ADVICE needed --- use  301 Redirect or revert to HTM   from  HTML  ?

Due to ignorance, I now have two versions of the same website online, the only difference being one is all HTM while the newer one is HTML
The original was built using DW MX2004  with all pages having an HTM extension while DW CS5.5 has all pages with an HTML extension.
Obviously I want to replace the old with the new but don't know how to.
Should I use a 301 redirect in the new folder and upload it with the relevant details ie.  Redirect 301/index.htm http:// www.cumbria-dog-training.com/ index.html    OR   rename the new pages with an htm extension and hope that they've not been crawled yet ( they were uploaded 2 hours ago)
I'd be very grateful for any good advice as I'm staring into a rather dark hole at the moment.
Paull

Hi
Go into your dreamweaver preferences, (Edit - Preferences) and select the 'New Document' category, there you will see your default extension, change this to .htm and change any documents you have already created to the htm file type, (don't forget the dot before the htm file type).
On new sites you create, I would recommend changing this preference back to html for those sites.

  • Advice re.  301 redirect / htmaccess file

    I hope this is the correct place to post this question, re. http://www.cumbria-dog-training.com/index.htm
    I originally had an intro page -  index.htm with an entry page Home.htm.
    Late Oct / early Nov I removed the intro page and renamed Home.htm to index.htm.
    However, searches for cumbria-dog-training.com give a result the original Home page - unless I put the index.htm. in the search.
    I’ve been advised to create a 301 redirect.
    My webhost, Crystaltech, said that I need to do that, having made it I then upload an .htaccess file.
    My website design knowledge is limited to say the least. Is there anything I need to be wary of or avoid doing.
    Many thanks for any advice.
    Paul

    Unfortuantely that's not my problem.
    If you type    cumbria dog training  into google, you will find the site positioned at around number 42.
    However, this is  www.cumbria-dog-training.com/HOME.htm    This is the OLD page that I want to get rid of and replace with
    http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AsfH_jph7OMXw_iz68Gr1Hs4hJp4?vc=&p=cumbria+dog+trai ning&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-702
    (Position No. 7)
    I just don't know the best way of doingt it for Google.
    I hope this makes sense!

  • Advice Needed Using GPRM Registers For a Quiz/Testing DVD

    I have a customer that wants a DVD that will play several instructional videos and after each video jump to a Q & A.  That part is easy enough.  The trick is:
    He also wants to track of number of right and wrong responses during the Q & A.  My thought is to use GPRM registers to keep a tally.  I could use a bit schema to track which answers were correct ( ie 1010 binary would mean, from right to left, 1st & 3rd answers were wrong, 2nd & 4th were correct).  I could track up to 16 questions per GPRM register. 
    At the end of the quiz, he wants to display the results of the tally in the GPRM registers.  Ideally, the DVD would display a generated number that would be written down by the student, and given to the tester, who would have a key for what questions were answered correctly.   ie the displayed number to the previous example would be "10" (decimal value for binary "1010" ).
    I know I can have a DVD jump to a specific screen based on what is in a register, but that would mean having to generate a result screen for EVERY possible combination of right and wrong answers. 
    So, my question is, can I dynamically generate something like an "overlay" to display the GPRM contents?
    Alternatively, is it possible to generate a URL that would have the GPRM contents imbedded, and passed to DVD@access?  A dedicated page would be displayed and the student would print the page to give to the tester, or possibly have the information entered directly into a database.
    The desire of the tester is to prevent cheating by the student, and for the tester to have a reasonably accurate idea of where the student needs to focus his/her studies.  Since I could not find anything every remotely similar to this project in the forum, I am hoping to glean some advice from the pros here.
    If I am heading in entirely the wrong direction, PLEASE let me know.  Any advise on the proper approach to this project would be GREATLY appreciated. 
    I have projected about 16 man hours to complete this project - 5 videos and about 80 questions.  As long as the scripting is as straight forward as I think it is, is this a reasonable expectation? 
    TIA for any advice and suggestions.
    [NOTE: Cross posted at lafcpug }

