Iweb 08 new site

I know its a bit cheeky, but if anyone has created a new site using the new features of iweb 08, can i have a look at it? Cheers, Rob.

Here's my web site:
http://www.theblueparrot.info
It's a pop culture/entertainment blog site with new content 6 days a week.
I had been using iWeb Enhancer to add html snippets so using the Widgets is a pretty simple change. I've got a Paypal button and an Amazon Honor System button, as well as a Technorati piece. Some of my blog entries have had YouTube videos as well. All seem to work ok, so far.
I'll also be adding a Photo gallery in the next few days. Little by little.
The site has some formatting issues with the Safari 3 Beta, but so far so good in Firefox and on IE on the pc side of the world.
The most annoying issue is the naviagtion bar won't display properly.
I have another site I'll be exporting to a non dot mac host later today. Will be interesting to see how it makes the transition.
I haven't had any issues with iWeb crashing and find it is a bit faster in some things, especially when publishing.
Overall, my iWeb '08 experience has been postive.

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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 applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, 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.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate

When I open iWeb it does not "Highlight" the New site or new page options. It ahs had this issue for over a year! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. What do I do? It opens the tutorial video, then when you close it, nothing else is clickable.

Open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option. That has jump started iWeb for others. I could take a couple of tries.
If that doesn't work try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.

3 - launch iWeb and try again.

This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
Troubleshooting suggestions:
Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
is the problem with
iweb or with hosting?
One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
Thanks VG

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

New Site created in iWeb '08 (My experiences)

Ok...So after I installed iLife '08 I went ahead, after carefully making backups, and opened iWeb. Low an behold I started experiencing allot of the issues described on the board.
The one thing I did do that it doesn't seem like anyone else is doing is I decided to recreate each page seperately instead of trying to edit the old site. It sounds crazy and unnecessarily time consuming but it actually works.
I haven't had any issues with the new site at all and things are running smooth. I have another site that I manage that I'm going to start working on now and will relay that experience here once it's complete.
Lastly, I use Coda for post-editing functions, etc. and all went well on that end also.

If anyone else has a site that was actually finished via iWork '08 please post it as well.

Hi to everybody !
My iLife 08 package arrived last Thursday and I enthusiasticly installed it and started to open my domain file.
The template on which my site bases (www.kg-pharma.de) was purchased from lifestuff and worked fine so far.
Sure I klicked on "update file" and then saw my file just looking fine on first glance.
But the complete navigation menu was missing !!!
I checked in the inspector and found that the "show navigation bar" was not hooked.
So I hooked and the nav bar appeared, but on the completely wrong side (left side) and with unformatted text. looked horrible.
Formatting impossible, dissable the "show nav bar" also impossible.
I found a post that iWeb 2.0 will not take old templates from 3rd party (at the moment) and being aware that iLifestuff does not exist any more I decided to change domain into a original iWeb template.
So I started to insert new Site (iWeb 1.0 template "modern"), copied all pics/text from old to new and deleted old site.
That worked fine for a while, but after starting next morning I found that a number of pictures are missing. This problem became worse after reopening again, more and mor pics were missing.
Pasting them again did not help, bloody ****, what to do ?
I read that starting from scratch with a iWeb 2.0 will solve the problem, but NO WAY !
I made a new test domain with pictures and had SAME problem, first everything was fine, then after closing and reopen iWeb pics were missing !!
I have no other choice, then to wait until Apple will fix the problem, just cant waste my time with startint again and again from scratch.
Very disappointed that Apple lauched a prototype with such an obvious bug and let test the customers...

New site created in iWeb, Podcast works, but the Subscribe button doesn't!

Hi All,
I created a new site in iWeb at http://www.adamonearth.com be great if you could help out a little! I am very happy with the site turned out!
But I have been trying to get the Video Podcast subscription link to work for a while now, but the Podcast Subscribe button on my Video Podcast page does not work. For some reason iWeb adds in /adamonearth.com after the website domain, like this... itpc://www.adamonearth.com/adamonearth.com/Video%20Podcast/rss.xml
So if you go to my site at http://www.adamonearth.com and click onto Video Podcast the Subscribe button is on there.
iWeb won't allow me to edit it either. Be great if you know of any ideas to amend it!
Also be great if you let me know what you think of the site overall.
Cheers.
Adam.

