Editing a site created with Iweb - with another program

Hello,
I built a website for a friend and he wants to be able to make small changes on it from time to time and I downloaded a WYSIWYG editor and none of them are compatible with sites created with Iweb...
Does anyone have any suggestions? He runs a windows machine.
Thank you so much!!!

Well, not really. A lot of people have their sites built for them and then, with a little guidance, can change out photos, or do a little editing here and there. So your idea certainly has merit.
The problem is, iWeb is a unique html generator. It stores everything you create in the application in a single file, (Domain.sites2), and only the application itself can open this file for editing. iWeb doesn't even create the html until you publish the site, either to a folder or to an Apple server. iWeb also changes many things into .png files--including text--believe it or not, in a well intentioned effort to cross platform better with other browser applications. So even simple text editors, which would normally be fine for changing small things in most websites, will struggle.
Your idea was a good one; it is iWeb that isn't a good candidate for it.
You must therefore now convince this person to become an Apnewbie, and buy a Mac!

HT1338 I am looking to publish a web site I created in iWeb to another hosting provider. I have never published this site to MobileMe nor do I have a MobileMe account

I am looking to publish a web site I created in iWeb to another hosting provider. I have never published this site to MobileMe nor do I have a MobileMe account. Can someone please help me?

Hi Larry, no experience with iWeb, (which is ending soon), but what kind of files & folders does it make locally?
You need a Wb Hosting service & an ftp client, if you need more info reply with that & what kind of files/folders it made.

Edit actual site name in iWeb

Sorry but I've searched this topic and can't find anthing relevant.
All I want to do is edite the Site name in iWeb. I have the Site Publishing Settings window up and set to Publish to Mobile Me with the side bar to the left. At the top of the sidebar it shows the name of my site. Say it is PlanetEarth and I want to edit to planetearth. If I try this the site name reverts as soon as I tab out of the field. Same with the Site name field in the Publishing (top) section of the window.
Help would be appreciated.

OK got it. Seems to work if I right-click and rename.

Can I update a blog created in iWeb from another computer?

Hello Forum,
While I am away from my office base, I would like to update my blog (created using iWeb) from another computer. I have a dotmac account.
I thought doing this should pose no problems, but I simply can't figure it out.....
Hope someone can help me out on this one.
Many thanks in advance,
Greg

When you go to .mac and log in, you should see stories there regarding the features of .mac. One of the recent ones (should still be on the front page) is Tech note: Using iWeb on more than one Mac
Underneath this header, you'll find
"All you need to do is quit iWeb (if it’s open), locate the domain.sites file (Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites), and move it to wherever you’re going to use it. Then double-click the file in its new location. iWeb will launch, and you’re done. From then on, iWeb will automatically save your work in the new location, and you’ll be able to publish your site from any Mac that has access to it.
So, if your domain.sites is small enough to fit on your iDisk, you could keep a copy there and use it from any computer that has iWeb 1.1 or later installed to update your blog.

Does Camera Raw come with CC or another program?

Does Camera Raw come with CC or another program? I don't see it in the options.

Camera Raw is not a program, it is a plug-in/ extension for Photoshop, Bridge and other programs that latch onto this like when importing Raw files in video apps.

How do i edit a site created with iweb

I created a site last year with iweb, but now when I try to open it, it only lets me create a new site. I can see the thumbnail in my finder view, but cannot edit it. Help.
Thanks in advance

Try this:
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.

Does anyone know how I can edit a site created by another user on my imac?

Hi,
We are a family new to our imac. One of us created a site with iweb. Now I want to get to the site and edit it? I don't see the site when I start iweb...Can someone provide an answer and any recommendations on how to set up multiple sites so that we can share editing privileges?
Thanks!
imac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

elegantKB,
Welcome to Apple's Discussions area, and congratulations on your new iMac!
Here's what you need to know about creating/sharing websites with the iWeb application; iWeb stores everything you create with the app in a single file, called Domain.sites. It lives on the hard drive of the computer that created it here. If you duplicate/copy this file and move it to another Mac using the same version of iWeb, that machine will open it and you will be able to edit the site. If you configure the second machine to publish to the same .Mac account (assuming you are using .Mac), you can not only edit the site, but you can also publish the same from two separate machines.
You will need to keep track of the latest version of this Domain file if you share it.
Be careful with this file and back it up often. It contains every single page and/or Site that you create with iWeb.
See these notes for more details on how to edit and publish the same iWeb site from two separate machines.

