Adding Individual IWeb pages to existing site.

I have a website that I created not using IWeb. Can I use IWeb to create a photo gallery page and add just that page to my website. I have a ton of pages and I don't want to start over but I like the way the slide show galleries work in IWeb. I also have good search engine placement and I don't want to mess with a good thing.

I would suggest that it is never a good idea to try creating another page with something other than you created your original site with.
Go back and create a page with the package you used to create the original site or totally re-build the whole site again in iWeb.
I'm not sure you will be able to get this to work because of the way in which iWeb publishes with an html page and the CSS folder that goes with it - most others create the pages and one CSS file for the whole site.
If you just want one page, then why not create it by hand using a text editor such as TextWrangler? Create what you want and just place a link within that page to the CSS folder that already exists for the rest of your site. This way, you will achieve a uniform look to your site with the extra page and you can easily create the links to the rest of your site and then just upload one page using Cyberduck or Transmit or something similar.

IWeb makeover for existing site?

i apologize for so many post! i could have combined my last two i suppose.
i have an existing site that is basically just one page of lots of text with loads of supporting documents --scans both jpg and pdf-- all of which are linked in the js openwindow fashion in each link.
is there any way to import this into iWeb for an iWeb makeover?
thanks always

in fact, how do i put in links that are of the type:
i need this type of link because my site is like a book with supporting docs and by using this method the reader can simply close the linked document window and be 'where they were' to continue reading.

That's okay...we don't mind. Just ask away!
in fact, how do i put in links that are of the type:
You won't be able to do this in iWeb. There is no problem linking the files in iWeb, but in order to apply the javascript popup window code or otherwise have your links open in new windows, you will have to edit the HTML code that iWeb generates for your particular pages.

Add iWeb page to exisitng site?

Is it possible to intermingle an iWeb page within an exisiting website without creating problems and messing up my exisitng site? Or do I need to add some other way?
I imagine I could uploadt via FTP (to my server's public_html folder???) and use Contribute to link the iWeb page(s) to my exisitng site...
If all this is possible would someone give me the steps?
Mille Grazie,
Rich

Is it possible to intermingle an iWeb page within an
exisiting website without creating problems and
messing up my exisitng site? Or do I need to add some

Yes, this is possible. You just do this with links in your existing site.
I imagine I could uploadt via FTP (to my server's
public_html folder???) and use Contribute to link the
iWeb page(s) to my exisitng site...
That's right, you can upload your iWeb site folder to your server's public_html folder...just be able to describe the site folder in a URL...
If all this is possible would someone give me the
steps?
1. Publish iWeb site using "Publish to Folder" onto your desktop. You will see a folder containing two things: an "index.html" file and the actual site folder.
2. Upload this site folder to your server using your FTP program. Put it wherever you are instructed to upload HTML files. Upload just the site folder (one of the two items resulting from iWeb's Publish to Folder command).
3. Test out your iWeb site by accessing it from the URL that it should be accessible from your server... this will be the URL that you must provide links to in your existing site.
4. Edit your existing site to provide links to the new iWeb pages...using contribute or whatever you usually use. Link to your iWeb site using the URL you discovered in Step 3.
Hopefully this is all working! Good luck!

FTP publishing on iWeb to replace existing site - files not appearing.

On iWeb, I used FTP publishing to replace my existing site files, then deleted the original files but not only has the new site files not appeared in my public html folder but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Founderror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
That's an indication that the index.html file that is created alongside the site folder by iWeb is missing.
Try publishing your site to a folder on your hard driive and use a 3rd part ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.
Cyberduck or Transmit will let you view your server folder in a Finder like window where you can see which files are missing.

Redirect iWeb Pages To External Sites?

I have a persona domain that I have linked to my .mac account. I have a previous blog that I am trying to substitute on my site instead of having to create a whole new one using the iWeb blog feature. How do I do this?
Currently, I have tried to change my CNAME records at my Domain control panel. I use blogger.com so I entered in a new CNAME record that would direct to the correct destination field.
All I want to happen is to have on my navigation bar where it says blog to redirect to myname.blogger.com. I can not figure out how to do this. Maybe I am just making it too complicated.

I was struggling with this same problem for a few hours tonight and finally got it figured out.
1. Create a blank page in iWeb and set it to be included in the navigation bar.
2. After publishing your site, find the file iWeb creates called "index.html" and open it with a text editor. (I like TextWrangler, but TextEdit should work as well.)
3. The file should be very short. Find the section that looks like this:
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= PageName.html" /
4. Replace the portion after "url=" with the full external URL you want the navigation bar link to point to. For example, your final line might look like this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://myblog.blogspot.com" />
5. Select "Save as...", and use this file to replace the blank iWeb page you created for the Navbar. (If you made Blog.html, this will become your new "Blog.html" file. (Don't just save the file, or you'll screw up your index file. We're just using it as a template.)
For an example of this fix in action, here's my site where I did this exact same thing earlier this evening:
www.timelypersuasion.com
(click on the "blog" link in the navbar to see the external redirect)
Hope this helps.

