- Actually,
you don't need to publish your entire site once again to the cgi-bin
directory - just the pages from which you want the ads to be removed. So you
can leave all your pictures, the images folder, the _borders folders, infact
all other folders where they are. Simply transfer the htm files to the cgi-bin.
Note:
All pages containing FrontPage components must be uploaded to the cgi-bin.
Read more on FrontPage components below.
- If you
find that some of the pictures in your pages are not loading, relax. That's
no problem. Leave the pictures where they are, but the change their
source
from relative to absolute. This will be clear my means of this example:
EXAMPLE:
Suppose
you have a picture called logo.gif embedded in you file index.htm and you
find that this picture doesn't load when index.htm is loaded without ads.
RESOLUTION:
Change
the source
of the picture to the following: https://members.tripod.com/XXX/logo.gif.
By doing this, your pages will also load faster.
Where XXX
is the name of your domain, say mysite.
- All FrontPage
components
work perfectly well with no ads - and that we believe is the beauty of our
perl script.
Some of the most commonly used Frontpage components are:
Search Form
Discussion Web
Feedback Form.
To make a frontpage component work, before uploading your pages to the cgi-bin
directory, you have to change the link to the page containing the component
to the following:
https://members.tripod.com/XXX/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/cgi-bin/YYY.htm
Where,
XXX is your domain name say
mysite, and YYY.htm is the name of the
page containing the FrontPage component.
EXAMPLE: Suppose
the name of your domain is mysite and the name of the page containing a
search form is disc1_srch.htm. Then, wherever a link to disc1_srch.htm
appears, you have to change the link to,
https://members.tripod.com/mysite/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/cgi-bin/disc1_srch.htm
After having
done this, you upload your pages containing FrontPage components to the cgi-bin.
- The
following can be important
at times: Always name all your files in lower
case.
Also, the script doesn't support gaps in file names (for example a page
called my hobbies.htm will not be loaded by our script. So make sure that
there are no gaps in file names. Concatenate filenames using either the
underscore as in my_hobbies.htm, or eleminate gaps altogether as in
myhobbies.htm.
That's just
about it. Can't think of anything else right now. Don't forget to check out the
troubleshooting section for more information.
