Hi ,

I`m trying to download this site: http://www.swiftleisure.com

OE Seems to have a problem with the products areas, for example if you click

PRODUCTS > ABBEY CARAVANS > then any Product range from the dropdown > then a model from the dropdown

at this last step it gives up and no matter what i can`t get it to download this ?

any ideas ?

Please download the updated Offline Explorer Pro version here:

http://www.metaproducts.com/download/betas/oep1529.zip

Replace the old oe.exe file with the new one. Now you will be able to enable forms processing in the Project Properties dialog | Advanced section and load these links.

Best regards,

Hi oleg,

I`ve tried the new file but it hasn`t made any difference. Any other ideas ?

OK. I just made few more improvements.

Here is the updated file:

http://www.metaproducts.com/download/betas/oep1532.zip

I would also ask you to add the following line to the URLs field:

Additional=ConvertPOSTToFileName

This will make correct filenames for all downloaded HTML form results.

Hi oleg,

Thanks - that did the trick - but it`s brought up another problem.

Although now the javascript links work when i`m looking at the site from the browser window within OE - once i export the site all the links stop working -

ie : in the browser window the link points to :
http://127.0.0.1:7000/Default/www.swiftleisure.com/s_pages/products/model.asp@brand=abbey&model=312&vanid=UKABAVEN312&vmflag=v&country=uk&range=AVENTURA@model=312&brand=abbey&country=uk&vmflag=v&range=AVENTURA

but once i export it that same link just goes to :
C:\Export\www.swiftleisure.com\s_pages\products\model.asp

It`s missing out all the extra part of the string, any ideas why this is happening on the export ?

Yes, the exported version will not work, because forms submissions require a server that processes the form. Offline Explorer uses its own internal server to overcome the problem.

Arrgh that`s a big problem for me :(

Does anyone know of any software that basically creates a webserver from an executable ? - i need to distribute a flat version of this site on cd, so the webserver built into OE isn`t much use to me...

I think, I could do that quite quickly. Can you write me to support@metaproducts.com ? We will discuss it.

Andy,

I still haven`t got your E-mail, so I used the address you used in the forum message and wrote you myself. Please reply that message.
