dreamweaver's template

[alaios]

Hi there... I have just created a template for my site in dreamweaver mx... The problem that i face is that the new page has absolute paths instead of relative... so my site isn't portable... Do u know what i must do so i can create new pages from my template with relative links???

The site is hosted on a pc in my local network that runs linux and samba...
Any good suggestions?
Thx

I don't use Dreamweaver, but this might be able to help you out.

Instead of using absolute paths like /home/users/yoursitename/www/images/imagename.jpg or whatever the case may be - you need to use paths like images/imagename.jpg or in the case of a link such as <a href="/www/mypage.htm"> it should be <a href="mypage.html"> and folder names where appropriate.

Once you make that change to the template - you can take that template and stick it wherever and whenever! :)
