Another iWeb question

With my 06 updated to 08, I plan at the end of the year to not publish one of my websites. (I have two) I would like to save the one I am not publishing for use at another time. I will keep the other one up and running. How can I save the not published one? And in the future, how would I bring it back to iWeb and be able to publish it again with the other site I have. Thank you!

You don't need to have either of the files in the iWeb folder. I only suggested you move Website A there so that it launches when you open iWeb.
To make this clear, the website stored in the iWeb folder will be loaded into iWeb when you launch the application. To load any other site stored in a separate folder you have to quit iWeb, go to that folder and click the domain file to launch it in the application.
With the new system in .Mac you can only publish one website. When you publish a second site it replaces the first. This backwards step by Apple seems incomprehensible to most of us and is causing users a lot of problems. There is a work around but it involves moving folders around on your iDisk. You'll find information in this forum.
.Mac was never the best way to publish sites and, with this recent restriction is less so.
I only use .Mac for testing out sites before I upload them to a web hosting service. The company I host with allows you 6 sites for about $7 per month. The response and reliability are way better than .Mac. To do this you publish your site to a folder and upload it to the server using FTP software. There is a bit of a learning curve but it is by no means difficult and the advantages are worth the effort.
If you decide to go this route and you choose a good hosting company you will get excellent tech support.
You can email me if you need help or recommendations for hosting and software.

  • How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (I accidentally saved the file iWeb is pointing to, and don't want it.  I want to use a prior back-up iWeb version.)

    How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (Made a mistake and don't want current file iWeb is pointing to)

    Thanks Roddy.
    FYI- I downloaded the "Domain.sites2" file from your page (because I deleted mine yeterday)  So now the file is sitting on my desktop in my "Download" window.
    I see the good back-up file I want to use on my desktop, but when I go to drag the file from my desktop and drop it in "Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb", it does not take.  I am not allowed to drop files on that iWeb page directly.  (I tried to drop the the "Domain.sites2" file from the Download window, but that also does not allow me to drag and drop it directly to the iWeb folder.)

  • Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

    Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

    Yes, it is doable.
    You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
    If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
    <virtual-server>
        <name>mydomain</name>
        <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
        <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
        <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
      </virtual-server>
      <virtual-server>
        <name>myotherdomain</name>
        <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
        <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
        <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
      </virtual-server>
    ....The important part here is that
    a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
    b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
    c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
    To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
    wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
    Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D

  • Another iWeb/MobileMe business site question...

    I have read the ToS and understand that you are not really supposed to use MobileMe to host a website on which items are sold. Is it also against the ToS to have a website that just provides information about your business (product descriptions, contact info, etc)?

    There are a lot of iWeb business sites on MMe.
    The general impression is that if you want more than just pages, iWeb/MMe is not suitable for business.
    So a webstore with a client database, online ordering and paymant is not possible, because MMe does not support PHP, SSI, CGI and MySQL. Cryptic words you need to do business.
    But having items for sale and use PayPal is a good combination.
    The moderators will no doubt modify this post if I said something that violates the Terms of Use.

  • Another iWeb publish question

    Using iWeb'06 on 10.4.11, wont publish to .Mac? theres no option to publish it to MobileMe? ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What do you mean by it won't publish to .Mac? Do you get a message?
    Try the following:
    1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
    3 - login with your correct username and password.
    4 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • IWeb question and feedback

    I've been testing iWeb '08 and putting it through its paces. It really does a good job if you know what you are doing. It is way more capable then the easy templates reveal. But first I have a question.
    If I want to include an external javascript file with a page, how do I get iWeb to publish it with all the other data? Right now I have to manually copy it to my publish folder after every time I publish. Not a very elegant solution.
    I also have one big request for the next version of iWeb. For some pages, I want to make the browser background transparent. HTML allows this but not iWeb. iWeb only offers a solid color or image. It would be so easy for Apple to include a "none" option for this field like they do the page background. Here's why this little detail is so important.
    When I use HTML snippets, I can put one iWeb page within another using iframes. I also overlay iframes for various effect. I need the embedded page browser backgrounds to be transparent so when the inline frame refreshes, the browser background doesn't wipe the iframe clean each time. This is what it does without the transparent option. It makes the whole inline frame look like a refresh instead of keeping the existing objects solid, except for the specific objects I want to change. It may seem a small detail but this goes a long way to making the site look solid and professional. Using transparent iframe overlays allows me to do some pretty nifty looking pages.
    Right now I have to post-process my files using a utility that does a multi-file find and replace. It is fast but it still is a hack job - not very Apple-like or elegant. What I end up doing is having every page that I want to be transparent use a certain known color code (ie. #000000) that I then search for and replace with the word "transparent". This does the trick, but again, not the way things should be with Apple software.
    This change I'm requesting in iWeb is not anything unreasonable or hard to implement. One Apple tech could do this in about 5 minutes. This opens iWeb up to doing iframes elegantly and enables iWeb to do amazing things without post-processing hacks. I know Apple wants to keep things simple but this one change does not jeopardize this for beginners, yet opens things up to us who are capable. It could make complex pages simple.
    Actually, I wish Apple would go even further and add a new option at the bottom next to web widgets. Call it the iFrame, or subpage, option. That way I could do inline frames without even resorting to HTML snippets. Have the details come up in the inspector too. This is more complex to add but even a more elegant solution. Newbies and simple templates could ignore this function but advanced web designers would flock to it.

