Question: can I manually delete these pictures to gain space? I only have 20 Mb on my contract, though I still having plenty space, the site is not too big. The count of restored files is 1099 most of them (images) not longer in useYes. Now that you have saved a copy of everything on your site you are free to modify.
Delete old unused images. Be careful not to take out any of the SYMBOL images. CSB gets cranky with these now and then and leaving them on your site will take no space. (Symb075c00b700c800000000.png)
I thought that every time you published, Items not on the list would be deleted...Make sure you do FILE SAVE AS and RENAME the file fairly often! This will compact the file as best can be. Otherwise YOU see the item is missing from your tlx file, but CSB holds a memory of those things!
Batman (on the GlobalSCAPE forum) asked me this question:
Doesn't this FILE SAVE AS method create multiple and useless and out-dated copies of the files? And I answered:
Yup. Sure does. 3 advantages to this method:
1) Compacts the file, keeping it running as smoothly as possible. File save as without a rename does NOT have the same effect. Compacting the file is VITAL. It is the ONLY WAY to prune the file to fully remove pages/images from the file. Otherwise the file has a memory of unused code, bloating the file and making it more likely to have problems. Sometimes this procedure removes the big problems and corruptions too.
2) The older file becomes your BACKUP. Should you encounter corruptions in the main file making it unusable, you can revert to your last version. Has saved a TON of people. I save the file with names that have dates in them: main-01-01-08.tlx, main-01-17-08.tlx etc so it is VERY EASY to identify the most current file and the last backup. I back them up on CD or backup drive then dump them from my computer. If you don't want to burn them, that is your choice but keeping 2 or 3 older copies is always recommended. If you don't have them and the main file you are working on becomes corrupted, you are done....start over from scratch.
3) Archival record of the site. Last year I had to prove when something was loaded to the website. Used the archives (those dusty cds that have no value to you) to identify the date that was added. Proved that the content was MINE and that someone else was copying it!
say that I open CBS and start a NEW program. Can I copy and paste page by page?. You will not be able to copy the entire page at one time. Depending on how you put your pages together, you may need to copy/paste little by little. A paragraph, a picture, at a time. You will need to do each border separately since you used FRAMES to publish your website.
You might consider unchecking the box for frames (in publishing options) so you have a single solid web page this time around. Your choice.
Please read about FRAMES here. That page will explain why you have several versions of the same page listed in your TransferTlx.txt file.
how do I have to manage the page names?Changing page names is VERY easy. You right click your page and go into the PAGE PROPERTIES to set your page names!
CSB3 and 4: You type in the name of the page into the
SHORT TITLE field.
Page properties shown here CSB5: You type in the name of the page into the
FILE NAME field.
Page properties shown here So if you want the page to be named
id39.htm, you would type in
id39 into the field I listed above.
Your TransferTlx.txt file lists a LOT of page names that you will
not have to work with.
"
id39.htm",12783,-411392808 (
MASTER PAGE)
"id39_l.htm",2341,1073841176 (LEFT frame)
"id39_t.htm",872,-671088986 (TOP frame)
"id39_b.htm",3342,1864600673 (BOTTOM frame)
"id39_m.htm",12389,-658502761 (MAP frame)
The only page name that you need to work with is the
master page: id39.htm
The others are your FRAMED parts of your web page.
If you need these, CSB will make them for you and name them properly if you have named the master page correctly!
(Please go to the page I sent you to see for best explanation and pictures).
How do you keep your site intact as is while you build and test the new file?Use a SUBDIRECTORY!
If you put just one simple change into your publishing details, you will be sending your new file to a test area of your website!
Read about subdirectories here.
SIMPLE!
Just put the word
test into the subdirectory field.
If you fill it with a word, you get a new subdirectory on your website!
The word
test would give you the address: h**p://www.iarfish.com/test/
If you leave that subdirectory field blank, it replaces your home page area that you have now.
When you are satisfied that the new file is ready, you can remove that word and it will publish to the main area of your site!
BY THE WAY, I really like the way you made your image gallery.
You might try to copy that table as one big piece to put it onto your new web page. It might come in just fine in one copy/paste. You will probably have to set your links again to open the large images.
If that page does not need to be updated, you can leave it AS IS and not make it again in your new CSB file.
