Deleted Site in iWeb

I deleted a site in iWeb. I need it back. Is a copy stored at .mac? I didn't have Time Machine running at the time, so I can't go back to a previous set-up.

iWeb does not recognize a website, only the domain file you do the editing in.
It's normally in +~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/+ folder.
So check your backup to locate that file : domain.sites2
You can drag it back to the folder mentioned above in your home directory.
Then double-click the file to make it the default file.
If it's only the published website you backup'd, then you have to start from scratch.

What happens if I delete a site in iweb? site still on the web? system?

B/c of my various issues i'm having since upgrading iweb, I created two test sites on iweb09. I was able to upload them to the web and to a folder.
I deleted both. Later, I created another test site with the same name (site 2). I noticed this one was acting weird.
I'm wondering what happens to the sites after they are deleted.
1. Are they available on the web?
2. Are they somewhere else on my system that I should make sure to delete?
Thx.

Deleting sites inside iweb does not have any effect on what has been published on a server or to a folder on your local drive. It just changes what is in iWeb's domain file.

Help I deleted my site from iweb

I was working on a new site and deleted my other site from iweb hoping I could find it again, is there any way to recover this site?

Not unless you have a backup of your Users folder.
If you publish to .mac, DON'T publish your new site until you have copied the folders in the Web>Sites>iWeb folder in your iDisk to another location. Publishing your new site will delete your previous site from your iDisk.
Once you have done this, you can move the folder for your first site to the Sites folder in your iDisk, and will be accessible through home page until you can rebuild the site. (If you can/want to do this, feel free to post back for more detailed instructions)

How do i publish to a public site through iweb for free?

how do i publish to a public site through iweb for free?

http://000webhost.com offers free web hosting, but, if no website is uploaded or it did not received more than 10 visitors in 30 days they will delete your account.
I opted for paid web hosting "IX Web hosting" which charges $3.95 a month

Cannot create new pages/sites in iWeb '08

I know this has been brought up so many times before. I read ALL of the posts.
I am unable to create any new pages or sites in iWeb'08. The plus sign is greyed out and command-N does nothing.
Here's what I've done:
Deleted all files associated with iWeb and re-installed from the original DVD.
Tried using the iWeb icon in iPhoto and iMovie (total of 20 times each). Nothing happens. The photos do not show up in iPhoto and I still can't do anything.
Can anyone please suggest something else to try. I have an existing website that I prefer to use iWeb for, but I cannot update it until I can use iWeb.
I can't believe Apple would release something this bad.

Email me at
[email protected]
and I'll send you a domain.sites2 file.
When you get it, quit iWeb, put it into Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and double click it to see if iWeb will launch and let you build a site.

Delete site in upgrading to Leopard

Hoping someone can help please. In upgrading to Leopard I accidently deleted my iWeb site from the sites folder. Is there a way do download it back from my .mac account?
Thanks

I just went thru exactly what you did. There were some things that were kept in my iDisk after I wiped my laptop. My photos were still there and some other stuff. I found it easy to create a new site, though it took three hours. If you go to your site on the web, you can select and copy some things and drop them into the new site in iWeb. Just make sure not to publish until you have copied everything you need from the webpage. You'll lose it when you publish the new one.

Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
Please Help . . .

I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

Constant error message when trying to publish sites in iWeb 2.0.1

Dear All,
I have a few sites in iWeb (mostly from iWeb 1) and after upgrading to iWeb 2, finding my old sites again and installing the update I decided to build a new site. On completion and trying to publish I get:
Publish Error: An unknown error occurred.
I've tried "publishing all" instead but no change. No problems with iDisk, Firewalls, .Mac etc, however it won't publish to a folder either so it must be the program. Any ideas? Apparently the 2.0.1 update was supposed to fix this, but obviously not.
Alex

Alex,
If it won't publish to a folder then there is an element/file in the site that iWeb 2.0.1 is choking on. Normally, even when iWeb produces a publish error during upload to .Mac, it will still write the html locally, to a folder.
Check to see if you have some unusual file extensions on pics or movies.
You can test the worthiness of your iWeb app by making a simple page with a blank Domain.sites file and seeing if you can publish it to a folder.

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

I have a password protected site in iweb, but how do I get my users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I built a password protected site in iweb and its published through mobileme. How do I get users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I wouldn't bother really - it would be best to concentrate your efforts now on finding another web host that you can move your site to because after the end of June this year, publishing to MobileMe won't be an option.
Have a look at GoDaddy, HostExcellence etc. and you can still password protect your website, but you just do this through your host/server rather than MMe.
Start looking now before it's too late!

