Images missing from themed Nav bar: _derived folder problem?

B

Barry

Images/graphics are missing from my interactive Nav-bar. see subsequent
pages on www.powerperfector(SPAMREMOVE).com
The Nav bar comes from a Theme, and it's only the pressed images that are
missing. I'm using FP 2003.

From previous posts here, I've tried :
- displaying hidden files, but _derived folder doesn't show (other hidden
folders do eg _borders, but not _derived ?)
- updated the images in the theme, then reapplied it to all the pages
- recalculated hyperlinks (both locally, and on the remote site)
- re-publishing the site (all pages, and then just changed pages); then
looking at the log file.
- 'exploring' the remote _derived folder - where some images are present,
even though they were not listed in the above log file ! but the missing
images are not there.
- I got my ISP to remove, then re-install the FP extensions, then I did all
of the above again.

If I publish the site to my local machine it all works fine.
I could presumably use explorer to compare the local/remote _derived
folders, then ftp missing images to the remote server, but I understand this
would wreck FP the functionality of FP extensions thereafter.

Incidentally, I searched MS knowlege base - and didn't find a single ref to
"_derived"! - shame.

Open your site in FP
Delete all _overlay folders
Select View Navigation and make a change (to anything)
Then run Tool Recalculate Hyperlinks
FP should regenerate all the _overlay files and from them the hidden _derived files

Thanks for you input..
Should I open the LOCAL file... (do what you suggest) ...and then upload it,
or open the REMOTE file?

You can do it in local and then publish ALL
- if that doesn't work do it in remote

Tried both, in the order you suggested.
ALso tried removing and replacing shared borders.
Also tried replacing the 3 images in the theme, then applying the changed
theme.
The new images do display, but the pressed images are still missing from
_dervied & therefore don't display.

It all works OK if I publish locally.
Does anyon know what creates _derived locally (presumably not FP extns) and
what creates it remotely (I presume FP extns).
What version of FP Extns should be running on the server?
How do I find out what version is ruuning?

Thanks ... Barry

_derived content is generated from _overlay content by the FP SE
(both locally and when you publish)
Even when running a disk based web you are running a subset of the FP SE

Try opening your live site in FP and doing it there
