Dreamweaver Help with Actinic

[wight]

I have been using Actinic for a few months now. I started with one of the templates, which has been ok. I want to change the home page, I have designed a page in Dreamweaver, all the images are located in Site1 folder and all I have done is over written the Act_BrochurePrimary page. When I upload the site I get missing picture links, all the text is there but no pictures. When I veiw the site off line again the pictures are not there. What am I doing wrong, can any one help. I know it is probably just where the images are pointing to, but where do I point the images so they can been seen.
I don't use the Dreamweaver FTP but upload the site using the Actinic upload button.
I have put the old home page back on temp, until I can solve this little problem.

Please help me...................................

Hi Jo

I was working with it last night, I have cracked it. It was me being silly. (Must be the sea air on the Isle of Wight !!) Even though I upload the home page, the images were not on the /web, now I have put my head around it, I create a home page, upload the site, upload the /images folder and hey presto, they are there.

Is this right, is it what you would do.

That method seems ok.

The other way is as we discussed, ie referencing the images from the acatalog folder. Then you wouldn't have to upload the images separately. you could have the images listed in Advanced Menu|additional files to get them to upload

you could then use a hard link to the images ie http://www.wightcomputers.com/acatalog/image1.jpg

This is coming so clear now.....

So I make the page in dreamweaver, and if the images were say in my docs, I would add them into the Advanced/Additional Files, and they would upload. So I would not have to FTP my images folder to the site.

Is that right.

i'm pretty sure the images have to be in site1 in order for them to upload using additional files

What I am attemping to do is finish off the home page, all the images are in the images folder in Site1 already. I will try it your way, adding the images through advanced/additional files and see what happens.

Don't forget that the images will upload to the acatalog folder
