There are 10 pages in http://www.knoblimo.com/. 5 English and 5 Hungarian. I provided the web properties of the Hungarian flags with the name of the corresponding Hungarian page. But these links doesn't work. :-O You can find them on the address http://www.knoblimo.com/magyar.htm. How could I fix the web properties? (I still use XWD6)
The Hungarian flag button is linked to http://www.knoblimo.com and not to http://www.knoblimo.com/magyar.htm.
Every flags are linked to the right Hngarian page in XWD, they are saved and published as as you see in the attachments. If I click on the flag in preview, I get icons and maps as if would browse after a file.
...but they are not working on the site.
The safest thing to do it to delete all content in the site folders and republish.
If you do not use an FTP program (e.g., Filezilla), use Utilities > Web Properties... > Publish > Publish to... > Settings... and click the Explore web space button and delete content from there.

Thank you, I use Filezilla and I deleted all content many-many times. I have not Explore web space in my Utilities, but however, I use Filezilla, I deleted and published again and again.
Hymer,
You need to have the UK & Hungarian flags point to their equivilant page in the other language on all pages:
Currently the UK flag isn't linked to anything and the Hungarian flag is linked to the English index.htm on all pages ;)
Your screen-grab does show that you are using the correct form of linking, so I have two questions:
1: Do these links work using the Preview Website button?
2: Are you Exporting your website each time you're making changes to it?
Egg, don't you mean Publishing in (2)?Quote:

Egg, it was not stating you then needed to publish. If that step is omitted no amount of exporting gets to the final site.
In this case, it would be a local export than a FileZilla upload for the publish step.
Hymar, you need to upload your design file here and I am sure a TGer will make the necessary changes across all ten pages for it to work.
Good luck,
Acorn
Sorry Acorn, wasn't being obstructionable.
Really there's three steps to do after you've amended your xar/web file:
1: Save the xar/web file
2: Export (re-export) the Web Document
3: Publish the website.
In other words, if you don't re-export the web document after amendments you're just going to keep re-publishing the old site. Is that clearer?
So yes you were correct but step 2 needs to be done and I missed out step 3 ;)
When I click on the flag in Preview, I get this:Attachment 102665
In Filezilla I see that I have duplicates of the English htm-files inside index_htm_files.
Maybe I did not sent the web-file. Here it is.
Hi Hymer,
The attached web file has no content ;)
I don't know exactly how your server is set up but I think you may be publishing the site to the wrong folder.
I can't tell you which one it should be, but I expect it should be the folder "web" however please ask your Web Hosting company first.
It is in sub-folder, because I try to save money and have several homepages on the same server. This is a sub-domain, but it have worked antill now, untill my friend asked an updating. However, it is no problem with the folder. Sorry about the empty file, now this is better.
The reason your language buttons aren't working is the mouse-off layers have links to "../" whilst the mouse-over layers have the correct links.
In the index page:
1: You need to remove the current links from the mouse-off & mouse-over Hungarian flag images.
2: drag select over both images on both layers.
3: Apply a Soft-Group.
4: Apply the link to the correct page.
Repeat this for the mouse-off & mouse-over British flag images.
As for the sub folder, I still think it's in the wrong place. Can you send a screen-grab of the web folder?
Good call Egg,
Acorn
Thank you, Egg! Now the links are working, but the whole site is messed up somehow. :eek: I shall try to repair it tomorrow.
The web-folder is contenting a WordPress-site, it is not ready yet. But they worked very well beside each other untill now.
Cheers Acorn.
Hymer, still don't understand your server file structure but never mind ;)
Yes, I notice that there are several things that also needed sorting and for some reasons have become "broken".
The one that puzzles me the most is your background image that is missing on some pages but the most puzzling aspect is on the pages that it's present it cant be selected.
Here's what happens if I transfer it to a page with a single layer, just containing it and nothing else. I can't click select it nor can I select it by doing a CTRL+A (select all)
I've attached it. Does anyone else see the odd behaviour with this xar?
Thank you, now it works. I have a simple problem left. I should like to put a white rectangle as background for the prices as you see behind the Mercedes 212 on http://www.knoblimo.com/prices.htm. I tried to make the same for Viano and on the Hungarian "dijszabas" page, but the rectangle disappears. I tried everything, to bring it to front or make group or soft group with the text and change layer. The rectangles don"t appear :-O. What can I do?
Seems fine when I preview the site Hymer, all the prices have white backgrounds. Your background image jumps around the page a lot, I think it would be far better off in the same position on every page. You also have a placeholder on the Hungarian contact page which applies a 10 pixel margin to the top of the page. You should have this on all pages or non.
Thank you Egg, there are a lot of layout and colour problems on this site, but I should like to see the links work first. Now there is a new problem. I've sent a ticket about this to Xara support, but it take a long time to get an answer and this is very unconvenient now. The links doesn't work and I cannot send a web-file either, because I get an error message. When I try to export the website, I get error message 4afa68cc-ab43-4d68-a89c-5bc36f8aee02
When I try to publish it: 554610ee-8f84-4781-918c-4e93953e34b9
It is impossible to attach, I get another error message: de38920f-52b1-4ed8-8fa8-4e1c64dcbedc
I've sent a lot of error messages, I wonder, what happens with them.
Hello again Hymer. Is this on the same website, knob services?
Yes the same, knoblimo.com. I moved it to another server, but it was no problem with that.
The Hungarian flag on the index page was linked to jarmuvek (vehicles) When I changed it to "magyar", I got Access violation"
And where are my galleries? :-O When I click on the menu in XWD, nothing happens. It is not possible to save the file either.
Hymer,
Best thing you can do is uninstall WD and reinstall and hopefully this will solve all your problems. It doesn't take a long time either. Make sure you have your registration number. If you haven't you can get it by logging onto xara.com & go to my purchases to retrieve it.
Yes, thank you, Egg:The problem is solved.:) Now I can concetrate the layout and the colours.
