Iweb site in 08 editable in 09 ??

Can an iweb site be edited in 09' if it was created in 08' version ?
This would be done on two computers... Are they compatible to edit?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Both computers would have to be running the same version of iWeb and use the same domain file. The 08 computer would have to upgrade to iWeb 09.
Then you would have to have a way for each computer to access the same Domain.sites2 files (but not at the same time). MacWorld online has an article on one way to do that: Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.
Bottom line: both computers must run the same version of iWeb and not access the domain file at the same time.

How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

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.

> but I cannot figure out how to open
> the main page and start editing it.
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.

Has anyone tried editing an iWeb site with Contribute or Dreamweaver?

Before iWeb, I liked using Adobe Macromedia Contribute to edit the.Mac homepages. I've been giving iWeb a spin, and it seems to occupy the same place in Apple's stable as the rest of its siblings — a pre-pubescent version of Contribute, which is a subset of Dreamweaver.
I haven't yet tried it, but it seems as if the iWeb templates would be a good starting point, and Contribute/Dreamweaver would be great tools to polish the site.
I'm still confused, though, as to what the .Mac WebDAV URLs are...that's the thing that always tripped me up. Dreamweaver 8 is a better at site management, it seems, but if anyone could post a "definitive" guide on using a third-party tool, it would be much appreciated.

yes you can use other websoftware to modify iweb sites either after it is on the webserver or if you save it to a folder before publishing.
I tried the demo of Dream weaver and it worked fine..also I used Rapidweaver which works too. Heck you could use anything that can edit HTML which is really just a text file.
The problem with iweb is it is using those stupid PNG files which are big and to make it worse it duplicates all your images rather than having them in a shared folder you can end up with dozens of the same image which when someone visits your site and changes pages it has to download the same image again!
pretty crazy stuff.
iweb looks nice and as long as people are viewing it with broadband you'd be ok but dialup users are "toast" even on a simple site.
I got the demo of rapidweaver which is not as intuiative but in someways is more complete and have done a 3 page site.. others are developing themes for it and also there are plugins which add alot of functionality.
at $35 USD it is cheap and if you go to http://www.screencastsonline.com there are 3 videos to show you how to use it and a discount code.
I personally thing iweb is great but has some design flaws that will need to be delt with.

Editing an iWeb site from a second Mac

I recently purchased ILife 06 and have begun switching my existing web sites on my .mac account to be on iWeb format but i have a few questions:
1. I published the iWeb site with my iBook but I also want to populate and edit it with images from i Photo on my iMac - can I work with two Mac's???
2. My slide show pictures are very small on iWeb slide show compared to what I get on the slide show on my now old Mac Web page.Comments???
Thanks in advance for the help.

A slick way to do it is to store the domain file on a usb flash drive (stick) and double click it from there. That way you can plug it into whatever computer running iweb you wish and update it.
Always remember to back that file up no matter what you do. If you lose it for any reason it can't be restored from the published files.
good luck

How can another person on a PC edit an iWeb site?

Can someone edit an iWeb site using a browser or another app? Is there a way to run iWeb on a PC?

In a word NO.
If you want to do anything like this using a PC, then choose another programme. DreamWeaver is both PC and Mac compatible, or else you need to use something like an online system such as the content management systems such as WordPress, Drupal or Joomla.

Iweb problems with Sites folders to edit the web page

I had to change the hard drive in my MAcbookpro. I had done a Time Machine backup before... but did not restore it all as I had restored file by file. Now I do not have my iweb sites in my new iweb anymore. I do have all the html under Sites folder.
How can I restore this? The website does publish online but I cannot edit it and find the folders. I did not find the original domain folder. Thankyou.

Or is there anything else I can do?
Anna ~ If you can't recover your Domain file, you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch — see the tips in paragraph 2.3 here:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Backup_retrieve.html
...But if you have to rebuild, it's an opportunity to consider alternative apps which don't rely on a Domain file and (unlike iWeb) are regularly updated with new features — see this post:

How can I still edit my iWeb site on new iMac

My mid 2007 24" iMac which has served me well has memory problems. I now work with much larger projects ( Logic Studio + video ) than earlier, and have to continually keep clearing the memory as I work. I have the maximum 4 GB RAM ).
This is halting progress so seriously that I'm considering changing it for a new iMac .... 27".
My question is: How can I still edit my iWeb site on a new iMac, when iLife is no longer included, and so presumably OS 10.7 doesn't support iWeb ?
Will be grateful for insights.
Thanks,
SeaDream.

Well thanks. Sounds so complicated, though. Would another option be to backup my present Mac HD ( with Snow Leopard ) to an external HD and simply edit iWeb from there ?
As long as I also backed up this external HD, would this be a possibility ?

WANTING TO USE TWO COMPUTERS TO EDIT iWEB SITE

I'd like to use two different computers/two different people to edit my iWeb page. When I open iweb on the computer NOT USED for creating the site, I have to start all over. Is there a way for more than one person/computer to edit these pages...maybe using iDisk?
Please help!

erikpotter,
Welcome to the discussions area.
The only way to edit any iWeb-created site with the application itself is by opening the Domain file, found in this location on your computer.
An iWeb Domain file can be opened with any Macintosh computer running the same version of iWeb the site was created in. You just need to make the Domain file available to the other person/machine.
Here are some tips for sharing and editing the same iWeb site between two machines.

