Hi there,
After some pretty general advise please.
The company I work for looks after a lot of websites, and one of the
headaches we have is the best way to handle source files. By source files I'm
referring to Photoshop files, Flash .fla files and also other none Adobe
files that relate to a site, not the .html, .asp, .aspx, .css, .js etc type
files.
Now I'm NOT after a version control system, just a simple way to store the
source files in a location that is separate from the website but still to be
able to have a smooth workflow between the Dreamweaver site and it's source
files.
At the moment, and I know this is unwise, we have a subdirectory within the
site where we store the source files, and use WebDAV to transfer both site
and source files to and from the server. But I really want to separate the
site from source but still maintain a link between site and source...... if
you see what I mean. I think the upshot is I would like to be able to open a
site within Dreamweaver and instantly be able to access that sites source
files if needed. This method needs to be shared across a small team spread
round the UK.
I looked at the Repository Subversion version control, but like I said I'm
not after a source control system, plus it appeared to conflict with WebDAV
and Contribute, that some of our clients use to maintain content on their
sites. I also looked at Version Cue which looked promising, but can't see a
clear workflow between Dreamweaver and Version Cue which separates site from
source. I might be missing something.... part of my brain perhaps.
Would be grateful for any advice please.
Cheers,
