New images keep getting replaced with old ones

Postby woody » Sun Nov 13, 2011 8:30 am

I downloaded my shopsite index page and a couple of product pages and made the necessary changes to images. The images show up correctly. I then upload them back to my shopsite store and they show up fine there, for a few minutes. I can come back 10 minutes later and all of the original images are back. Any ideas?

More info in case needed. Shopsite Pro V 11. Lauren placed some images on the site for me that I uploaded. I am replacing those images with ones of the exact same size and placement. I ftp to my site and downloaded index.html to my desktop and opened it in dreamweaver. I uploaded the new images via shopsite's image upload. I then made the changes to index.html in dreamweaver, clicked refresh and all the images show correctly. I upload the index.html page back to shopsite, replacing the original, and all the images show correctly in the shopsite store. I even made a couple of changes to products and published the store and everything is stil fine. I come back 5-10 later and all the images that I replaced with new ones are back to the old original ones. I thoght maybe I did something wrong, so I did it all again. Same thing happened. Here are the lines I replaced in index.html:

original <img src="http://lapepperexchange.com/shopsite/media/Banner.png" alt="Banner.png" width="225" height="86" border="0"><br>

replaced with <img src="http://lapepperexchange.com/shopsite/media/rte_ban.png" alt="rte_ban.png" width="225" height="86" border="0"><br>

any ideas. My buddy I'm helping out is having a coniption fit and wants his store up today. The staff is off on the weekends (deservedly so), so I'm hoping someone here can help me.

Are you publishing your pages in ShopSite or are you publishing them with Dreamweaver? You can't do it with both because when you publish with ShopSite it will overwrite any file with the same filename as what you have assigned to the page in ShopSite.

If using Dreamweaver with ShopSite it should be used to define the look of your ShopSite pages. Then create a custom template from that look to use in ShopSite. The other option is to Dreamwever to create all of your pages and use he ShopSite Order Anywhere feature to create links which you place on your Dreamweaver created pages that will add your products to the shopping cart.
