How to publish self-contained iweb site?

I'm trying to publish a self-contained iweb site on a cd that will autorun, but I've had some problems:
1. The disk refuses to autorun on either a PC or a Mac
2. When I open the index on a PC, all of my text is highlighted in blue! It looks terrible!
Any suggestions would be great.

Assuming that you are not using any .Mac specific features, like counters or slideshows or passwords or search or comments...then using the "Publish to Folder" option would give you for all intents and purposes a "self-contained" website suitable for something like a CD. What you will end up inside your folder are two things....an index.html file and a folder (with the name of your site) containing all the pertinent files for your website. Simply drop these two items on your CD and burn.
All someone has to do is to click on the index.html file and it will launch a browser and your website. In terms of how to make it autorun, I'm not sure what to tell you. There are ways to do this, but I am not so sophisticated. I'd rather keep things simple...
What you could do rename the index.html file or an alias to the file something like "CLICK ME NOW!" and position it in the CD window so that it's the only thing visible to your viewers. That's how I would do it.

    That's exactly what you would get. Create a folder with a suitable name: publish to it. Zip it; email it. Tell them to start with the 'index.html' file inside the folder. The rest will follow - they will see it exactly as they would see an online site, links and all.
    Note that there is usually a 20MB limit on email attachments so if your site is image-heavy you might have a problem. An alternative is to post it to your webspace - you could post the zipped file and give them a link to it - that will download it (and it's a preferable way of handing a large file anyway, as they can download it at their convenience rather than being forced to in order to get their other mail).

    How do I get an iWeb site to show up on a google search?

    How soon will the GA page indicate that the code has been added and tracking started? I added the code to the my Demo and Tutorial Contents pages and GA still indicates that tracking hasn't been installed.
    I am using the full url to the analytics.js file in the HTML snippet:
    newScript.src = 'http://web.me.com/toad.hall/js/demoanalytics.js';
    The file shows up in the Activity window. I've done the same for the contents page of my tutorial site with the same results. The two sites are Tutorials and Demo.
    Any suggestions?

    You transfer it via CD or flash drive or whatever. You install it by simply dragging and dropping the file into the folder on the new machine which corresponds to the folder where you got in on the old one.

  • How can I make my iWeb site private?

    How can I make my iWeb site private with a password?

    The inbuilt facility to do this disappeared with the demise of MobileMe. It is possible: some ISPs offer this facility (GoDaddy is one) so you should start by checking whether yours does.
    If not, you can do it yourself provided your ISP allows you to add an .htaccess file to your foldere - not all do. Also it's not entirely straighforward if you are unfamiliar with the techniques involved.
    This page describes the method:

    Please note the caveats at the bottom of the page: this isn't a highly secure method and you should not rely on it to protect sensitive information.

  • How to upload and publish a non iweb site to mobile me

    How do I upload a website I made from a flash template to my mobile me server, I had a iweb website published there, now I want to use my same domain name and publish the new flash site I created to the mobile me server and disable the iweb site.

    Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
    You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

  • How can I import my iWeb sites??????

    I had a crash trying to install Leopard.
    I have reinstalled the original OS with my new Intel iMac. BUT - how can I get my web sites back into iWeb? I REALLY do not want to have to recreate all these pages! It's insane! Is it just ME, or is there absolutely NO WAY to import my stuff in the folder (which I backed up, luckily)? Or do I have to recreate the sites YET AGAIN? Is there no way to make separate web sites so that they don't have to ALL be published in the same folder and have to save and resave and resave EVERYTHING over and over every time I do a new page, or update or whatever. It's maddening.
    Judie

    THANK YOU!
    I just checked it out and it sounds too good to be true.
    I won't do anything with it until I have Leopard installed, but it's great to know it's there and the PRICE IS RIGHT!
    Also, about my install: We bought a 5 pack license and made a copy for me. SOMEONE didn't verify the disk and it obviously had a glitch. When it was checked it got to about 30% and I got a message that the disk wouldn't work. So I clicked whatever buttons I was told to and then got the blue/grey screen. It sat there so long I had to turn it off with the button. Perhaps it was trying to reset everything to before I tried the install, I don't know. So, the problem wasn't necessarily Leopard and my computer, but the disk to start with and perhaps I compounded it by not waiting for 28 hours for it to fix itself <G>. Anyway, I have to kick myself for not doing a back up of EVERYTHING, and my famous last words were "Nothing ever screws up with a mac."
    Lesson learned. I will have a 500G hard drive next week and this will never happen again.
    I will also disconnect all peripherals as I saw some people suggested that was causing problems. But, what is MOST annoying after the data loss is all the TIME that it takes to do this. I have work to do on this darned machine!
    Thanks again for the RapidWeaver tip, tboelsklfte.

