How to edit iWeb pages in Lion

After installing Lion, iWeb is gone.. searched the forum and many tips for other programs. But I will edit an old site built in iWeb.. Is there a program that can read iWeb projects without problems?

Are you sure the iWeb application is not in your Applications folder? If it is consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
If the iWeb application is not on your hard drive then reinstall it from the disks that came with your Mac. It will look like one of these:
Then apply the appropriate updaters.

How can I edit or remove iWeb pages from Mobile me after I have published it to another site?

I have published iweb pages to another server and now I need to replace the mobile me version with page "pages moved to..." or at least I need to delete old version. However I can't find any way to do this from mobile me or from iWeb.
From Mobile me I cant find any way to even delete pages.
With iWeb I cant edit the old version because I cant find way to have two version of same pages. As I understand what I need is a version of my republished pages that only contains the index page "pages moved to...". But I cant create that because I cant have two versions.

Editing Client's iWeb pages made by another Mac user

So I'm doing this for a client and assumed I'd be able to import the web pages someone else did on their Mac, on their iWeb into my Mac and my iWeb program. If I could do that, it would be easy.
Problem is it doesn't look like Apple wants people working on other people's iWeb pages. There is no open file, open folder, or import functionality that I can see. And of course always the path of least resistance is to publish it to your own .Mac.
I imported it into Dreamweaver but that seems to be like importing ImageReady web pages. They don't see eye to eye and it becomes a mess without trying too hard because I don't know all the code. Of course if I knew how to code myself like a bat out of ****, this would all be so simple, right? Then there is the idea of what will happen if the other mac user comes back to change or overwrite the work done outside of iWeb.
Thanks in advance for any support.

Of course you can edit an iWeb site created on a Mac on your Mac. You don't do it by importing however. All you need is a copy of their domain.sites file, where all the data is stored and you can easily edit it. Make a copy from User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and place the copy in the same place on your Mac and you will be able to edit away and then re-publish.
iWeb is not an html editor so cannot import, but if you have the domain.sites file you can do it.

Help! How do I edit existing iWeb pages from new computer?

I'm up a creek. I have a ton of pages published through iWeb using my desktop iMac G4. Recently the hard drive died. Eventually I'll have the hard drive replaced and files extracted, but in the meantime I don't know how to access my iWeb pages. I'm using my husband's iBook G4 now.
I didn't publish to folders, I just published right to our .mac account.
Thanks!

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sounds like this might be the case for you.
For your future reference, I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.aardvarkland.com

Can't edit my iWeb page

I have BIG BIG trouble with this web page. This is the web page:
http://web.mac.com/mamafonz/iWeb/Site/Susan%20Gross%20Educational%20Workshops.ht ml
Each workshop has a contact person. But iWeb has fouled up the email address of each contact person.
For example, The December 4 workshop contact person is
Beth Lillskau <[email protected]>
(The above was copied and pasted from my iWeb page.)
On my published web page, it says that Beth's email is <shannon@ ecentral.com>
The <shannon@ ecentral..> is the email of a workshop I did a couple of weeks ago. I deleted the information since the workshop is over. Somehow iWeb seems to want to keep old emails in like they were graphics or something!
This has happened all over the page! The emails of OTHER workshop contacts are listed with the wrong person's name.
I Web is making me crazy! Help! I need to constantly update this web page and iWeb just fouls it up.

For me it is correct. Your own browser is just seeing old stuff. Clear your cache.

Creating a frame within a iweb page

I would like to create a frame within one of my iweb pages so that I can maintain the navigation menu while incorporating expose photo slide (or any other external page to be displayed within my page).
Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think this is possible using iweb and must edit the source code.
Does anyone know if there are any templates out there I could just copy and past to get this done? i am simply looking to create a frame pretty much taking up the entire center of the existing page while leaving the navigation menu in tacked. Do appreciate the help!

How can I convert iWeb page to html with NO javascript for email campaign?

I have a holiday greeting I made in iWeb '09 for my business. The service I'm using to use to manage my mailing list wants me to strip all javascript code from the page so it is not seen as spam when it is emailed.
How can I convert the page made in iWeb to an html page with no javascript?
Thanks

How can I convert the page made in iWeb to an html page with no javascript?
You cannot. There will be nothing left. iWeb pages rely a lot on JavaScript.
Use a template from Mail.app. Or create such template. These are simple TABLES and have no JavaScript in it.
Do Cmd-Shift-G in the finder and type :
/Library/Application Support/Apple/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/
Open one of the folders and open each successive folder until you see files like Picnic.mailstationery.
Right-click to show the package content.
Then navigate thru Contents, Resources until you see the files and images you need.
Edit them to your hearts content.
Double-click the file Picnic.mailstationery and it will open in Mail.app for further processing.

