This just started and I have had this website for years with no problems. So, is Item2 the same as m2?
Hi Kittyhawk72,
In Freeway, items that are added to a master page get default IDs beginning with m (m1, m2, etc.), and any instances of those items normally retain the same ID (m1 etc.), while items that are added to an instance page get default IDs beginning with item (item1, item2 etc.). So item2 is probably not the same as m2.
As for the error message: I think that what you are seeing is a Publish Problems dialog. This may contain a message that says: “OVERFLOWED TEXT: The following items contain overflowed text which will not be published” followed by a list of items and the page that they occur on. If that’s what you’re referring to, then the first thing you should do is to check that you’re looking for the overflowed item on the correct page.
If you’re using Freeway 7, the overflowed item is most probably a graphic box that contains text. HTML text boxes do not normally overflow. It’s hard to make a table-positioned box overflow, and while CSS-positioned boxes (such as layers) can overflow, the text is still published - so you shouldn’t get this message.
“Overflowed text” is text that doesn’t fit within its container. Freeway indicates overflowed boxes by drawing a small box containing a cross in the bottom-right corner. One way to fix this problem is to select the box and choose Fit Box to Content from the Item menu.
