Folks
I'm in the process of setting up a new ISP. I currently have my Bookpedia on .Mac but would like to move it to the new server. Is there a particular DB requirement at the server end? Do I need to set up a specific folder for Bookpedia before uploading it? Any other requirements or suggestion before making the move?
Thanks
Gary
move to isp other than .Mac
No requirements whatsoever. Export with your favorite template and then upload it to your website or export directly using the FTP function. What changes is depending on what location you upload the files to and what you call the folder the URL on your website will be different; but everything it needs is contained inside the export folder and referenced relatively so that as long as the folder contents stay together everything works.
Connor... thanks, that's excellent information. I prefer to keep the growing website all in one place as much as possible instead of splitting between different services and servers. Now if only BookPedia had a built in 'Back" button with a customizable URL so anyone checking out the book list could just skip back to the home site.

In the export window select your template and hit the edit button. It will create a copy template with "My" prefixed and show it to you in the Finder. Open that up with any text editor and drop in your link back to any part of your new website:
You don't have to to use a text editor HTML authoring tools will work such as Dreamweaver, RapidWeaver or Sandvox. You can create a whole navigation menu to include all links to different sections in your books sections.
Code: Select all
