Specifying preferences and settings for Web sites


    When you manage a Web site, it's important to specify several application-wide Site preferences and site-specific settings that affect the site.

    The Site preferences establish the way you manage all sites and include settings for general file and folder management, Filename Constraints, Status, Clean Up Site, Upload/Export, Diagram Colors, and Diagram Link Types. Two other categories of application-wide preferences that also affect the management of all sites are the Script Library preferences and Internet preferences. The Script Library preferences include settings for how GoLive handles JavaScripts, and the Internet preferences include settings for connectivity and network status.

    In addition to the Site preferences, you can also specify site-specific settings for Publish Servers, URL Handling, URL Mappings, Diagram Colors, Script Library, and others. The site-specific settings override the Site preferences.

To set preferences that affect all sites:

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS).
  2. In the left pane of the Preferences dialog box, do one of the following:
    • Click or expand the Site preferences icon Site preferences icon and then select a Site category.
    • Click the Script Library preferences icon Script Library preferences icon .
    • Click the Internet preferences icon Internet preferences icon .
  3. In the right pane, set the preferences you want to apply to all sites.
  4. Click OK.

To specify site-specific settings:

  1. Open a site.
  2. Click the Site Settings button Site Settings button on the toolbar or choose Site > Settings.
  3. In the Site Settings dialog box, click a category in the left pane and then select options in the right pane.
  4. If the Site Specific Settings option is available for a category, select it to have the site-specific settings override the Site preferences.
  5. Click OK.
