URLs in orphaned file list?

when I check for orphaned files on my very old, very messy
website I see urls like "/http:/java.sun.com",
"mailto:[email protected]" and nothing happens when I choose
"open file". I can delete them from the list but when I run the
orphaned files check again they're all back! what's going on?
I recognize most of these as files and links that were
deleted long ago (them and the pages that linked to them). How is
dreamweaver finding these links and what are they doing in the
orphaned files list?

> I recognize most of these as files and links that were

Under the main dw menu->Site->Advanced->Rebuild Site
Cache.

Orphaned files - broken links - URGENT

Hi everyone
I am currently going through and deleting 675 orphaned files
and files that are old although if they create a broken link after
deletion this will not show when I re run the link checker even
though I know they are. Does anyone know why this is? I can't keep
deleting things if it is going to create a broken link within the
site. Also, is there any way of finding out where an individual
document is located on the site if at all?
Second issue is that orphaned files that I have deleted in
both the local site and remote site are still coming up when I do
the link check. Why is this so and how can I get them removed from
the orphaned files list?
Please help
Merry

many of the people offering answers use the NNTP newsgroup
reader version.
the webforum has been flaky lately i think.
Here's my reply from a while ago-
after deleting files- recreate the site cache.
It's under the site menu on older versions, under
site-->advanced on newer.
dw's link checker checks html links, and links in "behaviors"
that it
understands.
it will not check links in most javascript.
What's an example of a broken link that dw didn't warn of
when deleting the
reported orphan? �url address to the page??
and here are links to a google archive of the newsgroup.

About orphaned files

Hi,
I tried to run a sitewide link check and realized that one of the orphaned files listed was "update_payment.php" ...
So I did a sitewide search for "update_payment.php" and realized that indeed , a couple of javascript were calling this file out ("GET","update_payment.php?q="+str,true);
That means "update_payment.php" is not an orphaned file ... it is needed ... I also got that with some images files that were listed as orphaned when they were needed ...
The question is : How can we make the most of this DW feature ? What are the limits ? Anyone has tried it out yet ? It sounds wonderfull to have an option that can get rid out of all those files you acccumulated and don't need anymore !
If DW can find all files that contain "update_payment.php" then it should be able to work out if "update_payment.php" is being called out anywhere (as long as the filename is not given dynamically obviously)...it doesn't seem to work that way ... "update_payment.php" is a file that is harcoded in php and js files ... why DW considers it as orphaned ?

Hi, thanks for the reply ... it seems like it is not very good with php either when it comes to this kind of link <?php echo SITE;?>add_tour.php" ... how can we make the most of this feature ?

Get file list from URL/web directory

Hey guys,
I have created a script for After Effects that can download multiple images from URLs that are given in an array. Now ideally what I want, is to get all the filenames of the files in a certain browsable web directory to be put in an array.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Does someone have the knowledge here to help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

This is more difficult to do than it seems. Since the files are on a remote web server, you need to find some way to get the server to divulge its local file structure, which is not something most servers will do. The absolute best way is to have control over the web server and run some server-side code (PHP, node.js, whatever) to generate the file list on the server side and then fetch it with your client/extension/script. Other than that it's almost impossible to get a 3rd party server to divulge its file structure as far as I know, mainly for security reasons. So the #1 question is: do you have control over the server/website that you're trying to fetch from or not?

Get file list of directory files from URL ?

Hello,
GIven a URL directory, I would like to get a list of all the files in that URL directory:
url = new URL("http//www.example.com");
c = url.getContent();
// Suppose there is a file http://www.example.com/myfile.txt
// How do I get a list from c?
Essentially, I want something equivalent to the File "list" method
file = new File("H:/tmp");
list = file.list()
Thanks in advanced.

How can I extract all URL's into a list from 'mm_report' file?

I've Googled this with no luck; I have a 'mm_report' in xml format. It contains a lot of text that also includes approx 800 URL links I need to extract these URLs into a separate list. I've tried using a regular expression: href=\"([^\"]+) in 'Find and Replace' which successfully highlights the links but now need to know how to reverse this process so it deletes [strips] all surrounding text & only leaves me with a list of all URL's in this file.
Any advise, much appreciated.

Hi Hans,
here's an edited version to show just 3 links:

This might help:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=696586
As well, you might have to change the servlet-mapping in your web.xml. The url-pattern, I think, needs to be .xhtml. Your login.jsf file in the welcome list will need to be renamed to login.xhtml.

My MacBook Pro (2010) running Mountain Lion is getting slower and slower. How do I fix the orphan files?

My 2010 Macbook pro is running slower and slower. I went to the Genius Bar about eight months ago, and they botted up from the disk, and let it go through and find what its process to find and fix what I think were "orphan" files. I cannot remember what they did, but when they did it, the speed on my Macbook picked up considerably.
I have since upgraded to Mountain Lion, but these problems do not seem related to that. My 500 GB HDD is about 80% full.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Web.xml - can't get the url from xml file..

