Page Configuration
The Page Configuration Dialog is used to define your QuickPost HTML pages. The settings specify the login information to FTP the files to and from your web server. Also, the page to add your post to is specified here.
Settings
Nickname of the Page Profile - This is simply a friendly name for you to refer to this page configuration. You may name it whatever you desire.
Username - This is the login that you use when logging into your web server to upload files.
Password - This is the password that you use when logging into your web server to upload files. Most servers are case sensitive when it comes to passwords, so be careful with the CAPS-LOCK key.
Web Server Address - This is the address of your web server. It may be a domain name such as yourdomain.com or an IP address such as 208.31.145.167
Port - This is the Port number for FTP transfer. The Default is 21. Unless you are sure your port number needs to be something else, leave it at 21.
Page Path and File Name - This is the path and filename on the FTP server for the file you wish to post to. Most servers use forward slashes "/" and not backslashes "\". Filenames may also be case sensitive on some servers.
Location of Page on Local System - This is the location of the same file specified in "Page Path and File Name", but on your computer. This setting is used as the location to download the file to from the web so that you can maintain that file from any computer, and also so that you have a local copy as a backup.
Post Position - This is the location that the post will be inserted into the page. Top will place the most recent post at the top of the page and bottom will place the most recent post at the bottom.
A word about post insertion - The program looks the <quickpost> or </quickpost> tags to insert the HTML. A Top setting will place your most recent post immediately after the <quickpost> tag. A bottom setting will place your most recent post immediately before the </quickpost> tag. You may place the <quickpost> tags anywhere in your HTML - so long as they are between the <body> and </body> tags. Here is a sample file:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Recent Website Additions:</h1>
<quickpost></quickpost>
</body></html>
