Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

having problems with creration of a project website. The website publishes ok but only seems to create level 1 of the WBS. When accessing the website from my PC it works fine and would appear to access the C drive for the WBS info. When another person accesses the website from another PC they can only see the level 1 activity details.
I have modified the WBS layout to expand all levels.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Colin

Yip - he was using version 5.0 on 2000 and I’m using version 6.0 on XP. Updraded his to version six and bobs yer uncle. Works fine.

Couldn’t find any info on this in the help file and Primavera help e-mail did not get back ...... surprisingly.


Cheers Dave

Heard you’ve got some Pe/c basic+advanced courses in 3days. Any dates in December ?

Is it possible yopu are using version 5.0 of internet explorer? You cannot drill down the WBS unless you have v5.5 or above

Makes no sense. We publish these things all the time, and never have any problems - suggest you ask tech support, or try to republish. If you get an answer I’d be interested to know what it is!

Sorry can’t help.

Copied the entire website folder contents onto the other users desktop and attempted to get him to open the index.htm file. It opens as before and all the website is displayed as well as activity layouts. The same story with the WBS though. He can only see level 1 and nothing below. I can access the website via my PC and see the lot. It sounds as though each time I click on a WBS level on the website my hard drive is clicking and it’s accessing the info straight from my PC.

Make sense ? thought not

Hmmm - you could try copying the whole web site onto his local drive to see if he still has the same problem - at least that will isolate or verify the problem. There were some issues which I can’t remember with shared files but I thought they had all been sorted out?

He’s using the index.htm link which shortcuts to a network folder where I have published the file to.

How is the person from the other PC accessing the website? Is he using index.html? All the website will be in the same directory on the target server, I believe, and no activity should happen at the client level. Also which version are you using?
