How many Pages in Frontpage 2003

[dlanden]

I was just wondering how many pages you could have in a website built by
frontpage 2003? Is there a number when the program could become unstable or
is more related to amount of disk space being used?

Imagine the number 8. Now rotate it 90 degrees clockwise (or
counter-clockwise). That's how many pages!

There is no limit, however issue may develop with a large number of pages when using FP Navigation
components.

How much disk space do you have?

 

[Mark Fitzpatrick]

You can place however many pages you want. The difficulty comes when
updating a number of pages at once, maintaining large numbers of pages,
etc.. Also, the larger your site, the longer it takes to publish. Even if
you only change a page or two, when publishing a large FP web FP will still
need to compare the local version to the remote version to see what has
changed. On slow connections this can drag on. Sometimes it can reach the
point where the server will timeout because the process is taking too long
to compare information. In this case, it's sometimes best to try to break
off logical groups of content into their own subwebs, thus increasing the
ease of management and publishing.

Hope this helps,

How long is a piece of string ?

 

[Murray]

I prefer to think of that as how many angels can dance on the head of a
pin....

The answer is infinity x the final answer of the square root of pie
(make mine cherry please)

Or is it round (? * ? , 0)

It would have to be an integer number )

Sorry Bob..it was just an attempt at a little humor..I can assure you though
that my humor is finite!

There really is no absolute answer to the number of pages that can be
created in FrontPage.

Thanks to everyone for the input I think I get the idea!

 

[Bob]

Just a thought...
The square root of 3.14 = 1.77200----- BUT that is less than 2 no?
Had me confused.... But that is not hard.

Yeah, that's why I put in a round function. It was meant to read round
(infinity * pi , 0)

Only trouble is I can't remember the syntax
Does one use round (x,1) to round to whole numbers or round (x,0)?
(I don't need to know the answer - I'll look it up when I need to)

This topic has probably been done to death by now )

One thing to think about -

Although you can publish as many pages and folders as you like, always
remember this when setting up a site or should I say a large site.

Maintenance can become an issue because of so many pages. Example - you have
a copyright notice on every page with a calendar year stated and the next
year arrives. If you would like for your site to be fresh and have the
latest notice, then you would have to go through hundreds of pages just to
change a date. This is just 1 example. It could something simple like a
phone number or address change.

For things that are repeated on multple pages and will be subject to change,
consider programimg your page with the "include function".

This is a page that is located in one place. You edit the info and it
applies throughout your entire site.

Also after you have published your site, and the next time you publish, set
your publishing settings to publish "changed pages only".
This will save you a great deal of time updating your site.

This is just a thought....

DWT's work great too! (with the includes incorporated within them)
This way you can make design changes across the entire web site easily

I like it!

That was very good advice Mike.

Using includes can be a great convenience and timesaver.

If you get stuck though needing to update the same piece of information that
shows on multiple individual pages..doing a "find and replace" can also work
well. Although it needs to be done carefully..and you should always have
good backups before you do it. The find and replace function starting with
FrontPage 2003..is very good though!
