Adding Subpages to my site

Question

I want to add subpages to my site, this is probably a simple answer, but I can't find it anywhere and I am new to EW4.

This my my website: www.editsbyjordan.com

For instance, when you click "Flag Football" and then "roster" on the rightside it takes me to editsbyjordan.com/roster.html and I want it to be editsbyjordan.com/flagfootball/roster.

I realize that I have made roster a part of my "home page," how do I change that so its a subpage for "Flagfootball."

thanks!

Answer 1

editsbyjordan.com/flagfootball/roster.html just means that the roster.html page is in a folder named flagfootball.

Is that what you really mean? You're just talking about the actual folder structure of your site?

If so, It's just like any file management issue on your hard drive. Create a folder and put roster.html in it. BUT--you'll have to change all the links on each page to point to it. EW will do that for you if you create the folders and move the files within the EW interface (the Folder List panel) AND if you have checked Maintain the site using hidden metadata files in the Site, Site Settings dialogue box.

However--before you go any further, make yourself a DWT to use as a template. When you are adding pages (as you will want to do for next season and the years after and for new galleries, etc.) you'll make your life immensely easier if you just have one master page to edit for all of the common parts of your site.

Open one of the website templates that comes with EW and see how the DWT works. Click File, New, Create from Dynamic Web Template..., choose the site's template, and presto!, a new page just waiting for content. Want to add a page to the menu? Just add it to the DWT and save it. It will update every page in your site automatically.

I figured it would be a simple fix.  Thanks for your help!

Answer 3

Open one of the website templates that comes with EW and see how the DWT works. Click File, New, Create from Dynamic Web Template..., choose the site's template, and presto!, a new page just waiting for content.

Actually, that won't work, Bill. Try it. The built-in templates for EW are not available from the File menu.

To jmjordan, if you want to check out EW's provided templates, try "Site|New Site|Templates," then click each of the templates in the middle column to see a preview of what the template looks like in the right-hand column. When you decide on the one you want, click in the "Name" field to give it the name you want to have it shown by in EW's site list, then, if you don't want it to be created in the default location, use the "Browse" button to choose where to create it. When you're satisfied, click OK. From then on, you can click "Site|Recent Sites..." to open it.

cheers,
scott

Answer 4

No, Scott. I listed how he'd create a new page in the site once it's opened. (...and see how the DWT works. Click File, New, Create from Dynamic Web Template...) Those steps will allow him to create the new page (not a new site).

 Open one of the website templates that comes with EW and see how the DWT works. Click File, New, Create from Dynamic Web Template..., choose the site's template, and presto!

The only way that I can read that, you were telling him how to "Open one of the website templates that comes with EW and see how the DWT works." The sentence which follows that one will not permit him to do so. A new user who does not know EW's interface will be left scratching his head after following those instructions, since no templates are presented after following those instructions. You must have a site open for "Create from Dynamic Web Template..." to even be available on the "File|New" menu, and if the currently open site does not contain a DWT file (as it would not for the OP, who has presumably not yet created a site from a template), there is nothing to select from.

There is only one way to "Open one of the website templates that comes with EW..." if you have not already created a site from one of the templates, and that is to follow the procedure that I outlined in my post.

cheers,
scott
