patience!]

I'm using the 'Insert' function to add/modify a link. Haven't done any html
code.

The links go to the beginning of the page. I don't know how to link to a
specific place in the document. (which is why I have so many pages!)

Not using a Master Page.

Been trying to troubleshoot, without success. Have pulled in husband --
he's had no success. It's the almost-blind leading the blind here!

You aren't answering my questions or following directions. I didn't ask
about inserting a hyperlink. I asked about the navbar links.

So once again, and even more specifically, open your publication to the
first page, click on the navbar > Format > Navigation bar properties. Under
Links: choose your second page link > modify link. That will open a 'Modify
link - main navigation bar' dialog. On the left side under 'Link to:' have
you selected 'place in this document' and then in the right side
specifically page 2?

Or directly from HELP:

Change a link on a navigation bar:

You can change the destination of a link. You can also change the text that
displays on the navigation bar.

1.. Select the navigation bar that you want to change.
2.. On the Format menu, click Navigation Bar Properties, and then click
the General tab.
3.. Under Links, click the link that you want to change, and then click
Modify Link.
4.. In the Modify Link dialog box, do one of the following:
Change destination of a link to another page

1.. Under Link to, click Place in this document.
2.. Under Select a place in this document, click the page that you want
to link to the navigation bar.
3.. In the Text to display box, type the text that you want to display
on the navigation bar button, and then click OK.
4.. In the Navigation Bar Properties dialog box, click OK.
-----------------

This is the proper procedure for writing the links in the navbar. Check each
link in your navbar and confirm that you are writing them correctly. If they
are written correctly you should be able to hover your mouse over the navbar
links and the tool tip should indicate 'hyperlink to page X'.

Similarly if you are inserting a link from some text or image in the body of
one page to another page in your publication:

Create a hyperlink to another place in your document

1.. Select either text or a picture.
2.. Click Insert Hyperlink .
3.. Under Link to, click Place in This Document.
4.. Select the page you want.

--------
And finally if you want to link to an external web page, once again select
either text or picture > insert hyperlink and on the left side under 'Link
to' choose 'Existing file or Web page' instead of 'Place in this document'.
Then in the right column under 'Look in:' you can choose 'browsed pages' or
to the right click on the 'browse the web' icon to select the web address
that way. Or you can simply type in or copy and paste the external address
directly into 'Address;". And this would be in the format of
'http://www.google.com/'. You DO NOT link to files or folders on your C
drive!

Check the links of your navbar and the links in the body of your pages and
make sure they are written correctly and not pointing toward your C drive.

I'm using the 'Insert' function to add/modify a link. Haven't done any
html
code.

The links go to the beginning of the page. I don't know how to link to a
specific place in the document. (which is why I have so many pages!)

Not using a Master Page.

Been trying to troubleshoot, without success. Have pulled in husband --
he's had no success. It's the almost-blind leading the blind here!

DavidF said:
More thoughts...or questions. How are you writing the links to the other
pages in your site? Click on the navbar > Format > Navigation bar
properties. choose your second page link > modify link. Are you linked to
a
'place in this document' and specifically page 2?

Your links on the page that you have loaded at http://splendidfaces.com/
are
all pointing to your C drive and the path includes splendidfaces.com
folder.
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Karen%20Ken%20&%20Kelly/Desktop/SPLENDIDFACES.COM/index_files/aboutus.htm

Even the source code is looking to your C. drive for the images instead
of
the index_files folder on your host drive.

You aren't using a Master Page are you? View > Master Page.

The issue is centered on why your links are written to your local C
drive.
It may be because you are uploading the wrong folders. It may be that you
are writing the links incorrectly. It may be that when you Publish to the
web you are doing something wrong from that point. We can't look over
your
shoulder, so you will have to troubleshoot it.

Hi, DavidF -- or Don or Spike or....!

I decided to 'just get it up', and then fuss with the details

So,
of
course, I can't get it up. The first page is up. At
splendidfaces.com .

Yes, I've ungrouped everything. And, thanks to Spike, it was not

I didn't mess with thumbnails or anything. I figure I can do that
stuff
after it is up. If it will ever go up. Pub 2000 did not do this.
It
just
published the entire darn website.

So, this is where I am:

I am using Firezilla to upload my website as an ftp to the hosting
site
(Dotster). The index file is in full html, including the pictures.
Therefore my home page comes up fine. Unfortunately I cannot
figure
out
how
to get the remainder of the pages (26 more) in my website into html
format,
ideally each page as an entirety(?) Publisher 2007 puts everything

You ignored the most important questions I asked in this group of postings
about how you are publishing your web files and how you are writing the

pointing, open http://splendidfaces.com/ in Internet Explorer. Go to View >

of the browser window at the status bar and it will tell you where the link
is pointing. This is where you can see that the links are pointing to your

Karen,

You totally ignored this, the most important post of the group of three. You
need to follow instructions and answer my questions if you want me to invest
any more of my time in trying to help you.

