Some functionality in sites may only be supported on Internet Explorer for Windows. When a site contains functionality not supported on all supported browsers, the site description will contain a note indicating this, and there will be an alternate page option which does not contain the functionality. NetPublish client: - Windows-Uninstalling NetPub won't uninstall "Preview" folder located in "My Documents" Portfolio 7 Create Webpages: - Some additional files are being exported, including unnecessary stylesheets in the resources folder and a libraries folder containing a .np file with NetPublish JavaScript. These files can be deleted without negatively impacting your website. NetPublish Sites/Server: - If a site or page xml file has been opened in Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver must be closed in order for NetPublish to delete the site. If dreamweaver is left open, the site remains on the system, even when it no longer displays in NetPublish administration. - Installing to a location other than the default location is not supported. - Displaying the "Path" field in any page of a site is not supported at this time. - You will need to assign the service a user account that can access network volumes if required. By default the service is given local system privileges only. See the NetPublish user guide for complete details - Assigning a new listening port after install requires a restart of the www publishing service and the NetPublish service. - Windows users-The Temp folder under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\ should be cleaned out regularly, as temporary .npt files are written to that directory. -To remove additional page styles created, you must manually remove the page folder from your hard drive. -Sites created using the Create Webpages feature in the Portfolio client are not supported in NetPublish.
