Publishing pages from Panel?

[Aledgio]

Hello,
I am on very short notice, taking over from someone,and I would appreciate any help...I plan to use Macro media Contribute 3 for editing pages, uploading by ftp. I brought a file folder up to the server and it shows in File Manager, how do I publish it from there and add to navigation system? I do not want to publish from Dream weaver as apparently you loose the option to preview from edit mode and can only see page when published.
Thank you,
Aledgio

If you have uploaded a file folder on the server, all you have to do is have it in a web-accessible location (within the www directory sub-tree) in order for the files in the folder to be visible. Say, you have a folder named 'folder1'. If you upload the folder to www/folder1, than the files would be visible under the http://www.yourdomain.com/folder1/ url.

However, I am afraid I didn't quite get some parts of your question. What do you mean by I do not want to publish from Dream weaver as apparently you loose the option to preview from edit mode and can only see page when published. ?

Generally, Dreamweaver generates a preview each time a change is made to a page, except for the cases when you have some dynamic content, like a php script, and you do not have a php interpreter on your local pc.

Regarding navigation, you should use Dreamweaver, or some other html editor in order to modify the current navigation code to inclulde links to the new pages. There is no way to do that automatically via the cPanel->File Manager, since it is not an html editing tool. It does include some html generation tools, but not the ablitity to automatically correct navigation code.
