With FrontPage 2003, looking in site summary there are 301 "all files" and
the same 301 showing in unlinked files. This is not the case. While I have
not finished and finally checked all links, most are working.
The size of these 301 files is 2419 kb, with them being mentioned twice does
this mean my web page will be almost twice as big?
Is there somewhere that shows the true size of the web page?
With thanks,
Dave Isaacs.
 
The All files just lists the file sizes (not your web page download sizes)
- so an Html file can have a file size of 10 kb but if it uses 10 25 KB images its "web page" size is 260 KB
FP gives you an idea of your ~ web pages sizes in the Slow Pages report view

FP's unlinked files only means they are not on the nav view and linked from the home page in the nav view

All Files report shows the size of all the files in your Web Site
(excluding the _vti* files used by the extensions).
The Unlinked Files report shows all the files that cannot be reached
by following ordinary hyperlinks from your Home Page. Ordininary
hyperlinks do *not* include links formed by JavaScript, so if you have
JavaScript navigation then all (most) of your pages will appear in
this report (the home page should be an exception).
If you are correct in that every file is on the unlinked files report,
then you do not have a recognised home page - in the file list or
folder view this will be shown with a house icon.
Note other reports will also mention some or all of the files - the
reports are independent of each other and the file sizes and numbers
are not cumulative.
 
Thank you Ronx.

How do I recognise the house icon, and where should I look please.
This is complicated for a first time user!!
Dave Isaacs.
 
If you have a home page it will appear as a little house (a home...get it
:-) in:
Folder List
Navigation (here it will be a yellow rectangle with the house in the lower
left)
almost anywhere!

Note that the actual page name may be: index.html, index.htm, default.htm,
default.html, even servers will allow home.htm, home.html .... but whatever
it is if it is designated as your home page it will have the little house
icon.

What the page file name is will depend largely on what or how your server is
setup or what they require. "Generally"; linux/unix uses one of the index
names and windows servers use the default
 
Wow after two months it seems as if I don't have a home page. I cant find
any little houses anywhere, not even an outhouse :-}.
My current page name is index3.htm. Is having the 3 there the problem?
Can I post some of what I have, or all of my folder list, or something that
will tell you where I have gone wrong please.
Dave.
 
The home page must be named as required by your web host. Locally FP expect it to be index.htm,
default.htm.

Can I just rename it by removing the "3".

Yes, if your server wants to see index.htm as the home page. You should see
it recalculating hyperlinks when you rename it...if you don't do one
manually (Recalculate Hyperlinks).

If it doesn't automatically turn into a little house, right cllick on it and
Set as Home Page (or whatever the wording is).

Then re-Publish to your server.

You may have to manually delete index3.htm off the live server.
 
I have changed it to index.htm and the house icon is beside it, and it
recalculated the hyperlinks. Eureka!
However the only house icon in site is with index.htm. Is this OK. Did I
understand you to say the icon should be almost everywhere?
So that we are on the same wavelength, I have not yet attempted to publish
the web page. I am still building it. That could be my next problem.
Many thanks Rob.
Dave.
 
Yes you're ok.

What I meant was you should see the house icon anywhere the files are
listed in your web/site not just in Folder List.

You should be good to go!
