Directory structure  en

Auteur : andrew swinfield

On version 12 when exporting the project it would put all the HTML files on the root directory rather than in the directories you would make. I was informed that to make this happen I would have to make projects for each directory and link them together.

Can you tell me does 13 does the same as 12 or have you made improvements to the directory structure. If you have not I know there is a section where I can recommend improvements but I might aswell recommend it here if that is ok

This is important to me, when exporting I want the files to remain in the directory structure and it the one thing that puts me off this progam.

Thank you for your time.

Hello Andrew,

Version 13 places the files in the root directory in the same way that version 12 did.

Kind regards,

Paul

Andrew, surely this is the correct proceedure, all html files in root with source files stored in various folders?  That's the way I have always managed my websites.  The only time I have html files in a subfolder is when I nest websites underneath the main site.

Hi thank you for your answer paul, that's a shame do you think you could put it up for fixing for people who require it.

Hi Eshac.. it seems to me you wish to know why i think it's important that the html files should go into their own directory. Please note I am not a web expert I just make simple observations. In my industry which is photography we may be advertising on our website a wedding service and a photography course service and a workshop, even with good sco on th relevent pages, so lets say we have a webpage called wedding.html and we have one called courses.html and one called workshop.html now in this situation they would be stored on the route and they would be looked at by Google, however I have found with practice and from watching others that if I make a directory called weddings and put the weddings.html file in that directory and and directory called photography courses and put the course.html file in that directory Google list these pages much more efficiently and rank them higher on Google search engines. I don't know why but it does, thats why it is important to me, my site is laid out like that and I rank on first page on Google for all my catagories, and yet when they are not in a sub-directory they do not. So I hope that you can make it easier to use your programs and achive what I want. All the best Andrew

Andrew, that sounds very much like what I refer to as nesting.

I have about 20 websites on my hosting services all in there own directories inside public_html, each a standalone website (and each created as a standalone project). Each has their own domain name so seo works really well, but a number of those sites actually appear to be part of my main site as far as the user is concerned by simply linking through the menu.

It appears to me you would like Incomedia to enable WX5 to manage multiple projects inside a single umbrella project.

Feel free to open an 'Idea' post to that effect on the forum.  In this way the developers will be able to keep track of your suggestion.

Best wishes...

hi Esahc..  No this is not nesting, I also do the same and have several sites with their own www. to seperate directories

ie. one web space

route of web space

dir (andy) www.andy.com

dir (paul) www.paul.com

Within their directories it would be classed as their route directory with their index.html and any other html file and a bunch of directories ie image directory, csl directories ect.

x5 is easy to set up to do this, build a website for andy's upload it to andys directory and it works.

Ok here's what I do, build a website for andys, but now I want a directory in andys called wedding, and I want the associated files for my weddings html file to be in that directory. So within that directory there would be a directory called image directory ect. Now I want a webpage called courses, I wan to put it in a directory called courses.html and all the associated files to go into their own directories images ect.

This I have already achived by using this program, and once set up is not to hard. However another program that I have used before is wusiwug program, and that built it correctly and put in all the corresponding html files and their images files ect. into their own directory that I built.

I am going to move this to the suggestion section as it does put me off the program.

All the best Andy
