surpress generation warnings

[Landgreen]

Is it possible to surpress all warning messages during upload? I always tend to have files placed outside the acatalog directory, and during upload it will halt asking if i'm okay with me having 'src' pointing outside the acatalog directory. That kind of takes away the pleasure of automated upload.

I don't know of anyway to do this.

I have a product that automates catalog though and this clears these dialogs away automatically and allows the upload to continue unattended. See http://www.mole-end.biz/acatalog/Actinic_Moles.html for more details. The two that upload are the stock control mole and the exchange rate mole, both are configurable so you don't have to run the order download if you don't wish to. They have a 30 days trial so if you don't want to spend any money you could have a month off.

This is a very annoying message, and I have asked before for it not be non-turnoffable. (is that a word?)

The only thing I can recommend is to try using fullly-qualified URLs and Perl calls rather than just page names to point to pages in your site.

For example, rather than pointing to 'sitemap.html' point to

http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=sitemap%2ehtml

and use fully qualified urls in any links embedded within product or section descriptions.

Hope this helps.

I'll second that, this error message is annoying and meaningless.

I had it with one site , on it came, then off it went, then it came back again, luckily its now gone.....

I did not make any changes to src references during the time the message came and went

I have seen in the help files that Business & Developer have a command line feature. e.g.

"C:\Program Files\Actinic ecommerce v5\Catalog.exe" -u Site1
The code above uploads site1 with no user interaction (except for errors!)

A possible future request for three things:

1. Enable command line options for Catalog as well.

2. Add a quiet switch which supresses all warning and non-fatal error messages. e.g.
"C:\Program Files\Actinic ecommerce v5\Catalog.exe" -u -q Site1

3. Add a logging option which saves results of command line operation to a log file.
"C:\Program Files\Actinic ecommerce v5\Catalog.exe" -u -q -l Site1
Alternatively, have a verbose mode, where the results (error messages etc) are echoed back to the standard output device. Then output could be redirected to a log file.
e.g. "C:\Program Files\Actinic ecommerce v5\Catalog.exe" -u -q -v Site1 > c:\logs\actupload.log

Fine suggestions. I have added these to the wishlist.
