Linking Pages

[brianm]

HI
I have created 6 pages on BV including my index page, and saved all files are .bpv files. I am having trouble linking my pages together.

I have used a navigation bar, and have tried to link my pages via this element. Say I am on my index page and would like to go to another page titled invitation, i go to the navigation bar properties window and then edit the invitation button:
link type would be : http
URL would be: www.cletabrainsilverwedding.com/initation.html

if that is correct, then i do not know where my problem lies, because it doesnt work.

I have also published the pages!

Can someone please help me!!!!

Brian

Re: Linking Pages

Why not download the latest version of blue voda, install it and try publishing again ...

Oh, one other thing, when did you get your account??


And are you posting the correct domain name??? I dont think you are ....

Re: Linking Pages

What would an xample of a correct domain name be?
ive tied my level best to follow all the tutorials and it doesnt seem like ive done aything wrong but im still not getting it to work properly! i can view each of my pages individually through the preview mode, i just cant get the hyperlinks to work!

Re: Linking Pages

An example of a correct domain name would be the url (address) of your website ... the one that you type in to come to your main page ...

what is that address, so we can take a look at where the problems might be ...

If that is your domain that you typed in this thread earlier, your domain must have expired it is now available to buy ???

So perhaps that is your problem ...

Re: Linking Pages

Hi there. I was wondering if I was able to click through my links on the preview mode or if it only worked after my webite is actually published?

Hi there, after you publish, you will be able to see your pages you have linked together, until then the url is not live or activated ...

Hi brianm

You can always check this at go daddy.

You are fine, I checked for you and you do not expire until March of '08

Your domain is currently parked ... what you will need to do is sign into your go daddy account, go to manage domains and change the namer servers there ...

Two server names you will need to change ..

Change these to the two name servers that Voda Host has provided to you in your welcome email.

The look similar to the below with the exception the xx's will be your own numbers

ns.XX.vodahost.com
ns.XX.vodahost.com

Once you make that change, your website will be able to be published using all of the information provided to you in your welcome email from Voda Hosting ....

You will publish your pages to public_html directory ...

Hope this helps bring you one step closer to your website being on line.

Yes you name, save and publish the "landing page" of your domain as index and to the public_html directory ... this is the folder that you will publish all of your pages to ..

Please note the use of all small letters, no spaces in the words of the name of the page, unless joined together by the _symbol .. ok

It will always be (or normally, there are other instances) however, it will always be to publish to public_html

The above is the link to the tutorial for you to view in regards to hyperlinking all of your pages together ...

You're doing great ...
