How do you get iWeb to look at a different folder?

I have two versions of my site (one slightly more updated than the other) on my hd, and want to point iweb to the newer one. I know how to point iweb to where it will be pulishing TO, as in godaddy, or my dropbox or whatever. But how do I change the folder it is publishing FROM, the folder that holds the site materials.
thanks!

NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks 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 in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.

How do you get iWeb not to reload my entire page?

How do you get iWeb not to reload my entire page content when clocking on internal links? Sometimes I just want to change one picture from one page to the next and want the remaining aspects of the site to stay as is so that your web browser essentially only loads one image and keeps the other stuff. I have seen this on basically all pro websites. THANKS!
Joel

What version of iWeb are you using? Also what system? What are you using to upload the site files to the server?

How do you get Openoffice to look more Gnome-like?

When you install OOo (version 2.2.1-3), some of the output in the termial says
use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde" or
use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" to preset your desired look,
or put it in /etc/profile, rc.local, or ~/.bashrc.
I have tried copying the line "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (without quotes) to my /etc/profile. Nothing changed, still looks like stock OOo.
Then tried to open soffice using info from the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenOffice#Setup
# OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome soffice
Again, no change. When soffice opens, it is the stock OOo appearance.
Tried adding "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (no quotes) into~.bashrc as noted in the wiki. Did not work, still stock OOo appearance.
Searching the our forums, Google, and the Arch wiki has yet to give me a clue. Looked at the 2.2.1-3 PKGBUILD, GTK switch is set to 'enable'.
I tried Abiword, it looks (as it should) Gnome-like. I would use but it is giving me problems with envelopes that the Abiword mail list has yet to be able to help. I know you can get OOo to look Gnome-like, you can see it in this screen shot:

What am I doing wrong?

I might be wrong but I believe you want export OOO FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome...NOT OOO_FORCE_DES... (remove the '_' between OOO and FORCE.) Thats what I have and looks fine to me.

How do you get iWeb to play audio automatically when a page is opened?

I noted elsewhere around here that all one had to do was replace some source that included "Quick Time JS" with other source, but I never actually found "Quick Time" in my iWeb-created pages. I bow in acknowledgment to the wisdom of the crowds...

JBraider:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you've added the music file to a page then you will have to do some post editing on that page's js file which will be in the the iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site Name/PageName_Files folder. The js file will be titled Page Name.js.
In that file look for the text autoplay="false" and change false to true and save. You will need to use a text editor. TextWrangler is a free application and is very good for this type of post publication editing. After saving the file, reload the page and that song will auto start.

How do you get fonts to look normal after upgrade to snow leopard

fuzzy or blurred on both imac and external acer 24 inch monitor.
anyone know how to get them back to normal?

I was having the problem of fuzzy fonts in Terminal (which I use a lot, being a UNIX guy). I use 14 pt Bold Courier New a lot, and it was fuzzy after my SL upgrade on a 21" iMac (2 Ghz dual core). I finally discovered the "antialias text" button in the Terminal preferences. In my case it was turned on for all of my terminals that had fuzzy fonts. I unclicked this button in all of my terminal preferences, and voila, clear fonts again.

How do you get black to look "dark black" when converting to PDF?

Some times when I convert my document to a PDF, the blacks show more as a grey. Sometimes ill see both gray and actual black on the same PDF. I know this has something to do with the "appearance of black" in the prefernaces but I cannot figure out what the proper settings are for this.

Well, Appereance of Black has sure something to do with that but it´s not the whole truth. If you are making RGB or Grayscale PDF, and you have your Print/Export Appereance of Black set as Rich Black, InDesign converts all your K100 Blacks to Rich Black. That doesn´t happen if you target Color Space (in PDF export or printing) is CMYK.
You can do that manually too, also for CMYK PDFs. Simply create new swatch, for instance C30, M0, Y0, K100 or if you want even deeper black, use C30, M30, Y30, K100. All the elements you color with this new swatch will be darker.
I wouldnt use that kind of rich black for text for printed documents, at least if text is small size. InDesign doesn´t overprint by default any other black than regular K100 black. And there might be some convergence issues too.