How do I edit site created by iWeb on iWeb - oddly no option seems to exist

A year ago, I created a website with iWeb - saved it to a folder and uploaded it to our corporate server. I believe at some time in the past, I was able to quickly edit the package and rehost. Now I am unable to "find" the folder from iWeb. I placed the folder package in the Sites folder but there seems to be no option to load and edit the package from the iWeb menu - it keeps asking me to select templates and start from scratch.
I created the site in Tiger and am now running Leopard. Due to complications during the Leopard install, I had to replace my hard drive, but I was able to slowly migrate everything (?) back to the Leopard install. As I said previously, I have the website folder package and can open and verify that the contents are intact - I simply cannot find a way to get it into iWeb to edit it.
PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

I placed the folder package in the Sites folder but there seems to be no option to load and edit the package from the iWeb menu
Clearly you know very little about this application.
Due to complications during the Leopard install, I had to replace my hard drive
You're the only person I've ever heard of in the history of computers that claims to have ruined a hard drive with software. Clearly, you know little of operating systems as well.
I have the website folder package and can open and verify that the contents are intact - I simply cannot find a way to get it into iWeb to edit it.
This statement, again, clearly indicates the desire to import published html back into the iWeb application. This is the "root" of your post and Kirk spoke to it directly.
Your intentions here are clear to most of us; you really don't want to solve your problems--you would rather disrupt this forum. I myself answered your Leopard issue weeks and weeks ago, yet you continue to bash Apple with most of your posts.
They don't respond to you in the Leopard forums anymore. I suggest the good people here stop responding to you as well.

Is it possible to upload web pages created in IWEB to another type of site?

I have tried to read through a lot of the posts on here, and always seem to get lost after a few. I am trying to post a website that I am creating using IWEB to the internet. THe catch is that my .Mac account has expired, so I wanted to find another way to get them online. I am a high school teacher and trying to make a website for my classes. If anyone has any other ideas or information please let me know. I greatly appreciate all your time.

Click here for options, or if your ISP allows it, place the published files in the folder /Library/WebServer/Documents/ of your hard disk and start web sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences.

Multiple URLs for different sites created on iWeb?

When I created a second site and went to publish it, the site was given the same URL (web address) as the first site I created. Does iWeb not identify new sites with unique URLs? Essentially my question is does each MobileMe account only support a single website?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When publishing multiple sites to to a MobileMe account the last published site will be accessible via the simple URL: http://web.me.com/youraccountname/
However each site has it's own URL which would be:
http://web.me.com/youraccount_name/sitename
So you need to tack on the site name at the end of the simple URL.
For what it's worth I use iWebSites to manage over 40 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 several sites and only republish the one I want. It's something you might want to take a look at.

Site created on iWeb '08, but now only appears online, NOT in iWeb

I created a site on iWeb 08 and published it to web.me.com and to a folder (just in case!)
The site's currently viewable online, BUT now it's not in iWeb as one of my sites, so I can't make changes.
Anyone know if I can drag the site back into iWeb?

Anyone know if I can drag the site back into iWeb?
Welcome to the discussions. No, you can't drag the published site back into iWeb — only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
See also these Apple docs:
_iWeb ’08: Backing up your Domain file_
Recovering items using Time Machine and Spotlight
But Spotlight does not look in all areas of the hard drive. Download and run Find File to search for ".sites2".
Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Editing old site created in Dreamweaver

I have to edit my website (created by someone else in Dreamweaver for me about five years ago). The only thing I really need to change is the "last modified on ..." date - so a very simple edit.
I have all the files but can't remember how to edit them. I tried to open the "index" html file in Dreamweaver but it's not letting me make any edits in the code panel. Is that not the file that I need to edit?

Hi Kate,
sorry, didn't see before, that you already solved your editng problem. Here a hint in the ftp-direction and only to show you another way to all these really good and correct advices, I'll try to give my recommendation:
For various reasons I prefer to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server, with a program which works "outside" of the DW. Therefore I am using filezilla with great success and it looks for me easier to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:

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.

Can I manage sites created by iWeb from a browser like I could w/Homepage?

If I remember correctly, one could manage the sites published to Homepage from any browser. Can I still do that with sites published by iWeb?
I publish a lot of photo pages and sometimes I need to make changes to them from work where I use a linux box. I miss that part of Homepage...
Thank you for any help
Bo

RIP Homepage!
I think I will go to pBase for photo publishing from now on. It's the only other option for a clean uncluttered look for photo hosting. I sure will miss the easy workflow between iPhoto and iWeb though...
Thanks James.

Use a VI (with interface) in another program by DLL

Good afternoon,
I have a problem I cannot solve at all. I have an understoodable VI. It runs properly. I can make a dll of this VI. And I want to call this dll in another program. The problem is, I have to wrap the dll with VS 2003 C++ to run in Digital Micrograph. When I call the dll, I can not control it since I cannot access to the graphical interface of Labview. Is there a way to export the graphical front panel in another software on the basis of a dll ?
Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure if you are able to view the front panel elements to manually change them, but you can set up the front panel elements using the Connector Pane and then reference them in the function prototype during the DLL build:
Connect the front panel elements to the Connector Pane
2. Build a DLL using the Build Specifications item in the Project
3. Export your VI in the Source Files section in the pop-up that lets you configure your VI.
4. Once you click the blue arrow in step 3, you will be presented with a new popup to configure the function prototype (how you will call the function in Visual Studio).
This is where you can map the front panel elements to the C function. The "x", "y", and "return" refer to the controls/indicators in the first image. (For instance, the sample VI I used just summed 2 numbers using "add" function.)
NOTE: You must have the LabVIEW Run Time Library installed on any computer where you wish to reference this DLL.
