ok, here's one....

I have am copying a part of a website off the web (and yes- it's ok that I
am doing it but only if I do it without their help- weird huh?)

Anyway, it's the catalog area of the website that is in PHP.

it won't open in FP.. it copied (using the import WEb wizard) but it won't
open right at all!

it's a big catalog with many pages... why isn't it working and how do I MAKE
IT WORK?


TIA!

I wish it were that easy for me. I am lost now. I thought I was before.. but
now I am so far lost I fear I will never get this right.

I tried to convert the text html code from the only PHP page that came
through of the catalog.... and it came up ok, all background and images are
NOT THERE... and then I pasted it into a blank HTML page and saved it as an
html page.

that kind of worked.. but I am guessing I will have to go and retrieve each
image and save it and put it in to the page to this page right.

after this one page.... which will take a while... I guess the only thing I
can do is copy each page FROM THE WEB instead of importing it.. since it
only pulled ONE of all the php pages...

I am afraid this could take forever since there are SOOO many pages in this
catalog.

I am so lost.

sorry

The easiest way to do this is to open each page in IE, then Save As |
Complete HTML. This will create the page and a folder on your HD, then you
will have to import the page and folder into your current open FP web. I
would suggest at that point you create a new page an then copy the content
in Normal View to the new page.

However it sound like you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Maybe you can work out an agreement with the site, where you can link to
their catalog, this way it will always be updated.

1) If the site has the FP SE just open it online in FP and publish ALL to local
File Open Web http://www.yourdomain.com/ and log in, then File Publish to say C:\MyWeb
2) If it does not have the FP SE, use a 3rd party FTP program to "download" it to a folder (say C:\MyWeb) and then Open that folder
as a FP disc based web site File Open Web C:\MyWeb

Before you do anything w/ the site in FP, set FP as the editor for .php pages or get the PHP addins at

Ok, to reply to EVERYONE who is helping me so far...

what I have done so far is change the editor setting for PHP and I tried to
Publish it to FP but it isn't working well

I did get the entire FIRST PAGE of this catalog, but alas, it will not give
me any other pages.

and the AUTO thumbnails will not lead me to the main JPG .... they are not
downlaoding to my FP.

I tried to use the links on the first PHP page that does download now and it
just hangs and nothing happens.

when I do the online GRABBING of the page via IE I STILL am not getting
anything BUT the thumbnails and not the main BIG picture they are connected
to.

*I can't use the main catalog by linking to the website because they have it
set up so that I will not get the sale. it will NOT record it as mine and
they do not TRACK. so that's not an option... well, it is, but it would not
be a profitable option for me.

Frustrated & confused on every level,
:) Kimi

"download" it to a folder (say C:\MyWeb) and then Open that folder
 
if you can run asp pages reply directly to me from this email.
I've got what you need.
 
However even if she get her own shopping cart, she will have to browse the
site and then save each thumbnail image, and then click each thumbnail image
to view the large image and then save.
