Can you publish to an existing website?

I am thinking of purchasing the bundle.  For all you experts out there, can you publish to an existing website?

Re: Can you publish to an existing website?

Can you give more details as to what you have already and what you want to do?

Generally though, yes. I first started with a TTG gallery plug-in just to get some galleries online. I eventually replaced my old site with a complete TTG site.

Re: Can you publish to an existing website?

Thanks Ron for addressing this.  I have an existing site built in Adobe Muse and published with Mac Highway web hosting.  I would like to use the Turning Gate plug in to publish on a gallery page.

Re: Can you publish to an existing website?

The Publisher will publish galleries (albums) to a folder, not necessarily an existing page.
If you want Publisher managed galleries to automatically appear on a galleries page, then use TTG Autoindex as that page.

Since you're thinking of getting the bundle, you could also use Pages for a complete site, but it doesn't sound like you'd be using Pages.

Be sure to check to see that your hosting is compatible

Rod,
Sounds like it might be better just to link to a gallery site. I will contact my hosting provider and see if they support you guys
Thanks

Re: Can you publish to an existing website?

It probably would be. If you don't need Pages to create a complete site, use AutoIndex to create the Galleries page and Publish to that. Then just link to it from your main site.

I don't know anything about Mac Highway, but if it's a free hosting site there could be compatibility problems.

You can check this with the auto index verification script. Instructions and download are here: http://wiki.theturninggate.net/doku.php … ion_script

Re: Can you publish to an existing website?

I contacted Mac Highway and this is there response

The server your hosting account resides on does meet the requirements for the plugin.
It is a linux apache server, running PHP version 5.3.18.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
