Downloading Web Pages Into Your Site Map
Personal Systematic Theology
Please feel free to download (right-click-a-Link/Save Target As/...) any file from
Chafer Seminary's Topical Notebook to your personal computer.
For the least confusion, direct downloadable files to a specific directory (folder) that you can remember—where you can find it later. Avoid saving files to directories beginning with:
/My Webs... /My Downloads... /My Documents... /Documents and Settings
The above directories (folders) will cause link and search problems, sooner or later.
Either download the entire structure to your computer's hard drive,
using the instructions at: Downloading the CSTN database structure (recommended)
or, manually construct a directory structure on a specific disk drive, using Windows Explorer's pull-down menus (/File/New/Folder...) as follows (Do not hesitate to ask someone to help you, if you have never created directories before):
C:\Notebook_PST
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\ANGEL
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\ANTHR
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\BIBLI
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\CHRIS
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\CWOL
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\ECCLE
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\ESCHA
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\HELP
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\ISRAE
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\PNEUM
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\SAM
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\SOTER
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\THEOL
Please Note: There are two ways to download files from our website. One works; the other does not work. Please understand the difference before being disappointed.
When your browser executes a link to a web page, your browser resolves all of the links in that page, as it loads it into your computer's temporary storage, and displays it on your computer display screen. The important part of that statement is that it "resolves all links..." Your browser assumes that any links in the page you want to visit will have links to other pages on that same website. Therefore, it adds the website's address to the beginning of the filenames of the web pages that are linked to from the page it is loading for you to view.
For example, many of the web pages on this site have links back to the Site_Map.htm file. As your browser loads a page and encounters that name, it assumes that the file must be on the CSTN site, and rightfully changes the link to become:
http://www.chafer-cstn.org/BaseT/Site_Map.htm
However, when you download files from this site, to become a part of your Personal Systematic Theology, you want your browser to use those files from your hard drive, if you are browsing your PST. That's the only way you can use your notes off-line, on the back porch, from the pulpit, or wherever you might be studying your notes. Consequently, you want that same filename to be resolved as follows:
C:\NOTEBOOK_PST\BaseT\Site_Map.htm
So, you want files that are downloaded to your computer to be downloaded BEFORE resolving the links. The pull-down menus at the top of your browser's window (File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, ... ) work with web page files that are being viewed as you navigate a website, that is, after link filename resolution.
Do Not Use:
/File/Save As... to download content from this site. You will not be able to use the content after downloading.
Instead:
Right-click a link to the filename you want to download,
Select the "Save Target As..." item,
Browse for the Path to the appropriate download directory on your hard drive:
e.g. C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\...
Left-Click the "Save" Button
Let's try one. Once you have the above directory structure available, use your browser to right-click on a link to save the desired web page. In the following example, we will save notes on the Holy Spirit's Attributes of Deity from the Table of Contents for Pneumatology. We will assume that you would have them to be stored in the path:
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\PNEUM\DEITY-HS.htm
First, go to the Pneumatology Table of Contents.
Next, Right-click the "Attributes of Deity" link.
When the dialog box appears, select the "Save Target As..." item (left-click) ...
Then, when the "Save As" dialog box opens (see below),
A. use the "Save in:" control, and its down-arrow button
to locate the \PNEUM directory,
B. Then click the Save button.
Now, you should have the topical notes on the Holy Spirit's Attributes of Deity stored in the path
C:\Notebook_PST\BaseT\PNEUM\DEITY-HS.htm
Later, we will use these notes as an example for:
Linking TO your topical notes from within the TOC structure
