Yup - sounds like you have it spot on. RedDot is very much a static, 'assemble once, sever as flat files' system as opposed to something like PHP which is much more dynamic. This has its upsides and downsides, one of which you've come across - when a 'component' changes, you need to ensure all affected pages publish out. The 'publish related' option /should/ achieve that, but it sounds as though it's not, for some reason. Can you investigate the publishing report, in conjunction with a page that you think should have published but didn't, and spot any possible reason?
BTW, are you using LiveServer? If so, you'll need to take cache into account. - Bobby On Feb 6, 3:33 pm, abdn_webteam <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for reply. > > That's pretty much what I'm doing, the chages are being reflected on > all the pages inside smart edit but only the pages that are published > to the server get the changes. > > It's appears like the pages are being "assembled" inside reddot and > put up as a whole, rather than my thinking where the foundation page > on the server is actually looking at the header page on the server, > like an include.
