Classroom creating one iWeb site

I have a class of about 30 students. If I create one .Mac account, can they all post pages to a common iWeb site using the same account info?
Each student will have their own pages that they are responsible for, so overwriting pages by other students shouldn't be an issue.
Their domain files will travel with them as part of their networked accounts.
Would .Mac Groups help at all?

If you are using iWeb08, there will be difficulties encountered trying to publish from multiple Domain.sites files, (i.e., multiple computers), to the same .Mac directory. iWeb08 (2.0.1) will erase previously published sites on the iDisk with another site published from a separate Domain.
The easiest workaround is for the students to all configure their computers to the same .Mac account in System Preferences, and then from iWeb on their machines, publish their sites/pages to folders, using the Publish to a folder... command in the file menu. They would then drop these pages into the Sites directory on the iDisk, and the urls for these pages would simply be:
homepage.mac.com/accountname/nameofpage
If you are wanting all of the students to be able to update the exact same site, they would all have to share the same Domain.sites file, which is not practical at all.
If they were all using iWeb 1.1.2, they could publish separate sites, from separate Domain.sites files, to the same .Mac space on the iDisk. They just need to make certain that each site is named differently...I can already see pranks executed, where a student learns/views the site name of another student, and then intentionally overwrites that site with another version of that site's name.
You sure you want to moderate such a situation?

  • How can I export one iWeb site (of two) out to another user

    I am working in Lion. I created two iweb sites - one for me and one for another user. I am trying to export the files to that user so he can continue updates. But when i make copies of the site it is linked to my site. How do I separate and export the files to him? Thanks!

    HI Ben,
    Unfortunately the other website - let's call it Charles - is not listed separately - it has somehow joined with mine. So if I delete his I delete mine. Something happened when I upgraded to Lion and they became joined' somehow.
    I do see the file in Library but I still don't know how to separate them.
    Thanks!

  • Working one iWeb site from two Macs

    I have two Macs, and use my desktop for working at home, and my laptop for working away, or when on holiday for working with photographs and, hopefully, blogs. I set up my iWeb site initially using the desktop, and then tried to edit the site using my laptop, only to find that it cannot, seemingly, be done.
    Help! Does anyone know how to edit one iWeb site from two machines, or is there, perhaps, a practicable workaround?

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on your desktop machine at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on your laptop. Launch iWeb and you'll see your desktop site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect:

  • Several .Mac group members working on one iWeb site

    How could I do to allow another member of my dotmac group to edit our iWeb Site ?
    Should I put the Domain file in iWeb/Groups/my_group/Documents and a link in the username/App Support/iWeb directory ?
    Does this work ?
    Is there a simple way for several people to work on one iWeb site via the internet ?

    That's a pretty good workaround, but then you'd have to make sure that each person also has disabled the newer Arial fonts placed there by Microsoft or you'd have your pages rendered as text when published by one person and as graphics when published by another.
    Plus, you'd have to manually make sure that only one person was editing it at a time. If you can work through these issues, then you may be able to get exactly what you want.

  • How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

    I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
    other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
    be able to give a person's site to them.
    I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
    Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
    another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
    the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
    of mine?
    thank you in advance,
    Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

    First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
    You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
    Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
    Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
    Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

  • How do I create two iWeb sites using a single .Mac account?

    I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
    When I read related forum posts, it would seem to me that one site would overwrite the other site when I publish. Yes or no?

    I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using
    iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is
    this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
    If you just do the obvious and use File > New Site in iWeb, you do create two distinct sites with different urls. However, you cannot exactly duplicate page names in the sites or publish changes in one without publishing changes in the other. The short default url web.mac.com/username/iWeb normally goes to the top site on the list within iWeb.
    If you create two sites with distinct names in different accounts on your machine, they should not overwrite each other, and they should also have distinct urls. However I think that the
    index.html file which tells browsers what to do with the default short url web.mac.com/username/iWeb may get confused, so that deleting that or modifying it manually might be desirable.

