Generating the initial co-author Web pages


    Typically, the co-author adds and edits stories, and then generates the updated Web pages. However, during co-author site development, the Web designer may generate the initial pages. Generating the initial pages not only provides an example of how the pages appear for the co-author, but also allows the Web designer to preview and test the pages to ensure the site is functional and complete.

    You can generate co-author Web pages by using GoLive commands or by using the Co-Author Editor. To generate co-author pages using the Co-Author Editor, see Generating and publishing co-author Web pages.

To generate co-author Web pages using GoLive commands:

  1. Open a section.aglsec file.
  2. Note: In order to generate pages, you must have previously created a co-author section with items, set-up a template with editable regions, and created stories in the Co-Author Editor. (See Understanding the Web designer workflow.)

  3. Choose Special > Generate Co-Author Pages. GoLive generates a page for each story, placing them in the section's pages folder.
