How To Use FrontPage To Develop Large Websites

Subjects > ... > Web > FrontPage

One technique for helping FrontPage able to deal with a large websites is to organize it's webpages in folders, (or subdirectories), and then make some of it's folders into subwebs. This will allow the site to be updated into sections.

However, this technique also has some drawbacks:

• Updates to the shared borders of the main, (or outer, or parent web), will not propagate to the subwebs. Any changes main to the borders of the main site will have to be manually moved to all the subwebs.
  • Solution: It is possible to use Apache Style server side includes in a subweb to pull in the content of the shared borders of the outer, or parent, web.
• The FrontPage Search Component does not search subwebs. This can be an advantage and a disadvantage. Search Subwebs With FrontPage suggests some possible solutions.
• Table of Contents component won't show titles for pages that are on subwebs. FrontPage may list the pages, but just use partial Urls for their titles.
  • For example a page linking to a page within a subweb, might show the following for properly titled pages:
    • Stations Of Cross
      • [Stations_Of_The_Cross/index.htm] - Should be Stations Of The Cross
      • [Stations_Of_The_Cross/Opening_Prayer.htm] - Should be just Opening Prayer
      • [Stations_Of_The_Cross/01_First_Station_-_Jesus_Is_Condemned_To_Death.htm] - Should be Jesus Condemned To Death
      • [Stations_Of_The_Cross/02_Second_Station_-_Jesus_Carries_His_Cross.htm]
      • [Stations_Of_The_Cross/03_Third_Station_-_Jesus_Falls_The_First_Time.htm]
  • One solution to this problem is to keep the FrontPage generated table of contents in a webpage that is not publicly linked from the rest of the site, then cut and paste from that page to a table of contents page of your own that is publicly linked. That will defeat FrontPage 's automatic update features, but it will give you the best control over the look and feel of the Table of Contents page.
    • However, this technique could cause multiple table of content style pages to be returned for a search. Placing the page in a _private directory will make the page unbrowseable. So you might want to just periodically add the page to the site, save it, browse to it to get it's results, cut and paste them into the real contents page, and then delete the automatically generated one.