  • How can I import my iweb site into iweb on my new laptop?

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro and transferred my files over from my PBG4 12-inch (great little laptop). However my iWeb files/site didn't seem to transfer over to my laptop. I found the files of on my PBG4, and thought I placed them in the correct folder on my one.
    Every time I open iWeb it asks to start a new site. How can I import my old iweb site into it and continue with it? Is there a way of doing it? I've a read a few posts some talk about the file 'Domain' in the Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    If I copy that file over to my new MacBook Pro, will my site be in iWeb again? I greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks.

    Isotopecrunch,
    Welcome to the iWeb forums!
    You are correct about referring to the Domain file; this is the file that contains all of your work created in iWeb, and the file that needs to be transferred to your new MacBook. There are some notes on how to do this here.
    Take the time also to make back up copies of this file, and keep them in a safe place.

  • How do I link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store?

    Hi all,
    I designed an iWeb site for a friend, she is hosted at Yahoo Small Business. She also wanted to use Yahoo ecommerce does anyone know how to link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store? Yahoo uses store tags which they tell me can't be used in iWeb I was hoping to just link the ecommerce store I created in Yahoo to a store link in iWeb like a separate page. But I don't know how or if that will work. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Marilyn

    Hi,
    LOL, you are absolutely correct I am moaning and groaning and you are correct about the tech suport the reason I am so frustrated.
    The website is www.papeteriecollections.com (iWeb)
    The Yahoo store is store.papeteriecollections.com
    The yahoo store is set up to the point of store tags. I was able to link the store to the site itself but not the items in the store to the items in the website. That's where the tags come in. From yahoo I copied their code from the item and then pasted it into iWeb. The link worked from iWeb back to the yahoo store, but not after publishing it. So then I tried the (html snippet) in iWeb and pasted the store tag code in there at the bottom of one of the items in my site, and order button appeared. (good thing) but it didn't work either. please see below:
    I hope this makes better sense and I apologize for being a baby!
    Thanks

  • *** Publishing only one iweb site to .mac

    I have a number of different sites creates in iWed that I normally upload to my own server and NOT my .mac account. I would like to clear my .mac space to 0 and then upload 1 of my entire movies there. I'd like to create the backdrop in iweb and publish this entire movie to my .mac account but I know that if I just go file>publish to .mac, that all my pages will upload to .mac.
    Is there a manual way to control this? Ideally I'm hoping it's possible within iweb, but I'm guessing it's not. If it's not, will it work if I publish my pages to a folder, and then select my movie .html and files folder and manually drop them into my idisk/movies folder? Will that then publish only my movie site to my .mac account?
    I'm not at the office today, so I'm just wondering if someone can give me a heads up if this may work. I'm trying to research in advance!
    Thanks everyone!

    Hi
    Your iWeb sites are contained in a domain.sites file, which lives here:
    User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites
    To separate sites, you need to have seperate domain files. You can do this by simply creating a second User Account on your Mac and creating the website there, and then use Publish to .mac.
    Or you can swap out the domain files manually or use something like Domains Juggler, from Cyclosaurus.
    There is some more info. on the How2 page of my site, www.willg4pb.com.

  • How can i optimise my iweb site

    how do I optimise my web site is the software in iweb?  Is this done before I publish or after I publish through the FTP server host?

    There are two types of optimization - search engine optimization and optimizing your files for faster download....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/SEO.html
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Optimize.html
    The first is done post publishing and before upload. The second is best done at the same time but can also be carried out when the files are on the server.

  • How can I upload my iWeb site to 2 different domain addresses?

    I have two different domain names, but I want to publish one iWeb site to both addresses.
    I can't work out how to do it, I was thinking to duplicate the whole site but using the other address. Then I would have to make indiviual changes to both sites when updating content etc.
    There must be an easier way to do this, I am missing something?

    Your info says you use iWeb 08.
    That means you publish to a folder.
    If so, iWeb is not involved. You decide what to do with the published files on the desktop.
    With iWeb 09 you only have one FTP address. To publish to another server you have to change the publish info.
    But everytime you do that, iWeb will publish the entire site.
    You can't have both. iWeb was not meant for that.
    Anyway, you provided the solution yourself : duplicate websites for each server.
    There's actually no need to make the changes in each site.
    Make changes in one site, and duplicate the page to the other site.
    Then publish.
