Issues with a website created with Iweb

I'm hoping someone out there can help...
The site appears okay when viewed on a computer screen but...
The main problem that I'm having at the moment is with printing site content. When opened in Firefox, only the first page of content will show up in print preview, and print out. When opened in IE, all of the content pages show up in print preview but many of them are blank and print blank. Usually, the first page is okay, with the exception of the home page itself, where only the top menu shows up. In Safari, everything seems to be okay except for page breaks which sometimes go right through text or a picture.
Another problem I have is that the website pictures don't look too good when printed out. The colors are off a bit and the quality is not quite there. I've tested it on a few good printers. I had better appearance when I did this website previously with a cheap web editor.
Any good suggestions on why this is happening and what I can do to fix this?

If you have a page or pages that require to be printed out it is more sensible to offer this as a PDF download. That way you can make the layout of the PDF to suit a printed page.

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer with iweb
and republish it on another server, since mobile me would be gone on jun 2012.

You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

I am wanting to publish a website created in iweb via a third party web host. How do I put a password for anyone wishing to visit the mysite?

You create the usernames and passwords where you host your website. Made with or without iWeb.
Usually it's done in the controlpanel where you manage your account.
If you cannot do it there, you'll have to do it yourself. See this post :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16014940#16014940
And what is the purpose of password protection for ANYONE who vistis your site?

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

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.
Once you get the domain.sites file copied from your old Mac to the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your new Mac follow 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.

Unable to view error for website created on iWeb

We have hosted a website created on iWeb. When we access the site we often get the following error message. We contacted the hosting company, but they asked us to make the changes on the web pages as suggested in this error message in order to be able to view the actual error. Only then will they be able to help us out. Can someone help us incorporate these changes in our web pages.
Thanks

Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

In my first posting (just below my name) I've quoted the entire content of the error message that pops up. But it only pops on certain occasions, it doesn't happen every time. The other curious fact is that this message does not give you the actual error. It only tells you to make certain changes in your script so that you can view the error remotely. Therefore, until we are able to make these changes in the script or html code for the web page, we won't be able to know the actual error. When I tried to view the code or script of my web page, I didn't find a place where I could make these changes. Can you help me in this respect?
BTW I was trying to study the pattern of these error messages and I think I've found a correlation. However, I'm not sure if that could be a valid reason. It seems like every time I update my website, people get these error messages until about 3-6 hours after each of these updates. Once a reasonable time has elapsed after the update, the site seems to be working fine. Could it be due to a conflict between the older & newer versions of the web page being simultaneously resident on the site for a while after the update. Or could it be due to the change in the index file? Pl comment.
Thanks

Problems with accessing website created in iweb

Hi peops, Have created a website with iWeb and published it to my friends and family. Some can see it, but some get a 'NOT FOUND' message..... has anyone else had that problem? The site is not password protected....
iMac PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Some can see
it, but some get a 'NOT FOUND' message
Most likely this is because those getting the "not found" message are using a misspelled url. This can happen when you send a too-long version of the url by email or for other reasons. The url everyone should use is just
http://web.mac.com/username
It would help if you would provide your url here so people can verify there are no other problems.

Strange issue with iWeb site, please help

Hi everyone,
Until recently, I've been keeping an iWeb blog of my time in India. Nothing too complicated, just stories and photo albums. However, recently something strange has happened, and the website is no longer displaying correctly. It looks fine in iWeb, and when I publish it in a folder and open it locally, everything is fine. However, after uploading it to my hosting provider, it looks like this:
http://www.egbertopreis.nl/India/
(screenshot of what it looks like here: http://egbertopreis.nl/website_screenshot.PNG )
This is a screenshot from iWeb of what it should look like: http://www.egbertopreis.nl/iWeb_screenshot.png
I'm using the 'darkroom' theme, but as you can see, something is clearly wrong. It is not displaying the menu correctly, the layout looks strange and it isn't loading any of the articles. The other pages are accessible if you navigate there directly, but there you have the same problem.
It looks like, for some reason, the CSS and javascript elements cannot be loaded, although I have no idea why this might be the case. They are all just static files, and it worked fine until about a week ago.
Although I'm an IT professional, I have literally no idea what could cause a problem like this. I went with iWeb because I wanted to use an 'easy' solution and not over-engineer something for once
Usually what I'd do in a situation like this, is just purge the whole site and re-upload it. However, since I'm traveling around, I don't have fast internet access anywhere and the site is now so large that it would take forever to completely re-upload. This is also the reason why I can't troubleshoot it properly myself...
Any help (or even words of encouragement :-)) whatsoever would be extremely welcome. Thanks in advance!
Message was edited by: Heliode
Edit: Forgot to mention what I already tried myself;
- deleted the HTML and XML files and let iWeb do 'publish changes'. Everything was re-uploadeded, but issue remained.
- Deleted the 'Scripts' folder on the remote host, and manually re-uploaded from locally published folder. No effect.
- Tried randomly changing layout items in the hope that any potentially corrupted files might be overwritten after publishing. No effect.