Created site in IWEB 08, works on Safari but looks different with Firefox?

I created a site with Iweb 08. I used Safari as the viewing browser and was happy with how the site looked. I then used Fetch to FTP the folder to the web server. When viewing the page on the server with Safari it was great, but when viewed with Firefox it was all frigged up. I didn't try it with Internet Destroyer cause personally I don't like it. I then published the page folder to Web.Mac.Com. The site works great on both browsers when accessed through web.mac.com. Is there something missing when accessing the site on my original server? My thought now is to remove the site from the original server and just bite the bullet and fly it on web.mac.com. Appreciate any thoughts

I think part of my problem was trying to move content made with Dream Weaver into IWEB. My site was made with Dream weaver originally. I pasted it into IWEB, thinking it was possible to do. It was to a point. I had to redo all my links and buttons and so on, but the pictures and text content seemed to look fine. After somewhat completing the site I published to a folder and used Fetch FTP to move the site to the server I was using. That is when i got the different looks in different browsers. I then published to the .mac server as I had a 60 day free trial. Low and behold the site looked good on the 2 browsers I have on my new IMAC. I switched over to the Windows side of the IMAC and logged into the site with IE 7. It looked good there too. So I ended up going with the .mac account to host the site
www.unitedpuett.com. I then had to redirect from Network Solutions, my registrar for the site, so when the address was typed in it would direct to the .mac server. This was another chore but was solved easily by
http://networkcreators.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=492224%3ABlogPost%3A50148
It all seems to work as it should.
On another note, i read that Microsoft was releasing IE 8 beta. The big change was they were finally standardizing their browser to match all the others when opening pages.

Created a web site in iweb, i have a domain through godaddy, what resource can I use as host?

Created a web site in iweb. I have a domain name through GoDaddy, What resource should I use to make site public?

I would agree that it helps the newcomer to FTP to have a hosting service whose tech support understand the unique structure of iWeb created sites. I have lost count of the number of users who have asked me to sort out problems created by tech support employed by numerous hosting services - including the mighty GoDaddy.
A lot of tech support people don't seem to bother to look at the form and function of the iWeb index.html files and advise users that they have to rename their home page to "index". While this holds true for most websites, it certainly doesn't apply to iWeb.
Its not "simply the html and css files". How many users come unstuck when they forget about the feed.xml?
People who hand out advice in this forum about uploading files via "Cyberduck" tend to miss out the part about the importance of maintaining the site structure by uploading the whole folder created by iWeb plus the external index.html.
They also may not have been around back when I first announced that I uploaded the contents of the iWeb folder to get rid of the site name in the URL. I was shot down in flames by the iWeb "experts" and told that this was impossible - even although I was obviously doing it!
Although this method of uploading the files has become accepted practice in the iWeb community I wouldn't recommend it to those who are new to FTP unless they have help from a tech support person who actually understands the problems involved and can point out the downside. Those who claim that it is "simple" and "easy" have obviously forgotten the first time that they tried it!
A lot of the people who come to this forum for help with FTP end up in a complete mess due to the conflicting and inadequate advice they get due to the fact that the "adviser" hasn't a clue about the hosting account structure and can't view the actual files. In many cases, I have had to go into the users hosting account and sort out the mess created by bad advice and ignorance. This should really be done by the hosting service's tech support but, in many cases, they helped create the problem in the first place.
The mere fact that an iWeb user has to come to this forum for help with FTP seems to suggest that their hosting service has inferior tech support.

Published a site in iweb but looks different in the web browser

Hi,
I have published a site in iWeb but it looks different when viewed in the web browser having published a few times.
The pictures have small frames around which display perfectly i niweb but do not show in browser?
The navigation menu is all showing in iweb but again not showing in the web browser?
Not sure what I am doing wrong? I have tried to publish a few times.. checked that all the tick boxes show 'display navigation menu' etc?
Thanks
Toni

Since you do not provide real varifiable, factual information I searched for :

Is this you?
http://www.tonidarcy.co.uk/toni_darcy_photographer/toni_darcy._photographer._wel come..html
I noticed on the Pricing page that I cannot click the Gallery link. Something covering it?
Other pages have similar behaviour.
And there's no link for the home page. Perhaps you're hiding it.
And see if you can use a shorter, and different, Sitename. It is clear who you are. And just welcome is enough.
And empty the browser cache.
