Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Images not displaying

    When I edit my .a5w pages, the images display as I planned.
    BUT when I publish the pages... only the placeholders are visible.

    I checked to see if the images are in the project wpimages folder as well as the A5Webroot\Project\wpimages folder...
    The images are in the folders.

    Below are two of the lines from the <body> section:

    <img style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 30px; LEFT: 898px" id=pcrv_1 onload=OnLoadPngFix() border=0 alt="" src="wpimages/wp2c646710_06.png" width=69 height=56 >
    <img style="POSITION: absolute; TOP: 14px; LEFT: 922px" id=pcrv_3 onload=OnLoadPngFix() border=0 alt="" src="wpimages/wp336dac1e_06.png" width=14 height=19 >

    wp2c646710_06.png and wpimages/wp336dac1e_06.png are in the wpimage folders.

    Why don't the images display when published and viewed in a browser?

    Re: Images not dsplaying

    Your images should be in A5webroot\wpimages because that is where you are referring to

      Re: Images not dsplaying

      Thanks Frank... but I am still doing something wrong.

      I created a path: c:\A5Webroot\RebusHealthQuestionnairePublishHere
      This is in the profile... the publishing process places all of the pages in this folder and places the images in the wpimages folder: c:\A5Webroot\RebusHealthQuestionnairePublishHere\wpimages

      I copied the files in the c:\A5Webroot\RebusHealthQuestionnairePublishHere\wpimages to the c:\A5Webroot\wpimages folder... no change: images are displayed in edit... not in browser after publishing.

      ????

        What is your webroot setting for the application server ? Your app should be in the webroot and the webroot should contain the wpimages folder

          Re: Images not displaying

          You're workig with multiple project folders ? From the help (wiki)

          You can put non-Ajax files and pages in a subfolder like "administration" such as html pages, images, PDF documents etc. In that case, you have to open page security and set security on the sub-folder or on the individual files, or set a file type as always allowed.

          So set pagesecurity & publish it

            Re: Images not displaying

            I have multiple projects that I publish to c:\a5webroot\ProjectA \ ProjectB \ProjectC etc.

            Since I am just starting with this project I have disabled security.

            The problem seems to be related to these multiple projects and the associated folders in a5webroot. The URL that is displayed is: http://canalt2:8080/RebusHealthQuest....a5w?163654075
            and canalt2 is a project that i worked on a couple of years ago... the profile and project settings seem correct and make no reference to canalt2...
            Is there a hidden config file?

              Re: Images not displaying

              canalt2 resolves to an ip address where an appserver is running on port 8080. Ping canalt2 to find out about the address. otherwise test with htt://the_ip_address_you're_sure_about/youra5wpagename

              There are no hidden config files. Difficult to say from a distance where your problem is. Seems like you have 2 different problems ?

                Re: Images not displaying

                Canalt2 is a server (also the profile name that I used) that I worked on a couple of years ago.
                I am working on a completely different computer on a different project... i did copy some files from the canalt2 project to serve as a basis for a new project.
                I am confused about why the a5 web app server is misinterpreting Localhost and using Canalt2. It must have something to do with the files that I coppied from the Canalt2 project... but I can't see anything in the profile, project or server config that is obvious.

                ???

                  Very confused...
                  If I publish using the default 'Local Webroot' and view the site in a browser all of the images show correctly... but when I edit the page and click on the 'lightning--> execute page' icon the browser doses not display the images.
                  If I Publish to a profile that I created (it specifies <default> as the target folder) the images do show when I edit -> execute page but do not show when I publish the project.

                  How do I resolve this??

                    Re: Images not displaying

                    When you execute a page then you do a livepreview, if you have no folder with your images in the webroot\LivePreview folder then it is perfectly normal that they do not show. Livepreview is a somewhat special case to preview/test a single page but if there's stuff on that page other than pure html/Xbasic then you have to provide it, copy over your images folder into the livepreview folder that is in your webroot.

                      Thanks Frank... that was indeed the problem!

                      I didn't know that the LivePreview folder required 'maintenance'... I thought that A5 looked after all that. I will try to remember... thanks for involving me!!!!

                        So to get this right, I have to copy every image in my website over to the live preview directory for this to prieview correctly - right?

                          Joe,

                          Yes, but you probably are better off to publish to localhost, that will publish everything to your local computer. Live preview is more for previewing a component you'r building I'd say. Once the picture gets more complete publish to localhost. Then a next step could be to publish to a staging server inhouse with the appserver installed on it as that will be completely "disconnected" from your development machine.
                          Frank

                            Hi Joe
                            Under 'normal' circumstances Alpha takes care of everything..
                            I am pretty sure that i experienced the problem because i was duplicating the entire application by copying files to different directories and even different computers.
                            I have created a number of apps and have not experienced this problem... Until i tried to duplicate and rename the app.
