Tutorials/Changing Text
From CGWiki
There are two ways to add comments to your comic.
- Placing a text file in the workspace/comics folder (displayed with the ***todays_comics*** Keentag)
- Placing a text file in the workspace/data/notes folder (displayed with the ***todays_notes*** Keentag)
However, what do you do if you realize you've made a mistake after it's up on the server?
Correcting text after it's been uploaded
Fortunately, this is relatively easy to do. For this example, the word "date" will be used in place of an actual name. File names will normally be in the YYYYMMDD.jpg format.
- Get your new date.txt file ready (remember which of the two ways you use for correct name usage).[1]
- Move the date.jpg comic image from the public_html/comics folder back to the workspace/comics folder OR upload the comic image to the workspace/comics folder again.
- Upload the date.txt file to the appropriate folder in the workspace section (workspace/comics for ***todays_comics*** text, workspace/data/notes folder for ***todays_notes*** text).
- Delete the html file from the public_html/d folder (the one with the same date in the name as the comic image - date.html).
- Trigger a regular update (or a full update if the comic is more than 3 months old) OR wait for your comic to update normally.
Basically, you need to remove the old html code with the incorrect text and get the server to re-do the code.
Also, if the comic is still on the main page, you can just do an index update instead of a regular update.
[1] If you use the ***todays_comics*** Keentag for the comments. then the text file would be dateA.txt or dateB.txt depending on whether you want the comments above or below the comic (and the comic would be dateB.jpg or dateA.jpg, whichever the text file isn't). If you use the ***todays_notes*** Keentag, then the text file is simply named date.txt as it goes in a different folder.
