Edit iWeb 2.0 template site in iWeb 3.0?

This might be an old question, but a quick search didn't immediately reveal anything helpful.
Basically, I created a website in iWeb 2.0 and I'd like to go back and modify it - but I upgraded to iWeb 3.0 and the old templates are gone. So, yes, I can change text, etc, but I can't add a new page without choosing a new template. How can I get the 2.0 templates to be options in 3.0?

How can I get the 2.0 templates to be options in 3.0?
they should be there.
it's bigger problem to go from iweb3 back to iweb2 but it can be done, see my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9382549&#9382549
it's tedious if you have to switch from iweb3 to iweb2 all the time, but it can be one-click solution if you know AppleScript.
AppleScript can be a very powerful word processor, how are your with AppleScript?

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.

Tried to edit my site in iweb, gave me two homepages.. help?

hi prob a real noob question but i published my site with iweb and decided i wanted to change the theme and when i published my new site it created a new site thats not my homepage, my homepage is still the original theme, when i view my site from option box after publish it shows new site but its not my home adderess in my URL box its basiclly myhomepage/myhomepage/home.html when i go to www myhomepage com it shows my old site.... any help would be the greatest before i clean out the FTP and load fresh, its pretty big... that seems like the long way tho... thanks!

okay after a little more poking around and research i found that ( i think ) this happened due to me transfering my site to local folder then uploading using iweb SEO, when you publish a entire sight with iweb it creates a new folder in you root that is named after the sight name you added when setting up ftp.
   So i now have my site loaded in to my filemanager twice, if i make changes in iweb and "publish changes" it changes the "second" site which nobody see's because its not my real homepage URL ,like i said nobody looks at this except me when i click "visit my site" after publish and it takes me to my revised webpage. Which fooled me untill i went to my site via bookmarks.
http://www.mysite.com/home.html                                (real site up and working)
http://www.mysite.com/my_site/home.html                    (the one iweb revises thats not my real homepage)
in effect iv'e lost the ability to publish just my changes in iweb, i now have to publish entire site to local folder and upload entire site via iweb SEO (which must be done anyways to add/keep meta's and titles but i haven't assingened them yet) this overrights my real website, but is ALOT more time consuming everytime i want to make some small changes, HOW DO I FIX THIS???/
ive read of renaming the site in the ftp setup in iweb to your "default" page but i can't figure that out. Any pointers would be so appricitated THANKS

Can I increase site or template resolution in iWeb?

I know that I can increase resolution of a single page from 800 pixel width to whatever I prefer from the pallet menu, but I would like to increase resolution of entire template/site to 1024 width. Is there a way to do it? I searched forum and looked in help files and couldn't find anything on how to change resolution of the entire site vs. having to do it page by page.
Since most people access web with 1023 x 768 or higher resolution it would be nice for Apple to allow user to control resolution of the template/site somewhere in preferences.

Apple's own design award-winning site at apple.com mostly has a width of 980 pixels. Apple's developer guidelines for the iPhone/iPod touch say: "Safari on iPhone also sets the viewport width to 980 pixels, the width of most webpages." And: "...if your webpage is less than 980 pixels wide causing it to scale too small on iPhone..."

Can I load an existing site in iWeb?

I have a website that I put together with an old program I can't use in OS Leopard (wouldn't want to anyway). I want to start using iWeb to work on my web pages. Can I load the pages of my site into the iWeb program to edit? How do I do that? Thanks.

No, iWeb can't open, edit, or import an existing site.

I am trying to edit my website which was composed in iweb. I have my website saved on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't seem to load the website folder into iweb for editing purposes. Anyone know a quick solution to this?

I am trying to edit my website which, was composed on iweb about 2 years ago. I have the website stored on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't figure out how to load the website into iweb for editing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

You need to migrate to a modern, supported webpage development application and leave iWeb behind. It hasn't been supported for 2 years now and was behind the curve feature wise when it was dropped by Apple.
One app that many have migrated to because it is very similar to iWeb in the GUI and features is Everweb. It has a demo version that you can try. Text and photos from you current published site can be copied and pasted into Everweb to help the migration over.
There are other possible candidates. Just search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get a list of topics discussing them.

Can 'SUBSCRIBE' be removed from photo template pages in iWeb??

I am using photo template pages on my website (designed in iWeb 08). My site is an artist portfolio site so the photo template pages work well for dealing with all the art images I am posting.
One problem: there is a subscribe button on my pages which lets people subscribe to my iPhoto library. I cannot figure out how to remove it.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks!
Christine

Christine
Click on the Inspector at the bottom of your photo page, then click on the Photos Inspector (just to the left of RSS).
Next click on the Photos button, then uncheck "Allow visitors to subscribe".
The Subscribe button will disappear from your page.