    Thanks, Shawn. 
    All that being said, the best solution would be to not create a DVD. This sort of project would be much easier, and give you better results if you did this in Flash. The only reason I could see to use a DVD would be if the testers only had access to a DVD player and not a computer.
    That was exactly my sugestion as well.  But the client is quite insistent on creating the project as a DVD - yes the DVD Player uption is a requirement.
    I have created DVD with several thousand links... very daunting, but turned out well and the customer was very happy.
    I reviewed the DVDSP manual to make sure what the customer wanted was not covered, but I wanted to make sure.
    What I have suggested is that when I student gets an answer wrong that an option is given to review the relavent section.  Since there will be less that 100 question, it would not be a big deal to created an appropriate final score bases on a GPRM value.
    Thank you very much for the rreply.  It is greatly apprecaited.

  • Advice needed for reinstalling iTunes and restoring my library from backup

    I have some issues with my PC (Windows XP) that are not related to iTunes. But I am about to wipe my machine clean. Here is what I plan to do:
    0) Sync iPhone with iTunes
    1) De-authorize my computer with iTunes
    2) Wipe my hard drive, reinstall XP
    3) Reinstall iTunes from scratch
    4) Restore my music library (my documents) folders from an external hard drive.
    5) Authorize my computer again
    I know that authorizing the computer is necessary in order to play purchase songs. Is there anything I have do in order to use applications on the iPhone? Any steps I have missed here?
    Advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    You better ask this question over in the iPhone forum, too - I don't have an iPhone, so don't know where the iPhone apps are stored.
    Anyway - the first thing to do is deauthorize your PC.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
    Second, make sure you have a good backup of you itunes library database.
    It's the ITL file mentioned here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    When you reinstall XP, make sure you use the same Windows username as before.
    And make sure your exHD has the same drive letter as before.

  • Need RTF Editor which can be brought up from HTML page

    My application needs to be able to bring up a RTF editor in a html page and save the resulting RTF to the database in a BLOB. It appears that the email product in Oracle Collaboration suite does this. Does anyone know of software I can use to do this or any contacts in the Collaboration Suite group that I can talk to?

    I'm not extremely experienced as a JSP/Java programmer but here are my thoughts:
    It sounds like your basic requirements are fairly simple, but you are taking the long way around to get there. If it is a dictionary-style app and the administrator is of limited experience then you need to keep things simple.
    Why create pages to upload when you can create a template with JSP and insert the text data and the images from a form? Text and link info can be stored in a database and the actual image can be uploaded to a directory or put in the db if you know how. Java Server Pages (O'Reilly) has the image upload code you need.
    Am I on track here?

  • Is theme.css Use Different in ApEx 3.1.2 from HTML-DB 1.6

    Great! What happened to the text I just spent the last 45 minutes composing??????????????
    Edited by: Canis Polaris on Apr 9, 2009 2:18 PM

    >
    EarlL,
    Thank you very much for your thoughtful and timely replies.
    "Virtually the same" simply means that the only changes that may have taken place between the time I exported from 1.6 / imported into 3.1.2 and now wouldn't have any impact on this situation. They're changes such as a temporary change on the 1.6 version to a temporary reports server while we rebuild the current reports server. I haven't made any changes to the imported app yet.Except that you jumped about 8 releases between export and import. I would hope that theme 10 wasn't change significantly between then and now.
    I'll look into the web developer toolbar for Firefox. Thanks for that tip.
    I am using whatever css files were installed with the new Oracle DB and ApEx install/patchset/upgrade. I'm guessing that the "t10ContentBody" selector is still the one being referenced by the pages. I suppose the web developer toolbar would help me confirm this.So you edited the CSS file from the new installation to try to accomplish this change? I'm wondering if you might not have edited the wrong file.
    You can see what CSS selector is going to attempt to be used by looking at the class names in the HTML elements. In the CSS file they will be preceded with a dot, e.g. .t10ContentBody or whatever the case may be. While the developer toolbar allows you to zoom in to inspect the corresponding elements quickly you can also look at the HTML source to see what's going on under the hood.

