Where
the Files Are
The Directory Structure of the
Program is as Follows:
The Main Directory
This is The Directory that you have chosen to install the program to
- "Web PriceList 2001" - in the above example
The ONLY file in this directory that requires Backing Up is
"web2001.cfg"
Backup Files
This Directory and all of it's sub-directories are used by the program
to store backup copies of the data files for the pricelist(s) you are working
on and have used the backup function for.
Restoring Files is a Manual Process
Eg: To Restoring the Default PriceList you would
-
It is Suggested that even though the Working files might be corrupted to
still copy them to another directory first (ie. The Files in "\Price
Lists\Default")
-
Delete The Files in the Directory "\Price Lists\Default" - Don't
delete any of the sub-directories or their contents
-
Copy the Files from the Backed Up Directory "\Backup Files\Price Lists\Default"
to the Directory "\Price Lists\Default"
-
Now you can run the program
If the program Still error's when loading then it might not be the data
files that have been corrupted and instead a completely different problem
- (This is Why it's a good idea to keep a copy
of the working files before restoring)
The "Db-d" and "Help Files" Directories
These are just files used by the program and DO NOT require
backing up as they are never changed
PriceList Files
This is the set of Directories where the main Working Files are Stored
and is the Directory and Sub-Directories that should be backed up by you
from time to time as there are files here that are NOT copied to
the "BackUp Files" sub-directory when you use the internal backup
function.
For the Standard License version there will only be one sub-directory
called default but for the developer version then each additional pricelist
will be placed in a separate sub-directory "List 1", "List 2", "List
3" , ......, "List {x}"
Each PriceList has the following sets of
Sub-Directories:
-
cgi-bin - This Directory is used to
store the ready to use cgi-script for the pricelist if you have chosen
either wplmail.pl or wplmail.cgi as the cgi script to use
the cgi script must be uploaded to your servers cgi-bin directory
-
Html Inserts - If you have chosen to
use any custom Html code for the pricelist then the code files need to
be placed in this directory before you Generate the Files - if they
are not then an error message will be displayed during generation and the
the code will not have been inserted - Files in this directory do not
need to be Uploaded
-
Image Files - This directory is included
to provide a convenient place to store any image files that you wish to
use throughout the pricelist as it is the default directory used when browsing
for image files to use.
-
Upload Files - This Directory Holds
all of the html Files required for the shop the sub-directory within
holds the files for the ReSeller pricelist and needs to be uploaded as
a sub-directory with the same name of the Directory on your server that
you have chosen to upload the files from the "Upload Files" Directory.
Any image files you have used need to be uploaded to both the retail and
reseller directories - unless you have chosen to use the same files for
both Retail & ReSeller lists in the other details section
in which case you only need to place the image files in the retail
pricelist's Directory
Sample
This Directory just contains some Demo Shops that you can use on your
local machine - although you will not be able to actually send the order
in
