Thanks again. You are correct, as usual !

deejayw

You can use the 'link to a file' option for this.

Thanks Pablo.
I created a table. With the text in one cell, I created a link to a file already uploaded at http://domain/filename using External Web Address and the URL. Unfortunately, the file (an mp4 ...

deejayw

If I want a reader of my page to be able to download a file, from a menu perhaps, for saving locally (rather than opening), what might be the best way ?
Sorry if the answer is obvious to others !

deejayw

Thanks all for your informative replies. In the main, I have confirmed the observation that playback is browser dependant. Despite Firefox being more sensitive than Edge, Chrome and Safari, I eventually found that there was something wrong with my mp4 ! Having fixed that, all is now well

deejayw

Ooops 800M to 1G

deejayw

I would say that my files will be 800k to 1G each.

deejayw

Thanks for the replies. I've been experimenting. Chrome and Edge play the video in synch. Firefox (my default browser) on Windows/Android does not.
So, how do I cater for 'clients' with a variety of browsers ? Is there a more portable or more suitable format than mp4 ?

deejayw

It is related because the built-in tools cause the loss of synch. When the same file is played externally (not thru' WYSIWYG) or via a URL, lip synch is maintained.

deejayw

I wish to present a small list of video clips. Using the built-in tools that use a file reference to an mp4, I find that, in preview or live, there is a significant timing mismatch between video and associated audio. In contrast, when using a URL to a third party file store, the lip synch is good ...

deejayw

Pablo, profound apologies !!
The bottom line is that I -----d up. The hosting file manager did not make it obvious enough to me that my counter text file was only owner read/write.
I thought that I had copied a working file with working permissions but apparently not. I needed sftp to chmod my ...

deejayw

Pablo. Sorry I had not realised that the counter was still there. musiclist.txt did not exist but it does now and is writable, however, it made no difference.
I have asked the hosting service to activate php/error logging, which will take an hour ? to function. Now awaiting results. No need to ...

Within the builder for my published site ..
I have cloned the repsched page (php) and called the new page repsched-h. In properties I've set its file ext to html.
I published both pages seperately. I've not done a full site publish for some time.
genpurp.uk/repsched-h.html shows a pinkish page with ...

Sorry to be taking so much of your valuable time Pablo.
The project I sent you is not published. The pages are hopefuly representative of my published site.

the published page repsched.php is supposed to contain the same image but it is ...

It looks like there is a mistake in the configuration which causes PHP to fail.
Are there any errors in the PHP error log (on the server)?
What exactly is on the page?
I don't know where to look for the server's php error log.
The page has a coloured backround and has a photo image inserted. It ...

I edited the page properties (.html) and emptied the page, bar for a new image. The page with an html property displayed as it should. When edited back to .php it was blank, ie no image.

deejayw

yes, I publish to the same location
yes I use the same name (initially)
How do you set the built-in FTP publishing log level ?
my local page has some text in it that does not appear in the published page
I will update my version.

now on 18.4.2

deejayw

I added some new text to a largely textual page that has not previously exhibited any problems. Preview shows the mods but publish seems to have little effect on the subsequently browsed page. Lots of experiments later, with frequent flush of cache, I am no further along diagnosing the problem.
It ...

deejayw

Thanks but that saves the "project". I want to save just one page.

deejayw

Sorry, probably a stupid question. I've read loads about templates but I can't find how to to 'save page as a template'.
How is it done ?
TKS

deejayw

I strongly suspected that my version was out of support, that is why I posted my question on the forum rather than support. I certainly did not expect a response from the head man ! Thanks Pablo. I found the option you referred to.

v15.4.5 (32 bit)
I have a page with a menu populated with links to local media files. Whilst the page may be modified frequently, the bulk of the media files remain unchanged. When I publish the selected page, all the media files are also re-published , even when ' Publish files of modified objects ...

deejayw

Absolutely brilliant Pablo. That appears to have fixed it

deejayw

If I did something, I don't know what it was.
I went to edit a page (that was OK when last I looked months ago) by amending a paragraph in a large test box. Within WYSIWYG all appeared as it should but when uploaded, some of the text was out of position and in some cases overlaying other text. I ...

I'm using the PHP/MySQL versions of WYSIWYG page login/admin management with v14.3.2. My hosting service is pressuring me to upgrade my PHP support from 7.0 to 7.3. Will 14.3.2 and/or 15 support 7.3 without scripting changes ?

Thanks

For the information of other readers ...
I copied the project file to the resource file and opened it from there. As you might expect, the project opened without knowing where to find its resources, it was looking for the eponymously named folder below. I used the the Tools | Asset Manager to Update ...

deejayw

OK Pablo. Sorry to take up so much of your time. Yes, I'll do that. I had thought that the project file had to reside in the WWB folder above the resource folder. There's always something new to learn!

deejayw

If I sync the WWB folder, I would also sync all the other cr-p in there too.
I can certainly sync the whole project in one hit if the project .wbs file was in the resource folder, but how does it get there. At the moment, I am doing as you suggest - manually copying the file. I would prefer it to be ...

Pablo: Shall we go back to my original post in this thread?
I normally edit using my desktop PC. So that I can easily continue to support a web site whilst away from home with my laptop, (or someone else can if I go under a bus) I've spent some time looking at programs that automatically sync ...

deejayw

Pablo: I have that option set already. The active project file (projectx.wbs) remains in the folder above (WYSIWYG Web Builder) however.

deejayw

I wonder if it might be possible to include a WYSIWYG-WB program shutdown option to copy the .wbs project file to its resource sub-folder so that one of the many inter-platform folder sync programs can synchronize all the files needed by a project in one simple job?

deejayw

All now working on my laptop thanks, and thanks for the additional info.

A disk crash yesterday has robbed me of my working environment on my desktop PC, probably running 14.3.1.
Using my on-line vault service, I have restored copies of the wbs file (from the backups folder) and resource folder to my laptop. Unfortunately the laptops 14.3.2 reports that the installation ...

So, considering ...
