1. Re: Why do link paths include .../Templates/... ??
Newsgroup_User Nov 29, 2006 12:51 PM (in response to dkmiles)> ".../mysite/Templates/about.htm.'
-------^^^^^^
If you are seeing this, then your site is not properly defined. What is set
as the root folder of your local site?

2. Re: Why do link paths include .../Templates/... ??
dkmiles Nov 29, 2006 1:08 PM (in response to Newsgroup_User)Murray - thanks for the quick response.
The site is called 'Bruce_site' and is all contained within a root folder on my drive called 'Bruce_site." I just checked and that is the defined root folder. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. -
3. Re: Why do link paths include .../Templates/... ??
Newsgroup_User Nov 29, 2006 1:24 PM (in response to Newsgroup_User)All links in your template files should be either -
1. Relative to the template document, or
2. Relative to the site root, or
3. Absolute
Do the links in your template file meet that requirement?

4. Re: Why do link paths include .../Templates/... ??
dkmiles Nov 29, 2006 4:54 PM (in response to Newsgroup_User)I checked ' links relative to site root' in the site definitions page, and that didn't make any change.
How would I make the links relative to the templates?
It seems making the links absolute would be a major pain going forward with design.
thanks for the help. -
5. Re: Why do link paths include .../Templates/... ??
Newsgroup_User Nov 29, 2006 5:10 PM (in response to Newsgroup_User)Are you trying to link to one specific file?
Are you trying to link to other files that are in the Templates folder??
(if yes- move the other files out. There should only be .dwt template files
in the Templates folder)
Try this:
Open the Template for editing.
Do a link check.
Fix the broken links by using the Browse to File dialog box, and I suggest
you use Document Relative paths..
When all the links work in the template file itself- save and let dw update
the pages based on it.
Now check those pages- the links should all work unless something is really
odd. If they don't work- please upload the template, and give a link to the
.dwt file and some pages based on it.

Do you mean you changed them in your template file? But of course - that's
what I told you in my first post.
