The Dynamic Content config folder


    The config folder contains vital files that GoLive uses to support dynamic content on your Web site. The folder is automatically added to your site folder if you make your site dynamic. All of the files in this folder are processed only on the server. None are ever sent to the browser as part of serving dynamic pages. The config folder contains several subfolders:

    • The actions folder contains files that make it possible to control a shopping cart, or to update, delete, or edit records in an online database using a Web-based front end. You do not need to modify these files or add new files in this folder unless you are creating a custom dynamic content extension. These files must, however, be present in the site for dynamic pages to function properly.
    • The datasources folder contains special files that are used to access server databases (data sources). Creating or modifying data sources within GoLive creates or modifies files in this folder. You can also place Microsoft Access database files (.mdb files) directly in this folder, if the site is an ASP-based site.
    • The include folder contains files with code used by GoLive on the pages your create so the pages can support dynamic content. You do not need to modify these files or add new files in this folder unless you are creating a custom dynamic content extension. These files must, however, be present in the site for dynamic pages to function properly.
    • The info folder contains pages that let GoLive obtain information about the data sources installed in your Web site. GoLive uses the pages in this folder only as part of the page creation and editing process. Your pages, when served live, do not use these pages, and they do not need to be present on a production server.