  • Webmaster tools change of address 301 redirect failed using domain forward

    I'm having trouble with webmaster tools recognising our domain name change.
    We've recently updated website and done a name change from www.qldtshirt.com.au to www.qtco.com.au. I am using domain forwarding so qldtshirt.com.au forwards to qtco.com.au (aswell has with www.) and every thing works perfectly.
    www.qldtshirt.com.au/products/polo-shirts/cool-dry-fabric forwards to:
    http://www.qtco.com.au/products/clothing/polo-shirts/cool-dry-fabric
    We have about 4000 301 redirects setup in URL Redirects:
    /products/business-and-corporate/desk-and-office/100-organic-cotton-pencil-case to
    /products/gifts-incentives/desk-and-office/100-organic-cotton-pencil-case
    so on and so on....
    I've verified all sites in webmaster tools however when change of address from www.qldtshirt.com.au to www.qtco.com.au webmaster tools presents this error:
    "301 redirect failed. We detect that the root address of your old site (www.qldtshirt.com.au) does not yet redirect to the root address of your new site (www.qtco.com.au). For more information use the Fetch as Google tool."
    It works perfectly fine for the end user, anyone know why and how to fix please?

    I am using InDesign CS5. I have a body of text which is ranged left with tabbed indents. My client now wants the copy to be justifed, keeping the tabbed indents. Help and advice needed please!

    Hi
    That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
    Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
    I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
    Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
    The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
    Hope that helps
    Paul
    PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
    after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
    You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

  • 301 redirects using .htaccess

    Hey Guys, I've got to redirect a couple of pages on a site for SEO and am not sure the best format to code it in. I've looked up a bunch of so-called tutorials and they all say what a 301 redirect does but nothing as far as how to code it....
    For example, the courses page on the site is not there anymore cause they are now selling through a third party sooooo
    www.bliqm.com/courses.html   ->   needs to redirect to   ->  www.bliqm.com/lss_blended.html
    How would I got about doing that???
    Thanks in advance!
    by the way the site is http://www.bliqm.com if needed.

    Here's a page that tell you how to add the .htaccess file.

  • 301 Redirections - Proper way to set up?

    Hi - I have an quick and hopefully easy 301 redirect question.
    Here is the duplicate title Notice from Webmaster Tools (and this is also showing duplicate content in SEOMoz).
    So obviously I need to do a 301 redirect.
    The top level menus on the site point to the /about version and not the index.html
    the /index.html is NOT the one I want to use for the 301 if possible - does anyone have a suggestion for how to accomplish this?
    Thanks!

    Have you just tried doing the basic issue there and changed title tags?
    Had someone ask this on the forums before and over complicating looking at 301's when they just changed names of items and page titles and fixed it
    Not sure what you mean about /about etc.
    If you have an about page you got several pages related to it? You have a dropdown menu? So you made a folder /about and the landing page index.html?
    If not and it is just one page and you did that you do not need to. /about as a page is all you need.
    You got to remeber that when  you post on the forums you see all your information and sites, we do not so you need to be detailed or exact in your posts so we can get to the same pooint as you in our heads

  • Content managed 301 redirects

    I am trying to work out the best way to allow content authors to create and manage 301 redirects within the CMS. We are using GSF for friendly URLs, but they also want to be able to (for example) create a catchy URL to be distributed on print media that will redirect to an existing page within the site (or potentially to a page on an external site).
    I know that I cannot change the response headers in the JSP, and so am looking at the best way to do so within the existing software stack. The GSTAlias class appears to be almost what I need, but only supports 302 redirects, not 301.
    My current though is that I will implement a custom filter (which will compare the incoming URL against the list of redirects that it retrieves from WCS and send a 301 if needed) and insert it into the filter chain, but I was hoping to get some feedback on this and see if anyone had done this before or knew of a better way to do it.
    Cheers,
    Stephen

