Importing iWeb site to dreamweaver?

Is it possible to import my iWeb site to dreamweaver? I want to do this because i find that iWeb is too simplistic and i find the options are limited. To be honest all i want to do is put the website on dreamweaver and fiddle around with the HTML code and maybe do a couple of extra things. Anyway is it possible?

Publish the site to a folder and then open the published files in Dreamweaver.

Edit iweb site in Dreamweaver

Has anyone tried to recreate an iweb site using Dreamweaver on a pc? Why would you do this? Just for the experience of learning Dreamweaver. The first hurdle is trying to find all the images which are scattered instead of located in one images subfolder.

Read the instructions on the drupal site or elsewhere on how
to modify or
customize the "template" system they use.
You cannot edit the actual pages of a drupal CMS in
dreamweaver- it is all
php and included files and database calls. The "pages" you
see in the site
don't exist anywhere, they are assembled on the fly by the
drupal scripting.

Import contribute site in dreamweaver

I want to import the site I currently manage in contribute in dreamweaver to see if it is an easier way to manager. How do I do this?

Have you ever used Dreamweaver?
How good are you with HTML and CSS code?
Go to Site > New Site and tell DW where on your hard drive you wish to keep your local site folder.
Enter your remote server FTP credentials.
From the Files Panel, Click on the Down Arrow to GET files from your remote web server.

You can't use the iWeb Domain file with anything but iWeb.
You can probably edit published iWeb sites with GoLive and modify and save them. Whether that would make your site more acceptable to IE I have no idea. I don't think GoLive is a simple program. You can probably download a trial from Adobe and play with it and ask questions on the Adobe forums.

Can't import BC site into Dreamweaver

I recently downloaded a trial of Dreamweaver and the adobe business catalyst plugin. When I try to import my bc site I am asked to login with this error message:
"An account with the same email already exists in Business Catalyst. To associate the Business Catalyst account with your Adobe ID, please log in to the Business Catalyst web administration console."
After logging in to the BC admin console I still cannot import my site. Is there some trick to merging the accounts?

Hi sambrasch,
Can you check the solutions in this post Cannot "Get started" or publish a site from Dreamweaver CS6 because the account is not associated with Business Catalyst account - technote and let us know if you still need help?
Thanks,

Importting iweb site from folder

I reinstalled mac os x and the software that came with my computer. before I did that I saved my iweb site to a folder which i burned to disk. how do I now get that site into iweb? any help would be great.

All you need to do is take a file called "Domain" and drag it into
Home > Library > Application Suport > iWeb (just place the Domain file in the iWeb folder and fire up iWeb)

Import iweb site in a new macbook

hi, i'm french sorry for my english
so my macbook hard disk broked last week, i buy a new macbook pro
but how can i do to continue my web site with iweb09 ?
i have no data just on my idisk and iweb says "open problem with the file ....iweb/Domains.sites2.
how can i do ?
thanks

Welcome to the discussions. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Importing iWeb site to my computer

Our website was created with iWeb '09 and published to our site via FTP. I need to be able to collaborate and edit the site also. Is it possible to download the site to my computer and import it into my iWeb '09 on my Macbook Pro? Or, is it possible for the original creator of the site to send me the iWeb file for importing to my iWeb? Thanks for any help on this issue.

The original creator should send you the domain file that is, by default, located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Make sure the file is given read & write permissions before transfer.
This file can be stored in the default location or a new folder. If the latter, double click the file to launch it in iWeb.

Importing iweb site from one mac to another

i have a website made with 09 on my g5 tower and published to a host. I have a copy on a thumb drive so I can work on it on my pb when I travel but I can't seem to navigate to it or open it. I know this must be possible but I cannot find out how. Thanks in advance

Importing iWeb solutions???

Have a big problem. I created a site for my work on iWeb due to our IT/webmaster's huge workload.
My work loves the site and wants it imported to our server, but they use Dreamweaver and are PC-specific across the board. Any way to import iWeb material to Dreamweaver? I'm supposed to manage the site on a weekly basis but do not have experience with PC-based web building and would much rather just use my iWeb on my Macbook somehow.
If anyone knows how to do this I would be indebted for life. I believe the idea was to just create a secure folder within our network or server and upload those files to the website address we choose. The reason they don't let me do it on my own is because my personal laptop isnt accesable to my employer and they want to have administrative control, access to this site I built, and keep our already swamped web manager from having to take any more responsibility.
Is there a solution?

You cannot import the iWeb file since it is Mac specific and does not include HTML anyway.
But since the published pages are standards-based webpages, you can open and edit them in any HTML of your/their choice.
I opened the pages in Dreamweaver 2004 and they look horrible in Design mode. But in HTML mode they are editable as any other page. Not really Mac or iWeb specific.
I read that the new Dreamweaver will have the Webkit rendering engine included. Hopefully the pages will then render as they should. [Link|http://www.tuaw.com/2008/05/29/tuaw-review-dreamweaver-cs4-beta>

Working with an iWeb site in Design view CS5

I brought in an iWeb site to Dreamweaver CS5 using the mange sites panel successfully with all assets. The site is perfect in Live Mode but is not workable in Design Mode. I have also FTP it to Business Catalyst and can see it in their design mode better than in Dreamweaver. Any assistance that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

iWeb and other so called WYSIWYG web authoring systems typically use poor code and bad layout practices which will cause experienced web developers and DW to puke.
The only thing I can suggest is to validate your code & fix reported errors or re-build the site with DW.

There's nothing pretty about the code iWeb generates. It's a sea of <div> tags and inline styles that expert coders would find difficult to work with. So yes. Re-building your site in DW with an external CSS file is an excellent idea .

Importing an iWeb site..

My mac mini went nuts and I ended up reformating it. But prior to this I saved my website. Now how do I import the site into iWeb? I really dont want to rebuild it again.

Joop,
Welcome to Apple's iWeb forum. Cool site you have there; I'm sure all your buds appreciate the work you have done getting this online.
Problem is, you can't import published stuff back into the iWeb app. You see, iWeb doesn't even write html until you click a publish command; then it draws on a single file, Domain.sites, which is where it stores everything you create in the app, and then generates the code necessary for rendering your pages on the web. It's not a true html editor like Dreamweaver or Golive.
Sorry for the bad news, but you will have to recreate the site. You may consider just creating a new site altogether, and having links in the new site back to the old one; but most definitely, from now on, back up this Domain.sites file so you don't run into this problem again.

How can I import my iweb site into iweb on my new laptop?

I recently got a new MacBook Pro and transferred my files over from my PBG4 12-inch (great little laptop). However my iWeb files/site didn't seem to transfer over to my laptop. I found the files of on my PBG4, and thought I placed them in the correct folder on my one.
Every time I open iWeb it asks to start a new site. How can I import my old iweb site into it and continue with it? Is there a way of doing it? I've a read a few posts some talk about the file 'Domain' in the Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
If I copy that file over to my new MacBook Pro, will my site be in iWeb again? I greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Isotopecrunch,
Welcome to the iWeb forums!
You are correct about referring to the Domain file; this is the file that contains all of your work created in iWeb, and the file that needs to be transferred to your new MacBook. There are some notes on how to do this here.
Take the time also to make back up copies of this file, and keep them in a safe place.