Hi Roddy, thanks for your reply. It wasn't just me though; a lot of other people from back also reported the same issue. I was also getting the same thing from behind a wired connection. You can still see and experience the issue yourself if you look here.
I've since 'resolved' the issue by getting a .Mac trial account. A friend helped me move the whole blog over there, where the site works as it is supposed to:
http://web.me.com/eggmeister/India/
Therefore the issue has to be with the hosting. Right now I'm suspecting it might be some obscure configuration issue with the hosting company's server. Maybe something like too low a setting for Apache's 'MAX REQUESTS'. This might cause issues with all the javascript going on in the iWeb pages, loading elements back and forth. I'm in contact with the hosting provider, and will let you know what I find. Might be useful for future reference.

IE Scolling/Lag issues with IWeb Published Site

Has anyone had any issues with scrolling/lag with Internet Explorer on an iWeb published site? I have a site that runs great on Firefox and safari but terrible on Internet Explorer. I'm thinking it may be the template/design i used?
Anyone every seen this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
JC

I've only ever used the Modern Frame, so I can't say if there would be a performance issue using a different template. I have about three pictures on each page.
I noticed on your site that you're using the "reflection" effect on some of your pictures. Just for the purpose of testing, perhaps you could try turning off that effect and then re-uploading your site to see if that is causing some of the problem? I believe the reflection is rendered using javascript code, which may be causing the poor performance in IE. If that does turn out to be the problem, you can decide whether it's worth it to keep the effect or not.
By the way, I don't get that same error message in IE when I open your Videos page. Maybe it's caused by a security setting in your IE being set at a more restrictive level?

Multiple websites created in iWeb

Do I need to set up multiple .Mac accounts in order to have completely different websites that I create in iWeb? Or can I create different websites with my one iWeb account that I already have? Each website would have a different domain name purchased at GoDaddy.
If I set up separate .Mac accounts, how would I open them up separately in iWeb?
-speakercarole

I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites. It has been updated for complete compatibility with iWeb 2.l 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.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

I am having issues with iWeb where my slide shows aren't displaying when I upload to Yahoo. Any thoughts?.

I created this site using iWeb 3.0.4, and everything works great when I publish to a folder on my desktop. I have tried to upload the site to a Yahoo server using the FTP app inside iWeb as well as fethch, and neither one is sucessful at loading correctly. I have received a vague "User permissions denied" message on both apps, but everything seems to be there.

Instead of looking for another host, why not solve the problem?
Logic tells me to remove the spaces from the filenames.
And no, there is no setting in Cyberduck to do that for you. You do the removing.
And why not look for webhosting in your own community?

Issues with iWeb and movies

While I can view my iWeb movies in Firefox, I cannot view my iWeb movies in Safari.
Here's the link: http://web.me.com/digit.al/TabbyCommunion/Movie2.html
Can some one please help me. I can't figure this one out.

Both movies play OK for me. You do have them misidentified, however. Try clearing Safari's cache (CommandOptionE) and reload the site.

Hi
I thought that I would start a thread so that you can show people here your website to help inspire them with their own creations.
Here is mine which maybe not the best website in the world, but I have kept it very simple to work mostly as an online portfolio so clients can get an idea of what I do as a photographer.

hello Mireille, thanks a lot for the feedback. I actually tweaked a few things after I read what you wrote. I added easier navigation to the pages, and im still brainstorming the Welcome page but I made it a bit tighter so it can be appealing. i was gonna ask you how are the Film links running. i know on some computers they run a bit slow (maybe just the browser). i still got a lot of work to do on it and things to learn. i hope you enjoy the videos if you get to see them.
anyways, about your site.
i really like it and im actually surprised you can make a pro-like website like that on iweb. makes me want to step my game up with mine. i love the whole concept and how informative it is, im most likely going to view it for some french lessons one of these days. my only critique would be that it was a bit easy to get lost sometimes, especially if youre trying to explore all your content. also there is a part in your page that has all the words and things in a big mess. i believe it's this link: http://www.mireillegreen.com/French_resources/Vocabulaire.html and then when you click on the grammaire link in that inside box you can see the problem. other than that minor thing, i think its great. thanks a lot and i hope we can keep giving each other feedback.
