Hello everyone,
could anyone advise me on how to change relative paths to absolute? I want to be able to place a page outside of the freeway created folder on the server. If I do this now, all the placed images disappear and all styling is removed. Is changing relative to absolute paths the way around this and would it fix the styling? Many thanks to all.

Are you trying to move a FW created page to a different location on the server using your FTP app?
The easiest way to do this may be to create a sub-folder in your FW document that corresponds to the folder/location on your server - then all paths will remain intact.
You could also create a standalone FW doc for this ‘page’ with the upload destination corresponding to it s proposed location on the server.
Can you explain a bit more what you are trying to achieve.

Hi Dave,
thanks for your reply. Part of the website I am creating will be membership based. The membership pages will be protected. I’m trying to customise the default login page which came with the DL Guard scripts to better match the look of the rest of the website, however I have to place this custom login page into the DL Guard folder.
The DL Guard folder resides inside of the Freeway created structure which I uploaded from within Freeway. To place the DL Guard folder I used an FTP program. The DL Guard manual warns about the relative paths for placing a custom made login page inside the DL Guard folder.
Does this make sense?

If you have created a DL Guard folder within your FW site structure then a page you create within that folder and uploaded by FW should not need to worry about the paths.
If the page was referencing files within the Guard Folder from outside it then you might have issues.

Thanks Dave,
it was the other way around, I needed to place a code snippet on a page created in FW and that page then needed to reside in the DL Guard folder structure. The DL Guard folder itself (manually installed via FTP) resides at the FW site structure root directory on the server.
I tried the separate FW document first with the single page in it uploaded via FW upload command to the specific place inside DL Guard folder structure. However, nothing was showing up when viewed the structure in an FTP software.
Then I decided I’ll try the second option and in the main FW document that has the whole website in it I created the folder structure to follow the real one on the site already. In that appropriate folder inside the FW document I placed just the one page. I was a bit worried FW might compare files and decides to wipe the factual DL Guard folder system from the site as the FW document had no other files in its own folder that the one single page.
But again, nothing happened. Then a few minutes later a whole buch of stuff appeared in the designated folder on the site. I think both ways worked, it just took the server some time to catch up. So I ended up with a separate css folder, Resources folder, pagebehaviour.htc and a couple of pages. I only edit and change the separate page created by the second option (a folder created to follow the real DL Guard folder structure naming inside the FW site structure) but everything seems to work. That page can probably access the css and resources folder placed on the server by the first option. I might try to remove one by one the extra stuff and see when it starts to break.
Thanks again

Have you tried the Remote Resources Action yet? That lets you alter the path to your images quite a lot, either by prepending an absolute URL, or by altering the relative path.
