Advanced: Publishing to multiple domains (Folder structure, Podcast URL's)

Hi everybody!
I am sooo excited, yet so frustrated here: I realize iWeb is being launched as a consumer app, and so have enjoyed the additional functionality Apple has brought with redirects, and personal domain availability, but have fallen in love with the program and want to use it (along with the other iApp methodology) to make my other sites. I can't (or don't want to) wait until further developement can occur, or the market dynamic with other authoring apps allow for a more clear roadmap. Basically I want to make different sites, and switch between them (using Transit for FTP functionality), and then also be able to 'revert to default', so that one-click .mac publishing can ensue. I realize off the bat that this is a big order, and various aspects have been covered by everyone here, but want to lay out what my specific problems are and how I've been doing things.
First, I was going to just 'Go with the flow', using the program as-is, making "New Sites" from the file menu, then going in by "Showing Package Contents" in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain file, then parsing the sites out to each separate subdirectory on my hosts' server. Then I came upon the dialog box prompt to specify the URL upon saving (which it states is required for the blogs' RSS feed). This is what prompted me to start-over again, creating a new Domain NewName.sites2 file for each 'Site', and things at least played swimmingly it seemed, as each retained their-own site-specific URL, and, upon closing all and reopening the original Domain file could go back to publishing from iPhoto etc.. for the web.mac.com/username workflow. Great, but this is cumbersome, and more importantly I am worried that this could cause problems down the road with filenames, and paths, and I am not even attempting any more blogs etc..
Are there any suggestions, including "Hey don't even keep going on this way?" I am understanding that the advanced features only work on .Mac, but what about podcasting- what would be involved to at least include a live podcast linked to iTunes on my own host- and would the extra work required be not straightforward, especially if the nature would involve change and updates to the code with the addresses/links? I know how to make the Podcasts and know basic HTML, but am new the syndication thing, but at the same time, realize that I'd have to do it regardless of what authoring app I would use.
Suppose I make a site, publish it to my server, then update the site. Would peoples' bookmarks be screwed up? Would a podcast still appear in iTunes if it were accepted? Could any advanced features be used? And if a 'workaround', or even hardcoding could be show to me, would this issue of needing to add on to the site and make changes cause existing work and its links to be disrupted each time?
Thank you so much in advance.

Suppose I make a site, publish it to my server, then update the site. Would peoples' bookmarks be screwed up?
Peoples bookmarks will normally only be screwed up if you change the names of your sites and pages inside the iweb app. If you have sent them to http://www.myname.com/sitename/welcome.html, best not to change the sitename to something else or change welcome to home.

Multiple Domain Publishing

I Was Wondering How You Publish To Multiple Domains In iWeb? Can Anyone Answer This Question? I Have Sent A E-mail To Apple With This Question But I Have Gotten NO Reply And I Said To Reply If You Can OR If You Can't!

Multiple websites can be managed and published separately using one user account and one .Mac account.
The accepted methods are to use a third party application like iWebsites ...
http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/iWebSites/
.... or to keep the domain files in separate folders.
iWebsites has just been updated and the "merge" function reinstated.
See this topic about creating new domain files ....

Rebuild folder structure

Fortunately this is in my test environment.
Wondering if there's any way to rebuild my primary domain folder
structure from the secondary domain.
I incorrectly updated a server with my primary domain and post office
from sles11sp2 to sles11sp3 via booting from installation media and not
updating oes at the same time. I know............IDIOT!!!!
Anyway, server is running, edir running, nss volumes there, just no
data on the volume with Groupwise on it.
Any suggestions, or am I destined to rebuild my test system from
scratch?

You should be able to do this from the secondary, assuming the secondary is also
GW 2014!
/opt/novell/groupwise/admin/gwadminutil/rebuild -d /path/to/secondary -n
nameofprimary -o /temp/path/primary/ -cd
so, the -d switch is for your domain database that exists. The -n switch is the
actual name of the primary domain. The -o switch is where you wish to create
the wpdomain.db and the -cd switch will create all of the necessary folders and
even include the .dc files etc.
Now, if your secondary is not GW 2014, I'm not sure if you can recover. But if
so, you would do it in ConsoleOne and do a "replace primary with secondary" -
you'd be back at the older version though if that worked, and then you'd need to
upgrade the primary.

