IWeb File-Hyperlink issue

Hi,
i want to create a File Hyperlink (the file is a .pdf-file). When I upload the file to the server and try the hyplerlink online it does not work. Anybody the same experience?
All other Hyperlinks I use work except the File-Hyperlinks! There is just 1 File-Hyperlink which works but I really do not know why!
Thanks!

Hi, Welcome to the forums.
Are you physically uploading the file yourself? If so does the location where you upload it to match the URL of the link.
iWeb should automatically upload any file you link to on your Mac, I have a tutorial on my site:

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Link to file hyperlinks

How to create an InDesign document with link to file hyperlinks in InDesign to PDF and still be able to use via a USB flash drive?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

Publishing to server: Where do the iWeb files go inside the server files?

Hi - I've created a 1-page web site called "Chatham" using iWeb, and I'd like to add it as a new page in an old a web site I already own. Here's the URL:
www.daydreambelievers.net/chatham.html
I used DreamWeaver to upload the iWeb folder into the "htdocs" folder in the server with the rest of the site docs. But as you can see, none of the graphics are loading.
So even though all the files are now on the site server, they're not finding each other or loading correctly. Do I have to put the images and other graphics inside particular folders on my server (like moving the iWeb page images into the general "images" file), or do I keep them together in the folder that iWeb created? Does the iWeb folder go in the "htdocs" folder, or in a different folder, or outside?
Couldn't find any info on this in similar threads, sorry if I missed it. All help appreciated!
- Andy

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick reply and the info. Unfortunately, it's still not working.
Following your instructions, I deleted all previous versions of the "Chatham" iWeb files (both locally and on the server), created a new "Chatham" folder from iWeb, and used Fetch to upload it onto the site server. This time, instead of showing the page without graphics, I got the "file not found" message indicating it couldn't even find the page.
That brings me back to my original question: exactly where do I put the "Chatham" folder on the server so that the files inside it are recognized by the server, and then the files can find each other and build the page correctly? Should the iWeb folder be placed inside the "htdocs" folder (tried, not working) or by themselves outside all the other folders (tried, not working) or in some new combination in and amongst the folders already there?
That's what's got me stuck, just that issue of putting the iWeb files in the right place on the server so they can find each other and build the page correctly.
Once again, all help appreciated. Thanks

Location of iWeb files - External Drive ?

Dear members:
I would like to have my iWeb files residing in an external hard disk. How can I set up iWeb so that it stores its associated files in a external disk instead of my home directory ?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Joseph Chamberlain

Wyodor:
Thank you for the link. The information is very helpful and I have already moved the domain file as the article suggests. It works great.
Another issue that this article does not address is how to move the site location to an external drive. Although I had noticed that the domain information was kept in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb I have also noticed that the site files seem to kept in ~/Sites.
How can I move my sites and files to an external drive ? In case this is possible I would prefer to keep the different files in separate folders so that their associated files don't become mixed. Can I move the files to an external location ? Assuming this can be done is there a way to set this location in iWeb or should I replace the Sites folder with an Alias pointing to the external hard drive ?
Thank you in advance,
Joseph

IWeb 09 (HyperLink HELP!)

Hi My name's Pedro
And I'm going crazy because of iWeb 09!!! My problem is that every time I try to make a hyper link (if it's a external link, one of my pages, a file, or an email... every kind) as soon as I publish it it reverts back to a file hyperlink... Pleas help I can't take it anymore!!!
I've got the new MacBook Pro and my mac OSX version is 10.5.6
Please Please assist me I neeeeed help! :O

When you load a webpage, your browser stores the information so that the page will load quicker if you go back to it.
It will "remember" the old version of your website and may not "see" the new changes.
In Safari go to the Safari drop down menu, click on Empty Cache and then click the Empty button.
Try to get into the habit of doing this regularly and particularly before you visit your newly published changes.

Restored iweb files in right place, won't work

OK, I restored my iWeb files in the users/myname/sites, but when I click on iWeb, it comes up with nothing, just like it wants me to start a new site. I just updated to 1.1.2, thinking that was the issue, and it's not. What gives? How can I get it to load my site? I asked about this before, and read it, and I did what it said, but it's still not working. I dropped it from a CD. Is there something else I should do?
Thanks

OK, premature questioning..lol. I figured it out. The domain is what I hadn't droped, just "index". So I replaced the "domain" in the Users/myname/library yadda yadda. It works now.
Nevermind <blush>.

