Images AGAIN

[charlotte]

Ok. I was using Vdeck, and had to switch to NVU, hoping it would be easier.

I have all my pics in a file on my desktop, along with a copy of my site. I uploaded everything into the public html at Ipower.

My pictures still will not show up when I publish. I checked just to make sure and all of them are in the public html images folder. They are all gif.

I have to be skipping a step somewhere, but I cant figure out what it is.

Thank you
Charlotte

Hi Charlotte,

You'll need to upload all your images to an image directory in vDeck. After you get into public_html, do you see an images directory (it will have a bluish square icon next to it)? If you don't see one, go down to the bottom where it says "Create a new directory" and create one. Label it images (or whatever you prefer). Now, click on your image directory, go down to the bottom and upload your images from there.

Your images directroy will sit in your public_html next to your index.html

Let me know if this helps.

Before I explain this. I have published a "temporary" site for the time being. "So that nobody can see the mess I have"


When I go into Vdeck, I have public-ftp and public html, and all my images in seperate folders.

When I click on public html, I have private, vti and cgi folders that I can not change. Under those I have more folders. Images, Img and all my images again in different folders.

When I click on Images, all my images are in there too!!!!!!!

Even though it looks to me like I have images all over the place, When I upload the site that I want to use, It shows NO images.

I know I am not doing SOMETHING right, but I dont know what.

All the images have gif behind them, so what have I done?

All your images should not be in separate folders. They sould all appear in your image directory in your public_html.

When I click on public_html, here is what I see:

name size actions
cgi-bin 755
images 755
SFI 755
additionalresources 35.0Kb 644
additionalresources.html 37.2Kb 644
backupindex 112.0Kb 644
goodindex 118.4Kb 644
index.html 117.9Kb 644
index2006 118.0Kb 644
privacy.html
and so forth.............

cgi-bin, images and SFI are all directories

When I click on the abovr images directory I see all my images:

120x600.gif 14.6Kb 644
120x600a.JPG 49.3Kb 644
120x60a.gif 6.9Kb 644
120x90a.gif 4.5Kb 644
125125.gif 11.1Kb 644
125x125_2.gif 11.6Kb 644
125x125a.gif 9.8Kb 644
171.jpg 27.0Kb 644
1aco002.gif
and so on.

I'm sorry, I can't think of any other way to explain it.

Thats Ok, I copied/pasted my "broken" website into NVU, fixed what was wrong, then copied/pasted it back to Vdeck. Then I published it from there.

When I published from NVU, it never would pull up the images. I didn't even change them, so I dont know what was wrong.

I am going to delete NVU from my computer, then download it again. Hopefully it will work next time!

Thank you.

Hi Charlotte,

does this mean you've managed to sort out the images, they are now showing?

I've got a feeling that NVU was doing some auto editing of your image links, or that it was uploading the image links with your C Drive link destination instead of the relative web location. Sorry, just read that back and it sounds really techie!!

In case you need a laymans term, it basically was trying to link to the images on your computer instead of the ones on your Ipower web host, and as internet users cannot access your home computer, the images would fail.

This is one theory anyway, but without seeing the faulty site I'm only guessing.

Regards,

Jim