Help Setup KMS on single domain and active for multiple domain another

Hi all,
I have a problem about configure DNS for KMS host. My company use a single domain "abc.com". But I must mange more than 10 company different and they use another domain and dns running independently, they have a one lease line connect them together.
My challenge is how to active all client on more than 10 company. Any ideas is very appreciate.
Please help.
Thanks,

That's a good article suggested by Meinolf, but it's a little outdated.
For an updated guide for this:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793409.aspx
Publishing to Multiple DNS Domains
By default, the KMS host is registered only in the DNS domain to which the host belongs. If the network environment has only one DNS domain, no further action is required.
If there is more than one DNS domain name, you can create a list of DNS domains for a KMS host to use when publishing its SRV RR. Setting this registry value suspends the KMS host’s default behavior of publishing only in the domain specified as the Primary
DNS Suffix.
Optionally, add priority and weight parameters to the
DnsDomainPublishList registry value for KMS. This feature enables you to establish KMS host priority groupings and weighting within each group to define which KMS host to try first and balance traffic among multiple KMS hosts.
Note DNS changes might not be reflected until all DNS servers have been replicated. Changes made too frequently (time < replication time) can leave older records if the change is performed on a server that has not been
replicated.
To automatically publish KMS in multiple DNS domains, add each DNS domain suffix to whichever KMS should publish to the multi-string registry value
DnsDomainPublishList in registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform. After changing the value , restart the Software Licensing Service to create the SRV RRs.
Note This key has changed from the Windows Vista location of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL.
After configuring a KMS host to publish to multiple domains, export the registry subkey, and then import it in to the registry on additional KMS hosts. To verify that this procedure was successful, check the Application event log on each KMS host. Event
ID 12294 indicates that the KMS host successfully created the SRV RRs. Event ID 12293 indicates that the attempt to create the SRV RRs was unsuccessful. For a complete list of error codes, see the
Volume Activation 2.0 Operations Guide at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303695.aspx.

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.
Leandro

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.

Publish to hard drive mirroring folder structure

Hello,
The publish to hard drive feature was one of my most anticipated additions in LR3. I use this to maintain a backup of all my images with the edits baked in, which offers a great level of security.
My only disappointment is that it flattens the folder structure. Backing up an entire catalogue to a single folder is less than convenient, so I ended up creating multiple publish folders in order to keep the file counts reasonable.
But the ideal would be the ability for the publish feature to mirror the folder structure, creating a backup that is organised just how I like it.
Kind regards,
Tom

You seem to be using the wrong tool for the job of backing up, why not use ChronoSync on Mac or Clone on PC to back up your folders [and structure] to a location of your choosing independently of LR? They can also back up any folders like your preferences or catalogue not just your images and do so according to a schedule that you designate.
Both are very easy to use and can back up single folders or entire hard drives or anything in between. I also find them very handy for location work as these programmes always keep my backup ext. HD in sync with my main ext HD without my having to think about it.

Export multiple folders while keeping folder structure

I want to export multiple folders at one time. I select the folders in LR and then all the photos in those folders. When I look at the exported photos they're all lumped together (and the keywords are gone, if I do one folder at a time the keywords remain)
Any way to keep the folder structure while exporting multiple folders?
Thanks

You can use a publish service such as this one: Jeffrey Friedl's Blog » Jeffrey’s “Folder Publisher” Lightroom Plugin

Multiple Domain files, Multiple Sites, Publishing Problems

I am frustrated beyond belief. I'm an old hand-coder, coming from BBEdit, but I've been using iWeb almost exclusively since its release, because it really is a great product for quick, easy, stylish designs.
However.... In that year, my collection of sites has grown to 12. Discovering that iWeb becomes a major dog when dealing with that much material, I found and followed the instructions - today - to separate my sites into individual domain files, and edit them individually. iWeb is much snappier and publishing goes much more quickly.
The problem? Well... after editing, "Publish to .Mac" rarely works. Only "Publish All to .Mac" will get the site online (something about an error with the index.html file). But "Publish All to .Mac", I've just discovered, DELETES the other websites that I have previous published. All day I've been doing updates and publishing my sites, only to discover that the uploads have all been wiped out by the most recent one!
I'm a big enough fellow to admit that my knowledge isn't total nor perfect - so please, would someone out there with a better handle on iWeb than I (preferably someone who actually deals with multiple domain files rather than someone who thinks they can guess the problem) please clue me into how we make use of this program non-destructively?
I suppose I could always publish everything to folders and upload it to my iDisk (which itself remains ridiculously slow after how many years now? Sheesh!), but that detracts from the elegance of the .Mac integration, the counter features, - not to mention the little fact that I'm a paying .Mac customer and this darn thing should just work, no?