    You are just talking to other users here, so make sure you also put in all your requests to Apple via the Provide iWeb Feedback item in the iWeb menu.

  • IWeb questions - Youtube and Videos.

    Hi,
    A few quick questions
    1) How do you put a link into a page so that visitors see the movie (let's say it's on Youtube) but are not directed to the actual page. Here is a link to a website that accesses one of my Youtube videos, yet it doesn't bring the visitor to Youtube.com. http://starsneverfade.com/callowayConcert.htm Here is another example of how someone access a video on my website without visiting my site. Both of these have my permission... but how was it done? http://www.davidgeist.com/rhapsodyinblue.html
    2) is it possible to put a Flash movie into Iweb? I have a few people grumbling that they cannot play Quicktime movies. I hear .flv movies are more compatible with Windows based computer... augh! Why doesn't everyone just buy a Mac and make my life easier?
    3) Is it possible to copy protect a video? What I'm asking is once I post a video is there a way to prevent people from downloading it?
    Thanks!
    Gary

    I have a large collection of sample pages with video: QuickTime, Flash Video, Windows Media, DivX, Real.
    http://web.mac.com/wyodor/iFrame/
    You use the object/embed code and paste it in a HTML Snippet.
    I usually use a separate custom HTML page to embed with the [iframe HTML element|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/iframe.html] or [object HTML element|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html].
    I have a few people grumbling that they cannot play Quicktime movies. I hear .flv movies are more compatible with Windows based computer... augh! Why doesn't everyone just buy a Mac and make my life easier?
    It's not Win or Mac. It's what you want. Flash Video has advantages over QT. And DivX has advantages over Flash Video. And Vimeo has advantages over YouTube. The samples will show you.
    3) Is it possible to copy protect a video? What I'm asking is once I post a video is there a way to prevent people from downloading it?
    If I can watch it, I can download it.

  • ILife 08 to 09 iWeb question (and a question about DW while I'm here)

    I was thinking of upgrading to iLife 09 for just a couple of reasons:
    (1) The iPhoto face recognition feature looks cool and I want to try it. I have tens of thousands of photos of friends from nearly 30 years in my iPhoto and it might be fun.
    (2) I basically like iWeb 08, but hate the way it deals with multiple sites. I always have to publish everything, but in iWeb 09 it looks like I can single out just a single site for publishing, even via FTP. is that right?
    Recently I also acquired Dreamweaver because of some work I'm doing for a company. But I find I can't even do basic simple things, like drag around text or insert a web widget (some HTML in a box) to move around and position - like I can do in iWeb.
    Are things like that possible in Dreamweaver?
    I can't even figure out how to add new text somewhere on a blank page in Dreamweaver. And everything I create looks boxy, plain and clunky. I am obviously not a web designer - I am a web application programmer.
    With Dreamweaver I feel like I stepped into some 20th century web authoring tool. With iWeb everything I create looks nice even though I have no artistic talent myself.
    doug

    I don't mind publishing to a folder and uploading using my FTP client, but it seems I have to publish ALL the sites each time to the folder and then just upload the one site's folder I was editing. So it takes a long time each time I publish to the folder. There is no way around that, is there?
    About my DW question, it was "in comparison to iWeb". If I asked in a Dreamweaver forum if DW could do this thing that iWeb could do, somebody would probably say, "Why don;t you ask your question on an iWeb forum?"
    Thanks,
    doug@hoping this discussion doesn't digress into whether I should post my question here or not

  • Bridge gallery and iWeb questions, newbie....

