BLOG ENTRIES on FTP

I have published my iweb on a ftp server but the blog entries doesn't appear ? what should I do?

Okay, I did some more research (which I should have done beforehand, I know, so sorry for bothering), and it turns out that my problem has indeed to do with my provider. Obviously, iWeb creates file and folder names with german umlaut characters (for instance, "Einträge", which means "entries"). This resulted in conflicts with file name restrictions on the server - something whether Apple nor my provider told me about in the first place. I'm pretty disappointed about this. Anyway, the server could not correctly link to files which were there, but included characters the server did not want to understand.
The solution: A guy from switzerland has written a little app called iWeb Translator, which does the nasty job of translating "the whole iWeb-Site to match the provider's constraints". This did the trick. The link: http://sschoenb.blogspot.com/2007/08/iweb-and-umlaut-characters.html. Thank you, man!

  • Removing some pages/files/archived blog entries with in a website

    I noticed on my iDisk there are pages/files/old blog entries that I had removed from my iWeb (on my computer, saved and then published to .Mac). I am getting close to running out of room on my .Mac/iDisk account that is why I saw that there were old pages still on the iDisk/.Mac that I thought I had removed. How do I completely remove these pages/files/old blog entries I no longer need or want?

    Hi Peter...
    Not sure what is going on here... but I do notice a mistake in the RSS.xml feed URL. When you publish to folder in iWeb, be sure to enter in the domain name of our site. Now in your case, you are uploading to a subdirectory "iwebrats", so you need to include that as well. So in the URL field box in the Publish to Folder window, you should be entering: http://www.petermaher.com/iwebrats/ This will ensure that iWeb generates a valid RSS/podcast feed URL for your site.
    Now on to your blog errors....it's behaving like you didn't upload the blog entry at all. When you do a publish to folder, iWeb will lay down two things inside this folder.... an index.html page and a folder (named after your site and containing a bunch of files associated with it). These are the two things that you should be uploading to your "iwebrats" subdirectory. You need to upload both items WITHOUT the enclosing folder. So when you look at your "iwebrats" subdirectory in your FTP program, you should see the index.html program and your sitefolder. Don't take anything out of the sitefolder...just upload it as is. Upload the two items as is, keeping the index.html file outside the site folder.
    Go back and double check your uploading. Maybe re-FTP things. I think you will see that your site will work.

  • Blog entry names

    I want to use FTP (Fetch) to upload only new blog entries, not the whole blog, to my own domain name. I found this, which tells how to do it (thank you very much!):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2679140&#2679140
    My question is, how do you tell which is the new blog entry when you save to a folder? The names are such long, gibberish-looking things, and the creation date is the same for all the entries. Does it save them in alphabetical order? Do I have to keep a list of all the blog names so I can look for the different one? (shudder)
    Thanks,
    Satya

    i don't blog on the website i have, but one way to do this is to upload everything.
    Alternatively, you could see what is different from what is on the FTP server and upload that.
    Good luck!

  • IWeb refuses to publish my latest blog entry

    I have ftp'ed into the server and deleted the whole thing. I re-published the whole site and the most recent blog entry just isn't there. In iWeb it is fine, I can get to it, it shows up in the archive, it is actually uploaded to the server, there are just no links to it anywhere on the site.
    Help.

    have a problem that apple support has just not been able to solve:( produced and published a website and hosting it through iweb. recently, any changes made in iweb will not publish - i tested a page in a new site and it published perfectly. am beginning to think there is something corrupt in my original site. i have backed up the domain to a portable drive - without rebuilding the bloody site, will it work if i delete the published site (which clearly has an error) and republish my latest version of the site? thanks in advance,

  • Blog entries on my web site don't show, error message

    Hi everyone,
    I'm fully aware that my question may be off topic since it is possible that my problem has to do with my internet provider rather than with iWeb. If so, I would like to apologise.
    Now this is what is puzzling me. I made my first web site using iWeb, and it looks pretty promising. When I click on the index file, my browser starts and shows me that everything works. I even managed to publish the site to a folder and to send the files via FTP to my provider. Everything seems to work just fine, all the pages show up, except for one thing - the blog page. What happens is this - online with my browser, I can see the blog overview with the first ten lines of each article. However, when I click on one of the blog entries to see the whole thing, I get a 404 error message telling me that the requested URL was not found on the server. But the files are there! Is there a way to "link" the blog entry files with the overview again? Or should I talk to my provider?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Default title on each blog entry

    When selecting a new blog, each one has its own default title and it also extends to each blog entry created. When it is changed on the first page, why doesnt it do the same on each entry page too? I am tired of changing the title every time I create a new page!!!

