RAGE MapDesign & Rapidweaver

September 23rd, 2007

So we have gotten a lot of emails asking whether or not RAGE MapDesign can easily be used with Rapidweaver. It definitely can be, and it is actually quite easy. We have created a short movie to show exactly how it is done.

The point where most users were have trouble was due to specifying the correct paths to your image files. The following tutorial will show how to add your interactive image maps to Rapidweaver. Although this shows how to add Effects based (CSS) image maps, adding purely HTML image maps can also be done easily. If you are having trouble with that, please feel free to contact support and we will be more than happy to walk you through it, and if necessary create an accompanying video.


Update: As of version 1.2 you no longer need to edit the files to rename the images directory to assets. Just go to the Preferences in RAGE MapDesign and select ‘Create Rapidweaver compatible image maps’. This will automatically use an assets folder instead of an images folder.

    I can’t seem to get the relative links working with RAGE MapDesign. I designed a map with one hotspot. I set the Web Site Directory in the MapDesign Inspector at the folder on my hard drive which holds my RapidWeaver files. I set the hotspot’s Behavor -> Link To field to India/India.html, the relative path to the age I want to link to. I copied over the style and html code into my RapidWeaver page, as instructed. But when I click on the hotspot (a rectangle in India), I get the error: The requested URL /SamEuropeAfricaAsia/India/India.html was not found on this server. Why is it searching in SamEuropeAfricaAsia? It should look in /India/India.html, right? What have I done wrong?

    Try entering /India/India.html (with the / at the beginning) and see if that works.
