Forbidden Message

I can’t upload my website anymore.

I keep getting this message??? my URL is:

Is this a freeway bug?

Thanks,

Hi Alex

I dont think that this has anything to do with Freeway as I get the same error message when I use your link.

Can you get in to your web hosting control panel?

Is it possible that you or somebody else has been fiddling with the settings in there?

You may have to speak to your hosting provider.

You may have deleted your index.html or index.php file. That message means that the server can’t deliver an index of the folder. This is a good thing, because it means that any folder on your server can’t just be browsed by typing in its address.

Check to make sure that your main home page of your site has the filename index.html and upload again.

In rare cases the filename may have to end with .htm rather than
.html for the default index page. (And it could even need to be
“default.htm” or “home.htm” rather than “index.htm”, too.)

I thought this kind of nonsense was long dead, but I came across a
host that required this maybe a year ago.

Just in case.

Hello
I designed a gif animation in photoshop CS3, installed it into a graphic box and loaded it onto a temporary site online.

I’ve done this many times before. The animation is fine in itself and checks out in each test that I give it. However when installed into a graphic box in freeway 5.2 Pro, it gets cut into slices and displays very slowly and in a juxtaposed manner. Bits of one frame appear mixed with bits of another.

If I could, I would prefer to load the animation onto a folder outside of the Freeway resources folder so that it doesn’t get sliced up and tell the graphics box to load it when it displays. I don’t know how to do that. Or else load it into the graphics box from another server, if you get my meaning.

Is there a way of doing this?

I don’t know much about html.

In case I am not explaining myself well, you can see the effect here.

You can see the animation which has ‘not’ been edited by freeway here.

Loading a gif animation into a graphics box has always worked well, before 5.2, so I’m hoping that you can either show me what I’ve done wrong or suggest a solution.

Thanks to both, that fixed it.
Is there a way to change what appears at the top of the browser page to anything instead of index?

Thanks,

Alex N.

If you look carefully at the Page Inspector, you will see two text
fields near the top (when you are in the left-most tab of that
Inspector). Title (which is the one I suppose you edited) is the text
which will appear in the top of the browser’s title bar. File is the
actual filename that will be generated when you publish. Freeway
automagically makes the filename to match your title, unless you edit
the filename. Once you do that, the “magic” is gone, and the filename
will stick to whatever you enter there. So enter index.htm(l) in the
File field, and edit the Title to read whatever you like.

Hi Tom

Bear in mind that all graphics can be imported into Freeway as a pass through image (check the box when selecting the image) and then FW will not work its magic on it.

This may be what you want to do in this instance though I am not getting any of the visual problems that you are experiencing when viewing with FF 3 or Safari

Also bear in mind that gif is not the ideal format for these sorts of images and you can get the same effect using FW’s own actions ie Target Show/Hide

Did you try importing it as a “Pass-Through” so Freeway doesn’t re-output the file but rather uses the original?

I’d first like to echo Dave’s comment that this isn’t ideal content
for the GIF format. For a cross-fading photo slideshow effect I think
you’d actually be better off using Flash!

Regarding the thing being sliced up, this can only happen if you have
HTML items sitting partly on top of the graphic, or at least on top
of the overall combined graphic area, OR if any overlapping graphic
element has been set not to combine.

What you could then also hit is cache reload ‘errors’, where the
browser loads caches versions of the animated GIF into different
slice parts in the layout, distorting and fragmenting the appearance
horribly. This is NOT what the page is really like, it is just
produced by your browser being lazy about fetching the real graphic
elements when it thinks it has seen them already and doesn’t need to
reload them from scratch.

Your page seems to be behaving itself, which seems to indicate that
it was a cache problem you were seeing.

If you really don’t want Freeway to touch your animated GIF in any
way other than to include it in your page layout, just click the
Passthrough checkbox when you use the Import dialog. This tells
Freeway to ‘pass the image straight through’ without attempting to
optimise or modify it in any way. I generally don’t use this option,
as it blocks everything from cropping to merging with other graphic
elements - but it does have its place.

If you import an animated GIF in the normal way, you can have other
graphics combine with it in the output, just as normal non-animated
graphics can combine in the output.
What happens when an animated GIF is in the mix is rather clever:
every frame is remade, using the animated GIF file’s settings but
combining the additional graphic elements into each frame. Clever,
huh? And very handy if you want to do things such as add title
content, logos (including translucent and cut-out graphics) or other
items to the animated GIF content itself.

Hello Delta Dave and Dan J
Thanks for your feedback. I discovered the cause. There was a graphic which I had positioned behind the animation (a frame) which was interfering with the act of reloading it.

I hate to admit that I read the manual the first time I bought Freeway (version 3) and haven’t since. It seems to be a completely different animal now. Presumably there is a manual with the download which I can get into an learn about Layers and pass throughs.

Best
Tom
