How to upload my ready menu on free web providers?

Postby vipkns » Sat Mar 22, 2008 12:10 pm

Hello, I have a site in Piczo (www.piczo.com) and it dosn't allow me to edit the HTML code directly... So, when I add the HTML code, generated by the program, and upload the buttons given on the same page, the menu does appear WITHOUT the buttons. I added the adress of the pictures
||| <td style="padding-right:2px" title=""><a><img id="cbi_cbinsmenu_1" src="HERE" name="ebbcbinsmenu_1" width="190" height="27" border="0" alt="Software" title="" /></a></td> |||
The button appears then but the submenu isn't there and the mouse-over and push functions are also unactive. I have uploaded all the buttons but I don't know where in the code to add their adress. Please help me!

First, I don't know anything about Piczo.

But, from what I can tell all the images should be in their own directory/folder called "images". If you can create a directory called "images" and put your image buttons there it should work. Keep in mind there are 2 other things located in that directory, cbcscbinsmenu.css and cbcscbinsmenu.js, so they will need to be in that directory too.

If you can't create a directory, but can upload files to the your site, it looks like you can modify the HTML that is generated for the menu. Just put it in notepad and do a search for "images" (search without the quotes). You should see something like this in several different places (there are more than I have listed here, this is just an example):

href="images/cbcscbinsmenu.css"
src="images/ebbtcbinsmenu1_0.png"
src="images/cbjscbinsmenu.js"


It looks like you should be able to remove images/ from the generated menu html, which would leave you src="cbjscbinsmenu.js"> . After you remove those, that's the html you'll want to give Piczo (and don't forgot to upload all your files).

And again I could be wrong, I don't actually own this piece of software yet, I've just been trying it out for a few hours.

It doesn't work... I think that the problem is that the pictures I have uploaded aren't linked to the menu HTML. They upload to a server and just appear on my site. I know their URL and I have already tried to replace it in the HTML code given by the programm. It works, but only for the buttons. I don'know where to replace the URLs of the mouse-on and push buttons, so they simply don't work now.

An other problem is that I cannot upload the other two files, generated by the programm... I can copy their text and add it as an HTML, but I can't upload them like whole files or add them to the HTML code of the site.

You need to upload ALL files generated, otherwise it won' t work. Does Pizco provide FTP access or some kind of file manager for the site?

Can I upload the other files somewhere else and link the menu to them?

In current version the files need to be located either in the same folder as the page or in a subfolder relative to the page.
If you can host the other files elsewhere, why not just host the whole menu there?
