Re: [LegacyUG] Putting Webpages on the Internet
I think you could if you zipped the files and sent the zip file to Dropbox or Google Drive and the other person downloaded the zip and unzipped them. Cathy Brian L. Lightfoot wrote: I don’t use Dropbox, Google Drive, or any such similar sites but the short answer to your question is “I doubt itâ€. And when you say “share such a fileâ€, I assume you mean to share all of the web pages created by Legacy. You can certainly share your family database file (.fdb) but unless they have the Legacy program, then can’t open it. You can certainly share a GEDCOM file (.GED) but once again unless the other person has a GEDCOM viewing program, they can’t open it. And the whole idea is to create web pages within Legacy and then to share them somehow allowing anybody with a web browser to open and view everything. Without sounding too geeky, merely sharing a complete set of Legacy created files on Dropbox or other sites would most likely fail for two reasons. The first is that the Dropbox server knows nothing about HTML language. The seconds is due to “relative addressing versus absolute addressingâ€. In other words, others could certain open up your main index.html file but within that index.html file, there are links to other people, links to photos, links to other pages, etc . and all those links look something like this, “/graphics/image.jpgâ€. For example, in my own web pages that were created by Legacy, here is a typical line which shows relative addressing in use. Notice the slashes in the link to the image source (img src). This addressing tells the web server where to go to find that picture. br clear=righta href=./pictures/a2_1_lightfoot,_frank_sr__-_1985.jpg TARGET=_blankimg src=./pictures/a2_1_lightfoot,_frank_sr__-_1985.jpg align=right width=200 height=300 border=0 vspace=10 title=Franklin Lee Lightfoot, Sr. (6328 KB) That is relative addressing which Legacy uses because it assumes that all the files are together on one root folder with subfolders all on a hard drive, even if that hard drive is on your own computer or a hard drive on a web server. Drop Box is not a web server but rather a file server. So maybe if you went into your Legacy created web pages and changed all the paths to something like “http://www.dropbox.com/smith/sources/1940_census_surprise_arizona.jpgâ€, it would be a monumental task that I’m fairly certain just won’t work unless your files reside on a web server that was configured to …well…serve up html pages.
