Regarding the "publishing all following pages also published pages UP the tree" problem, like Emily said, if you have tree structure of
A -> B -> C-> D-> B publishing all following from D also results in publishing of B, C, D again, B again...don't worry, it stops after the 5th loop I heard. Also, this could be lead to other problems. Say, publication package under A tells B to publish to folder A, publication package under D tells B to publish to folder D. Well, page B will get published to both folder A and D. Google ranking and other SEO can consider this as link spamming. Further more, you have many other pages that are like B, connected in multiple locations with multiple publication packages. Even the best "clean up live server" list will get confused over time. I know I will. "My god, I have 1000+ pages on the site, and I need to fix it by Monday!" You said. I have just the plugin that will check all pages for you and all it costs is a phone call to OpenText support asking for it. "Well, you are wrong, I fixed all the aforementioned multiple connections and the problem persist!" You said. Well, I wouldn't be a successful forum troll without plan #2. In your navigation code, do you use CurrentIndex.GetUrl() or CurrentPage.GetUrl()? CurrentIndex.GetUrl() generates links of referenced page type, which page builder/publisher will NOT crawl. CurrentPage.GetUrl() generates links of connected page type, which page builder/publisher will crawl. I would assume you are using CurrentPage.GetUrl(). When page B is individually published, it is published. When page A is published using all following pages option, then the following is considered by page builder/publisher. Page B is connected to page A via lst_navigation, but it is never rendered in navigation, hence there is no way to get to the page via links from other pages, so the page shouldn't exist on the web server. What? It is on the web server? DELETE! If you are using CurrentIndex.GetUrl(), I hope you have included <!--<! IoRangeList><%lst_Navigation%><!/IoRangeList>--> in your foundation template, else same problem.
