Managing the Hyperlinks

Good Day,

I support an online user manual in several languages. There are hyperlinks
in the documents aplenty. One can manage these links in Dreamweaver to make
sure that they are still valid and point to the right location, without of
course clicking on each and single one of them!
Question:
Is it possible to do the same in Frontpage?
I imagine some kind of database where the links and their targets are stored
and verified.
If not, what else would you recommend?
I’ve seen a similar application but as part of a larger Content Management
System; or using php scripts.

Many Thanks.
Saeed
 
View->Reports->Problems->Hyperlinks
will list all hyperlinks that are either broken or external (external = root
relative, absolute (http://example.com/pagename.htm), or a link to a file in
a different subweb)
The external links can be verified, though any reported as broken should be
tested manually.

You are only opening the page and not the site in FrontPage
- if it is a site with the FP Server Extensions use File Open Site, not File Open page

Hello Ron,

Thanks and Happy New Year!

I did try that, but it doesn't seem to work.
All I get is a blank page with a message:
"if you have opened a Web, this view will show the status of its files and
hyperlinks" (rough translation from German; I'm using the German version of
FP 2002 SP3). The Web page is open; I even did a "select all", to no avail.
None of the menu items under "Problems" seem to be active.

What am I doing wrong?
 
Good Day Stefan,

Thanks fort he quick reply.

Let me see if I understood you correctly:
"Page" means a single htm file, and "site" refers to the whole batch, that
is all related single pages. Is that correct?

How can I find out whether or not FP Server Extensions have been installed?
(I can't invoke the control panel).
Can I still use this feature, if the site were not done with FP SE?
(How) Can the page be bundled together to build a "site"?

I tried it and it did work! Thanks.
However, the number of reported broken links is enormous! Over 400! I can
understand some of the error messages; but some of them are a bit hazy:
It keeps referring to a hyperlink "…/none" in almost all files being either
broken or unknown.
What is it complaining about?

If one of the pages is on the internet, could you give a link to it?

I have never seen that particular link (".../none") before - but "../null"
is a variation of an error I see in 404 error reports.

As for other broken links - repairing one using that report can often repair
several at the same time - double click on the "broken" status and browse to
the correct page.

The pages are on our intranet; so I can't put a link to it. However, I wonder:
Could it be that FP cannot resolve JS commands?
The hyperlinks are concocted as:
<a onclick="OpenWindow3('the page.html');" href="javascript:void(0);"> text
</a>
"OpenWindow3" is a JS script.
I tried replacing them with normal anchors, but things got out of hand and I
had to first clean up the mess!
What do you think?

As Tom said, if you use Javascript for links you are on your own - FrontPage
cannot resolve or follow any JavaScript. The same applies to links using
any form of scripting - vbScript, Javascript, PHP etc.

Good Day Stefan,

Thanks fort he quick reply.

Let me see if I understood you correctly:
"Page" means a single htm file, and "site" refers to the whole
batch,
that
is all related single pages. Is that correct?

How can I find out whether or not FP Server Extensions have been
installed?
(I can't invoke the control panel).
Can I still use this feature, if the site were not done with FP SE?
(How) Can the page be bundled together to build a "site"?


:

You are only opening the page and not the site in FrontPage
- if it is a site with the FP Server Extensions use File Open Site,
not
File Open page

Hello Ron,

Thanks and Happy New Year!

I did try that, but it doesn't seem to work.
All I get is a blank page with a message:
"if you have opened a Web, this view will show the status of its
files
and
hyperlinks" (rough translation from German; I'm using the German
version
of
FP 2002 SP3). The Web page is open; I even did a "select all", to
no
avail.
None of the menu items under "Problems" seem to be active.

What am I doing wrong?

:

View->Reports->Problems->Hyperlinks
will list all hyperlinks that are either broken or external
(external =
root
relative, absolute (http://example.com/pagename.htm), or a link
to a
file in
a different subweb)
The external links can be verified, though any reported as broken
should be
tested manually.

Good Day,

I support an online user manual in several languages. There are
hyperlinks
in the documents aplenty. One can manage these links in
Dreamweaver
to
make
sure that they are still valid and point to the right location,
without of
course clicking on each and single one of them!
Question:
Is it possible to do the same in Frontpage?
I imagine some kind of database where the links and their
targets
are
stored
and verified.
If not, what else would you recommend?
I’ve seen a similar application but as part of a larger
Content
Management
System; or using php scripts.

Many Thanks.
Saeed

Maybe you need to Edit to JS in a JS EDITOR
Here a good FreeWare one For You!
http://www.tucows.com/preview/604100?q=editor
If you get it and start it up Click on tools Chick on Tools List
and add FrontPage to External tools!

The pages are on our intranet; so I can't put a link to it. However, I
wonder:
Could it be that FP cannot resolve JS commands?
The hyperlinks are concocted as:
<a onclick="OpenWindow3('the page.html');" href="javascript:void(0);">
text
</a>
"OpenWindow3" is a JS script.
I tried replacing them with normal anchors, but things got out of hand and
I
had to first clean up the mess!
What do you think?

If one of the pages is on the internet, could you give a link to it?

I have never seen that particular link (".../none") before - but
"../null"
is a variation of an error I see in 404 error reports.

As for other broken links - repairing one using that report can often
repair
several at the same time - double click on the "broken" status and browse
to
the correct page.

I tried it and it did work! Thanks.
However, the number of reported broken links is enormous! Over 400! I
can
understand some of the error messages; but some of them are a bit hazy:
It keeps referring to a hyperlink "…/none" in almost all files being
either
broken or unknown.
What is it complaining about?

:

If the pages are on your PC, then
File->Open Site
Browse to the folder containing the files and folders in your site
Click Open.

If this folder is not already a FrontPage website, FrontPage will
offer
to
add meta data files and folders - agree. These meta data files are
roughly
equivalent to notes files in Dreamweaver.

If the site is on the Internet, you cannot open it in FrontPage unless
the
extensions are installed and running. use an FTP client (NOT
FrontPage)
to
download the complete site to a folder on your PC, and proceed as
above.

Good Day Stefan,

Thanks fort he quick reply.

Let me see if I understood you correctly:
"Page" means a single htm file, and "site" refers to the whole
batch,
that
is all related single pages. Is that correct?

How can I find out whether or not FP Server Extensions have been
installed?
(I can't invoke the control panel).
Can I still use this feature, if the site were not done with FP SE?
(How) Can the page be bundled together to build a "site"?


:

You are only opening the page and not the site in FrontPage
- if it is a site with the FP Server Extensions use File Open Site,
not
File Open page
