Problem with Remote folder

TooTall · Post by **TooTall** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 9:26 am

Ok I installed the new client and it appears as an option for remote location in Dreamweaver.

Problem is this and it may be a problem of the way our Repositories are laid out.

When configuring the dreamweaver client to connect and point it at the repository, it always wants to add a folder name as the remote location in Vault Server.

how can I connect it to the existing folder structure, which by the way has the site root in the root of the repository, not in a subfolder in the repository, we have a seperate repository for each project.

Is there any way to fix this??

I'm not quite following. Can you give an example of what you are seeing?

Dan,

Here are two screenshots, one of the DW client and one of the regular client.

THe regular client show how the repository is laid out. It has files directly in the root.

The second one show the dw client, you see how whatever the site name is that's the folder name down below by the $/ ??

I need to be able to just have that say $/ and not $/Training_Recycle or in other words to make this work I would have to be able to leave the sitename field blank so the path below would just show $/

Hope that makes sense.

I see. This looks like a bug, and we'll have to look into it. The only workaround would be to move the site one level deeper in the tree.

That's what I thought but I can't actually move it deeper in the repository tree can I ????

I'm not aware of any way I can move an entire repository tree one folder deeper and still keep all my versioning info.

If this was just one repository it would be fine, but I have over 20 setup this way.

so in summary I need a way to point the DW client at the root of a repository.

Thanks
Paul

You can keep all your versioning info by creating a "$/Training_Recycle" folder than using the Move command (in the file menu) to move each folder and file. However, that would be a lot of work.

I'll report back when I have more info on the bug itself.

OK, after checking this out, the bug appears to cause no harm. The error message happens because it tries to create "$", and can't. However, the working folder gets set correctly, which is the important thing, and everything appears to work fine if you simply click OK on the error message.
