Custom Page Upload

To upload a custom page from your local computer for use in your store:

If you know the pathname of the file that you want to upload, type it in the first box. Otherwise, click Browse to navigate to the file.

If you want to give the custom page file a different file name on the ShopSite server, type the new name in the second box. You can give it a long, descriptive name, but it can't have spaces in the name (use periods or underscores instead) and it must have the .html suffix.

Note:

ShopSite automatically puts custom page files in the smarthtml directory under the store’s output directory, and it will only look there when publishing the store. ShopSite ignores subdirectories below the smarthtml directory.

Click File Upload. The upload process starts and your file is added to your smarthtml directory. When the upload completes, you will be back at the Custom Pages screen, and you will see the new file in the list.

Alternate Ways of Uploading Files

The upload feature is convenient for uploading files one at a time, but FTPing is more convenient for large batches of files. All of your custom page files are stored in the smarthtml subdirectory of your store's Output directory. The pathname is shown on the Custom Pages screen. Ask your host administrator to set up FTP access for you to that directory, and then you can use FTP software to upload several files in one operation.
