Okay trying to do photo wall but i keep getting the error the destination path has to be in current site. i have it under were my site is on my computer. if i go into dreamweaver and manage site i am at users/chris/documents/ourkids. so i choose a folder in that directory and i still get the error message. were does it need to be?
thanks
chris

Hi Chris,
I guess you are doing this on a website so the path has to be on the server, when the site is working it will have no access to your local computer, so first you will need to get all the images up onto the server, then you will be able to access them, the path will probably look something like . . .

/images/feb_2008/vacation

There are two ways of doing the paths - as above, which is absolute, the first / means it's from the top level of your site, that IMHO is a good way to do it, because it always works even if you move the file. The other way is relative, which means you start from where the current file is then go up, then down the directories, you end up with paths that looks like this . . .

../../images/feb_2008/vacation

in some cases you just have to use relative paths because of server restrictions

Hope that helps

Well thank you for trying but i am totaly lost. i am working in dreamweaver cs4. i have managed my site and have the root folder on my desktop. i got it to work once but when i go to preview the page all it shows is html code. i don't get the photo wall. then when i try to do another one i get the same error not in the site root. i am on a macbook pro and in local view in dreamweaver. i am not working on the sever just the laptop then upload to the server.

thanks

OKay i think i got dreamweaver to work on the site via ftp. but how do i choose the path in 3d photo wall. i don't see where i can choose the ftp path from any menu.
thanks

Hi Chris,

You will have to set up the ftp details in the site definition, there are two ways, the basic and advanced tabs. Try both to see which you like best.

You will need to put in your server details including username and password, then set up the path to where you want the files to go. That really depends on who is your hosting provider. There is usually a folder on the server called public_html and that's where you put all the files that make up your site. There is almost always an alias www that points to public_html, so in the first instance leave the host directory blank and use the test button to see if you can connect. If you can, have a look at the directories on the host and then if you see www, put /www/ into the host directory box and try that.

Hope that is on the right track