    You are going to have to add the BC tags to output your meta data on the Blog Post Layout.  You can find this layout in BC under Site Manager > Module Templates > Blog Layout > Blog Post Details Layout.  If you prefer to edit your layout via FTP you can find that layout in /Layouts/Blog/post.html
    In your layout add {tag_blogpostmetadescription} and {tag_blogpostmetatitle} where you need them.. typically it's in the HEAD element:
    <title>{tag_blogpostmetatitle}</title>
    <meta content="{tag_blogpostmetadescription}" name="description" />
    You can use any number of tags available to the blog post layout-- you can see those under "Blogs: post.html" at  http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/tags---quick-reference.html#id_32612
    While you're editing the blog post detail layout you could also add other metadata like the Facebook Open Graph meta information too, like <meta name="og:title" content="{tag_blogpostmetatitle}" />
    BC just made an update to the Blog engine which lets you add Open Graph or other meta data to the blog post detail layout.  For info about those blog changes see the BC Blog post at http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog/april-system-update

  • How to delete a blog entry in Lion Server Wiki?

    Anyone know how to do this?  It seems that even logged in as system administrator you cannot delete blog entries using the web interface. 
    Wiki help unhelpfully reports that "If Delete Page or Delete File isn't listed, you can't delete the page or file.".  Really?
    Thanks in advance for any help avail.

    The above works most of the time, but sometimes User accounts can be stubborn.  I setup an admin account, perhaps unecessarily, when installing lion on a new solid state hard drive.  After migrating my original Admin account over from the hard drive I had difficulty in removing the newly created Admin (method: I clicked the minus and deleted the home folder, checking 'erase home folder securely') which resulted in the acct. being downgraded to Standard.  Still it would show up at startup login screen.  Although logging in to this account (to attempt to logout and then reattempt the delete) was not possible (never ending spinning beachball - not what you want with 20G RAM and a top end SSD).
    Then I found this -

  • Blog entry didn't show up on blog summary page. ¿Por qué?

    RE: Blog
    Last night I wrote a blog entry, but the first few sentences did NOT show up on the blog summary page. I previously had set the blog entry length to be short (toggled far to the left), but there is a difference between a short length and NO length at all.
    Why do you suppose this happened?
    INFORMATION: Prior to writing the blog entry I was having difficulty with the picture not showing up on the blog entry page, and in trying to edit it and move text around I might have messed up some registration lines, or LINES. Could that have had an effect? I must say that of all the things involved in iWeb, this Blog feature has given me the most problems and made me the angriest. Just thinking about it right now has created a tight knot in my chest.

    Go back to your main blog summary page in iWeb. Open
    the Inspector to the RSS tab and slide the text
    excert slider to show ALL (all the way to the right).
    Does ANY of your blog text show up in this
    particular entry?
    .......... Lorna says ................................................
    Well, Inspector Tseng, I toggled to the *Show All* position, and heheheh, none of the blog entry showed on the blog summary page.
    If not, then perhaps you entered
    your text in a different text box....did you add a
    text box to the page? If it does, then maybe you
    have some preceding spaces in the text box? Or
    maybe you inserted a photo into the text box
    inadvertently?
    .......... Lorna says ................................................
    James, last night I was having so many dang blasted flippin cockamamie problems with the picture that I moved a bunch of things around and recall making a new text box and typing into it. Grrrr.
    I am going to return there and copy and paste and delete that page. I feel very bad that I cannot master the blog after so much stupid time. I also think that the blog needs to be more idiot proofed so that normally OK actions in other iWeb scenarios don't end up as yet another disaster on the ash heap of broken iWeb dreams.

  • Blog Summary Page: Pictures in blog entries are gone

    All of my blog entries on the blog summary page no longer display images set inside the text of an entry. Is this an iWeb 2.0 bug or "feature"?
    This is annoying, because with iWeb 1 I was able to share these pictures in my blog summary page and RSS feed. Now my blog and RSS readers have to click the "read more" link to see any pictures, even though I have set my blog summary length to the total entry.
    This is a serious loss of feature for no good reason, and I hope this is considered a bug and will be fixed soon.