  • Creating 2nd IWeb site

    Hi everyone
    This has probably been answered somewhere but I would like it in simple terms as I am a simple lad. I currently have 1 site on iweb http://www.swanhuntershipyard.co.uk
    What I want is to create another site which will be used to promote my other photography work and will go under the name of http://madiephotography.co.uk
    Is it just a simple case of going into Iweb 08 and clicking on file then creating a new site?
    My worry is that I will loose my 1st site when I update the 2nd site. Will this happen or will they run side by side?
    If anyone is running more than 1 site on Iweb 08 successfully could they give me a idiots step by step guide on how to do it. I would really appreciate the help.
    Many thanks

    macnikon:
    As already mentioned you can have multiple sites in either a single MobileMe account or another hosting server. I found it best to have each web site in its own domain file. I use iWebSites to manage over 45 individual 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 original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit and publish only the site I want.
    When you setup domain name forwarding to your second site and it's hosted on a MobileMe account the URL for that site would be:L
    http://web.me.com/youraccount_name/sitename

  • Multiple Blogs on ONE iweb site?

    Can someone please advise me if it's possible to install multiple blogs - which are written by different people - on the same site created using iweb?

    Well, it should be possible, and it is, but there is some general trouble with blogs/comments/podcasts in iWeb3.
    You can have a look at my site with two blogs. I don't know what causes the problem of disappearing index page images and faulty rss feeds, but it can't be the existance of two blogs on one site. It worked perfectly in iWeb2.
    This is the blog that is creating problems, the one called 'blog' is ok:
    http://web.me.com/heli1/OneHundredPoems/%E3%83%96%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B0/%E3%83%96%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B0.html
    Could it be the Japanese name that is causing trouble?
    I don't think so, because I have another site with only one blog, and that is having the same trouble of misplaced images in the index page and bad rss feed.
    You could try making two blogs and see what happens. I think it should not be a problem. However, having a blog in itself can be a problem.
    We could compare results. Maybe I could learn a trick or two.

  • How can I public more than one iWeb site ?

    Dear iLife users, I have a website http://www.inmokvc.com created with iWeb a couple of years ago and still online, now I would like to bring online a second website also created with iWeb but can't bring it online: I have a new domain name for my second site but how can I get 2 diferent sites online at the same time ?

    can't bring it online:
    What is happening exactly?
    I have a new domain name for my second site but how can I get 2 diferent sites online at the same time ?
    You just publish your second site to MobileMe and use url forwarding to point your second domain name to your second site. It is exactly the same thing you did with your first site, the only change is that the url you forward to is different, i.e http://web.mac.com/konstantijnvc/secondsitename

  • *** Publishing only one iweb site to .mac

    I have a number of different sites creates in iWed that I normally upload to my own server and NOT my .mac account. I would like to clear my .mac space to 0 and then upload 1 of my entire movies there. I'd like to create the backdrop in iweb and publish this entire movie to my .mac account but I know that if I just go file>publish to .mac, that all my pages will upload to .mac.
    Is there a manual way to control this? Ideally I'm hoping it's possible within iweb, but I'm guessing it's not. If it's not, will it work if I publish my pages to a folder, and then select my movie .html and files folder and manually drop them into my idisk/movies folder? Will that then publish only my movie site to my .mac account?
    I'm not at the office today, so I'm just wondering if someone can give me a heads up if this may work. I'm trying to research in advance!
    Thanks everyone!

    Hi
    Your iWeb sites are contained in a domain.sites file, which lives here:
    User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites
    To separate sites, you need to have seperate domain files. You can do this by simply creating a second User Account on your Mac and creating the website there, and then use Publish to .mac.
    Or you can swap out the domain files manually or use something like Domains Juggler, from Cyclosaurus.
    There is some more info. on the How2 page of my site, www.willg4pb.com.

  • I have two me accounts  - how do I switch from one  iweb site to the other

    I have two me accounts and want to run two seperate iweb accounts but when I used iweb in either it shows the same webpage
    So whether I sign in as one account or the other - iweb only remembers the last updates I made and applies them to both so I cant use it for two different accounts with totally different sets of content
    how do I make different web pages for different accounts?

    Go into iWeb and create your sites and then save them. Then log into your first MME account under system preferences and then open iWeb and click on Publish All to MMe and that site will be published.
    Go back to System Preferences and then log out of one account and then log back into the other account. Once logged into this account, then go back to iWeb and click on your second site and then click on Publish All to MMe and that site will be published to that account - it will show at the bottom of the screen.
    The other way to do it is on your main computer, set up two more user accounts and have both your MME accounts under the two different user accounts so you can switch easily between the two.

  • Can't Get Hyperlink To Work From One iWeb Site To Another

    I created a "family" website, including a blog page. In a recent blog, I briefly announced that my two nieces just completed a two-week adventure in the African bush. I have created a second website using iWeb which is a simple photo page. I had hoped to hyperlink from my blog entry by saying that anyone interested in seeing the pictures of their trip "click here". I then used the Insert>Hyperlink>Choose dialog to place the URL of the second site as the hyperlink file.
    No such luck. When the "click here" hyperlink is clicked in site #1 to navigate to site #2, all one gets is an error message.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Desktop G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I found out what I was doing wrong. In the hyperlink window I was trying to type in the URL for the second website on iWeb. Instead, there are pull down menus to permit the selection of another iWeb page or site as the link. It's working smoothly now.

  • Transferring pages from one iweb site to another

    Thank you for any feedback or suggestions.
    I have finally gotten a separate .mac & iweb account for my business. Now I would like to take my business pages/site off my personal iweb account and transfer everything to the business iweb. How do you do that?
    Following the threads on these forums I managed to get a second user, new .mac, etc. Thank you for all that help.

    Hi there,
    The only way to move iWeb pages from one user account to another is to move the Domain.sites2 file where iWeb stores its files. To find that file go to
    User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
    If you can’t find it here search for it with spotlight. Note that the extension .sites (iWeb 1.0) or .sites2 (iWeb 2.0) may be hidden, also search for Domain only. To see if a Domain file is iWeb ’06 or iWeb ’08 select the file press Command(Apple)+i under "Name & Extension" you will find that it is .sites or .sites2.
    Once you found it duplicate it (Command(Apple)+D). They are now completely independent from each other. So when you make a change to one site it will be saved only to that Domain file and not to the other.
    Now take the copy of the Domain file and transfer it from one user account to the other.
    To transfer your domain.sites2 file from one user account to the other you can put it on a USB-Stick, External Harddrive, on a CD/DVD or whatever. Not a great idea if you have a large Domain.sites2 is to send it by e-mail.
    To get the site showing up in iWeb just open the Domain.sites file by double clicking on it and your sites and pages will show up on the left side in the iWeb page browser. Note that the location, where you put the file, doesn’t matter.
    As you already created your and your business’ website they are both in the Domain file. What you then have to do, once you have it on both user accounts, is to delete your private website in business' account and the business' site in your private account. The rest will be preserved.
    NOTE 1: Note that you have to change permissions of the Domain file to be able to edit, save changes and publish a website from another user account and from another computer as well.
    Select Domain file press Command(Apple)+i under Ownership & Permissions go to =>Details =>Others and select Read & Write
    You have to do that in the original user account and computer in which the Domain file was created.
    If you don’t change permissions you will find an error while publishing and saving.
    Remember to always have a Backup of both Domain files. It's REALLY important.

  • How can I import one iweb site from my laptop to my iMac, which already has four sites built on it?

    I created a website on my laptop using iweb, and would like to export the project so I can import it into the iWeb on my iMac, which already has four other sites that I created in it.  I can't seem to find any info or threads on being able to import just one project INTO my iWeb folder when there are already other sites I do not want to lose...anyone know how I can do this?  I can only find info on exporting and importing the entire DOMAIN file...
    Any help much appreciated.

  • Can I and How do I copy from one iWeb site to another.

    I currently have a few different versions of my web site stored as different doman.sites I would like to copy a blog entry from one into another. Is it possible to do that and if so how. I am sure I could copy all the text and all the pictures separtly and then paste them in, but that would be tendious as I would either have to keep opening and closing iWeb between the different versions or have them both open on separte accounts on my computer and keep jumping back and forth between them. Any suggestions? Let me know.
