publishing changes



User: Rob W. 12 years ago
i guess it might just be the way it works but publishing changes doesn't seem to be that much faster (having a slow connection here at work certainly doesnt help), my website has around 40-50 pages with optimised jpegs and CSS styled master templates for faster loading, it took about an hour to publish the entire site earlier and since then i've added a bunch of other things. Checking on the progress for about the past 20 minutes it has so far only said file uploaded and hasnt got to the changes yet, does it have to check every single file each time just to figuratively say "yes, that file has already been uploaded"? thought it might be clever enough to just log the changes that have been made and mark them "new" or something so it doesnt have to check every file, kinda like it does within everweb when you make changes to a page the thumbnail changes to red.

For someone like me that has terrible upload speeds at work i have to plan when to click publish because it takes so long and i need to make sure its working as it should before i leave.

The problem is that if EverWeb doesn't check every files, and a user has deleted or modified files on their FTP server elsewhere, the site won't work right when it is published.

We may in the future have a new publish mode which only publish changed files in EverWeb, instead of making sure the entire site is published all the time.

We are always looking to improve the publish process and we are working to make it more efficient.

I understand the problem with users that use an FTP and maybe it will always have to be that way for them, but with us users that host with everweb we can't access those folders, perhaps have a different publishing function for users that host with everweb that logs any changes and ignores the untouched files, just like everweb appears to do when editing after publishing.

I have no idea as to whether that is possible or how hard it would be to do but i believe it would be a huge improvement that i expect many users would appreciate.

Yes, we can do this. These are good discussions because as I was writing this, that solution popped into my mind.

We still need to evaluate all features properly, but it sounds like something we can optimize further.

HELP!

This problem has been going on for a while and now I have exhausted the support dept. trying to find out why my “publish site changes” button randomly publishes the entire website with all the details on EVERY page taking over 2 hours for a even tiny change.


EXAMPLE:
http://civilwarheritagetrails.org/civil-war-music/battle-cry-of-freedom.html
I updated the band’s link at the top of the music page “Battle Cry of Freedom” and pressed “publish site changes.” It immediately turned all the pages pink and it took over 2 hours to publish. I want to be able to work with an idea and see what it looks like after it is published. Two hours to publish one link…. I can’t wait that long to see my work.

My EverWeb version is 1.4.0

There may be other threads on this forum with this same problem. If so please let me know.

Thank you.

Unfortunately I do not know why this would be happening for you at this time.

What I can tell you is that we are far along in implementing a new and intelligent publishing solutions and hope to have it released within 30 days. Please don't take this as a guarantee though because other issues can come up which may effect the release date.
