Home page	Can't Post

I'm new to Article Manager and trying to figure out if I have my file structure set up correctly. I followed the instructions but http://www.tiffinbodyworks.com/artman/publish/index.shtml seems to be my homepage, and I'd obviously want it to be http://www.tiffinbodyworks.com/index.html is there an easy way of doing this or do i need to set the index.html file up to redirect to the other files?

Hi ablackburn,

Thanks for the forum post Smile

.

I actually recommend you set the index.html file in the web root folder to redirect to the /artman/publish/index.shtml file than try to move the Publish folder to the web root. In every installation I do for a client I always set the Publish folder to /artman/publish (unless client specifically requested otherwise). I do this mainly to keep the site tight and organized, so you know what content is controlled by what script. If Article Manager is the only thing you got running then it isn't an issue, but I've seen sites running 10+ scripts at a time and in such an environment it can be a real headache.

I've attached a index.html page you can use in your site. It'll automatically redirect users to /artman/publish/index.shtml. If you place this on the web root folder it'll work as intended! Cool

I hope it works out for you, and if you have other questions please let me know.
Cheers,

Hi ablackburn,

Thanks for posting! :)

It looks like the redirect file wasn't attached to the forum properly. What you'll want to do is create an index.html file and include the following source code:

Code

 <html> 
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.tiffinbodyworks.com/artman/publish/index.html">  
</html>

An alternative method for outputting Article Manager's Front Page as your home page would be to place an index.shtml file in your web root. This index.shtml file would use an SSI to include the full source of your /artman/publish/index.shtml file.

We actually have a tutorial on this titled "Making Article Manager's Front Page your homepage". You can read over it here:

If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know! :)
