Viewing Pages names and Navigation
Pages names and Navigation

One of the many reasons I never used the iWeb default menu was the fact that the page names in the menu were the same as the actual html file names. This unfortunately appears to be the case in EasyWeb too. For example, I would name a page "audio-player" so that the page URL had no spaces and would be like "audio-player.html". This doesn't look so good in the navigation and it would be useful if we could enter a different name in the page inspector like "Audio Player" without the hyphen. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

EasyWeb will actually auto convert spaces to hyphens for you so you don't need to use the hyphens in page names. You can also select your navigation menu and go to the Format menu -> Capitalize and this will make sure your page names look better in the navbar. I do agree we need a "display name" for pages and will work on this for a future version. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

I'm so used to doing all this myself its kind of weird having it done for me. Maybe I have to stop thinking so much?

Haha.. we're trying to make everything more efficient in EasyWeb than it was in iWeb.

This one really caught me out and I'm going to have to dumb down my thinking here. I create a test site for trying an easy way of using hosted fonts - which works very well thank you very much. I uploaded to the server so that I could test the page on another computer that didn't have font installed. Of course I didn't have a navigation menu so I entered the appropriate page name in the URL and got a 404. I had entered the page name as seen in EasyWeb - "Fonts" - but EW cleverly converted it to "fonts". After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that I have to change - and not EW - since it was obvious from iWeb that a lot of users didn't have a clue about creating page and other file names. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Yes, one of the things I really disliked about iWeb was that it created some really strange file names (spaces, special characters etc...). With EasyWeb things are much cleaner and better in the log run.

They never really fixed the built in FTP because it would refuse to upload files with special characters in them - not that they should have been there in the first place.

I see that this is an old post, but I do have one other issue. When I name a Page I would like to decide what letters are caps. Also maybe a universal change to the navigation menu instead of page by page. I gave my navigation menu a grey look with no underlines but on new pages it goes back to the default. I also cannot capitalize 3 letters of a page name for the nav menu and leave the rest small. Over all though I am quite pleased. I just downloaded it yesterday and it looks very nice. |

Quote: When I name a Page I would like to decide what letters are caps I'm not sure what you mean because you can do this. Just enter the exact page name you want. Note that file names will be exported in lowercase but the display name in the navigation menu will appear exactly as you type it. Unless you went to Format->Text Transformations and changed it. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

| I didn't change anything at first. When I create a new page, the nav menu is blue, underlined, and all caps. So I looked around to see how to change the look. I was able to change the color, eliminate the underline and can even choose UPPER CASE, lower case, or Capitalize. But if I want a page called "WFG pens" in my left window it says WFG pens, BUT in my navigation menu it reads WFG PENS, or wfg pens, or Wfg Pens. It is a small issue at best but when I want specific letters in Caps that would be nice. | |
