Publishing Files to a Web version of our product

If I generate/publish my project to the location where the Help files, for our web application, are residing, are they updated in the application? Forgive me if the question is ridiculous in its ignorance, I'm terribly new to all of this.

Hi Renee

Indeed they are! Well, sort of.

Think about how it works. Your application is in one location. Your help is separate and in another. The application simply links to the help. So if you update what is being linked to, the updated stuff is what displays. (I'm assuming WebHelp here) It's just like making a change to a web page. Normally, after you make the change, the next click to display the page presents the new information.

Cheers... Rick

Partly yes Rick although a willingness to offer people lots of money but not have any actual money to lend is also an issue. What a great business model that is! One bank nationalised, several taken over, others in trouble. It's lots of fun here too. Peter and I will toast you when we meet up next.

If you set the "Republish All" option in the final page of your single source layout wizard, all the project files are copied to the published destination. If this is unselected only files with a newer date than the ones already there are published.

Hi all

I noticed Colum is referring to File date/time stamps and Renee is referring to Folder date/time stamps.

Renee, if you are publishing, as Colum suggests, the File date/time stamps should be updated. But the Folders, I'm rather doubtful about. I may be mistaken here, but I believe that the Folders only reflect the last time a change occurred that modified the Folder name. Perhaps renaming it or whatever.

As long as you are seeing what you expect in the resulting help, I don't think I'd sweat the folder properties.

Cheers... Rick

I suppose that'll work. From what I can tell everything is as it should be so I'll just quit sweating the small stuff.

I am still a little confused as to why the netwrok folders do not indicate the recent modification dates. The network folders indicate a modification date of 09/23/2008 @ 05:03 PM. Why, when I generated last night, didn't the modification date for the folders change? If I open the folder some of the items in the folder have the newer date. Am I an ID 10 T or what?
