Specifying Website Address

Elements Beta Feedback
1

In Elements (like RapidWeaver) you have to specify the website address twice, once in Project Settings > General and then again in Project Settings > Publishing.

Given that you can setup different publishing destinations e.g. local and remote, it would be useful to give them different website addresses. However, this tends to conflict with the website address in Project Settings > General.

Would it be possible to either allow more than one website address in the General section or specify that it should use the website address in the Publishing section when publishing the website.

At the moment I have to use the same address in my local MAMP setup and on my remote production website. This means I can’t view both sites (local and remote) at the same time on the same Mac. I have to use my MacBook as an additional viewer for the remote site.

Can I bump this one up the list? :slight_smile:

Still unclear as to why the website address needs to be specified in two places: General and Publishing? It seems to be some sort of hangover from Rapid Weaver Classic.

I thought we used the beta forum for reporting issues?

The list Brian mentioned is for making suggestions for future development of Elements (you can see it as kind of a wish list). The beta forum is still the correct spot for reporting issues.

That’s why I posted it here as I see it as an issue. :slight_smile:
