Change links from site relative to document relative

Hi Folks,

I'm afraid I've messed up again! I've churned out a pile of pages - master,
detail confirmation etc etc for an adim menu and in my haste I waited til the
end to test them.

To my horror I now find all the links are site relative and not document
relative as I need.

Does anyone know a quick way I can change this or do I need to work through
each link by hand?

Cheers


Dave

Edit > Preferences > Manage Sites > (Select site in question) > Advanced
Tab, click on Links relative to Document.
Or Site/manage sites, same thing.
I'm fairly sure this will change all your files as I did the same thing. If
it doesn't somebody will correct me.

Why do you feel you need document relative links?

Guys,
I have a similar problem - I've inherited an intranet "site" (btw it runs off
a shared network drive - ie not a server, if that makes a difference).

Some of the links are doc-relative, some are absolute. It's a total mess.
The main problem is dead links - eg I find links like
'file:///C:/Some_guys_local_folder/etc' peppered through the site.

Is there way to convert all absolute paths within a given site into doc
relative, or will I have to do it by hand? (I can't find "Links relative to
Document" in Jo's post).

More info - The pages weren't created in DW originally (probably Front Page,
or by people converting Word docs to HTML). I've tried to bring some order in
by defining a site in DW, and using doc-relative paths for new pages, but these
'remnants' are taking a lot of time to clean out. At what point do I say to my
manager, "Let's just wait until I get the new site finished"?

Cheers,
D.

Now? No, I didn't think you'd go for that.... 8)

Get and install this extension:
relativity from Jason Delgarno

http://e7x.com/dw/

It has a dialog box and help files and it will change a single page, folder,
or sitewide from one method to the other.
