Error on uploading site for the first time ........

[Bruce]

Simon,

This error occurs if you have a hard coded url to a .css file on one of your Primary templates. The workaround is to use a CUSTOMVAR in its place.

Edit the respective Primary template with Notepad or dream weaver

Locate the CSS links which point to CSS files via URLs.
Insert before these lines...

CUSTOMVAR:REMOTECSS

Cut and paste the CSS Link lines and paste them into a blank notepad document. Save the new document to RemoteCSS.html in the site folder.

Save your Primary template

Create a new CUSTOMVAR called REMOTECSS in Advanced | Custom Properties.
Add the CUSTOMVAR REMOTECSS to Design | Options | Site Defaults:-

Property REMOTECSS
Value RemoteCSS.html
Searchable Unticked
Use as Customvar Ticked
File name Ticked
Use File Content Ticked

The error should not appear any more when previewing or generating the site.

Kind regards,

Hi Bruce,

You said

This error occurs if you have a hard coded url to a .css file on one of your Primary templates.

Do you mean the "error on upload", or my "images uploading error" ?

and do you mean links like

<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="http://www.esafetysigns.co.uk/acatalog/actinic.css">

?

Thanks, Simon.

Simon,

I meant the Upload error and the link you provided is the cause of the error message. If any of those images are refrenced via the .css file then that could be why you are having issues with them, but to make sure would need to look at a snapshot.

Kind regards,

Snapshot ...

As this issue has been ongoing for months now, (about 6), can you look at my site and help me out ?

Could I send you a snapshot? How do I do this correctly?

Thsnks, Simon.

Simon - the best thing to do would be to raise an email support query at http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/register.htm

That way you will have a dedicated support person looking into your issue.

Done.

Thanks for the help this far, getting there....... Simon.