    I was just getting ready to post a similar question when I ran across yours. I've been using Rapid Weaver for my blog and was thinking about switching over to iWeb, but until the pictures start showing up on the summary page (inside the text of an entry), iWeb is utterly non-functional for my purposes.
    The other thing I noticed is that none of the formatting (like bold or italics text) shows up inside the text of an entry on the summary page either.
    I, too, am very interested in whether this is a "bug" or a "feature."

  • Blog summary page echoes blog entry but not the pic...?

    My blog summary page echoes my blog entries' text but not the image file.  I either get the stock photo that comes in the template, or no image at all.  What's wrong?

    Never mind folks...Once I submitted this, I found an identical query in the "More LIke This" box at the side of this page that gave me my answer.  I have another question now that I'll pose in a new thread...

  • Help, my new Blog entries, since iLife '08 upgrade, don't show ANY text!

    Ever since upgrading to iLife '08, my new Blog entries do not show any of the text once it is uploaded to the server. In fact, all of my recent Blog entries now have all thier text gone when viewed online. Only Blog pages in "Archives" are still normal. What gives?! They all look good in iWeb, but not live. Thanks for your help. Wayne

    Hi Cedric. I went ahead and took down all recent changes to my site, and then just re-uploaded my last good set-up from iLife 2006. I think iLife 2008 changes how blog pages are addressed. As an example, my two most recent good entries show on the web as:
    http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/693901ED-99E6-42D3-8AA9-7F8338989B47.html
    http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/629035FF-E021-4B9D-AFE5-D091583E0676.html
    Notice the long string of numbers, letters, and dashes, after the word /Blog/? My iWeb in iLife 2008 no longer puts those types of strings at the end of /Blog/. Instead, the Blog web entries show as:
    http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26Tuning_In_With_Wayne_Henderson_podcast_39_%26_40%2C_by_Wayne_Henderson_Voice-ove rs(206)984-1446iPhone_GreenpeacePackers!.html (before I took it down because it wasn't working right).
    Could the fact that instead of the string of number, letters, and dashes after /Blog/, my iLife '08 uses "/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26_Tu....etc" have anything to do with my problem of text not showing?
    I've always used the same fonts, sizes, and colors. But now it's not working. What is weird, however, is that if I did Select All, and Copy and Paste the web page contents onto Notepad...the text IS THERE...just not showing on the web.
    Argh!

  • Publishing One Blog Entry At a Time

    I am going to use my website and blog page for a class I am going to teach, and I will use my blog page to assign journal assignments. I would like to do some of these in advance, but I only want to publish one entry at a time. Does that make sense? Can I do such a thing?
    Thanks!

    I don't think you can selectively withhold the publication of blog entries — once they're created, they're all published next time you publish.
    Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums and it's advisable not to use it for important projects — or perhaps for anything! ...For a success story with a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
    To blog or not to blog
    And to link to an external blog from iWeb's navbar:
    Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (Actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
    </script>
    ...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

  • How do I change the order of blog entries?

    How can I change the order of my blog entries? I want to add some extra items with an earlier date but iWeb won't let me drag the entries around and insists they must stay in the order of the creation date. What do I do?
    Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Chris...
    yeah, I'm probably not making myself clear... change the date on the podcast page entry. Select the entry you want to edit, then move your mouse down to the actual page that appears below. On that page, below the title, is a date. Change that. It will change the date published in the entry list above.
    Sunday, March 6, 2006
    This is the standard listing... day spelled out, Month and day number, year. iWeb has to see it in this format to make the changes above.

  • Restrictions on the size of blog entry

    When I publish a blog entry 200 words about it is appeared properly. But if I write a great article, I see only a blank space on the blog page. But on the front page of the blog in summary form, everything is fine. Does anyone know what is the problem.

    You might take a look at your System Profiler description of the machine.  Select "About this Mac" from the Apple menu, then click the "More Info" button (at least that's what is says in Tiger).  Or you can just launch System Profiler from the Utilities folder.
    In either event, you will open to a Hardware Overview like this (except yours will be for the laptop)
    Hardware Overview:

      CPU Type:          PowerPC 970  (2.2)
      Number Of CPUs:          2

    (Note, if you post, do not post your machine's serial number, which will be in the display.)
    That being said, my TiBook from 2003 now has a 160G Hitachi Travelstar in it, which was the largest IDE little drive I could get at the time.  If your machine is in that time frame or newer, you can put in pretty much anything they make now.  Of course, if it is truly a MacBook, then the SATA laptop drives are getting very big.
    You can get some more information at this OWC link which will allow you to see how big an IDE drive you can put into a G5 PowerBook.
