When working on a single page locally FP will always use file based link references
When working in a disc based web (DBW) Site, any page that has been opened and not saved will initially show file based links until
the page is saved the 1st time
If any of the links are outside of your currently open FP Site they will also show up as file based links
Note:
FP has always been happiest when your DBW root web is a top level folder on your drive w/o any spaces or punctuation (if it is not,
FP can tend to use file based links)
| Then, what you're saying is that I'm updating my LIVE website directly. I
| can understand why that would work.
|
| What I have always done in the past was modify my site on my local pc and
| then publish it to the servers where my site is hosted. But, I don't ever
| remember having to type over the File//: paths to make them
Http://. In
| fact, I "know" I have never had to do that. I've been using FP for 6 or 7
| years now. I am really puzzled why now it's become an issue.
|
| I have also notice that if I change a folder name or file name the links are
| not automatically updated throughout the site. Suddenly, FP is not my
| friend anymore.
