Thumbnail not accessing full sized image

bruschifan1 · Sep 4, 2005

Can someone please explain how some of the thumbnailed images on a page open
fine and others don't? I did exactly the same thing to post them on the
page? (import images to the web, insert image on the page, auto thumbnail)
The more I use Frontpage the more aggravated I get...there is absolutely no
reason that I can see why the file path stays C:/ documents and settings...
etc on some but works properly on others. This happens to me ALL the time
when I add images to a page.

Is there a patch for this glitch or at least a way to manually create
thumbnails and hyperlink to the full sized image myself to avoid wasting
hours trying to get the software to work properly?!

Here's a link to the page...note that two of the images open and the rest
don't. (Incidentally, the same thing happened with all of the images for the
Saints game at the top of the page but deleting them from the page and
reposting them and rethumbnailing worked for them. These however won't "fix
themselves" and I've already wasted about 2 hours today trying to get it to
work right.)

Thanks... (sorry for the attitude but I'm quite aggravated right now as I
don't have time to constantly redo the same pages over and over again.)

The trick with FP, you must be aware "how" you are editing the "page"
when you use FP's tricks. Did you open the page as a part of a web or
outside a web? I suspect you did the latter for the broken links.

Next time make sure you open the page within the web, then import the
pages to the web before using then, then create the autothumbails, then
save at your local web. Then puplish to the site.

Now, for the page with the broken links, you don't have to start form
scratch.

Maku sure the regular pics are imported in the web. Then for each
thumbnail with a broken link, change the hyperlink to the correct
address (within the web).

It's not a glitch.

If you wind up with a path that starts with C:/documents, it's "almost
always" a sure sign you were editing the page without opening your web
and then opening the page and then making changes.

almost always = 99.99% sure

I never even realized that I could "open a page without opening the web"
(when I open the software it automatically goes to C:\Docuements and
Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Webs\patriotworld and then I open the pages
that I want to edit from there. That's what I always do... and what I did
today as well. But since reading your response, just for the heck of it
instead of opening the page I wanted, I first clicked "open Web" and clicked
the one that was already open. Now it's working... I have no clue what
changed and what happened but now it's working. So... thanks for your
suggestion but I'm still confused as to how I can possibly access the page
"outside" of the web?

It can happen if you've browsed to a folder using windows explorer
instead of FrontPage and double click a file.
Or if you click a link in Recent Documents.

You don't ever really want to open a page without first opening the web.

I have exactly this problem but still can't understand what I am doing wrong.
Trying to create a photo gallery. Have followed the instructions in manual
but still it won't work. The thumbnails appear OK but when clicked on in the
site - nothing. I have read the previous posts here and can't find any
option called "open web". Have tried open site but no joy. I don't know
what editing a page without opening your web means. Can someone explain
please - as you will gather I am just starting out on this learning curve so
please keep it simple.

Thanks, JBS

1. File Menu | Open Web / Site
2. Import all images to be used via File Menu | Import to a folder within your open web / site
3. Create a new page or open an existing page
4. Insert the Photo Gallery
5. Add images via the dialog

Post a link to the site...that would help us to troubleshoot it.

FP web pages need to exist within a web / site, within that there are files
that are related that make things work. When you started your web did you
File | New Web or File | New Page...if the later you just have a "loose"
page.
