Page in subfolder, creating new pages
Hi My perch installation is on the root directory. The page itself is in a folder (www.mydomain.ch/mywebsite). When I create new pages, they're always copied to the root, not into my folder. If I move them by changing the location, they loose connection to the masterpage.
How is the workflow for this case? Thanks a lot.
Ok I'm sure there's a correct way of doing this, but I'll hold my head in my hands and tell you how I fix this issue.
In "/mywebsite/" add a "index.php" file... with a
Visit the page: www.mydomain.ch/mywebsite
That will now create the subfolder so any additional /mywebsite/hello.php or /mywebsite/hello/ in the admin will show under mywebsite
you can then remove the "remove later" from the index.php and the admin
Hope that's what you were looking to do
Just as a side note if you're building a new website on some existing live hosting, you'll save yourself a lot of pain if you don't ever use this path "www.mydomain.ch/mywebsite" and use it as a sub domain instead I.E www.mywebsite.mydomain.ch. This way when you're putting it live you just have to move the files out of the subfolder, no re-adding the perch content.
Anyway sorry if i've got the wrong end of the stick
Thanks a lot Stephan! You've leaded me to a solution. So I have to base every new page as a subpage of this first page? It's working now with this.
The reason for the subfolder is, I'm testing a page for a client on my own domain. But it would also be the case, if I'm doing a relaunch of a running website.
You're welcome, In that case I would def install perch as a sub domain...
You'll need to reinstall perch on the sub domain url and you'll need to add the that as your development licence domain URL.
Good Luck
Ok, perfect. I reinstalled the whole page within a subdomain. Now, it's no more getting messed up. Thank you!
