Freeway Reference: Publishing and Uploading

Refreshing the browser—when the browser misrepresents what’s on the page
Browsers often “cache” images, potentially causing display anomalies when you preview sites more than once from Freeway. The effect
can be most problematic when you are working with frames (see Working with Frames on page 187), rollover, or target images (see
Rollovers on the Softpress Knowledgebase). The solution is to “refresh” or “reload” the page in the browser.
To do this, choose Reload or Refresh from the browser’s View menu, click the Reload or Refresh button on the browser’s tool bar or press
Command-r. You may also have to force the browser to refresh
by holding the Alt key while refreshing. If this doesn’t work, go
to the browser’s Preferences and in the Advanced section, clear
the cache. Quitting and restarting the browser may also help.
Some browsers let you set the cache to 0MB.
Publishing the site
When you publish your document, Freeway outputs any pages or images that have been changed since the last time the site was published,
ensuring that the site folder contains a complete and current version of your site.
To prevent the site folder from becoming clogged up with out-of-date files, Freeway ensures that any files that are no longer needed for
the site are removed each time you publish. If you need to change your site folder at any point, you can use the Document Setup…
command on the File menu (see Document Setup: Site folder on pages 231–2 for more information). The next time you preview the site,
Freeway will generate a completely new version of all the files. Freeway stores information about what files should be in the site folder
using a small file called “_siteinfo” which also resides in the site folder. Site folder information is also stored in the Freeway document
itself.
When you’re ready to publish your document to the web, Freeway can upload all the required files to your server.
The three commands related to publishing your site are:
Publish: Updates the site folder with any changes.
Preview: Updates the site folder and loads the current page in a web browser.
Upload: Updates the site folder and then transfers all the required files to your server.
Whenever you make changes to the original Freeway document, you will need
to republish the site using one of the above commands so that these changes
are reflected in the site folder.
When you change the contents of a page or create a new one, the Site panel
displays a bullet point beside its icon in the palette to show that it needs to
be rebuilt.
The HTML code that Freeway generates can be customized using the Output
settings in Preferences. You can choose whether to make the HTML more
compact or more readable, and whether HTML tags are output in upper- or
lowercase; you can also set how any layout tables are reinforced and select
the type of line feeds that will be used. You can also do this on a page-by-page basis using the Page Output panel in the Inspector
palette.
Setting the site folder
The site folder can be set in the New Document dialog when
creating a new document or at any other time using the
Document Setup… command on the File menu. However, if
you haven’t set your site folder at all, you will be prompted to
create one the first time your site is published using the Publish,
Preview, or Upload commands.
Freeway displays a Choose a Site Folder dialog, allowing you
to navigate to a folder of your choice or create a new one. When
the dialog displays the name of your chosen folder, click the
Choose button to set it to be your new site folder.
Publishing a fresh version of your site
Occasionally, you may wish to create a completely new version of your site. You can do this in two ways. Either choose a new site
folder using the Document Setup… command on the File menu or use the Publish Everything command. Publish Everything forces
Freeway to completely regenerate your site HTML from the document and is a useful way of ensuring that everything is up-to-date.
To use the Publish Everything command, hold down the Control key and choose Publish Everything from the File menu.
Power Tip: When working with rollover or target images, you may refresh
the mouseover image in the browser by holding the cursor over the rollover
item and then pressing
Command-r to refresh the image.
The Site panel shows
pages that have been
modified and need
republishing marked with
bullet points.