Mark:
I was where you were also. You should give iWebSites a try. It's to iWeb what iPhoto Library Manager is to iPhoto.
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. Just remember to put a copy of your current Domain.sites file somewhere else on your HD in case the splitting gets messed up. It went very smoothly for me and I now manage 19 or so sites.

Multiple Domain 404 and Folder Setup

Hi All,
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.
I am currently setting up www.sunnyheat.fr for a client and we are hosting it of the www.sunnyheat.org.uk system as they are the same company but require multilingual websites. They did not want to go down the google translate route hence having it done it proper french.
The France website requires a 404 page in French, but the default 404 page is set to the standard system page which is in English.
My other question is, how have you set your folder up for multiple domains that require seperate content and pages?
At the moment I have a FR folder in the root and all the pages are setup in that, is there a way to have two seperate root folders?
Look forward to your responses and how your doing it!
many thanks

Thanks Liam.
What is the full scope of picking a country do? Right know I could see how it might effect ecommerce sites because of currency. But for non-ecommerce sites does the 'county' designation do anything?
From chat I was just told:
"Country and the culture define the language for the site and time zone for the site."
"it also defines the currency and taxes etc."
Wondering if this is documented somewhere and I'm just missing it. Would love to the full definitive answer the clearly states topics like the 404 pages, etc.

How can I upload multiple files or whole folder structures in one go to the Cloud?

How can I upload multiple files or whole folder structures to the Cloud in one go? Uploading lots of files singularly does not help my workflow.
All help is much appreciated.
Paul.

Hi,
Uploading multiple files is browser specific.
Internet explorer won't allow to select and upload multiple files on the cloud.
If you want to upload multiple files then you have to login to Cretaive cloud using Firefox or Chrome web browser, then you can select multiple files in the Browse window to upload.
You can't upload folders directly.
Thanks,

How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

hello,
I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
So, I have two main questions:
1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

thank you for your reply.
> You can create each site as a new Site in Server
Admin. When you do this you can choose any
directory on disk as the document root for each
site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
/Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
create /Library/WebServer/site1,
/Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
/Library/WebServer if you want).
so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
and another to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
> Each site should have the domain name set as per your
registered domains. Apache will need this to
determine the correct site to serve for each
request.
Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
>
I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
Without that piece of information it's impossible to
tell you whether you should continue using them or
not - in general there's no need to use URL
forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
different.
I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

How can I batch move files to the same folder structure in a different location?

Hi,
I recently had an issue with my iTunes Library so I used the Organize Library feature to have iTunes organise my library. What happened was that it put all of my music in a folder called 'Music' on my external hard drive, whereas previously it was not in a folder at all, e.g.
BEFORE: External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
AFTER: External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
I don't have any particular issue with the updated folder structure, except that I had copies of the artwork for each album in my album folders, and these weren't moved when the audio files were moved/consolidated/organised. So I need to find a way of moving all of the artwork to the new folders, e.g.
External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
needs to become:
External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
I have to do this for 3,000+ albums, and I have multiple artwork files for some albums, so I am hoping that there is a way of doing this using a batch/automated method of some kind, but I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks,
Nick

You can make a smart playlist containing episodes of both series and play from that. Podcasts are linked together by the URL they are served from so merging ongoing series isn't really practical.

