I am trying to upload a new site in place of an existing one. The domain name and everything is already set. The old site how ever was built using asp files, so when I upload my html files, they don't link (going to the homepage only works if the homepage is .asp instead of .html, but that means none of my other pages will go back to that because all the links are html). I am using Filezilla, too. How can I change it to look for .html instead of .asp? Hopefully this makes sense, I have not encountered .asp files until now, so I am trying to figure out how this works.
If you don't have something server-based like form or input tags, then just rename the file from sth.html to sth.asp. It could work at least loading the page. If you have form tags or server-side part, then you have to edit your html code to asp grammar. Did I understand your question right?

I know this is probably a very basic/obvious thing, but I'm new to Shopify and trying to assist a client while a colleague is on vacation. I know what I need to change and how to change it, but not how to access it. When I go to Online Store and click Edit Code, I see all the Liquid, JSON, and even CSS files, but I can't find the HTML file I need to edit, nor can I find any of the HTML I need to edit within the theme.liquid file. The resources I'm finding are all either outdated (there is no "Edit HTML/CSS" option on the dropdown anymore) or unhelpful (like this). I can see the HTML in the console and upon clicking View Page Source, but I don't know how to get to it through Shopify. I feel like I'm losing my mind because this HAS to be very simple and obvious. If someone could please tell me how to access and edit the HTML file on Shopify I would be VERY grateful!
The html files are the liquid files.
There are no actual HTML files since this is a Shopify theme.
Depending on your theme, your files are located in:
theme.liquid - here are the header and footer
templates/*.liquid - all liquid files here are the main templates for the different pages
sections/*.liquid - the files here are usually used on the homepage and other pages as well
snippets/*.liquid - these are the reusable code snippets
So depending on your changes you will need to go through these files and update them for the specific changes.
Please have in mind that these files may be used on multiply pages and if you change one of them there is a possibility that this will affect other pages as well.
So I am editing code for a job- the files are old html css and shtml files. So all the html files have matching shtml files. When I download the files and put in my sublime text editor the outcome looks different then the real thing. And when I load them to a test site they look even more different. What is going on I am very confused.
this is the original site
When I load them in sublime the navigation on the left side is not there at all. but works the same.
this is the test site I loaded the site to
anyone have any idea on what is really going on with this? Its a basic cpanel too.
You have the div <class="sidebanner-frontpage"> nested within <div class="container-content-sidebar"> in one site, but not in the other. This is changing its layout.
Your web server is giving precedence to the ".html" pages. The ".html" pages have server side includes in them and they are not being rendered. You should take the ".html" pages out or include the sections manually that are included using SSI.
See this SO article for more information on shtml: What is shtml
I am trying to edit the following page: http://tktruck.com/contact.aspx in order to get rid of the cat photos.
Apparently there is no contact.aspx file in the FTP, so I am having trouble figuring out how to edit this page's content.
Some additional information:
I have access to the back-end (FTP files). I have searched the FTP for contact.aspx, and I cannot find the file. I have tried searching the entire website for tags with the appropriate sources, as well. I found some code with the image tags, and removed those tags. When I uploaded the code to the server, the images were still there (and still are).
Does anyone know what I have to do to edit an aspx file, or at least have an idea on how to remove these photos?
You need to get access to the server in which the website is hosted.
I'm downloading one page from reddit and saving it locally:
http://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/2uomrv/meta_sjws_are_reportedly_working_with_admins_to/
The HTML is identical in my test.html file, but when I open the local file in a browser, the page display is all messed up. Right Nav disappears, etc.
Normally I'd assume this is a CSS issue (and it definitely could be) but there are only three CSS files in the document, and they are all hosted remotely on www.redditstatic.com -- so they should still be working, right?
Is there something else I'm missing? Is redditstatic somehow smart enough to not serve CSS when I request it from my local machine?
What else could be causing the display issues? How should I troubleshoot?
Reddit uses external CSS, JavaScript, etc. to make it look as feel as it is. The website won't function correctly unless you download them all, even locally because the HTML doesn't know where to find the called file.
I have this theme http://themes.two2twelve.com/site/fluidapp/light/ installed on my website running wordpress. I converted the template to a wordpress theme by following the steps here: http://thethemefoundry.com/blog/html-wordpress/ and its all working fine.
However, I have now been given the crazy task to integrate a "Back button" function in it.
What they want is to have some sort of Back button functionality (or the browser one) so when they open Team and they press Back - they go back to Home. The template is basically one-paged, you can see so in the source code.
One way I can see this happening is if I make every page a different .php file, upload them to my theme folder and then just hyperlink them. like www.yoursite.com/team.php
Another possible way (I think) would be to create a page.php template file and then post the pages using wordpress. Question: How do I tell wordpress to use page.php as the page template file?
Can you think of another way to integrate this functionality? Thanks a lot in advance.
If it always is going to return the user to the startpage you could just use the home_url(); function.
Back
If you got more advance structure and you want the button to just redirect the user back one page, you should use javascript.
Back
page.php is the default template for wordpress pages. So if no other is selected in admin, page.php will be used.
If you're using javascript to load the new content, you could use javascript pushState()and popState() to log the stuff to new url's, and it gets added to the browser history. Here's an example.
