In the folder where you installed Friday, the installer creates the following files and folders:
File or Folder | Description |
FRIDAY.EXE | The main Friday program file |
FRIDAY.INI | A data file used by Friday |
\HELP | Folder where Friday's Tutorial/Help files are stored |
\Template | Folder where Friday's Template Folders are stored |
\Template\ (various) | Subfolders of \Template; where actual Template files are stored. Each template folder can contain MAIN.TPL, ANSWER.TPL and FULLFAQ.TPL files along with others (graphics files, etc.) |
When you create a new FAQ with Friday, you pick a folder to store the FAQ in. Within that folder, Friday creates:
File or Folder | Description |
FRIDAY.FQA | Where your settings for this FAQ are stored |
\FAQ | Folder where Friday stores the contents of your FAQ -- questions, answer files, template files, etc. |
\FAQ\FRIDAY.TXT | A list of questions/headings and the names of the answer files that make up your FAQ |
\FAQ\FAQ*.TXT | The individual files where answers are stored. Each file is individually numbered. |
\FAQ\*.TPL | The template files which control what your FAQ looks like on the web (ie, as HTML) |
\HTML | Folder where Friday stores the HTML files it generates from your FAQ, graphics files, etc. |
By default, inserted files are assumed to be stored in \FAQ but you can insert them from other folders as well.
You can also specify alternate names/locations for the template files and/or specify that your answer/html files begin with something other than FAQ.
Your HTML files can end in optional extensions other than HTM as well.
To get a list of your questions and the names of the files the answers are stored in, hold down the Shift key while you click Question