More than one user login to iWeb site? Can it be done?

I am wondering if it's possible to create multiple users to log into a iWeb site. However I think you can only have one username and one password, but maybe I'm missing something.

It's not very clear what you mean by "users" or "site." If you are talking about .Mac, and about different user accounts on your machine being able to do things on a single .Mac account, there is no problem -- the same username and password can be put into the .Mac preferences for each account. Any iWeb sites created from different machine accounts will have their data located exclusively in the Domain file in the Home folder of that account. One user can't edit the site of another user without tranfering the relevant Domain file.
If that's not what you are talking about, let us know.

Two users on same machine working on same iWeb site

Hi
We have two users on our new iMac because some things we want to keep separate. But we both want to work on our iWeb site when we feel like it, from our own account.
I copied the domains file into Users\Shared and it appeared we could both work on it from there. But then I found that each blog entry becomes only partially editable by the other user. iWeb doesn't complain when I save, but it isn't actually saving the changes to blog entries that were started by the other user.
Can anyone please help tell me how two users are supposed to work on the same iWeb blog? Thank you!

I would also like to know the answer to this.
Thanks!

Can I Set Up a 2nd iWeb Site?

Hi,
I was wondering if you are able to set up a 2nd iWeb Site. My Daughter has a site but I'd like to set one up too for myself. Any help would be great!
Thanks in Advance,
XMTitan

Hi,
if you and your daughter have different accounts on the computer there is no problem in having two sites. Your site will show up on iWeb in your user account and her site will show up on iWeb in her user account. If you want to make a site which is independent from your daughter's site and don't have different user accounts on your computer you just have to have two different Domain files (where iWeb stores its files User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2 ).
If you don't want to have a completely independent site and don't have different user accounts on your computer open iWeb go to File=>New Site
Site=>Index where people choose which site they want to visit your daughter's or yours
Site1=>Your daughter's
Site2=>Yours
you then can publish to the same .Mac account or host.
The only problem that could happen is with publishing two independent sites to the same .Mac account. One site will overwrite (thus delete) the other. That problem is not happening with using two different .Mac accounts or by publishing to two different hosts.

Cédric

IWeb site blank in IE, but perfect in Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Hello all,
I'm sorry, I know this question comes up again and again, but what I have read and attempted doesn't seem to help my website. I just started using iWeb last week and I really enjoy it. I was using Dreamweaver before which is a great program for CSS and HTML editing, but really doesn't compare to the simplicity and speed of designing with a WYSIWYG like iWeb.
So are there a few big culprits as to why iWeb sites don't display in IE 6,7, or 8? I realize this is pretty much an Internet Explorer problem, but can I fix at least some of the content without doing a ton of hacking to my site?
I am already fixing one issue using Dreamweaver:
iWeb: +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
instead of: +<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">+
...so I'm not afraid to publish with iWeb, then edit a few things in the HTML/CSS. Can anything be done? It's a fairly simple website: mantheipc.webege.com (ignore text content, needs a lot of revision).
*Other info:*
Free hosting via 000webhost.com
iWeb '08 2.0.4
OS X 10.5.7
Dreamweaver CS5
Uploading via FileZilla
Tested to work under Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (Mac+PC)
Tested and failed to load in IE 6,7,8 at http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
Tested and failed to load in IE 6 on XP Laptop
Thanks a lot for your time,
Dylan

Removing the first line of every HTML document permits the site to load in IE.
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
To figure out why IE wouldn't display my site, I created a new blank page and added an image, a hyperlink, a text box, and a fancy CSS text box. I also set a background gradient and page color. The page wouldn't display in IE, so I started deleting HTML by hand with a text editor starting with the most likely culprits (in-line CSS, javascript, etc). I was down to an image, hyperlink, bgcolor, and center tags and the site still wouldn't load. Realizing these are the most basic html tags there are, the only thing left that could cause a problem was that first line.
While I realize this is not at all an ideal solution, it worked. Not only does the site load, but it looks about as good as it does in Firefox and Chrome. No transparency issues or anything! The first line isn't vital to site display, but it does cause the browser to 'guess' what type of encoding the page is in. All of my testing indicated this isn't an issue on my PC or Mac, but I need to try friends and family's PC's too.
Tested good on:
IE8, Firefox, and Chrome in Windows 7
Firefox, Chrome, and Safari in MacOS Leopard
Thanks again to everyone who read and contributed!

Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get - 404: Page not found This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-is the problem with iweb or with hosting? T

I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
404: Page not found
This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
is the problem with
iweb or with hosting?
One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
Thanks VG
<Email Edited by Host>

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

Transporting an iWeb site to a different Mac computer

You were all so helpful with my last question...
I have been working on an iWeb site but have not yet published it (I don't yet know the ftp server address to which it will be published).
I can't figure out how to save it to a jump drive or move it from my external hard drive (where it is now) to a different computer.
It seems as though there is an option of "publish to a folder," (which I could potentially then move from the external hard drive to the new computer) but I'm reluctant to do that for fear of losing it altogether.
Any advice???
Thanks,
Lara

Hi Lara,
Easily done!
See these notes for instructions on how to edit and publish the same iWeb site from two separate machines.
Post back if you run into problems and everyone here will lend a hand.