Putting a password on an individual iWeb page?

Is it possible to put an individual password on one of my pages?
Like 5 pages of the site being public, the other page being on a password?
Thanks!

Hi Riffer 87,
You can password a site but not an individual page. You can however make a new site and move the pages that you wish to protect into that site. All will have the same password.
Hope this helps

Trouble getting iWeb pages to hosting site

I am having trouble getting my updated iWeb pages loaded to my GoDaddy hosting web site. Every time I update a page in iWeb and then upload the pages by ftp to Godaddy, the home page either does not show up or it is badly distored or botched. Godaddy says it is an iWeb problem. The guy said something about "scripting". I am lost and frustrated. Help please!
Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I have rebuilt the Index page, again. I tried the local folder, saved to Sites on the Mac. Then I uploaded just the index page directly to Godaddy using the ftp in my file manager, but this time nothing.
I went back to the iWeb ftp to upload the Index page to the subfolder in my root directory on GoDaddy and moved all the files I could find to the root. THis time I have some of the elements of the index page in place (pictures, links) but none of the template background, colors, or fonts. All the other pages are OK.
Here is my home page: http://www.hijinkscotties.com
Did I miss an iWeb update that has changed anything in the program? Is this a scripting issue? (Whatever that means?)
Thanks-

Trying to direct iweb page to existing web address

I need help, We have an existing website through Earthlink, and would like to use our iweb and.mac account instead. I have contacted our domain registrar and got everything we needed, until it asked us to change the nameserver delegation. Right now it says:
Name Server Details
Primary
DNS2.EARTHLINK.NET
Secondary
DNS3.EARTHLINK.NET
3
DNS1.EARTHLINK.NET
on the .mac site it says to use this....
You will need to tell .Mac the name of your domain and then edit the domain settings on your registrar's site to define web.mac.com as the alias, or CNAME, for your domain.
I am not sure where to put this (web.mac.com) It keeps telling me that it is incorrect.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Thanks

I think Melbourneit is thru yahoo? I hope you are not paying more the $10/yr.
Why don't you contact them and have them walk you thru changing the cname to web.mac.com

Iweb page link to site

Can I set a page from iweb to go to a web site?

You can create a link from your site to another site yes.
Type your text and then highlight it and then open the Inspector and choose Hyperlink and then choose Hyperlink to an external page and you have created your link to a site outside iWeb.

IWeb hypertext links to pages from my site not "viewable" in some browsers

I am new to iWeb 08. iWeb created hypertext links to eleven pages from my "top level" site are not "clickable" or viewable in some browsers yet the hyperlinks I added on top page to other sites don't present a problem.
No problem with Safari or AOL Desktop Version 1.2 or Firefox browsers. However, AOL Ver 10.3.7 (rev 4136.310) only shows other site links and NOT the page links at the top of site page. Only a dot is visible where links to other pages in the site. I thought it could have been a Java Scripts problem so I updated my AOL to latest JAVA. Not concerned for my part but others with Mac AOL may have same problem.
Is there something I could do diferent at my site or is this another AOL shortcoming?
See: http://web.mac.com/louiedea/OceanaMed_Cruise_2008/MedCruise08.html
Thanks, LouieDeA

Gayle,
No solution yet. I am sure it is a shortcoming of AOL's Mac browser but am trying to contact AOL support (difficult now that they are free). I don't use their browser but there are probably those that do. I presume you don't have that problem when you use Safari, etc?

Importing existing site made in another app into iWeb

Hi,
Is it possible to import to iWeb a site created in RapidWeaver? Or, at somehow have any new iWeb site I do, and keep the work I did the in RW online.
I don't necessarily need to edit it, but I'd like to keep that RW site intact and available.
Also, Roddy, thanks for this link you put in another thread- I've got a lot to study:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_FAQ.html
Guy

No; iWeb cannot import existing sites. If you have the HTML and other files from RapidWeaver, store them on your hard disk, and then use iWeb to publish to a folder, posting those pages as desired.

Can I load an existing site in iWeb?

I have a website that I put together with an old program I can't use in OS Leopard (wouldn't want to anyway). I want to start using iWeb to work on my web pages. Can I load the pages of my site into the iWeb program to edit? How do I do that? Thanks.

No, iWeb can't open, edit, or import an existing site.

Upload photos and text to an existing iWeb page from an internet cafe?

Hi,
I plan to do a trip and created already an iWeb page on my .mac account. During my trip, I would now like to upload pictures and personal comments on my existing webpage. Can I do this in an normal internet cafe via my internet .mac account?
I have checked this internet account and there is a button "web page" but my original webpage does not appear.
Thanks for your help!

You can't modify anything in an iWeb site except by using a Mac with iWeb installed and also the Domain file that created the site.
.Mac Web Galleries let you upload photos by email.

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

Code in a domain file - really? That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08? If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).
