Index, home page, uploading to website

Hi, in DW 8.0
I have never uploaded our website's home page before. I have uploaded the pages within the site. These pages are under a drive - X:/sitefolder
The index.html file is just under the X: drive.
I have my site local root folder to be X:/sitefolder.
I did the following under DW
Sites
Manage Sites
clicked on the site I need & presed Edit
clicked Advanced Tab
highlighted Site Map Layout
Saw that the Home page says: X:/sitefolder/index.html
How do I get this to be under X because I do not want the homepage under the "sitefolder" just the X drive.
Thank you.

Murray, you might kill me. I have another question on this.
There are 3 javascript files saved under X:/images
These files are used to run the navigation menu on every page.
One file holds the code to create the menu.
The second writes out the main menu.
The third writes the submenus.
I won't need to - your menu choice will do that just fine. I can already tell you have made a gross error in using this menu system. Why? It (sounds like) it depends on javascript. Guess what doesn't use javascript? HINT - search engines, and people using screen assistive devices. That means that search engine spiders will NOT see your menu, therefore they will not see the links in it - they will not be able to spider your site. Your SE ranking will then be based on the content on the home page only. And with screen assistive devices as a problem, your site will not meet any of the requirements of 508 Accessibility. If I am correct, you will need to replace that entire menu system.
Would I have to move these to the path X:/sitefolder so I can upload them in DW?
I am afraid to do this because I am afraid the menus will be screwed up or not show on each page.
Yes, you would have to do that. Go ahead. Now, adjust the link to these 3 files on each page so that they reflect the new location. That's simple enough. The bad news is that having moved the javascript files, the individual submenu links may also be broken. So that means that if you want to stick with this menu system <sigh> you will have to recreate it in the new site definition.

How do I replace my index (Home) page with a new page?

My iWeb site has a "Home" page as it's default index page. I renamed the page "Home4" and created a new "Home" page in hopes that the new page would become the default page. Nope, it still goes to "Home4".
Next, I tried deleting Home4, now I just get an error message when trying to go to the site.
I should mention that I deleted the Home4 page through the MobilMe website, not in iWeb. I see that there is an index.html file in the site directory which I "assume" is a redirect to what iWeb considers to be the "Default" page. But, I see no way to edit or even view the contents of the index.html page.

Bonjour
Your new home page need to be the first one at the top of the sidebar of iWeb.
Publish
iWeb will build a new index.html which redirects to the new home page

Making an entrance page and an index (home) page query?

Hi All,
I've not done anything this way before but for a uni web design and development assignment, I've to firstly design a website with all the theory and how it will all come together.
Therefore, I'm wanting mine to be a little different from the generic kind and whilst I'm basing my subject matter on Tigers and the several species of, I'm creating an entrance page in fireworks that is the following;
I'm planning on sectioning up and placing hotspots around the interior of the tiger body, this will enable viewers to select and go to set pages like "about" "tiger zone" "contact" and so on.
However, I still need a traditional-ish homepage but I'm unsure how to make it that whilst people come in via the entrance page ( as above and the main url) whenever they've left this page to go in to the main homepage, they don't return via any of the main sites navigation menu / links back to this entrance page, is this possible in anyway?
I'm trying to get my own head around this and I have spent a number of hours researching this issue but I cannot find any resource that is anything like what I'm needing to do.
Thanks as always people.
Regards,

Yes, 2nd landing page will be the 'traditional' homepage.
This case, the tiger page will have to be 'index.php' so it'll load when your site is entered in a browser. Why PHP - we'll get to that in a bit.
Let us use, lets say a cookie to see if the user has already been on your index.php (which is your tiger page). If they already have, they will be taken to index2.html (the 2nd homepage - which doesn't have to be php as we aren't using any cookies/ sessions here).
Something like this should work:
<?php
// please note there is a dot prefixed in '.yourdomain.com':
setcookie('homepage', 1, time() + 365*24*60*60, '/', '.yourdomain.com');
if(!empty($_COOKIE['homepage']))
   header('Location: http://yourdomain.com/another_page.html');
   exit;
// you could add more PHP code (if you require), but ensure this patch of code is right at the top of your tiger index page
?>
This should be placed at the very top of your tiger index page which is your initial homepage when users enter your site.
This is how it works:
homepage - the defined name for this cookie
1 - enables the cookie
time() - expiration value for the cookie. The value suffixed with 'time()' is for 1 year - meaning the cookie will remain active for 1 year. If you want it to exist until the browser is closed, set it 0 like this:
setcookie('homepage', 1, 0, '/', '.yourdomain.com');
The / next to time is the areas within your domain that the cookie is available for. / denotes higher most domain path. This is useful if your index.php file (main splash page) is located within the main domain root itself. If not, if it is located somewhere like yourdomain.com/tigerhome, set that to this:
setcookie('homepage', 1, time() + 365*24*60*60, '/tigerhome/', '.yourdomain.com');
Please notice the trailing and prefix slashes for the folder value
yourdomain.com - is the main value of your domain itself. Please note the prefixed dot [.] before the yourdomain.com.
How the header works:
   header('Location: http://yourdomain.com/another_page.html');
If the cookie called 'homepage' exists, then when the user is trying to load index.php, the header condition is read by the browser first. If it is true, the user is taken to another_page.html. If not, the user is allowed to continue viewing index.php page.
The reason we have this at the very top is because when the user attempts to load up index.php page, you dont want the content to be shown before redirect happens. Hence, the header condition along dependant on the cookie is first read by the browser.
If you want custom time setting - maybe 1 day, set it to this:
setcookie('homepage', 1, time() + 1*24*60*60, '/', '.yourdomain.com');
5 hours, this:
setcookie('homepage', 1, time() + 1*5*60*60, '/', '.yourdomain.com');
And so on...
Note: The cookie will expire if the user clears browser cookies manually!
But this is the basic way of getting a cookie set for getting what you want done.
Also, I've set up a test page on my domain for you - expires in 1 year from first visit. Loads on index.php and redirects to test2.html if the cookie is already set. Try it out for yourself here.
Trust this helps.

