FP97: Web Publishing Wizard: No Prompt About WebBot Components

 Last reviewed: March 18, 1998
Article ID: Q160781
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
  • Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard version 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard to publish a Web, the wizard does not notify you that the following WebBot Components will operate only if the Server Extensions are installed:

  • WebBot Confirmation component
  • WebBot Discussion component
  • WebBot Registration component
  • WebBot Save Results component
  • WebBot Search component
  • FrontPage Server-side Image Maps

NOTE: This behavior is different from FrontPage 1.1. The FrontPage 1.1 Web Publishing Wizard displays a list of pages that will not function correctly without FrontPage Server Extensions. The FrontPage 1.1 Web Publishing Wizard will not function with FrontPage 97. In FrontPage 97, the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard is a FrontPage 97 Bonus Pack component.

CAUSE

These WebBot components require that the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed on the server. The Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard is not designed to detect the presence of these components.

MORE INFORMATION

FrontPage generates client-side and server-side image maps by default. The client-side image maps do not need the FrontPage server extensions to function. NCSA, CERN, and Netscape image maps will continue to work if you use them on both source and destination Webs. If you are using one of these image map types, server-side image maps will function correctly.

For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   TITLE     : FP1x: How to Use FrontPage Without the Server
               Extensions
If the destination server has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed, all WebBot Components should function correctly even if they are posted using the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard version 1.1.