Can you make a playing iWeb page ?

I made a nice set of two iWeb pages as Xmas greeting & annual letter (web.mac.com/vivekawn). But I would have been more satisfied if the home page could have opened with Winter Wonderland (it is a favorite). Trying to do this has, so far, given me a way to do it as I don't want it as link to start but the music opening automatically as the page unpacks itself.
Have anyone of you done and if so, how did you do it ?
Happy New Year!

Viv,
Kyn Drake has a really simple method for doing this outlined here:
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/zample/crab.html
(Beware of the crab... )
As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do in this manner also. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

Copying iweb pages from one computer to another

I have iweb pages operational on a G5.
I want to transfer them to iweb on my macbook instead.
I don't want to re-create them from scratch.
I have a .mac account.
Both iweb programs are the same version.
This is a mac! There must be an easy way to copy the web pages from one computer to another!
I explored the domain file route, copied the file from my G5 to the macbook, and did not get the pages I wanted. Instead I got the start page template. My information was not there.
Any help out there?

All your information is in a single file called "domain"
By default it should be located in your
user/library/application support/iWeb/ folder.
Find it, copy it, and move it to the new computer.
The first time you use it on the new computer double click the newly moved "domain" file to start up the iWeb application. Once you do that iWeb will remember that that is the file to open on start-up.
I use multiple computers to edit iWeb and to avoid confusion as to which "domain" file is the most recent, I just keep it on a flash drive. Be sure to keep "domain" backed up safely on your computers and off (CD disks, external hard drives, etc) because if you lose that one file, you've lost all your work. iWeb cannot edit published pages.
The reason you got blank pages is that you have to double click on the newly moved "domain" file to start up iWeb. Otherwise iWeb will start from the blank "domain" file that is already on the computer. You can have many "domain" files on the computer, If you start the iWeb application by clicking the iWeb icon, it will open the last "domain" file edited on that computer, which isn't the one you just moved. There is no other way to access your work.
Good luck, David

Tip: How to link to a non-iWeb page in the main navigation menu.

I've figured out an easy way to add a link to the main navigation menu which links to a URL of your choosing. For example, I have an older .Mac site using the now archaic HomePage. Instead of rebuilding all of my old pages in iWeb, I thought it would be nice to add a link to the old site from the top main navigation of the iWeb pages. Sounds easy, right? Apparently Apple has other ideas as iWeb doesn't allow you to do this.
Here's a work-a-round:
Step 1.) Open iWeb and add a new page to your iWeb site. Pick any template, it doesn't matter which one.
Step 2.) Change the page name to whatever you want using the page inspector. Whatever you choose as a name here will be reflected in the main navigation menu. For example, I named my page "Photo Archives".
Step 3.) You don't need to edit this new page at all. In fact, we're going to erase all of the content in it later. Now publish your site.
Step 4.) If you're using .Mac, mount your iDisk to your desktop. Then navigate through the folders to: Web -> Sites -> iWeb -> <Your Site Name>. If you're hosting your site somewhere else, navigate to your root directory.
Step 5.) You should now be looking at all of the files which make up your iWeb site. Open the dummy page we created in Step 2 in a text editor. I used BBEdit, but TextEdit (see note below) will work just fine. For example, my dummy page is named "Photo Archives.html".
Note: If you're going to use TextEdit, you need to select the checkbox "Ignore rich-text commands in HTML files" from the Open & Save pane of the Preferences dialog PRIOR to opening the file from your iDisk.
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" /></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you want.
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi,
I'm OK to step seven but in your example can you highlight or make bold the "url address part " I'm to replace with my own?
Thanks!
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and
Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the
URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.d
td"><html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></ti
tle><meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html"
/></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a
link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you
want.