I downloaded Firefox 4. Now I no longer have the icon to automatically return to my home page from another website. How do I get it back?

The entire toolbar is different, but most especially there is no icon (used to be a little house) that I can click on to return to my home page. Using Vista

The home page icon has by default been moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back to where you want - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars

Blue background for home page but let websites set their own?

how do I make my (v11) homepage left centered for the personal picture I use and blue background color. AND still have webpages set their own background colors?

It is a new feature in Firefox 11+ to display a single image centered with an almost black background.
It is added by this stylesheet:
* resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css
You can look at this extension to set your preferred background color and remove the centering.
* Old Default Image Style: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/old-default-image-style/

Anyone using Mr Site Pro website software on their iMac, if so how di insert the copyright symbol into my home page?

I am trying to insert the copyright symbol into the home page of my website, I am using Mr Site Pro software, on windows it is 0169 but this does'nt work on the imac, can anyone help?

Or you can try option (alt or ⌥) + G to type ©.
For future reference, enable the keyboard viewer;
System Preferences > Language and Text > Input Sources tab. Top of the left column, tick (check) "Keyboard and Character Viewer", Bottom of window next to search field, tick "Show input menu in menu bar"
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab; tick "show keyboard and character viewers in menu bar"
All the standard diacritical marks and common symbols can be accessed directly from the standard keyboard. ü is produced by pressing alt (option) + U, release them and type U. Similarly é is alt+e, followed by e.
If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the alt (option) key, the location of the marks will be revealed. Note that five of them are highlighted in orange; these are the ones which can be used with multiple letters (acute, umlaut, gràve, circumflex and tilde)
Shift+Alt will show more.
These are the results of holding down option and shift+option for a standard UK keyboard (US is similar, but a few keystrokes are reversed)

How do I change the filename on the home page?

I am trying to change the file name from the home page..
I go to page properties > options > filename .... but it is frozen as index.html
Is there a way to change that and name it something else?

Hello,
As most of the web servers consider index.html as home page for the site, Due to this the option is grayed out in Muse to rename Index (Home Page).
How ever you can go ahead and change the name of other pages in site plan.

How can I display a complete category on my sites home page with product images?

I have a site which I am tryingt o make as user friendly as possible for the customer and want to display products on the home page of the website which are all located within one category. Essentially I want to display the products with image, price and buy now buttons as they are displayed within a normal category but on the home page of the site.
Appreciate any help with this.
Thanks

Hi evonn,
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure that I understand your question correctly. I understand that you want to keep Gmail as your homepage, but I am not sure what you mean by setting Firefox as your server.
Are you trying to access the Firefox "start page"? If so, you can do by opening a new tab, and typing '''about:home''' on the address bar, and pressing '''Enter'''.
Please let us know if this solves your issue, or if you have any other questions.
If this is not what you're trying to accomplish, can you please provide a link to the tutorial that you mentioned, as well as what subsection of the tutorial you are referring to, and we'll be able to help you.
Thanks!!

Firefox start page opens up as new tab whenever my home page opens

I've changed the default home page to another website.
Whenever Firefox starts up, two tabs will open ie. my homepage and Firefox start page. While browsing on any tab, if I click ALT+HOME to go to homepage, a new tab opens again for the firefox start page.
Why is this happening? It didn't happen with older firefox browser versions.

I have the same issue and figured it out. When you (and I) set our home pages, the Firefox start page was open also. Firefox takes every tab you have open when you set your home page. So close all but 1 tab and go to your desired home page and set it through the Tools>options>General tab. That fixed it for me.

I've lost the google window at the top of my home page. It normally appears at the top of the my.yahoo page. How can I get it back?

I normally get a top frame in my home page showing the website address of the page and, to the right, a space for my search engine. I seem to have lost these on my computer. My partner's computer still shows these, but I can't seem to find differences in the two computers' settings to explain. How can I get this frame back?

From your Safari menu bar click View / Customize Toolbar.
Drag the default bar up or individual objects.

Multiple Home Page settings not working in Server 2008 R2

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 as a DC & ADC is same 2008 R2 server both with SP1 with IE 11 installed
other Group policies are there & running well.
I had setup two home pages but on user machines its showing & running only one Primary home page.
I have one my intranet site & another home page is our website.
I have enable "Disable changing Primary Home page" & kept my intranet page there.
I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" & kept my website page there.
After gpupdate I can see only one page in users Internet settings. My website page is not at all loading !!!
Scenario 2 :-
I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
after Gpupdate its loading 3 pages. Twice same intranet page & one website page.
In group policy configured only two & loading 3 pages?
I need it must show only two pages. Tried all the ways & seems frustrating with Windows Server 2008 R2 Group Policy.
Does anyone succeeded in the multiple home i.e. must load Only TWO pages in the IE browser via Group policy.
All users have 64 bit Windows 7 OS with IE 10 & IE 11 browser installed & updated. Servers has IE 11

Hi,
As suggested by Martin, the easy way to do this is GPP.
>>I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
>>I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
Before going further, we should set both these settings as Not Configured. Then we go to
User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings.
After creating a new Internet Settings item, we can configure the homepages in the blank on the
General tab. Note: to make the settings effective, we need to press
F5 to make the line under the blank green. At last, we can run
gpupdate/force to refresh the policy.
Best regards,
