Output Options

Fig 1. Output options window

Output options specify location and properties of output site map files. Starting with version 4.0 SiteXpert can either save output files on a local or network disk, or upload them to an FTP server.

Upload to local or network drive - Tells SiteXpert to save all output files on a local or network drive

Upload to an FTP server - Tells SiteXpert to upload all output files to an FTP server

Server address - Specify the address of an FTP server here.

Port - Port for the FTP connection. Usually the default value of 21 will be correct.

Login and Password - Your login name and password for the FTP connection.

Use proxy server (firewall) - Select this option if you are behind a firewall and cannot connect directly to the FTP server (click the 'Proxy settings' button to specify detailed options).

Output format - Specifies how SiteXpert should output the HTML code. This can be one of the following values:

HTML page - Outputs all code directly into the output page

PHP include - Outputs all code into an .inc file which is then included on the output page with a single PHP include command

ASP include - Outputs all code into an .inc file which is then included on the output page with a single ASP include command

SSI include - Outputs all code into an .inc file which is then included on the output page with a single SSI include command

FrontPage template - Outputs all code into an .inc file which is then included on the output page with a single FrontPage include command

ColdFusion template - Outputs all code into an .inc file which is then included on the output page with a single ColdFusion include command

Remove or add suffix to links - Click to go to the suffix builder for links, identical to the suffix builder found in Layout Wizard's advanced options. Only this time suffix changes will be applied to links in site map items. For instance, let's say we want to change the location of our site map from http://MyWebSite.com/sitemap.html to http://MyWebSite.com/sitemap/index.html. First, we need to change output file name to index.html, and add a suffix rule that will add the '../' prefix to all links. Now the link 'folder/file.html' will be automatically changed to '../folder/file.html' which will be correct for the new location of the site map. You may use the suffix builder to easily change site map links from absolute to relative or vice versa.

Main output page name - Name of the output HTML page (default: sitemap.html). Please specify file name only without a path.

Upload directory for HTML files - Depending on your choice between local or FTP upload, this is the FTP or local directory where the HTML pages generated by SiteXpert will be saved (uploaded).
Note: If your layout contains relative paths, the links in the generated site map will be invalid unless you set this option to the root directory of the mapped web site. If you want the links to be always valid (no matter where the site map is uploaded), make sure you don't use relative paths (you can use Layout Wizard options or Suffix Builder to control this).

Images directory - Specifies the HTTP path to directory containing images generated by SiteXpert. This can be an absolute path (e.g. "/images" or "http://www.mydomain.com/images"), relative path (e.g. "images"), or you can leave this field empty to generate images in the same directory as output HTML files. The value of this field should be the HTTP representation of the directory specified in the field "Upload directory for images".

Upload directory for images - Depending on your choice between local or FTP upload, this is the FTP or local directory where the images generated by SiteXpert will be saved (uploaded). This directory should reflect the path specified in the field "Images directory".

Scripts directory - Specifies the HTTP path to directory containing scripts (JavaScript files) generated by SiteXpert. This can be an absolute path (e.g. "/js" or "http://www.mydomain.com/js"), relative path (e.g. "js"), or you can leave this field empty to generate scripts in the same directory as output HTML files. The value of this field should be the HTTP representation of the directory specified in the field "Upload directory for scripts".

Upload directory for scripts - Depending on your choice between local or FTP upload, this is the FTP or local directory where the scripts (.js files) generated by SiteXpert will be saved (uploaded). This directory should reflect the path specified in the field "Scripts directory".

CGI Scripts directory - Specifies the HTTP path to the directory containing CGI scripts (usually this should be "cgi-bin"). This should be an absolute path (e.g. '/cgi-bin' or 'http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin'). The value of this field should be the HTTP representation of the directory specified in the field 'Upload directory for CGI scripts'.

Upload directory for CGI scripts - Depending on your choice between local or FTP upload, this is the FTP or local directory where the CGI script and database files generated by SiteXpert will be saved (uploaded). This directory should reflect the HTTP path specified in the field 'CGI Scripts directory'.
