I've published a skeletal site on InstantPro using a subdomain (which seemed to be an acceptable option during the site creation process) but after several days wait it's still not found on tinternet.
I have definitely made the site live.
..or am I doing something wrong?
I'll raise a ticket if you need to look into this further.
thanks

Hi Eccles,
I did that when I was trying it out and saw that .zip was a supported file type. Perhaps there should be a sub-note about what is allowed within the zip.
Supported File types (by file extension) are shown below.
.gif .jpg .jpe .jif .jpeg .png .doc .ppt .htm l.txt .docx .docm .dotx .xls .xlsx .xlsm .xltx .xltm .xlsb .pptx .pptm .ppsx .ppsm .potx .potm .sldx .odt .ott .oth .odm .odg .otg .odg .otg .odp .otp .ods .ots .odc .odf .odb .pdf .rtf. epub .lrf [b].zip[/b] .rar .ex4 .mid .midi..epub ..mobi .flv .m4v .3gp .swf .dir .dcr .dxr .qt .qtc .qtl .mp3 .mpeg .mpg .mp4 .avi .wmv .asf .smx .wvx .wma .rm .ra .ram .rv .rmvb .ogg .oga .ogv
I'll look at the external URL but tbh that's kind defeating the object of having everything on a single site. I might as well go away and build my own.
Thanks anyway.

Hi JTD ...
Have been following this thread and checked out my site (hosted by Freeola) which has downloadable content (.exe files) contained within a zip file and all is well. Guess this only applies to an Instant Pro site then.

Thanks DL,
I suspect that is the case.
I was trying to avoid writing yet another web site but it looks like I'm going to have to. Ho hum.. better get on with it.

You would then FTP the zipped exe to the downloads URL and update the InstantPro site to reference them.
I guess you're trying to do something specific so this might not be what you are after though... :¬)
Another option depending who your target audience is, would be to rename the exe in the folder to something allowable and put instructions for the visitor to rename the file once they've downloaded it.

I did think of that option but didn't want to mess on with two subdomains - though thinking it over again, it doesn't seem too much different from uploading to a single site once I'd got the links sorted out. I might come back to this approach.
Anyway - I've scrubbed the InstantPro site (for now).
My end users don't want to be renaming files...plus I think I've seen before where spam/malware filters can detect a program filewithin a zip regardless of what it's called.

I will look into doing this shortly.
I will look into doing this shortly.
Hopefully the InstantPro JavaScript plugin is still above it on your TTDL ;¬)

My Freeola InstantPro Site JS plugin...might be able to get onto that shortly, but not for the current editor, something better might appear:)
At least I've brought a little bit of something good into the world.
