From website to iweb?

Hi,
So I'm an idiot and seemed to have deleted my domain file from my iweb06. I went to start iweb08 and it's blank, no website at all. Now I'm going to be sick, so much work to redo. Anyway, I have the website published to a folder, is there ANY way that I can import it into iweb08 and go backwards????
HELP!

For what its worth I have made some video iWeb specific tutorials that may answer your questions and they are free at http://www.austalianmac.com, click on Tutorials and then iWeb 08
Tell me if they helped and if not then email me from the site and I will see what I can do. I am happy to make specific video tutorials if I know what to do to fix things.
Same problem happened to me but I fixed it in the end. Depends what you have on your site too I think. Good luck.

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

I've just finished building a new website with iWeb, I want to build a new site, how can I save the details from the first site?

Hi There.
I've been building a new website with iWeb. Its now complete, but I will need to keep all the detasils involved as I make amendments from time to time. Now I want to start a new site on a completely different subject. But every time I go to start the new site, it just seems to be 'papering' over the details of the old one. How can I begin a completely new site without overwriting the details of the previous site, and where do I save the original site details to for easy access.
Thanks,
Gerbles

To create a new site in the same domain file use the File ➙ New File menu option.

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb?

Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb? The instruction I found in Help only discussed adding a link from iWeb to HomePage. Since most of my family already accesses my HomePage, I'd like to be able to add a link to the iWeb pages
This is the only instruction I've been able to find in connection with this topic: "If you’ve previously published webpages using HomePage, those pages are still available at http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName. Websites you create in iWeb are available at http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iweb/SiteName. If you’ve created webpages using the .Mac HomePage feature, you can put a link to your old homepage on the first page of your new iWeb site. On your iDisk, your HomePage sites are stored in the Sites folder. Your iWeb sites are in the Web folder."
Thanks
I use both my Mac and my Dell

I'll try this, but why in the world should it be so complex? I'll let you know if it works. but how do we tell Apple/Mac that this shouldn't be rocket science, but rather something that's done with the click of a button. They're both .mac software products. Why can't they talk to each other?

How do I add tag words to my website in iweb

I need to learn how to add tag words to my website (in iweb).

The title tag and meta description are added to the HTML doc for each page of your website. You need to do this after you have published to a local folder from iWeb using the second method shown here...

Its a lot easier to use the third party software iWeb SEO Tool...

How can I find and edit my website on iWeb? It has disappeared

I created my website on iWeb and published it on Google. I have revised it a couple of times but now, when I open iWeb, the website is not there. I just get a new templatae. "Visit" is unavailable. If I try to open it from the Finder via iWeb, it goes to the same place. PS-I just upgraded to Lion!

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.

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
Site 1 folder
Site 2 folder
Site 3 folder
index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
http://doman_name.com/Site 2
http://doman_name.com/Site 3

iCloud does not provide website hosting. You will need to find another website hosting service - there are many to choose from - and upload your site there. How you do this depends on what version of iWeb you have.
In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site (some hosts may provide this), searching in the weblog, and a hits counter (again, some hosts can provide code for this). Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe (they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version does); however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.com - these depend on images which used to be hosted on MobileMe. The poster 'Old Toad' on the Apple Forums has provided a workaround, described at http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html.

Saving your website in iWeb before moving to new project

Hi there!
I have a questions and was wondering if anyone can help me. I've created a website in iWeb, which I've loaded to .Mac. Now I need to start another project and I fear that the new 1.1 update may cause some errors etc with my new project which may influance the already created/ exsisting website that I have in iWeb. My question is this, can I save my work somewhere, somehow so that in anything happens I can always retreave it?
Now, I do know of an option to Publish to Folder, but I don't think there is any way I can take my work from that Folder back to the iWeb to edit it. Or Can I?
Please help.

Look inside your home folder/Library/Application Support/
You will see a file called Domain. This is the file in which iWeb saves all information. This is the file you need to make a backup of in case anything happens. If you ever want to move your iWeb project to another computer, this is the file that you need to copy over into the same directory.
Might want to make a copy of the iWeb 1.0.1 application itself as well to go along with the 1.0.1 Domain file.

New computer - can't open my website in iweb

I just replaced my old computer and the new one that has iweb already installed. After logging into mobileme and opening iweb, the program doesn't show me my existing website. I checked under 'File' but 'visit published site' is not an option. What do I need to do to open and work on my existing website in iweb? Thanks.

Well, you actually need to be sure that you have backed up the correct file.
It is correct that if you have published pages from iWeb and they are html pages and files, then iWeb cannot import these - iWeb has no import facility and creates all the html code needed when you publish. If this is the case, then you will have to re-build your site from scratch.
The file where iWeb stores all data and this is the file that you need to be able to alter anything is your domain.sites2 file. It is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Note, it is your user library that you need to be looking in and not your system library.
Find your domain.sites file and you can make any alterations that you want and it is this file that you want to back up and nothing else - backing up a published site is no good, as you have already learned.

How do I upload PDFs to .Mac website with iWeb?

Is there a way to upload documents such as PDFs to my .Mac website with iWeb and then link to them from iWeb pages such as Blogs?
17" iMac (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, there are two ways of doing it:
The efficient, "every link points to the same guy" solution is to add the PDF to your page with Insert->Hyperlink->To File..., publish it, and copy the address into all references anywhere else (blogs).
The second way is to just link those PDFs locally in each reference. This isn't as efficient space-wise as above, but considerably easier.

Text from Photoshop to iWeb looks terrible

Hi
I am creating a website in iWeb and want to use a non web-safe font. I thought I could create the text in Photoshop and then drag it into iWeb as an image. I have Photoshop PS4 and am simply dragging and dropping the text from PS to iWeb. No matter what I do, the text looks terrible in iWeb. I've tried a couple of different things - rasterizing, anti-alias - but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a problem with iWeb or Photoshop. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
Melody

don't know if this is a problem with iWeb or Photoshop.
Neither.
Save the image as a tiff, png or eps file.
Then drag that image on the iWeb canvas.

Website Performance, IWeb velocity

Hello,
i published a Website with IWeb and the performance is state of the art, when using my Mac and may DSL Internet connection. On some computers the perfomance is terrible slow. It takes a lot of time when pages are building up and you can see the page being set together of the particular details (pictures, textboxes etc.).
In most ofe the cases it was a help to change from the terrible MSIE to Firefox or something else. But are there other tools or tricks to eccelerate the website? I am allready using Webcrusher, what safes up to 20% of data volume.
Did a make a basic mistake when designing the page layout?
The content is moderate compaired with other pages and i didnt use to much pictures and no big sized files like sound or clips.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Matthias

Sorry about the delay - I've just been trying out!
WSM will add the website folder on the iDisk from the "Configure" menu. It then optimizes the files and puts them in the WSM output folder on your hard drive. Probably not the answer you want to hear!
For me to try putting the output folder on my iDisk would cause me big problems but I don't see why it couldn't be done.
WSM will, of course, optimize and upload back to your iDisk, from the output folder, in one pass.
If you need a better answer, you can email Ton Brand at...
