Edit site in iWeb

www.cerm.info
This was created with a old dated editor. Can this be transferred to iWeb?
John

Not automatically. iWeb cannot read or import html files, only create them. You'll have to recreate the site from scratch with iWeb. However, Chapter 2.3 of the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

  • How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

    How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the 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, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to manage two sites from iWeb

    Hi all
    I've built two different sites with iWeb, my personal site which goes to my .mac server and publishes there, no problem. I now have built another site for my girlfiends family business, and theirs will go to a differente host and server.
    The problem I have is that I have both sites now open, each with their own individual pages, etc (they both appear on the left column as headers), but I can't seem to isolate them for publishing purposes. In other words, I'd like to publish my site to .mac, and my girlfriends site to my hard drive for eventual upload to their server.
    When I go to publish, whether I select .mac or my hard drive (publish to another folder) it selects both sites at the same time, I.e. I can't publich them individually.
    The problem is that I end up with a copy of my personal webpage files on my hard drive, and a copy of their webpage files on my .mac!
    A further problem I see is that this publishing process creates just one index.html file, for both pages. So how can I use this html file to point it to their domain??
    Appreciate the help, thanks
    J

    J:
    To add another method to the mix here's how I manage multiple sites. Although they all go to my .Mac account this method can let me post any of them to any other server as I see fit.
    One way to handle multiple sites is to use iWebSites. 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.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want to where I want.

  • Restoring a site in iWeb after hard disk crash

    Hi all - I've had great help in answering my questions in the past. Thanks in advance.
    I used iWeb on a MacBook to create a site (www.thewarmfront.com) and the hard disk died on it. FYI - Applecare was fantastic. Quick turn - 1 day repair.
    Anyway, I have the site on the server, and as a zip file that I e-mailed to the webmaster. Can I simply unzip the file, and will iWeb recognize all the elements as its own?
    Or will the files need some manipulation to get iWeb working on that site on the Macbook?
    Thanks!

    I'm guessing the domain.sites would have been on the MacBook HD, correct?
    Let's approach this from a different angle. I have all the files that iWeb used to publish the site.
    I don't mind recreating the site, but if I can import most of it back in that would save me a lot of time.
    I have literally everything that iWeb uses to publish the site, all the files, .css, images, etc.
    Can I -
    a) edit a new domain.sites to recreate it?
    b) start a new 'The Warmfront' site on iWeb and import / cut paste the old files in?
    Thanks again...

  • Downloading FTP site into iWeb

    I have an FTP website which was written and uploaded some time ago from a Windows PC. I would now like to be able to edit the site from my home iMac.
    So far I have been unable to download the files from the site into iWeb.
    Can anyone please tell me how to download the files from my old FTP site into iWeb?

    iWeb cannot import webpages.
    If you want these pages in iWeb, add a new page and then copy/paste the content from your current webpage(s).
    Nice detail, if you copy text, do paste in iWeb. No need for adding a textbox first. The text will retain it's formatting.
    Images you simply drag from your webpage to the page in iWeb.

  • Canot edit site created on old mac notebook on my new one

    I created a site using iWeb on my old Mac notebook. Everything worked fine,
    Then I bought a new MacBook Pro and gave my old Mac to my partner, after deleting my acount and all data on it,
    I thought that since I have my iWeb data files on my iDisk and I am using the same .Mac account as before that I would be able to edit the existig site with my new notebook.
    However, whenever I open iWeb on the new MacBook, the only option I am presented with is to create a new site. If I say 'cancel' then the programme shuts down. There seems to be no option for opening and editing an existing site. I have searched through all the help and found no answers.
    Am I stuck with a website that cannot be edited and am I forced to re-do all the work I did because I upgraded my Mac? Is there no way to import that existing site into the iWeb on my new Mac?
    This whole experience is leaving me feeling very frustrated. I would appreciate very much finding out how to be able to edit my existing site with the new Mac I bought -- part of the reason for buyig it was better performance on iPhoto and thus making it easier (I thought) to use iWeb.

    Yes, unless you have a backup of the Domain file that was used to create the site.

  • Old site, new iWeb

    Hi all,
    i've just installed iWeb '08; now, how can i modified the web site i've done with iWeb 06?
    Bye, Marco.

    MarcoGT2, physiocare,
    iWeb08 operates much the same way iWeb06 did; it still keeps everything created in the application in a single file, Domain.sites. Even if you create more than one site in iWeb, by default all sites will be stored in this single file.
    Navigate to your existing Domain.sites file. You will find it in this location on your hard drive. Before you go any farther, you must make certain that you have a copy of this Domain.sites file available for a backup, should you encounter problems updating your site in the new version of iWeb.
    Copy the file to an external drive, if you have one. Flash drives work great for this, or even an iPod. For lack of anything else, burn a copy to a disk, and place an archived copy in a separate folder elsewhere on your machine.
    Once you have backed up this file, navigate back to it and double-click it. iWeb08 will inform you that the file needs to be updated. Click yes, and your Domain.sites file will be upgraded to a Domain.sites2 file.
    You are now ready to edit your site in iWeb 2.0.1.
