folder path

Need help with file/folder paths in DTPO.

I have an HTML document with relative links to a folder at the same level as the .html file (root/index.html, root/index_files) in the Finder and the images and CSS work fine.

I drag/dropped those two files into a new Group in DTPO and the links are now broken even though it appears that the folder path is the same, MainPage is now the “root” (MainPage/index.html, MainPage/index_files)

I’m guessing it’s the way DTPO creates it’s database structure and it’s not really as it appears. Is there a work around?

The only workaround right now is to not import these files but to index them.

#3

That did work. Ideally I’d like them inside the db, but for this specific project it works, I can now search the content of HTML pages within DTPO.

Am I right in that the way DTPO manages the data that what appears to be an index.html file and it’s folder of images/css at the same directory level are not in fact at the same level?

Thanks

The internal file/folder structure is completely different and might change every then and now.
