Comic's gone =/

Okay... I've had this problem even since I started with Keenspace almost 1 1/2 year ago... it's the rant. Everytime I add a rant (.txt), upload on FTP, update on keenspace page, my page only shows the rant. The comic isn't there. It does, however, come when I update a new page or if you go previous and then next. I've tried using both the public_html folder and workspace, hoping to see some difference, but both do the same. I've also tried giving it different names, e.g. writing "20041224a.txt" or "lob20041224.txt", doesn't work. I've also tried making a JPG to a rant, doesn't work either. It's pretty much the same thing if I try to upload several images on one day, it just shows one.

If your rant has a date to remain "linked" to the comic of that day, you must upload your rant in workspace/comics along with the comic itself, not directly into workspace.

You mean put them in workspace folder together? Because if so that is what I do =/

Yeah, this is very freaky.
For example the most recent comic doesn't show up on the index page, but it does show here

And the html for the image simply isn't there on the index page!
If it was there, it could be rendered invisible by something from the page, but it just isn't there! That's something I'd think impossible, but apparently it happens.

Maybe it's some kind of bug in autokeen and you just stepped into it.

Okay, try this: replace the indextemplate with something simple
(as in "<html><body>***advertisement***<hr>***first_day******previous_day***<br> ***todays_comics***</body></html>" kind of simple)
And see if it works then.
If the image works, it must be something about your template- edit the template, write it from the scratch, or something.

If it doesn't work, it must be something about your site setup- try editing the info in http://siteadmin.keenspace.com
And if that doesn't work, contact Kisai or StrRedWolf.

I tried step one, it didn't work. I looked over step two in SiteAdmin, but I didn't see anythere that'd be stop the comic from showing :/ soo... who are Kisai and StrRedWolf and how do I contact them ^^;...?

the rant file must be with the comic in /workspace/comics, not /workspace.

But his rants do work, so he must be putting them in the right place.
The comics also work- in the archives, so they are in the right space.

The problem is: the rant shows on the main page, but the comic doesn't.

Now, I wouldn't bet on it, but I think I remember, that back in the old days, the siteadmin page had a checkbox "No comic on the index page" or something to that effect.
Perhaps he accidentally checked it years ago, and then it got carried to the current configuration, except now it's not on the page, so he can't uncheck it.

Is that possible?

Yup, what YarpsDat said... they are put in workspace/comics

Eh...? Plausible, back then I was confused by it all so might've been...

So is there a way to fix it...?

I only see the comic on your front page right now. Did you change it?

Buddha_the_god · Post by **Buddha_the_god** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 3:42 am

Well it works if I only upload the comic, but if I want to upload a rant, it only updates the rant... which is why I try to avoid rants as much as possible

Sorry for bumping this, but better than starting a new, eh =D?

You could try PMing Kisai (again)

umm.
Start with explaining that you do upload the files in the correct location.
That they DO show up in the archives, but DO NOT show up on the index page.

(She probably gets hundreds of these messages and doesn't have time to check all the details in all of them. Especially since in most of cases it is just the user misspelling the filename and other trivial things like that.)

Okay I'll do so ^^
