capt, you can always Export locally and then ftp using Filezilla or whatever ftp program you are using.
Yes, I would recommend you splitting the site.
If you make a natural break in your site the first half can be published where the first page has name index (normal Xara approach).
The second half, you must ensure the starting page name is not index (anything will do).
Both files can be published to the same area and you will have folders called index_htm_files and <name>_htm_files.
What you then have to do is:if you were to follow this to the extreme of having 140 sub-sites as single web pages, the republishing of content (not navigation) would be down to a single page being altered.
- Ensure no two pages in both sections have the same name.
- A Repeating object in the first half is copied to the exact same place in the second half and repeated there.
- All navigation links, bars and Next & Prev buttons have to address the transition across two sub-sites; you would use Link to Web address with the <page name>.htm (the extension is essential).
- A navigation bar has to be created and copied to both (a restatement of Rules 2 & 3).
- If an image is used in both halves and is 'guaranteed' to have the same dimensions then give it a filename so the same published asset can be reused.
The downside is if your design is fluid, you have 140 publishes to perform.
Rule 5 is actually problematic if you have a Navigation bar and you have not given each button on and button off a filename, then the graphics will be separately uploaded for each sub-site, giving a situation almost like a visitor not having any site caching.
