Upgrade Questions

FAQs about upgrading to NetObjects Fusion 2013

What versions of NetObjects Fusion can be upgraded to NetObjects Fusion 2013?

You can upgrade to NetObjects Fusion 2013 from any version of NetObjects Fusion! The NetObjects Fusion 2013 installer will automatically search for a previous version installed on your computer. If the installer does not find a previous version installed, you will be prompted for your previous version’s serial number.

I’m being prompted for a serial number during the upgrade. Why?

You must have a Full Version serial number, or have a previous Full Version of NetObjects Fusion already installed, to upgrade to NetObjects Fusion 2013. Click here for more information about serial numbers.

Where can I find my serial number for a previous version of NetObjects Fusion?

Your NetObjects Fusion serial number is located on the CD sleeve shipped in the box, or is included in the order confirmation e-mail that you received from the NetObjects Online Store. If you have misplaced your serial number, please contact our Support Center.

How do I move my websites from my previous version of NetObjects Fusion to NetObjects Fusion 2013?

Moving your sites to NetObjects Fusion 2013 is easy. We've put together migration instructions that will help you make the move as effortless and trouble-free as possible. If you experience any difficulties moving your sites from NetObjects Fusion 9, 10, or 11 feel free to contact our technical support department.

NetObjects suggests using templates for site migration when upgrading or moving your website projects. A template is a compressed copy of your site project that contains all assets used by your site. Web sites created in NetObjects Fusion can be migrated to NetObjects Fusion 2013 using the following procedure:

Save a backup copy and re-optimize your existing site:

  1. Open your site in your previous version of NetObjects Fusion.
  2. From the Tools menu, choose Save Site As.
  3. From the Tools menu, choose Re-Optimize.
  4. From the File menu, choose Save to ensure that the re-optimized site is saved.

Export your site as a Template:

  1. Switch to the Assets view to display all of the sites file assets.
  2. From the Assets menu, select Verify All File Assets.
  3. If you would like to remove unused file assets from your site, from the Assets menu select Delete All Unused File Assets. (This is recommended for optimum performance.)
  4. Switch to the Site view to show the site structure.
  5. From the File menu, choose Export as Template > Entire Site.
  6. In the dialog that appears, navigate to your Templates folder or any folder that you would like to use and save your template file.

Import your template into NetObjects Fusion 2013:

  1. Launch Fusion 2013.
  2. From the File menu, select New Site > From Template.
  3. In the dialog that appears, navigate to the folder where you saved your exported template.
  4. Click on the template that you wish to import and choose a name for your imported site.

Can I run NetObjects Fusion 2013 and previous versions on the same computer?

You can run NetObjects Fusion 2013 on the same computer as any previous version of NetObjects Fusion software.

I opened my site in NetObjects Fusion 2013 and now I can’t open it in an older version of NetObjects Fusion. Why?

NOD files opened with NetObjects Fusion 2013 will not be backward compatible with previous versions of NetObjects Fusion. We strongly recommend you make a backup copy, or Template, of all NOD files prior to opening them with version 2013. Creating a Template will ensure that you have the capability to open them with the previous version in the event you wish to do so. As a precaution, NetObjects Fusion 2013 will prompt you to save a copy of any .nod file that is opened directly.

Using NetObjects Fusion

How do I center my pages in NetObjects Fusion?

Centering your Website pages increases the readability of your content over a broad range of devices and resolutions. In NetObjects Fusion it's as easy as marking a checkbox.

  1. Open your site to the page view and click on any blank area in the Layout.
  2. The Properties pane will now show the Layout Properties.
  3. Select the option for Center in browser.
  4. Repeat this step for all your Website pages that you want centered.

Application crash

Please open the site project in your older version of Fusion, navigate to the Style View and remove all Active but unused SiteStyles.

Re-export the site as a template & try to "Open as Template" in NOF2013. If that doesn't solve the problem, open the site in the older version, go to the Style View and select the CSS Code tab.

Scroll to the bottom and note the total lines of CSS code. If the total is greater than 1,000 or so, the issue is the CSSParser causing the application to crash.

We are aware that under certain circumstances a large website, migrated from older versions of Fusion, may exhibit this behavior. We are working on a solution and apologize for your inconvenience. In older versions of Fusion, the application produced CSS code for every available component, whether they were actually used or not. As a result the CSS was bloated with unnecessary code. When you attempt to migrate the site, the CSS Parser chokes on the volume.

While we're working on a software patch to address the issue, you may follow these steps and use a free utility to compress and optimize the redundant code.

  1. In Style View, un-check "Read only".

  1. Go to the CSS Code tab and select all the code (left click the mouse at the beginning and while holding down the left mouse button, drag to the botton of the CSS Code).

  1. While the CSS Code is selected, hold down the Control button on your keyboard and press c to copy the code. ( CONTROL + C)
  2. Go to this website: http://www.cleancss.com and paste your copied code into the CSS Input section.

  1. Keep the default settings and click "Process CSS".
  2. Copy the compressed and optimized CSS Code.
  3. Return to NetObjects Fusion. Delete all of the CSS Code in the SiteStyle and paste the optimized CSS with the keyboard shortcut ( CONTROL + V)
  4. Save the site, export as template & open in NOF2013.

Creating a new publish profile

  1. Open your website and navigate to the Publish view.
  2. From the View menu, choose the Settings option.
  3. Click the New button to create a new publish profile.
  4. Fill in the following fields:
    • Server Type - This should default to FTP
    • Profile Name - Provide your profile a name that is different from your original profile name. You'll be selecting it when you publish your site.
    • Server - Your Server address or IP number provided by your web host.
    • Directory - If your web host requires a directory, input it here.
    • User Name - Your username provided by your web host.
    • Password - Your password provided by your web host.
    • Live URL - Optional, this will automatically open a browser and send you to the uploaded website address you specify.
  5. Once filled out, click Close.
  6. From the View menu, choose the Publish Site option.
  7. The Publish Site dialog opens, choose your new profile from the list under Publish files to.
