[ic] Subcategory Help?

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 14:12:21 -0500

John,

Either I'm blind, or we're talking about different areas where this auto-export
checkbox is supposed to be ;) I'm in the Design>SiteLayout when I
edit/add/delete Categories. The page says:

Layout Editor: Organize your site into categories

And I *don't* see any auto export checkmark. I looked at the akopia demo and
didn't see it there either, so obviously we are talking about two different
areas where you can edit categories, LOL! So which area am I supposed to be in
for this procedure:

|The reason your new categories are not showing up anywhere is Interchange does
|the search based on the txt file, and not the db file. So after you make any
|changes or additions to the area & cat database you must make sure you have
|exprted the db files. The simple way is to re-edit your new entry and
|click the update button at the bottom of the page making sure the
|auto-export is clicked.

I can take a screen shot of my SiteLayout area, if you can write me offlist with
your email address. Mine is ginakra@mail.com.

Thanks so much,
Gina

|You have gone too far down... It should be right at the bottom of the
|record you
|are editing. The button may even just say OK. The tick box for auto-export
|should be right next to it...
|
|Then for one added safety sake, when you are done your changes for that
|day/morning... Use the apply changes button at the very bottom of the screen.