Multiple Domain Files

A lot of questions are asked in this forum about managing multiple domain files and splitting existing ones.
The "solutions" seem to be either to use an application such as iWebsites or to duplicate the domain file into folders and delete the appropriate sites.
When I first loaded iWeb '08, I kept a copy of a blank domain file and use this to start a new site by duplicating it into a new folder and double clicking it to launch iWeb.
My main reason for doing this was to overcome the inability of iWeb to create a new domain file from the "File" menu.
I have stayed with this, not only for speed and convenience, but because I read this...
http://11mystics.com/blog/2007/09/08/how-do-you-manage-multiple-domain-files-for -iweb/
and also this....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6261141&#6261141
These comments are from two people who dig deep under the hood of iWeb and whose opinions I respect and have taken to heart.
Is this the best way to create new domain files?
Am I being over cautious?
Am I totally deluded?
The last question is open to psycho therapists only !

UUIDs are like finger prints in Domain.sites2. There are ways to start new Domain.sites2 without duplicate an existing one:
1) move the last accessed Domain.sites(2) from its location, or rename the holding folder.
2) change com.apple.iWeb.plist setting, I post the procedure here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6007612&#6007612
This can be done with AppleScript or Unix shell script. Doing so will get you new Domain with new UUID.
When you duplicate a blank domain, you also duplicate its UUIDs, as of now there seems to be OK as long as you keep domain separate. However, we do not know what Apple will do in the future releases, here is UUIDs usage progression in iWeb:
We did not see much of them in iWeb1, because iWeb1 Domain.sites is flat structure.
We see UUIDs everywhere in iWeb2 Domain.sites2, from top to bottom; every page has it own UUID.
So, I would be skeptic about having duplicate UUIDs; even in separate domain packages.
I ran a cross this when a friend asked me to merge his Domain.sites2 packages, and I thought people should be aware of it.
I ended up write Applescript applications to merge, extract sites and clean existing Domain.sites2 package by assign new UUIDs.

Messed with multiple Domains... Big Problems

I have posted on this topic because I was experiencing very slow save times and publishing times.
I had 20+ sites created in iWeb, many of which have large photo galleries.
Wanting to solve this problem, I tried a couple of techniques to start with a fresh Domain.
I tried duplicating the existing Domain and deleting the sites I didnt want in Domain 2.
Problem was this retained the massive "Albums" folder within iWeb package content.
The sites didnt show in the iWeb interface but the new Domain was giant (1.9 gigs) and saving and publishing still took forever.
So I went into the Domain 2 package contents and deleted the Albums for the sites I didnt want in my new Domain.
Well then Domain saved and published nice and fast as I expected it to.
Thing is...
Now all of my previous sites from the old Domain are broken when you attempt to view them on the web.
They all look fine when I look at them in iWeb by opening their files in iWeb.
My original Domain is still intact where I have stored it on my computer.
When I check my iDisk, I can see that my old websites are there but their Media folders are completely empty.
Sooo... how do I fix this situation?
I realize I brought this upon myself but I was trying to do what I have got to believe is doable.
I want to have multiple Domains so I can work more efficiently.
Surely I dont have to be saddled with updating a 1.9 gig Domain every time I publish to iWeb.

You're only putting the domain file(s) in the trash to prevent iWeb opening them so that it will be forced to created a new blank domain file. Then drag it out and store it in a folder.
Individual domain files are opened in Iweb by double clicking them.
Splitting domain files with multiple sites is not recommended. You're only leaving yourself open to file corruption and other problems some where down the line.
Start each new site on a blank domain file and store it in its own folder.

Folder Structures in LR 4.3

Hi all,
This may have already been answered but I was wondering if there was a way for LR to automatically create a folder structure when importing photos like below:
2012
   - December
       - Shoot Name #1
2013
   - Feburary
       - Shoot Name #1
       - Shoot Name #2
   - March
etc.
etc.
I can only seem to have the Shoot Name as the primary folder and then Year and Month underneath that. I know I could manually set this up but I was hoping it could be automated.
Apologies if this has been answered before.
Thanks in advance.

I think I may just have to go with my usual import method (Year/Month/Day) and then make use of Collections.
That would be the path of least resistance, if your otherwise preferred folder structure is not mandatory. That way you are not dependent on plugins or apps - simpler...
Another option is just to move after importing, which is what I do: all imports go into a structured "inbox" until processing finished, then they are moved to final destination and maybe published...
Whatever works...
Cheers,
Rob