How do you get java regex to match two different pattern

Hi,
I am having trouble getting getting java regex to match two pattern: "unknown host" or "100%".
Here is a snippet of my code:
try{
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(" perl c:\\ping.pl");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( child.getInputStream() ));
String patternStr = "(unknown host | 100 %)";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternStr);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(" ");
String line = null;
while ( (line = in.readLine()) != null){
System.out.println(line);
matcher.reset(line);
if (matcher.find())
// line matches throws pattern
System.out.println("match string");
else
System.out.println("no matches");
I thought the "|" means OR but somehow it is not working.
kirk123

Hi,
with String patternStr = "(unknown host | 100 %)"; you are looking
for the strings "unknown host " OR " 100 %", with the spaces after host and before 100.
Try "(unknown host|100 %)"
hope, this will help you

How do you get a new file in a shared folder to inherit permissions

I have a shared folder that I share with a co-worker and having trouble with the permissions for new files/folders.
When he creates a new file or new folder, the permissions for that file/folder are set as read only for myself. The parent shared folder is set at "Read/Write" for both of us.
Is it possible to control the permissions for new files/folders?

Actually, that property used to go in the entry for that sharepoint in the "NetInfo" database, and really only worked properly when 'afpuse_parentowner' was also set. The .plist file controls the behaviour of the afp server as a whole, not that of individual share points.
I'm not sure what the "DirectoryService" equivalent is - a lot of the things have similar names but differ in "case", but some things are completely different or absent.
Unfortunately, I'm not equipped to test these things myself but changes can be made using 'dscl', or possibly by editing the flat files directly in a manner similar to what is described here:

How do I Get IWEB to open saved files?

Here's the problem...
I was building a "new site" to show my boss how easy and excellent the iweb program is for making any kind of site... (my site is www.crossfitmyrtlebeach.com) and i web was copying the site to my crossfit folders.
So I found "iwebSites" app program, and created '2' distinct sites.
And created this mock up of a site for my boss.
Then was UNABLE to open the CrossFit sites though all the folders showed up...
So... I've deleted ALL the files, and somewhere, somehow...the mockup is STILL showing up when I open IWEB.
Under my user/library/appsuprt/iweb folder...there is NOTHING in the folder... no domain site name, nothing.
Yet it is still opening up?
Can anyone advise how I can get Iweb to look at and OPEN the files saved in my CrossFit folder?
Or am a screwed?
Thanks

yeah, I found the file...put it BACK in the proper iweb support folder, along with the site files, etc.... seems to be working now..
Thanks!

How do I get iWeb to publish just the files to my root directory

Hey all, when I publish my site to my hosting server via iWeb it's just copying the entire folder into my root directory instead of copying the files to the root directory. This is causing my site url to look like this: www.mysite.com/myfolder/ how do I get iWeb to publich the files in the "myfolder" to my server instead of the entire folder?

I needed to do this while keeping ftp publishing inside iWeb, and so I developed a sneaky solution. I just figured this out, so there may be some extra steps in here. Here goes:
Find the iWeb application on the computer you are publishing from.
Control-Click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents".
In the window that appears, open the folder "Contents".
Control-Click on the folder "Resources" and choose "Get Info".
In the window that appears, open the "Sharing and Permissions" drop-down.
Click the lock in the lower-right corner and enter your password.
Where it says "Read Only" across from "Everyone", click the arrows and choose "Read and Write".
Close the "Info" window and open the "Resources" folder.
Find the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file and change the permissions (repeat steps 4-7 but with "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" instead of the "Resources" folder).
Open the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file in TextEdit.
Find the line "<string>/Web/Sites</string>".
Change it to "<string>/Web</string>".
Save and close the text file.
Restart iWeb.
Go to your publishing settings and enter the information for your server. Point the "Directory/Path" to the folder above your server's root web folder.
Set "Site Name" to the name of your server's web folder.
Make sure that none of the files in your server's web folder have the same name as those iWeb would upload.
Select File>Publish Entire Site.
It should now publish your site to "http://www.yourdomain.org/Home.html".
Hope it works!

HD died... how do I get iWeb "See" the existing published MobileMe website

Hard Drive died, lost everything. Apple replaced HD but could not save data on old drive. iWeb thinks it is "new" again and wants to start with a blank site. I have YEARS worth of published blog and content on my MobileMe account. How do I get iWeb to recognize this and not write over it destroying years of work?

Brian ~ With "years of work" at stake, you've probably prudently been regularly running some kind of backup, such as _Time Machine_ or SuperDuper! ...So wherever you've been backing up to, look for iWeb's Domain file — its filename ends in an invisible ".sites", so you could search for that. 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.
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:
