Replacing earlier comics

Post by Amtekoth »

I want to replace 6 or 7 of my earlier Lab Bratz comics with updated versions (improved lettering). If I delete the comics in my public folder and manually update new versions that are labeled the same as the ones they replace, will there be a problem? Will they be in the proper order? Will they show up in the calendar as the current date or as the original dates? Is there a special order that I have to do this in? Any advice would be appreciated.

If the new comics are named exactly the same as the comics that you're replacing, you don't even need to worry about deleting the old ones; Autokeen will write over them. The comics will show up on the date you set (by naming the file). You can set the date to be in the past, no problem. The comics will show up in order if you date them in order.

I hope that made sense...

Just make sure both the new and old comics are of the same size (height and lenght wise), else the new comic will be cropped/stretched to match the old comic's size.

Or, if you'd prefer to be sure...

1) Delete the old comics from \public_html\comics
2) Delete the old html from \public_html\w
3) Upload your comics into \workspace\comics (named appropriately for the dates you're replacing)
4) Do a manual update. 'Regular Update' will work here.

Autokeen will regen the html files and upload the images.

That's /public.html/d, if I remember right?
