We designed WebCatalog (and the sample sites) so that they can be URL-relative and moved anywhere. The idea is that everything is inside the WebCatalog folder mostly to prevent clutter in your WebSTAR folder -- we hate products that force you to dump everything at the root. So yes, even though our sample sites are inside WebCatalog's folder, you can put folders anywhere you like.We went to huge effort to make templates and databases URL-relative, so that you can collect your various projects inside folders as a means of organizing your site. That's why, in a template that has some WebDNA with db=xx.db it looks for the xx.db file in the same folder as the template itself. That way you can move and rename that folder and the 'project' inside it will still all work. The only URL you need to change is the first one that gets you inside the folder.Of course, if you have databases or templates that are 'global' to all your projects, you can refer to them URL-absolute, as in db=/WebCatalog/GeneralStore/taxes.db.We also went to huge effort to use HTML-style references to files, such as ../../hello.tmpl, so that you don't have to worry about Mac-specific : as a path separator, and also so your WebDNA ports to Windows NT with no changes whatsoever.Well, so much for patting our own backs...there are bugs to find and fix!Grant Hulbert, V.P.
