editing htm files

Hi Steve

Could you remind me please? I want to move the links from the bottom of the pages to the top, which I can do in Dreamweaver and re-upload the relevant pages in SmartFTP

Do I edit the index.htm, gauges.htm etc or the IndexT.htm, GaugesT.htm etc?

I tried it earlier and it seemed to work and then reverted a few minutes later. I want to make mine look a little more noticeable instead of being at the bottom. (not a complaint.... just personal preference)

Many thanks

You edit the 'template' files - the ones with a 'T' in.

Many thanks Steve. Yes, the T is obvious now I know. d'oh

hmmm... I thought I was out of the woods, but all is working okay on my new server, but the index page is stuck on 8th MAy. Any idea what I have done? (apart from change the position of the links)?

How have you made the changes? By editing the files in the web folder and letting Cumulus process them as if they were the originals? Does your indexT.htm file look like a template still, rather than a complete web page?

Yuk...It looks like a complete page. I have messed this up somehow, and don't seem to have a back up copy of the template. No idea how or why apart from sheer incompetence. I thought I had edited the indexT.htm, putting the links at the top, then saved it and uploaded to my website, but clearly I messed it up somewhere.

I have tried to attach it here so you can see, but it rejects the file as a possible attack file lol.

Can I (should I) replace it with the one in the \originals folder? (and forget trying to put the links at the top?)?

I can't think of anywhere else that you would get a working template from.

That's up to you; you could (re-)edit the original.

Regarding attaching files, it's always best to zip them first.

Okay, thanks... have for now reloaded that original. I will sort the other stuff out next week.

I see a link now for 'This Year' and 'This Month' on the home page and the gauges page. Should I have upgraded to the latest cut of Cumulus for this? The link doesn't do anything. Thanks

If the version of Cumulus that you're running came with the template with the links in, then it would also have come with the templates for those pages, and the ability to create pages from those templates. I suspect that you chose not to install the templates and hence they're not in the web folder. But yes, you should probably at least install the latest build of 1.9.2 to get all of the bug fixes since the build that you're using.
