Rename files using Contribute

Sep 15, 2006 8:45 AM

I had a user today publish a new file named "indexi.asp" He intended to
name it "index.asp" but did not realize his mistake until too late.
So we now have a file called indexi.asp on the server. Is there any way
to rename it using Contribute?

The file uses repeating regions, so we can not merely copy the content
and paste it into a new file of the same template.

I can perform the rename in the back end, and they can via a direct
(network share) connection to the folder, but I'd rather encourage them
to do everything from Contribute if possible.

Thanks.
-Ben

    I don't think Contribute can do a rename. You could start an edit on the mis-named page in Contribute and therefore get it to download a copy of the page to the local working directory, Save for later and exit. Then copy the page on the local drive, renaming it index(New).asp, go back into Contribute, publish the new page and cancel the draft of the mis-named one. Not complex, but hardly simple either.

    Thanks, Tom. That's about what I figured. Just as easy for the user to
    rename the file on the server (at least, for these users.)

    Hi,

    Right now contribute does not have re-name functionality. Another
    alternative could be, Browse to the file on the server that you want to
    rename (say indexi.htm) and do File->New->Copy of Current page, Enter
    proper title for the page, and publish the page as index.htm, Delete the
    page on the server that you dont want to have (indexi.htm). I know this
    isnt a better work around but we shall plan to have this capability
    added to contribute in future releases.

    Thanks
    Arun
