2024-07-11FIXING FILES AND CATEGORIES

I’m working on getting the Files and Categories synced properly. Making sure that:

  • Every files in the Master List is on the site
  • Every file is listed in the proper Category
  • All file links are correct
  • All .ZIP files are up-to-date

That was an almost impossible task on the old site since it was purely manual and errors crept in over the years and were hard to track down. I spent much of today checking the Master List of files, recompiling a full list, ensuring the names were regularized and then built a new list for the site.

I’m going to be recopying the files from the Master List to a Server drive, rebuilding the .ZIP files for each category then moving them onto the Website Server. Once I get them moved I’ll swap out the Library directory with the new one and reimport the Files database.

I won’t need to take the site down but it may be a bit sluggish during the file copying.