Since you ignored my questions and request to write down each specific step,
let's try it this way. Read what I wrote last time in this post. Then read
my most recent post about writing the hyperlinks correctly. Then:

1. Go to your desktop and right click it > New > Folder and create a folder
called 'MyWebFiles'.
2. Open your Publisher file.
3. Go to File > Publish to the Web.
4. In the dialog that comes up in the 'Save In' list browse to your desktop
and the 'MyWebFiles' folder you created in step 1.
5. In the 'File name:' box type in 'index.htm'.
6. Save.

Now if you look in the 'MyWebFiles' folder on your desktop you should have
an 'index.htm' file and an 'index_files' folder.

Now log on to your web host and delete any old 'index.htm' file and/or
'index_files' folder.

Upload the new index.htm file and the index_files folder that are in the
'MyWebFiles' on your desktop to the root directory on your web server. Do
NOT upload the 'MyWebFiles' folder. Do load the 'index_files' folder INTACT
with all the files within it.

If you have written your links correctly, and produce your web files
correctly, and uploaded the correct files and folders to your root
directory, you should be good to go.

Good luck.

DavidF



DavidF said:
Upload *ONLY* the 'index.htm' file and *ONLY* the 'index_files' folder to
the root directory of your site. You do *NOT* upload the folder
'splendidfaces.com' with the pub web files inside, which is sitting on
your desktop. You apparently created that folder to collect your html
files...but you do not upload it with the web files within it.

From reading the support pages on Dotster if you are using a Linux hosting
package, you apparently have a 'httpdocs' folder and that is where the
index.htm file and the index_files folder is supposed to be. So log on to
your host, find the root folder and copy and paste, or drag and drop the
index.htm file and the index_files folder into that folder. If you spot an
old copy of your index.htm file on the host, delete it before you upload
the new one.

If this doesn't work, please go back and read the instructions again. Pay
particular attention to the part where it tells you how to publish the web
pages to your local computer. You are missing a step somewhere along the
line. Read the support pages in Dotster again about how and where to
upload.

If this doesn't work then please write each and every specific step you
are taking from the time you go to File > Publish to the Web to when you
upload the files. Do not give any password information.

Following your instructions allows me to see the path for the links within
the text -- but not view the NavBar paths.

Dotster says that the steps I am following are correct, which is how Home
was published. [And which is why I didn't send you a step-by-step
description of the process. One of the most important questions you asked.]

About writing the links: I am using Pub 2007 --
1. Edit
2. Existing NavBar
3. Add/modify
4. 'OK' when done.
Should be even Karen-proof. I hope!


Now, after talking to Dotster, I think the right question is:
How does one view AND change paths in Publisher 2007?
Which then answers the question:
How does one change from absolute paths to relative paths?

Will that help me solve the problem of C drive?

Hi Karen,

Sorry, but I am stumped on how to help you. I think your problems are
associated with how you are producing your web files and/or how you are
writing your links. However, you obviously are not going to answer my
questions or follow my suggestions on how to fix your site, so at this point
all I can suggest is that you go back over the words I have written in all
these posts and read them again. You might also read through the relevant
material articles posted by MSFT, and see if those words make sense to you.

Create a hyperlink:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HP102034901033.aspx

Change and fix hyperlinks:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HP102473031033.aspx

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:

Sorry that I don't have anything more to offer you. Good luck.

Hi, DavidF ~

I am writing the links in the legal manner, as well as doing all the correct
steps for publishing the web files. I report this with confidence after
having re-written all the links, and done all manner of trouble-shooting and
double-triple-quadruple checking.

After having exhausted everything I could do, I went to Microsoft Office
Tech support for Publisher 2007. The problem went up the ladder, with the
final proclamation that there is nothing wrong with how the web files are
written -- and that Dotster should be able to publish them.

The problem then went up the ladder @ Dotster. The web pages are currently
in Russia, where their hosting program was developed. So the folks that
first developed the hosting program have been working on what the problem is
for the past 12 hours.

I will let you know what the verdict is when I know. I hunch that there is
a problem in the interface between host & Pub 2007. Naturally, Dotster wants
to be able to host web sites written in Pub 2007. They are doing everything
they can to fix the problem for the future as well as for my files.

Thank you so very, very much for your help. Once at the publish step, this
became even more frustrating -- and I'm sorry for that.

I groan when I think that I still have to refine the darn site. <groan &
moan>

2. SPLENDIDFACES.COM\index.

apparently doesn't. Or Dotster has changed from 'long ago'.

Karen,

What are the actual names of the files and folders you are uploading
to
the
ISP server?

1. Using Publisher 2007.
2. DavidF -- done all that.
3. Dotster 'sees' all gifs and jpegs;
says all gifs & jpegs have to be converted to htm
files;
4. Don't know how to convert the pages intact to htm, since what
I've
done
(which is what you said to do) hasn't worked for 6 times now.
5. Any other ideas?
6. BTW -- have talked to Dotster 5 times now. And still not up.
obviously!

Will change navbar location to left. But later. First want it UP.
Thanks
for the concise feedback. Any other feedback?

Hi, DavidF -- or Don or Spike or....!

I decided to 'just get it up', and then fuss with the details
later.
So,
of
course, I can't get it up. The first page is up. At
splendidfaces.com .

Yes, I've ungrouped everything. And, thanks to Spike, it was not
onerous.
ctrl a is wonderful!

I didn't mess with thumbnails or anything. I figure I can do that
stuff
after it is up. If it will ever go up. Pub 2000 did not do this.
It
just
published the entire darn website.

So, this is where I am:

I am using Firezilla to upload my website as an ftp to the hosting
site
(Dotster). The index file is in full html, including the pictures.
Therefore my home page comes up fine. Unfortunately I cannot
figure
out
how
to get the remainder of the pages (26 more) in my website into html
format,
ideally each page as an entirety(?) Publisher 2007 puts everything
beyond my
home page into the index folder, and this is a mix of html (text
stuff)
and
gifs + jpegs (pictures). The hosting site will not accept gifs or
jpegs.
What do I do?

[Yes, I did search previous threads. None of them seem to answer
this
question. ]

Another update, since the webpage is still not publish-able.
1. Dotster could not publish the webpage. No one could figure out exactly
why, although they looked @ the code. Said that they've had problems with
Pub 2007 before.
2. Went back to Publisher 2007 support: First-Line Techs couldn't solve
the problem; Second-Line Techs couldn't solve the problem (the last one had
it sent to his home computer so he could look @ the code). It has now been
sent up to the Senior Technicians. They have now had it for a couple of days
now, with no results yet.

To be continued....

Hi, DavidF ~

I am writing the links in the legal manner, as well as doing all the correct
steps for publishing the web files. I report this with confidence after
having re-written all the links, and done all manner of trouble-shooting and
double-triple-quadruple checking.

After having exhausted everything I could do, I went to Microsoft Office
Tech support for Publisher 2007. The problem went up the ladder, with the
final proclamation that there is nothing wrong with how the web files are
written -- and that Dotster should be able to publish them.

The problem then went up the ladder @ Dotster. The web pages are currently
in Russia, where their hosting program was developed. So the folks that
first developed the hosting program have been working on what the problem is
for the past 12 hours.

I will let you know what the verdict is when I know. I hunch that there is
a problem in the interface between host & Pub 2007. Naturally, Dotster wants
to be able to host web sites written in Pub 2007. They are doing everything
they can to fix the problem for the future as well as for my files.

Thank you so very, very much for your help. Once at the publish step, this
became even more frustrating -- and I'm sorry for that.

I groan when I think that I still have to refine the darn site. <groan &
moan>

You ignored the most important questions I asked in this group of postings
about how you are publishing your web files and how you are writing the
links. But to answer your question as to knowing how to know where a link is
pointing, open http://splendidfaces.com/ in Internet Explorer. Go to View >
check Status Bar. Now when you point at any of your links look at the bottom
of the browser window at the status bar and it will tell you where the link
is pointing. This is where you can see that the links are pointing to your
hard drive.

I've been trying to figure out how you knew that the navbar points to C
drive. To my knowledge, I've done nothing to change where the NavBar
points.
Nor have I been able to find a way to change where it points.

I probably don't have the correct terms when I'm searching the online
'help'
function for Pub 2007.

Do you have a resource that I can read so I can figure this out?

[My lack of knowledge really, really shows here. Thank you for your
patience!]


:

And one more thing.

You do indeed have an index_files folder on your host. Here is one of
your
pages:

http://splendidfaces.com/index_files/aboutus.htm

But your navbar links are pointing to the C drive. Find out why and you
should have your answer.

Karen,

I'm a Publisher 2000 user.

'Not sure if you've created Publisher 2000 or an 07 site.

In 2000, after creating the Publisher file and then wanting the html files
while the Publisher file is created, the next step is

File
Save as a website.

The result will be an index.html, one or more page files, i.e., page2.html,
page3.html etc with several image files.

Next, ftp the website files, all of the html files and all of the image
files.
If you want just the home page, ftp only the index.html and the image files.

The .pub file need not be ftp to the server unless you wish a backup copy.

Note: I don't think you can use Publisher 07 and save the website as a 2000
site. I have no experience with Publisher beyond 2000.