    Previously I've done redirects exactly like you, using a custom filter which was installed on the Satellite servers.
    My implementation ended being a bit more complicated since all code using friendly URLs had to be executed within a cached code block due to an earlier design decision. What I ended up with was a setup where the templates could generate some output that could be interpretted by the filter. Like #R#301#http://somepage.com# which the filter picked up. Unfortantely that approach required me to read through the output of the pages and add some caching to often requested URLs in order avoid parsing through the content again.
    If you have GSF on your site as well, you might have a look at com.fatwire.gst.foundation.httpstatus.HttpResponseStatusFilter which enables you to communicate status codes from the ContentServer. Note that proper redirects are not supported, or at least not implemented.
    Also this requires your code to make the decision in a XML based wrapper, since you cannot communicate response codes from JSP.
    If the requirements are quite simple, you can create a basic asset type containing the URL to match and where to redirect to and in your XML wrapper do a very simple sql lookup which should give you enough performance in order to have this executed in an un cached element. The SQL cache will save you for the common requested URLs.
    Please note, that if you are running remote satellite servers I am not quite sure how this will work, if they support handling other response codes and if they can handle additional information found in a 301 redirect.

  • 301 redirects and iWeb index page

    Our site has grown and we will be changing our domain name and hosting co. (We are keeping the old domain active for a while at MME before we change domain name and hosting) I will need to redirect traffic for a while so as not to lose those who have just bookmarked us. Will just redirecting on the index page that iWeb creates (post publish) do that without creating a mess of our page rankings at Google? Currently we are in the top 15 responses for our search terms. Or should i create some other type of redirect? 301? (via cname or htaccess) will that ding me at google? Thanks- try to keep it as simple as possible - I don't code - I experiment and Apple has made it easy.
    jy

    What I would do is purchase the hosting and see if you can have more than one add-on domain. Most web hosts let you do this on one account so it doesn't cost you any more money. You are doing this because you will need a .htaccess file to set up your 301 redirects properly. This is what you should do;
    1) Register your new domain and publish your site to it.
    2) Create a webmaster tools account for BOTH your old and new domain name.
    3) Create a 301 redirect for each individual page to the new corresponding page on your new domain. This can be done with a few lines in your .htaccess file. The file should be in your root folder of your OLD domain. Put this on your .htaccess file (NOTE: This assumes you will have the exact same website structure on the new domain);
    RewriteEngine ON
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mynewdomain.com/$1 \[R=301,L\]
    OPTIONAL: Use Google's canonical tag on each one of your pages to avoid any issues with duplicate content. Link the old page to it's new corresponding page. This is optional but recommended if you can;
    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.newdomain.com/newpage.html" />
    4) Login to your Webmaster Tools account and select your OLD domain. Then select 'Site Configuration' and then 'change of address'. Follow the steps provided (which are basically what I told you above). Step 4 in there is the important one.
    5) Submit a sitemap for your new website. This will make sure you know when Google has indexed your new website.
    6) Important: Even though you have done everything properly there is a chance your rankings will change. To help prevent this, update as many third party links as you can to your new site. This won't be possible for all links since you won't have control over them but you should try contacting the website owners who have linked to you to update their links. You should also try getting new links to your new domain.
    You can find all the sites you have linked to you by logging into your webmaster tools account and clicking your OLD domain. Then go to 'Your site on the web' and then to 'Links to your site'.
    Nothing will be instant here, it will take a few days for everything to update but the above is the way Google recommends you do it.

  • 301 redirect question

    I have a website with a couple thousand pageloads a week and
    a google rank of 5.
    I have set up a blog on the same server in a directory and
    now want to move the blog to the domain name and have the traffic
    and the rank go to the blog rather than the website.
    Some say do 301 redirect.
    Some say just move your blog index.php.
    Some say erase the WWW.domain redirect, leave THAT as the
    website and use the NO-WWW.domain for the blog?
    Any advice on this please?
    RJ

