Retrieving my site - HELP

[rosskkssor]

Good Morning / Afternoon / or .... Evening!

I find myself in a pickle. I am not the most computer savvy of people, but I can get by. Here is my problem;

I was making an adjustment to the site which is up and operational - in my rush to adjust a photo item which seemed to have unlinked itself a prompt box came along and asked if I wanted to make it a site wide adjustment.

I did not read it correctly - or -knowing me - did not fully understand it. So I said yes ..... and then my entire site on the computer, two weeks of work, disappeared from my computer - I thought for a split second I had lost just the update, but no - all I have is a first outdated version saved from when I started.

The site is still up - I need to finish it - soon, as I am very close to launching my business, the big question,

HOW do I reverse the process and pull it down to the computer? Is this possible?

I really really don't want to have to spend another two weeks rebuilding it all over again, learning as I go ..... it was painful, but doable!

All help very gratefully received.

Thank you.

so this edit was done using Muse or IBE?

I was working through Muse.

No idea, what you are describing. Making „side wide adjustments“ is no alert appearing in Muse.

But, to make it short: There is no way to reconstruct that Muse file from its HTML output data. It is like trying to retrieve the ingredients from a ready made meal.

Thank you for your comment - i did say I didn't read it very well -

So when a site is retrieved back to a computer it just grabs the files - or data - and matches it to the existing files on the computer - if I have an early version - would it not just pop that cake mixture into those files?

It does sound by your tone though I am a bit screwed.

Importing the exported files from the server back to your machine won‘t do anything to the assets of your existing Muse file, as long as you don‘t overwrite the old files.

thank you for your comments -

Its that question though, just incase I can - is it possible to import through Muse?

[Günter Heißenbüttel]

You can replace assets of your older Muse file, by the assets, which you re-import from your server. But that’s it.

Mr. Gunter - thank you for your time. It remains a mystery on how (using the frenchman's words, killed my original files. I will mark this question answered.

Bonjour, si c'est le muse qui a été perdu, donc, le projet local, là, c'est mort, dans ce cas, il faut télécharger les fichiers du serveur par FTP et faire les corrections à la main dans le code.

Merci pour votre message, il semblerait que j'ai beaucoup de travail devant moi.
