The Structure of a Fastpage Site

A Fastpage application is loaded onto a web server in a folder off the public_html (site root) called 'Fastpage'

The structure is as follows:-

 The Fastpage directory contains the 'Parsing Engines' responsible for reading a template, replacing the entity place holders with information from the database.

Templates
The Templates created are uploaded into the 'templates' folder by Fastpage, but read by the parsing engines as if they were located in the 'fastpage' folder.
Images
Any images uploaded by Fastpage are stored in a folder called 'images'
For any graphics not uploaded by Fastpage we suggest you create a folder off fastpage called graphics and FTP the images directly into this folder.

When you create a fastpage site on your own local computer for the purposes of creating templates we suggest you create a sub folder off your siteroot where you web files are located and create the templates in the 'fastpage' directory as opposed to the site root.
When the templates are uploaded these are stored in the templates directory, but the parsing engine creates the HTML output on the fly as if the template file was located in the fastpage directory.
