Building A Site Map Using Graphical Views - Adobe GOLIVE CS2 User Manual

Customizing view colors
When you change settings in the View palette for a site's navigation and links views, the changes persist the next time
you display the same site. For example, when you close and reopen the site, GoLive uses the View palette settings for
the panes shown in the site's navigation view. You can use this feature to customize your site views for each site.
You can also use the Site Settings dialog box to set the colors of individual parts of the site views, such as the
background colors of the individual panes or the colors of items and links.
To change color settings of site views
1 Do one of the following:
To change colors for all new sites, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS),
•
expand Site in the left pane, and then click Diagram Colors in the left pane.
• To change colors for the active site only, click the Site Settings button
In the Site Settings dialog box, click Diagram Colors in the left pane, and then select Site Specific Settings to
override the settings in the Preferences dialog box.
Note: If you want the colors in the Preferences dialog box to apply to an existing site, open the site and make sure Site
Specific Settings is deselected in the Site Settings dialog box.
Click the lower right corner of the color field for any item you want to change, and choose a color from the list of
2
swatches that appear.
3 Click OK.

Building a site map using graphical views

Building a site in navigation view
If you start with a blank site, it's a good idea to begin building the site in a navigation view. You begin by building its
structure, arranging empty pages in a hierarchy of unresolved pending links starting with links from and to the home
page. At a later stage of site-building when the pages have content, you can resolve these pending links by creating
links that reflect them.
This structural approach is also useful for adding new groups of pages to developed sites. You simply anchor the
structure of empty pages to an "away" page—a page at the site other than the home page.
Adding empty pages and pending links to a hierarchy
The generic pages you add to a navigation view are blank HTML pages. Such pages have the file name untitled or
untitledn. For information on renaming them, see "Naming files and folders" on page 211.
Note: Generic pages are blank but contain the basic HTML tags required to form an HTML page.
Pages added are either pages with unresolved pending links or scratch pages. A scratch page has no pending links of
any kind. You would add scratch pages to a navigation hierarchy simply to make it easier to link them to the hierarchy
as a later step.