Hi Tom,
Thanks so much for all your help, I really appreciate it.
I fixed the name of the site and called it 'Holly' I now have the Video Podcast link working but one problem, when you enter the website address:
http://www.adamonearth.com
It goes to the Index Of/ page then you need to select 'Holly' which is the folder name for it to divert to the Welcome.html page.
I have put up a directory listing for you http://www.adamonearth.com/54512.tiff
I have tried moving the Welcome.html page above the Holly folder but that then does not link to the other pages correctly.
From what I can see I have done everything right this time, as the Podcast link works in iTunes now.
Any help would be great.
Thanks again,
Adam.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all its folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.

You need the 'Domain' file in which iWeb keeps its data. This lives by default in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb. You need to locate it on the old machine and copy it to the same position in the new machine. Note that it is the Library folder in your Home folder, not the one at root level.
This folder is hidden on Lion and above; to access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice. In Mavericks you can make it permanently visible - open your Home Folder the from the Finder's View menu, choose show View Options and check Show User Library.

Can somebody explane how can I get iweb to open a new site or page?

I can't start a new site or page...since I've moved some page among different sites and the program got stuck. I did quit to start it again, but now it's not possibel to use iWeb.

Best Roddy,
First many thanks for your reply.
I was reading futher the forum about deleting pages and sites and someone sugest to delete first a file from Preferences folder under Library.
And it's works on the first hit!
I was twoo days searching for the answer.
Thank you once again!

Iweb - does creating a new site delete the previous site?

I'm having a meltdown. Had my career website built via iweb some time ago, and tonight, was experimenting with iweb for a new website for another unrelated project. So I created a "new site," never suspecting that it would affect my previous website.
I wanted to see how the new site looked, so I published, and now my career website seems to have disappeared! Spent weeks building that site! (photos, films, etc.) Does iweb only allow for one website? It had a (slightly) different address when the new site published. But now my career domain name goes to the new unrelated website. The new site was a lark -- REALLY need my career website back up and running. Any way to find/retrieve it?
Is there no warning? -- if you go create a "new site" and go to publish, and the new site DOES replace the old, is there really no warning???

How do I get it back (as my iweb site and linked to my career domain site?)
Try publishing all the pages of your "career" site by clicking on its name in iWeb's left sidebar and choosing File > Publish Entire Site.
See also this article:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
...it says: +"When you will publish and upload to the same account entering your url in a browser you will be redirected to the site for which you hit “Publish entire site” last."+

And is there any way to save what I've done with the new website before I replace it with my old site???
It will still be accessible at:
http://web.me.com/[YourMemberName]/[NewWebsiteName]
But read this:

Didn't realize that there is no .mac anymore. My old address was web.mac.com/username and the new address is web.me.com/user name.
Both are valid — see this Apple doc:

New site in iWeb '06

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to start a new site and keep my existing site I have now. This is what I am trying to accomplish. I am in school and my professor wants us to create a webpage for a project that will be uploaded onto the school server for grading. I tried to start a new website and it showed up at the bottom of my present website. Is there a way to "save to a folder" and not include my present webpage? Also, the school server is PC based. Thanks.
Best,
Kenny

I too have this question!
I had to have my hd wiped clean and I do have access to my DOMAIN file on an external hd. But, I would like to still have record of my blog on my iweb 06 site, but would like to revamp it and start a whole new site.
Is it possible to keep record of a blog archive and blog along with all other info but not have it published while publishing the new site?
I think our questions have the same intent but for different reasons.
Please help Kenny and me!

Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me?

Can I still create new sites in iweb and publish them to mobile me? Also Can the sites not contain movies or photos, or just not a full gallery?

You can have as many sites and domain names on a single MMe account. However, only one site can use the CNAME domain name forwarding while the others must use URL forwarding.
Multiple Sites with Domain Name(s) in a Single MobileMe Account
Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
Click to view full size
2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
In iWeb domainfile 1:
Create a dummy site : _dummy
with a blank page.
Create your working site : Whatever
Add pages
Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
Check.
In iWeb domainfile 2:
Create/Use your CurrentSite.
Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
Check.
From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.DomainName.com/Site_Name/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:
http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Domain_Name/PageName.
With domain name masking that will be shortened to:
http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

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

My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.
What's the answer?
Thanks

Many thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...
