Buy & Sell Tools for new iWeb site

Hello,
I've had a Hompage website business for sometime, but with iWeb and the fact that somehow my business can now be Googled has made me take a hard look at what I created and how I am going to shape it into a sucessful small business.
My biggest concern is that I do not have any real buy & sell tools to go with my business. I ran across a mention in this forum about RegNow, but I honestly cannot figure out what they actually do. I want some legitimate enterprise to provide the tools I need so my credit card customers can buy from me. I would also like for my customers to have the ability of tracking their order as well.
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

You could just set-up a Paypal on your site and that would be easy and effective. Look here to find out how to get a Paypal button on your site:

If you shipped through UPS or Fed-Ex you could e-mail your customers a tracking number so they can track their order.
Check out http://iWebTricks.com for other iWeb tips and place your mark on my Guestmap (that I just figured out how to open in a new custom-sized window) while you're there.

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Movie freezes on my new iWeb site

Just tried to publish my movie (1G) (new user) to my new iWeb site (new user)... It takes forever to load (is the file too big?) and then when finally loaded it freezes with ever other photo or so and will not play smoothly. It's been frustrating and I would really appreciate your help! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, a 1 G movie is way too big for a web site. How did you create the movie? Have you looked into ways to reduce it's size. Quicktime Player can reduce a movie's size to meet several criteria as shown in the File->Export for Web settings window:
Click to view full size
That can reduce it somewhat. If you bring the movie into iMovie you can export it to a MobileMe gallery in multiple sizes to fit the viewer's internet connection speed and device.
Click to view full size
The resulting gallery can be inserted into a web page using iFrame code and an HTML snippet as in this demo page: Adding a MMe Gallery from iMovie 09. This is predicated on you having a MobileMe account where you're hosting the site.
A way to add the movie to a page and have the page load fully without having to have the movie load are demonstrated here:
Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player
Still another alternative would be to convert the movie to flash and use that. Flash conversions are generally much smaller than Quicktime files. You can learn more about that at:
http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/FlashVideo.html
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Movies.html
The bottom line is: 1 GB is way too large.

How to copy iWeb blog to new iWeb site?

Hi Folks,
I am able to successfully move, via drag and drop, my blog from an old iWeb site to a new one in iWeb.
However, what I want to do is to preserve the old blog as a backup, and them start updating and chagging the blog contet in the new iWeb site. I actually use the blog on my site as a way to list courses.
I've tried to copy files in the iWeb site files, and then reopen iWeb, and I can't see the blog page listed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Inoshi

To be able to drop and drag from one site to another in iWeb, you firstly need to have iWeb 09. You then need to open the relevant domain.sites file and you need to have the sites underneath each other, so Site1 above and then Site2 below and all you do is just click on the Blog page on Site1 and just drag it over and down to Site2.
You can't do it individually, but you need to drag from one site to another.
I would also advise that you don't use the iWeb blog, as it is not that good and there are better alternatives out there.
You might like to look at some new software too such as EverWeb - http://www.everwebapp.com. It is very like iWeb, but is actively supported and developed whereas for the last 2 years, iWeb has not been and has not been sold by Apple either.
If you wanted a better blogging system, you could transfer your whole website into WordPress.org. You need to install it on a server at your web host, but it might serve you better and you can create a blog it you want to and you can extend it with the use of plugins. Would not take too long to re-create depending on the size of your site and it is relatively easy to use compared to the other CMS's.
Think about changing before iWeb becomes unusable.

How can I make my old Homepage take me directly to my new iWeb site???

Is there I way I can have it so people don't first have to "land on" a .Mac homepage and then push a "button" to get to the new iWeb site?
It would be GREAT if anyone knew a way to do this... I am so excited with my new site, but need it to replace my old .Mac homepage (or at least make it so people are automatically redirected to the new iWeb page)
Anyone have some ideas??

They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.
How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song
Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
I have over 3500 purchased
Really?
3500 purchased songs?

How do I change the default bookmark name for my iWeb site?

I'm not sure where the label is coming from that automatically appears as the bookmarked name for my iWeb site and I want to change it.

I found my answer in the archived discussion "Bookmarking my site". It worked - thanks!

Directory for my iWeb site

How do I create a directory for my iWeb site?

You will have to do it manually, a first page using whatever template seems to fit best and then create a link and description of each item you want in the directory. Something like this maybe? It could have links to the pages or not.

Elder "domain" file opens only new iWeb site

Hi folks,
[I'm a newbie on this site, tried to find the answer in other topics, but couldn't find....]
While buying a new hard disk, I made a simple backup of my old folders on my Ipod. Importing user/library/application support/iWeb/domain on to my (new) desktop, it's only starting up iWeb application, opening the choose...option, or a new test-site I recently made.
How to activate the elder domain (with a fullsize website in it) ?
[I can control-open domain, forcing to show the Html and see my text as text only]

Hi Tom and others,
'm not sure what you are trying to do, but opening a Domain file >>accomplishes nothing. The Domain file must be read by the iWeb app
Shortly, the trouble is that bringing in the old "domain" file from my backup disk into the iWeb/application support - file [after deleting the newly formed "domain"-file], it doesn't affect the starting up iWeb at all. The app is always giving a new start-up: You only can choose for a new template.
So I don't want to change anything, I only want to add my old site after having cleaned up my original hard-disk [and making a backup by hand]
In fact there are some more files in the Library that form the "old" site. There is a iweb.plist, there are cache files including maps with cache-code. There are also specific preferences, there are even Thumbnails with a date filing in it. But you can't force iWeb to read these all, because it makes a new file after starting up, not being able to open something that was made before.
However, there is one thing that gives me hope: the resouces of the "old" domain are showing in the media browser.......after I changed one of the new preference files with the old one.
friendly regards and thanks for helping me so kind,

Can't Upload new iWeb Site

Ok, so I had my old iWeb site uploaded everything was great. I modified the look and now I can't seem to get the **** thing uploaded. I have tried three different programs. I've tried Cyberduck, Fetch, and one I saw on here Easy iWeb Publisher v1.2.3.
Every freak'n time I try they disconnect on me. For example, Cyberduck and Fetch timeout and disconnect on the 'about us.css' file. it's only 4K, but it will not load it. What is going on? I'm so completely frustrated. I leave for LA in one day and I need to get this site uploaded. Please help!

