Customizing Your Site’s Directory
Structure
Although NetObjects Fusion offers three preconfigured directory structures, you
might need to customize your site’s directory structure further. Customizing the
site’s directory structure is usually only necessary if your ISP or host server
requires a specific structure for websites. You can customize the site’s directory
structure in Publish view by renaming, rearranging, or deleting site folders, creating
custom folders, or changing the publishing properties for folders, pages, and assets.
A C in the Attributes column of an item in Publish view indicates the item was
customized. For example, a directory with a new name or a file moved from one
directory to a new directory displays a C in the Attributes column.
Note: Customizing your directory structure does not change the
appearance, design, or content that your site visitor sees; it only
controls how the pages and assets are stored on the server, and the
URL to access the site’s interior information.
NetObjects Fusion saves the customized directory structure in the Sitename.nod file
so you don’t have to reconfigure the structure each time you generate the site’s
HTML files or transfer them to a server.
Warning:When you make changes to folders, pages, and assets in the
Remote pane, you are changing the folders, pages, and assets
located on the server you publish to. Be careful not to delete
any important files as it will affect your published site.
Creating a Custom Folder
1. In either pane of Publish view, select the folder, page, or asset where you want
to add a custom folder, right-click, and select New Folder from the shortcut
menu.
NetObjects Fusion adds a custom subfolder named New Folder below the
selected folder or file.
2. Enter a new name for the folder and press Enter or select another object to
record the folder name.
3. Drag other folders or files into the custom folder as needed.