Hi all,
Im a beginner @ jsp =)
My question is as follow..I cant get base from the web.xml file.
This is a shorten version of my web.xml..
<web-app>
     <welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>Default.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
     
     <servlet>
          <servlet-name>ControllerServlet</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>ControllerServlet</servlet-class>
          
     <init-param>
               <param-name>base</param-name>
               <param-value>http://localhost:8080/burnaby/ControllerServlet</param-value>
          </init-param>
</servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ControllerServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ControllerServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
And my jsp file:
<%
     String base = (String) application.getAttribute("base");
     String imageUrl = (String) application.getAttribute("imageUrl");
%>
<table width="740" cellpading="0" height="75" cellspacing="0" border="0">
     <tr>
          <td align="left" bgcolor="#F6F6F6">
               <font face="Verdana" size="3">Sky's E-mall!</font>
          </td>
          <td align="right" bgcolor="#F6F6F6">
               <a href="<%=base%>?action=displayShoppingCart"><img border="0" src="<%=(imageUrl + "cart.gif" )%>"></a>
               ��
          </td>
     </tr>
</table>
I have written it of a book im reading and i cant get it to work. Base and imageUrl always become null.
thank you
/Robert

I'm a little new to JSPs and servlets too, but I'll give this one a shot. I think since your variables like 'base' are servlet initial parameters, they don't get initialized until you actually call the servlet ( I'm not 100% on this, though). Try calling the servlet and having it forward the response back to your original JSP and see if you get values then.

Applet retreiving file list in Codebase

I want an applet to get the list and consequently open all the files in its code base. They are all images that i want to present in a tabbed window.
The application version of the code used the File.list( ) method. But i guess that is not usable from an applet due to security restrictions.

Thanks,
But how do you enable browsing ... also ... if i get the list somehow ... can it be used only for images, or can i open other text files also ..
If you enable browsing (showing file list for
browsing) on the virtual directory where the image
files are located, then you can download the file list
and use it to get the URL of every single image. Even
better would be to implement some functionality on the
server that simply gave you the list of URL's upon
request.

Orphan 'Files' vs orphan 'STYLES'?

Developing and maintaining hundreds of web pages for a web site can be a hassle (I know - preaching to the choir.)
DW has a nice feature for identifying and locating unused (orphan) files,
however,
Page designs evolve over time.
Hard to keep track of all pages that call for a style that is no longer defined or have a style definition that is no longer used.
Sure would be nice to be able to
(1) identify and locate unused 'Styles' in stylesheets and/or in documents or to
(2) produce a list of all styles defined in the head of all pages of a web site.
e.g.
last year I created some pages that needed a <p> with a smaller font and had a margin of 10 px on all sides.
I defined that style in the head of the document.
Later I standardized on a style that I use on several pages that is only slightly different.
Created a new style in a style sheet.
Even replaced the style identifier for paragraphs on pages I could find that used the old reference to the style I don't want to use any more.
Problem is - I still have pages that have the old unused style definition in the head of the document.
I know, I can search the site for any source code that contains '.dumstyle_icky' and replace or delete it.
But I've been a proliferous experimentor.
Tons of old pages to wade through.
Am I the only one that has this kind of problem on a site redisign?
Is there an extension, etc., that can help with this kind of houskeeping?
I purchased 'CSS Edit'. Nice CSS editor but no help organizing styles or cleaning up css on existing htm or php documents.
dan h.

If you use Firefox (and everyone should IMHO), there's an add-on for it called Dust-Me Selectors that finds unused CSS selectors in pages and keeps a log to cross check against other site pages.

Can't delete orphaned files

If know how this works and it should be simple. I ran Check Links Sitewide. I highlighted Orphaned Files under the Link Checker tab. There are a lot of them--over 6,000. I want to delete these files. I select all of them and press the Delete button, nothing happens. I select a few and try the same thing. I try it with both delete buttons and with cmd-delete (which works in Mac Finder). I even try checking to see if there is a delete option under the right mouse button. Still nothing. (unless somehow these files are being deleted invisibly but still show up on the list? Shouldn't the filename disappear from the list when they are deleted?) I checked my keyboard and the delete button is working. Any ideas what is happening? Any other method I can use to delete these files?

I suggest recreating your cache.
You will find it in the menus at the top.

Orphaned files on atv

hi
just noticed i have old video podcasts appearing on my apple tv which are unplayable and are not present in my itunes library or anywhere on my mac.
how do i remove these orphaned files to stop them appearing on my atv
ps its not a syncing issue these files are not available to sync.
thanks
chris

I believe I can solve this
Orphaned podcasts plagued me for bit until I found out how to fix it.
What is happening is that for some reason the actual podcast media file has been deleted, but it is still listed in your iTunes library (even if it doesn't look like it, believe me the problem is with the iTunes *library file*).
How to fix if you can't see the podcast listed in iTunes?
Simples. Create a Smart Playlist that looks for media is Podcast.
If you are having the same exact issue I had, then you will see the troublesome podcasts listed in this smart playlist even if they were not listed elsewhere in the library)
Now, to delete them, you must either hold down the option key (alt) and right click and select Delete or hold down the option key and hit backspace to delete the entry. You'll be asked if you want to delete the file from your library (say Yes) and also if you want to move the file to the trash (yes) again, even though there's no file to move).
re-sync Apple TV. Bingo.

Customize orphan file report?

Using DW CS6 (Windows 7 if that makes a difference) can we customize a broken link/orphan file report in any way? I've been searching around for this for a while and haven't found anything so I'm assuming no but...
The problem:
We use Adobe Contribute with rollbacks enabled so it will create file strings that contain "_bak" when a page is published to our development server. When generating a report looking for orphan files, I have to weed through thousands (around 10,000 lines in an Excel file) of these false orphans to end up with a list of real orphans. Is there a way to search the site and ignore any files/folders with _bak in the string?
Thanks!

Thanks both of you. I guess I'd better brush up on my Excel skills.
And I agree Nancy. I never use or trust it to find broken links. I'm strictly using it to locate orphan files that our users neglected to delete from the site. I've used Xenu in the past but found another tool called Deep Trawl that I've been using. Not that it's any better really. I just like the interface a little more.
Thanks again!