I would roll with you on that one, except my old site
had the exact same titles and it worked fine. I have
been trying to upload this new version of our site
for a full 24 hours and yet I only have about 4 pages
loaded. iWeb really need to have ftp features with
options to choose publish only changed pages, etc.
This really has nothing to do with iWeb. The current various dedicated ftp programs have more options than iWeb would ever likely have itself. Any problems you are having are the result of issues with your host or your connection or your ftp operation. Your host ought to be able to look at logs and find out what's going wrong and fix it.

Can anybody recommend a UK based host for an iWeb site?

I need to know where to host my iweb site with the least technical difficulty.I have seen on ichat HomeExcellence which sounds ok buy it is US based.

24/7 tech support is a lot more important than location. I've been using Host Excellence for 7 years now and haven't found any reason to change.
Their associated service - IXWebhosting - offers really good value for those who only have one site but need the option fo another dedicated IP address. Their tech support has been really helpful to those to whom I have recommended this service as you will see here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
Most tech support people don't seem to understand how iWeb creates sites and can be rather unhelpful.
One of the main advantages of the above mentioned services is the fact that they allow you to create a root folder with the same name as your site in iWeb. This goes a long way to helping you understand the concept of the root folder and the file/folder structure on the server.

Which web hosting company for my iWeb site?

Hi everyone.
I was going to let my iWeb site just die with MobileMe, but decided to go ahead and get hosting for it to keep it online. I'm trying find advice on which company to choose. After looking online I saw this one company called Little Oak is a mac web hosting company, and they are offering a 25% discount right now to host websites (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012
Can anyone vouch for their reputation? Or can you offer up any other companies that I should consider?
Thank you.
Anne.

I use Little Oak for my site, and I can genuinely recommended. They are great. And in regards to pricing, it is relative. You can find really budget and cheap hosting, you can even find free hosting. But you usually get what you pay for. I would stay away from free hosting if you want decent service. I really like and value the service I get from LO. And that 25% coupon looks like a good reason to try them. I've called or IM with them at all hours of the day, and always get great service.
Its true that most web hosting companies offer similar prices and packages, what you really want to see if a companies reputation for service, because when things go wrong, you want to be sure you are going to be taken care of.
I'm sure whoever you go with, they will be able to help you move your site over. Here is a help sheet from Apple to get you started: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4686).

Made a tool to reduce iWeb site size

Hi!
I created a small tool to reduce the size of iWeb sites.
The manual can be found here:
http://software.bitwaves.de/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6
The tool can be downloaded here:
http://software.bitwaves.de/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=5
(Uses java webstart to always give you the latest'n'greatest version)
I don't have iWeb, since I live in germany and have no copy yet. As soon as it arrives I will do some more checking.
In the meantime, please download the tool and send me info on how well it works for you in the forum:
http://software.bitwaves.de/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6
(Please backup your iWeb sites prior to using this tool on them, it's in beta stage)
Regards,
Normen

It does work, to a extent. The navigation bar images dissapeared but the links stayed there. The quality of the jpg pics was decreased too much. Anyway, a great attempt! The only critic I have for iWeb is the inefficient use it makes of files that repeat in more than one page and this program does a good attempt trying to solve it. Let me know when you have v. 2.0

How do i BUY tunes on the new itunes site / store

how do I BUY tunes on the new i tunes site / store

It should be clearly visible when you're on an album page, e.g.
If you're looking at individual tracks, it's always been the case that you click the button with the price.
If that doesn't help, please post back and let us know what specific item(s) you're looking at so we can check it and see if there's perhaps a problem with a particular item.

Default "Reader" group for new Project Site to include AD group automatically

I'd like to add "Domain Users" to the readers group for all new Project Sites, as well as the "PMO" AD group to the Owners group for each site automatically as the site is created.
Is there a way in Project Server 2013 to do that via config? I'm able to write it programmatically, but don't want to do that if there's an easier way. We simply don't have time to push that code through right now.
Thanks,
Bill Richardson

I think the only option is to do this programmatically via a custom Project Server event handler. You would probably want it to fire on the Project published events and may the WSS created event.

Using iMovie to create movies for an iWeb site

Hi, all:
Relative Mac noob; please be kind. I think I'm going to answer my own question, anyway, but I thought I'd ask... and I'll cross-post in the iWeb section, too.
I am planning to add some movies to my site. I've done the preliminary layout work, and just need to edit and upload the video.
Up to now, I have always used, and am comfortable with, iMovie HD 6. I've never used iMovie '08, even though I installed the iLife '08 upgrade two months ago.
Which version of iMovie - '08 or HD 6 - is better suited to the task of editing digital video that will be added to an iWeb site? One source file is a QuickTime movie I've already got; the rest of the video I'll be shooting in the coming week or so.
I think that the older version of iMovie is going to suit me better, 1) b/c I already know it and 2) it has more powerful editing capabilities, no?
Thanks,
Bill from CT

Which version of iMovie - '08 or HD 6 - is better suited to the task of editing digital video that will be added to an iWeb site?
As always, use the editor that has the features needed for the project.