    Hi All....
    I have made myselve a page in iWeb but I´m not happy with the gallery-layout with thumpnails and small sized pictures, I would like my galleries to be scroll down type, OR just one picture at the time and nothing else, except "Next/previous" and a "Menu" sign, either in a good (>>>big pictures) size....
    I have this morning realized that I can do that in Bridge, so I have made myselve a testgallery and uploaded to my site via Bridge, and I can see in Filezilla that it is there, but I can´t see it on my page, off course because there´s no link between the two of them, the question is, how do I make my page show the gallery....???
    I haven´t been able to locate the testgallery on the web, as mentioned I can see in Filezilla that it is there somewhere, but how to find it out there I don´t know....
    My homepage is called www.easerfoto.dk and the gallery I have oploaded is called Bridgegallerytest, if it has any relevance....
    If anyone have a page that is made in Bridge and care to share how´s, then please step forward, I´m on zero here, any tip is appreciated....;-)
    Maybe I should mention that I am an complete NOOB on all this (managed to have Filezilla working first time last week), but want to learn....
    Bjarke

    When you created your gallery did you publish the file to a folder?  And was one of the files in that folder named index.htm or html?  Make sure the gallery works correctly by opening the index.html file with your browser from the gallery copy on your hard drive. 
    Then upload to the root directory of your account on the server.  The url would be something like this:  http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html.
    Put that URL in the iFrame code below in an HTML snippet. The iFrame code in the snippet would look like this:
    <iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src=" http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html"></iframe>
    Adjust the height and width dimensions to fit the size of the gallery you want on the page.
    Also for what it's worth there are other gallery types of presentations, some from iPhoto with a free plugin, that might be of interest to you:

  • Noob with some iweb questions...

    Let me clarify - im not a noob when it comes to mac & computers in general, but when it comes to web pages, how they're made, & hosted etc i have no idea!
    I have been using iweb08 to make my web page for my business. Its turning out really well but there are a few things i'd like to know...
    1. Can i add any flash (or moving) menus? nothing too complex but i really like those menus that expand with drop down boxes etc
    2. My business is a DJ/entertainment business & id like to add some music (my own productions) to some of the pages. What is the best way of doing that?
    3. Protection: how do I make sure my site doesnt get hacked? how is iweb security?
    4. Google searches - how do i optimize my site to make sure it comes up well in a google search
    5. Any good tutes around that may answer these questions & more? Free is good
    thanks in advance

  • Keynote to Iweb question?

    I've completely forgotten how to get a "slide show" built in Keynote 08 exported to my website. Could someone be so kind as to give me a step by step or send me a link with instructions. If I use Export or Send to...then what?? Thanks in advance.

    Don't be to quick to download the iWork '09 trial!! I downloaded the trial and was INCREDIBLY UPSET to find that +*I CANNOT SAVE EXPORT OR OTHERWISE PRESERVE MY WORK UNTIL I PURCHASE THE FULL PROGRAM!!*+
    I don't know who the dumdum @ Apple was that added this into the iWork '09 trial but this WAS NOT the case in the trial of iWork '08. I know that for a fact because I used the 30 day trial of '08 so that my mom & I could go back and forth and work on a presentation that she was giving that she had created in Keynote '08. I didn't yet have iWork @ all b/c when I originally looked @ it (when it was BRAND NEW) I wasn't terribly impressed w/ it.
    I downloaded the '08 trial and that convinced me that iWork really is a million times better than the programs that I had been using.
    This past weekend I was working on another Keynote presentation that my mom gave yesterday at a major statewide conference. I had received the email about all the new features of iWork & iLife 09 and decided that maybe I might be able to incorporate some of these new goodies into the final presentation for my mom's session @ the conference! Much to my dismay, when I go to save my file after making a few changes in the updated version of Keynote '09, I got this little dialog popping up saying that I couldn't save until I bought the full license!
    Thankfully, I hadn't yet upgraded Keynote on our other laptop! Don't get me wrong, I think that the update is well worth the price. In fact, I am going to be purchasing it when I upgrade my computers later this month. But I just wish that the geniuses at Apple wouldn't cause troubles like this!
    I don't know why they have placed this restriction on this version when it hasn't been on ANY OTHER TRIAL DOWNLOAD that I have gotten from them!
    Anyway, I've ranted & rambled on enough but oen other question?
    Does anybody know how (or even IF) you can UNINSTALL the iWork '09 Trial Version??
    Sorry for all my frustrated ramblings!

  • Yet another standby question...

    Hi gurus,
    Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
    On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
    The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
    Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
    db_name YELLOW - primary prod
    db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
    and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
    But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
    Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
    Thanks as usual,
    Maria

    well, that's a good question! :)
    because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
    Thanks for writing to me,
    M.
