About Corel®WEB.SiteManager
About Corel WEB.SiteManager

Corel WEB.SiteManager provides Web site administrators (“webmasters”) with maintenance, monitoring, diagnostic, and repair facilities for their Internet and Intranet sites.

Corel WEB.SiteManager  provides and intuitive drag and drop interface making it easy for the webmaster to monitor, verify, repair and update the content of the Web site.

There are no server extensions required to run the application. Corel WEB.SiteManager supports local and remote servers via the HTTP and file access protocols.


Getting Started - Overview

Corel WEB.SiteManager is a graphical Web site management tool that allows you to manage the pages, hypertext links, and the file structure of the Web site.

After starting the application, the Open dialog box appears. Sites can be loaded either via the local file system or by opening it through HTTP access.

There is also an option of re-opening the most recently examined sites from the File Menu or by choosing the site from the drop-down list on the toolbar and clicking the Go button.

To open a new site, select Open on the File Menu or click the Open button on the toolbar.

Tips

For Web sites that are more complex, there is an option to set the number of levels to be opened at the bottom of the open sites dialog.

Do you want to stop the site being from loaded at a certain point? Simply click the stop button located on the toolbar.

Use one of Corel WEB.SiteManager ’s Link Wizards to repair broken hypertext links and leave messages when files have been moved, copied, renamed, or deleted.


HTTP Access-Opening an Internet Site
Opening an Internet Site

To open an Internet site, select Open on the File Menu or click the Open button on the toolbar. Select the Open an Internet Site option in the Open dialog box, type in the URL of the site and click OK.

The Advanced section allows you to specify the site root and default Home Page name. If you are working on a sub-section of the Web site and there are links to Web pages outside the sub-section but still within the site root they will be displayed as external links. You must specify the Site Root in order for the links to these pages to be verified correctly once external links are checked. If the Default Page Name is not specified, Corel WEB.SiteManager will assume it to be “unknown_name.html”.

To specify Proxy Server details click the Proxy button or select the HTTP Options tab from Preferences on the File Menu.

Through HTTP you can connect to and analyze any site that you can access with your Web browser. By using HTTP Access, one can view and understand the structure of a Web site and detect broken links on a remotely located site.

If you also have file-level access, you can take advantage of the product’s advanced management features by selecting the Open Local Site option in the Open dialog box.

At any point during loading a site you can Stop SiteManager from Reading it.


File Access-Opening a Local Site
Opening a Local Site

To open a local site, select Open on the File Menu or click the Open button on the toolbar. Select the Open a Local Site option in the Open dialog box, type in or browse to select the path of the site and click OK.

The Advanced section allows you to specify the site root and default Home Page name. If you are working on a sub-section of the Web site and there are links to Web pages outside the sub-section but still within the site root they will be displayed as external links. You must specify the Site Root in order for the links to these pages to be verified correctly once external links are checked. If the Default Page Name is not specified, Corel WEB.SiteManager will assume it to be “index.html”.

File-level access allows you to take advantage of Corel WEB.SiteManager’s advanced management features.

Use these advanced features to Drag and Drop, Delete, and Rename files and folders and, using the Link Wizard, either update broken links or leave bookmarks for visitors who access the site.

At any point during loading a site you can Stop SiteManager from Reading it.


File View - Overview

The File View is located on the left when either Page View, List View, Source View, or Browser View is displayed on the right of the screen. It lists the files and folders on the current Web site. Files and Folders are displayed in a tree format which enables a more complete view of the site. A folder is opened by clicking the + sign located beside it.

Double-clicking a file in File View opens it in the selected editor.

Synchronizing File View with Others Views

By selecting Keep Views Synchronized on the View Menu, the file that has the focus on the right side of the screen will stay synchronized with the file that is selected in File View.

If the Keep Views Synchronized option has been selected, single-clicking a file in File View gives the following:

If Page View is on the right of the screen, then clicking the file in File View makes it the document of focus on the right.

If List View is on the right of the screen, then clicking the file in File View will highlight it on the right, providing the file type is currently being displayed in List View.

If Source View is on the right of the screen, then clicking the file in File View causes the source code to be displayed on the right.

If Browser View is on the right of the screen, then clicking the file in File View launches Corel WEB.SiteManager’s built-in Browser on the right.

If the Keep Views Synchronized option has not been selected, it is possible to synchronize two views by right-clicking the file in File View and selecting Synchronize Views.

   Page View - Overview

Corel WEB.SiteManager's Page View allows you to visualize and understand the links and relationships between the files on your site. Its graphical representation lets you instantly identify different types of links to and from your pages. Links to HTML files are shown by the globe icon and broken links are represented by a red circle with an X inside. Links to other files are shown by icons specific to the file type. A plus (+) sign beside the icon indicates that further links exist. When you double-click an icon, links to and from that file will be shown.

Click here  [image]  to see how Corel WEB.SiteManager identifies the various file types and links going to and from your site.

Placing the cursor over any of the files in Page View allows you to see more information about the Web page itself. This information includes title, author, location of the file, and whether the page uses Frames, Java, ActiveX, or Forms. Click here  [image]  to see the icons for the different page properties. If the site is still being loaded and the file has not yet been parsed, then a message will also appear to that effect.

With Page View you can also quickly identify problems like broken links and orphan files within the structure of your site.

Corel WEB.SiteManager also provides the option to synchronize Page View with File View.

Corel WEB.SiteManager can check not only the links within your site but links to external Web sites too.

If you are not sure whether it is safe to delete a file or not, select the document and you will see all external and internal files pointing to it and all files and pages it points to.

The Link Wizard instantly recognizes when a file operation will affect links and can fix them automatically.

Checking Links to External Sites - Overview

This feature allows you to ensure that all external links on the current site are valid. There are two options for checking links to external sites. Corel WEB.SiteManager can either be defaulted to check links to external Web sites immediately after the site has been loaded or the links can be verified at a later time once the Web site’s pages have been analyzed.

To default Corel WEB.SiteManager to check external links after the site has been loaded, click the Check Links to External Pages After Site Load on the External Sites menu.

If you want to save time in loading the site or only verify external links once modifications have been made to the Web pages, then external links can be checked at any time by selecting the Check Links to External Pages on the External Sites menu. To stop checking external links at any time select Stop Checking External Links on the External Sites menu

To check the status of only one external link, you can right-click on the external link in Page View and select Re-Check Link.

The following three symbols are used in Page View and represent how external links may appear:

	Not Validated
	Validated and Unbroken
	Validated and Broken


The Link Wizard

Message	Description
Automatically repair affected links	Corel WEB.SiteManager will automatically update links to point to the new location thereby maintaining the integrity of the site. This is the preferred option since it maintains the integrity of the site.
Move the item but do not repair any links	This option may be useful if you want to fix the links later manually or if you’re using another tool to repair the broken links.
Leave a “This page has moved message” in its place	Useful if you have moved or deleted a page that other people have bookmarks pointing to. Instead of getting an error, they will receive a message informing them that the page has moved.
