Changing the Designer's Path

Background

The Designer is a tool which lets you update a webpage in-place, while it is online.  By default, the Designer is configured to point to a folder named 'CustomClient'.  This is the root folder which contains all the template files for your custom website. 

Changing the Default Configuration

You can configure the Designer so that it points to any folder in your website, or any even folder on your hard drive (assuming you have read access).  To do this, create a new IIS virtual directory, pointing the Local Path to the folder which you want to access through the Designer.  Then update the ePortfolio website's configuration file, WebClntCfg.xml, changing "CustClientVirDir" node to have the name of the newly created virtual directory.  Be sure to preceed the name of the new virtual directory with a forward slash ("/") in the config file.  Finally, restart IIS.  When you log back in and access the Designer, you should see all the files and folders located in the new virtual directory.