    Thanx Sonjay!
    The website is not going under, it is important, but the blog
    is more important regards bringing in search results. I want the
    arrival to the blog and then go to the website if they want.
    I tested the 301 htaccess and it worked fine, page rank
    carried over and worked instantly. But I had not figured that about
    1000 links and graphic pointers are now wrong! :) Not quite sure
    what to do about that.
    I have most everything for the website in the root and quite
    a bit of the blog there too, I suppose I could move most everything
    in the root to domain/blog/?
    rackjite.com is my domain, and serendipity is the director
    the blog is in.
    So I though I would try the PHP redirect in the index.htm
    file.
    <?php
    header( 'Location: http:/rackjite.com/serendipity/' ) ;
    ?>
    I tried that with the index.php and no slash and so forth
    with no luck. I put it at tippity top as required and it doesnt do
    anything at all. I do not know if this is a good way of doing it
    but I did want to see what actually happened. If the page rank went
    with it?
    I also wonder about putting the blog index.php into the root
    and what would happen. Does it still default to index.htm? if there
    is a index.php.
    My firend with the WWW suggestion has always been a bit weird
    about WWW. He is a WWW advocate of sorts and I dont really know
    what the point is, but it is colored by his prejudice for using
    WWW.
    Im confused on how best to do this.
    One other thing to ponder, the webpage has a grank of 5 and
    the blog even now has google rank of 4, how important is that
    difference?
    I have quite a few links out there to the domain, perhpas I
    could just ask for new links under the blog name and hope they will
    add that too? Been around long enough to know that wont work very
    well though... :)
    thanx again

  • 301 redirect - best way?

    i've been reading about 301 redirects which talk about modifying either .htaccess or httpd.conf but none of the suggestions i've found are working... my goal: if someone enters example.com, i want the server to change the url to www.example.com
    i've read server admin does not do 301 permanent redirects. does anyone know the best way to do this? thanks.

    Hi Scott,
    I recommend not doing major edits to the config files in the /etc/apache2/sites directory. These are sometimes 'auto-cleaned' of custom edits by Server Admin when editing and committing through it (very annoying). Here's what I did that works well for me and has not been auto-cleaned so far:
    1) Make a dir /etc/apache2/users
    2) Make new files in that dir that have names based on your server's web users, e.g. myuser.conf (should not be system users, and not have their web directories in the /Library/Webserver area, IMHO).
    3) Add *Include "/etc/apache2/users/myuser.conf"* to the end of and inside of the <VirtualHost> directive in your site config file in question from /etc/apache2/sites dir.
    4) Add all your custom edits to the user file you need, in this case the 301 redirect (see below for my favorite add-www-301 redirect). If using BBEdit, make sure to re-lock the files when done, but you can leave them open.
    5) In Terminal run +apachectl -t+ to make sure you have no syntax errors in your config edited files, or the Apache will crash when you try to restart it, taking your sites off-line.
    5) Open /var/log/apache2/error_log, with +tail -F -n 50 /var/log/apache2/error_log+ or in Console on the server.
    5) Then, in Server Admin under Web -> Sites, make a trivial change and reverse it (like checking then un-checking a box) as this allows you to gracefully restart Apache without screwing up the Webcache feature (see Web PDF docs about not using +apachectl graceful+ ).
    6) Go back to your Apache error log and make sure Apache did not crash. If it did, reverse your edits and restart Apache again.
    Here is my favorite add-www-301 redirect:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    # Google canonical redirect
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^\[^\.\]+\.....?$ \[NC\]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ \[NC\]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 \[R=301,L\]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^\\[^\.\\]+\.....?$ \[NC\]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^on$ \[NC\]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 \[R=301,L\]
    </IfModule>
    As opposed to other redirects that state the name of the domain, this will cover sites that have multiple domains assigned to them and up to four letters in the TLD (like .info). Also, it handles https redirects as well. Always adding (or removing) the www is important to keep your sites page ranking in Google from being diluted by the non www use (or use) of the base domain. You may already know this, of course.
    The new book http://buildingfindablewebsites.com/ explains this well, though its mod_rewrite solution in limited. Caveat: HTTPS part may not work well with older browsers that do not support HTTP 1.1.