When I send a link to my iweb page it doesn't open

If I want to send a link of my iweb page to someone, the way I do it is firstly open the page online, copy the link from the browsers address and then from mail I goto "add hyperlink" paste the link in and then send, all looks ok, but when the other person tries to open, the link will not.
I sent to myself to test and found that the link address once sent this way from mail, is different than the original. Where the original address would be %20 it is now %2520. The number 25 is placed in front of 20 numerous times through out the link and so of course the site won't open.
Would hugely appreciate any feedback,
thanks
torder

I decided to edit my post and add some more info but I guess I took too long. So here's an edited version:
Idea 1 - the simple method: Forget the "add hyperlink" part. Just paste the address into your email message by hand. It comes out as a hyperlink (though it does not appear so when you are crafting the message) and does not create the problem you are having.
Idea 2 - the prettier method: Use "add hyperlink" but do some editing first. When you paste the hyperlink into the box you must replace each "%20" with a space. The link will be displayed in your email message as you would like it to appear - with spaces instead of %20's - but the underlying link will have the %20's. I can't guarantee it will come out pretty with every email program and every preference setting someone might use but any good program should get it right.

Text in iWeb pages.

Dear all:
I am experiencing a problem with iWeb.
The text I create on iWeb pages don't seem to be rendered as text but rather images. After I created several pages for my business' web page, publish them to a folder and open with any browser (I use Safari) the text can't be selected but appears as one image block that I can drag just like an image and save to my desktop.
Is this the way iWeb handles text ?
This obviously represents a big problem as the pages can not be properly indexed with search engines such as Google and it affects the overall ranking of my business' web site.
How can iWeb create text that is rendered as text once pages are published ?
In case it can't what is one supposed to do to have the text on the pages appear as text to the spiders from search engines ?
Thank you in advance,
Joseph Chamberlain

This ALT tags you are referring to, are they the tags
associated with images for accessibility purposes
(visually impaired users) ?
I don't know if they are used in that way. I do know that this text in the ALT tags is displayed whenever the actual image becomes unavailable. Have a look at the source HTML of your own page to get an idea of what this looks like.
In regards to keywords how can one enter keywords for
differenet iWeb pages to improve ranking with search
engines ?
I think with the modern search engines like Google, keywords and other meta-information has become less useful and certainly not necessary to get your page indexed properly. These search engines work mostly off contextual information like the ALT tags and other things contained in the HTML code. If you would like to add meta information, that is certainly possible....but not through iWeb directly. You would need to edit the HTML and add them yourself. Here is a thread in which I have posted the general format...

Video on an iWeb page

Hi, I know how easy it is to drag and drop a video onto an iWeb page. I believe it uses QuickTime as the player. Is there a way to get a broader reach with the video though? For example, Mac users will have Quicktime so they would be able to see the video on the site by default. But what about those users on *that other OS* who don't have QuickTime. Is there a way to have the video use the default player (or maybe even embed a player into the site itself) such that site visitors won't have to download a plug-in or anything, which might turn them off right off the bat?
Thanks.

Any video format requires a browser plug-in be used to display it.
Flash Media requires Flash Player. Windows Media formats require Windows Media Player. Real Player formats require Real Player and QuickTime formats require QuickTime Player.
iWeb writes page code to use QuickTime. It's installed on all Macs and has been downloaded a half a billion times by PC users. It's bundled with iTunes for PC.
You could make more than one version of your file and hand edit the iWeb page code to include them or "link to file" so they could download the file.
Probably not worth the trouble once you investigate.

Embedded simpleviewer gallery in iWeb page

I've been doing a lot of research looking up on different sites and I've come up with a battle plan. I want to embed a simpleviewer gallery into my iweb page. Right now, I have a gallery set to open up in a separate window, and it's working fine. I'd either like to hide the address bar or embed the simpleviewer gallery right into the page, so instead of just the gallery opening up in its own webpage, the new page would include the rest of my links, and images. I think that an html snippet is the way to go, but I don't know how to obtain all the proper html to make it work. Does anybody know how to get it? iWeb's help section for html snippets is ironically incredibly unhelpful.
Here's a link to the gallery as it is now.
http://web.mac.com/soncraig/Cami&_Stevesv/index.html
I guess I should mention that I've seen it done before, I'm not just making something up. Here's a link to an autoviewer gallery that I've seen, and it's embedded into the iWeb page.

Okay, here's some code that you provided for a flash video.

Here's a link to my gallery,
http://web.mac.com/soncraig/Cami&_Stevesv/index.html
and here's a link to the rough page that I made for it
http://web.mac.com/soncraig/CraigSalmond_Photography/About2.html
Exactly which parts do I need to edit? I have a basic understanding of html, but I don't know how to link the gallery files to my iWeb page. Also, the Simpleviewer code doesn't look anything like some people say it should. For example, http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/SimpleViewer.html
Is this page not accurate? Is it dealing with an earlier version of Simpleviewer?
