Default view absolute (external) links in editing mode - 07-07-2004 , 04:38 PM






I'm trying to create a template for an html email -- all the images need
absolute links (http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg)

Is there anyway to see the images when I edit the template in Dreamweaver?

thanks,
Joshua

this older message may help:
Two tips on this:

Assuming that this the images are in the current Site-
1) Let dw know what the full path to your site is:
Dw menu-->Site-->Edit Site or Manage Site
Select that site, press Edit

Click the "Advanced" tab at top, because it's quicker to find things.

Click "Local Info" in the category list on left.

Fill in the "HTTP Address" line with the address you use.
http://mysite.com
http://www.mysite.com
or
http://www.myhost.com/mysite

Now dw will treat absolute paths that are within your site as local paths.
{As Long As the images and links exist on your hd in the Local Site Folder,
they will display in Design view, and dw will manage the links if you rename
or move things}

2) install this extension to change linking methods with a click of a
button:
If you want to quickly change links to a different linking method- install
the Relativity Extension.
http://e7x.com/dw/ Relativity ext.
or here
http://www.microwaved.plus.com/dw/

(this Extension means you can make relative links in dreamweaver while doing
the layout, and then presto change all of them to full http:// links without
hand typing thedomain name or doing a find and replace)