Can not open existing sites in iWeb 09

I can't open sites that I built in iWeb 09 after my hard drive has been reformatted, I can only open new.

if you were using time machine or any other backup system you should be able to recover a copy of the domain file.
All your iweb work is in the domain file, if that isn't frequently backed up, you lose your edited work. Your published site should still be fine but if you republish iWeb now it will overwrite your published site and it will be gone as well.
By default, the "domain" file is in your user/library/application support/iWeb folder.
You will have to start over if you want to make changes to your published site. If you have to redevelop your site, publish to a local folder until you get it the way you want it, because when you publish to your server it will overwrite your existing site. in the future keep your domain file frequently backed up and keep copies somewhere other than your hard drive.
Hopefully you were using time machine, if not I feel your pain.
Sincerely, David

How do i open my pre existing iWeb created site in iWeb? (computer got wiped entirely without backup)

I have a pre exisiting website that i built with iweb about 2 years ago. Within the last month my computer got wiped entirely. I was unable to do a backup before this happened because it froze up in the middle of a software update. How do i open my site in iweb to continue editing it?? It is still online, is there a way to import it? Thank you!

Unfortunately, iWeb does not have an import feature. So, the website will need to be recreated. With, it being online you may be able to copy and paste your content from the site online to the one that you will be recreating in iWeb.

In using iWeb to publish my site with FileZilla, I have inadvertently published a subdirectory instead of the root site. Can anyone guide me?

In the site name I put my site: combustionevent.com
And I put in my server address in the ftp settings and correct user name & password
In the website URL I typed in: www.mysitet.com
But when it publishes, it's found at: http://www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/mysite_Home.html
I can't seem to figure out how to get it out of a subdirectory.
Thanks,

Well, of course you won't be able to because producing the site folder, which is what it is is normal practice for iWeb. Due to the site structure, iWeb will create and publish a site folder.
To get over this you have 2 choices:
1. Change the site name to something shorter and more applicable and upload again and keep the site folder.
2. Publish your site to a local folder from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to iWeb, but upload the CONTENTS ONLY of your site folder rather than the whole site folder itself. Your url will then be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.

Import existing site to iweb?

I'm switching from pc to mac, and having some web publishing issues.
I've got a couple existing published websites that I'd like to import onto my mac and edit. I opened iweb to try it out, and I can't seem to simply open the existing site within iweb. Is that possible?
If that's not possible, can someone recommend an HTML editor? I use Dreamweaver on my PC, but don't want to shell out an additional $399 for the mac version.
thanks.

I use BBEdit for all of my web development. It is very good but is geared towards advanced users.

Managing more than one site in iWeb

I've just created a new (second) site using iWeb. I want to edit my first website but, when I open iWeb, it opens my new site. How do I now get hold of my first (original) website to edit it?
N.b. My first (original) site is still up and running on the net.
Thanks in advance for help and advice.
Rob

Locate your domain file for your first website - it can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Note it is your User Library and not your System library. Double click on this and you will be able to alter your site.
Doesn't matter that it is still on the net - iWeb can't import so you need the domain file.

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.

IWeb ignores Dreamweaver templates. do we just need to ban IWeb users?

Just did a new site in Dreamweaver. Then a guy came in with iWeb and mangled it. iWeb completely ignores the template tags in the file. the web pages were damaged.
Do we just need to ban cheap programs like iWeb that hide the HTML to make it "user friendly"? Seems iWeb is creating a proprietary format template to make everyone use iWeb.

I have to agree with Tom here. It is impossible for iWeb to do this to a site created in Dreamweaver. iWeb cannot open a site such as this, as it is not an html editor and cannot import any site created in any other program. It is impossible for your web pages to be damaged by iWeb as iWeb as a program cannot open your Dreamweaver site. In iWeb, the html code is only created when the site is published either to a MobileMe account or to a folder.
All I can say is that if you don't like iWeb then don't use it. This forum is for iWeb users not Dreamweaver users. Surely there must be forums around for people that use Dreamweaver?

Unbelievable! iweb stopped showing my sites in navigation bar

I go to open iweb this morning and the sites I have been working on no longer popped up. I do have a file on my desktop with them (published to folder) but the software does not show these sites. anymore! It's asking me to create a "new" site. What happened?
1. How do I get iweb to "see" these files again (i know it doesnt import)
2. How do I get it to open in the way it was before with all of the sites in the navigation bar?
3. How will I be able to make edits on my published site if iweb doesnt keep these in the navigation bar?

Do a search on the HD for "domain.site" to see if you have another file somewhere on the HD that may be the one you used previously. I assume you don't have a backup strategy, right? If I'm worng and you do can you get a earlier copy of it to see if it has your more current site?
There's no other way to recreate you site but to start from scratch. You can, however, use some of the files in the published site, photos, graphics, etc. But that's about it.