Trying to restore previous iWeb files after hard drive was reformatted.

I had to have a clean install on my MacBook last week and had my iWeb files backed up but I'm having trouble figuring out how to import the files or restore iWeb to the way it was. Any thoughts? Or is it just another lack of support and thinking on Apple's part?

No. You just need to have backed up the right files.
iWeb stores info under User/Library/Application Support/domain.sites and it is this domain.sites file that you need to be able to alter anything in iWeb.
If you published your site to a local folder thinking that was a back up, then it is not, as iWeb has no import facility and is unable to open already published html files.
If you don't have your domain.sites file then you'll have to re-build your site again in iWeb.

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things. I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or recognize the my iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb. I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4

I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, 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.

How do I Import my iWeb Files from one Mac to Another

I have iWeb files that are on one Mac and want to import to another Mac.
How do I do this with having one domain file, completely erase the other domain file that has different files?
This is BRUTAL trying to move, copy and import iWeb files between family Macs!!!

You are actually better to split your domain file so that each site can be loaded individually into iWeb and published separately. See....
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
You'll note from this that you can also use a third party application to handle these file and iWebsites used to have a merge function. I don't use it so I don't know if it works with the latest version of iWeb.

Time Machine and iWeb file

I have used time machine for weeks. Yesterday I deleted an iWeb file I was preparing for publishing and decided I wanted to do it differently. Now I want to restore the iWeb file I had 2 days ago.
How do I find that file in Time Machine? I have no idea where it resides on my HD either.

quit iweb and restore the contents of the directory /users/username/library/application support/iweb.

Moving Iweb files from old hard drive to new laptop

Hi, just replaced my old Powerbook with a new MacBook Pro and I have been sent my old hard drive and fit it in to an enclosure to let me have access to my old pics, music etc but I am struggling to find the iweb files for my websites
I know they were there before it went in for a screen repair and everything else looks ok so just wondered if I am looking in the wrong place
Any help much appreciated

The primary file you need to move is named Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3). it's locted in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy that to the same folder on your new MBP.
However:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/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 make the libraries visible you can easily find the file you need and move it into the new library. If you have problems opening the domain file for the first time try the following:
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain 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 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.

PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files. I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3 error that says
"cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs with Bridge or PS CS3.
This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right? Am I missing anything. here? Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work? Will I be at any disadvantage. Am I missing anything. here?

Open iweb files in dreamweaver

Hi! I have read so many forums about this topic. The solution everyone seems to have is to publish your iweb files to a folder and then open index.html through dreamweaver. I can open the file, however, it only displays a code and the file size is only 4kb. I know that my site is way larger than that, so I'm thinking i'm opening it incorrectly or something. So if anyone knows and could give me fool proof step by step "for dummies" directions, that would be awesome!!

iWeb's index.html files don't have any content. Open the other .html files which you find in the sitename folder.

Can I transfer my iWeb files to new iMac running Yosemite

I have recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a set of iWeb files that I was working on but had not yet published as a website on my old iMac which is running OS X 10.5.8. Is it possible to transfer these files to the new mac? I can't find any iWork or iLife files in the Applications folder on my new mac.

Yes, you can transfer the files, but you will be unable to open them, because as you have found, new Macs have not shipped with iWeb installed on them for a long time now - iWeb as you may or may not know is very old software now that has not been sold or supported by Apple for at least 3 years.
The only other way that you will be able to get iWeb onto your new Mac is buy a copy of iLife 11 or iLife 09, both of which contained the final version of iWeb - which is iWeb 09. You would need to purchase this from Amazon. You could try an old installation CD that came with your other Mac if you still have it and you could try installing iWeb onto your new iMac from that, but if it does not work, then you'll have to buy a copy of iLife 11 or 09 from Amazon.
Your other alternatives of course are to find some new web creation software that is supported or you continue to use iWeb on your old Mac and just update and publish your sites from that machine.
In the end though, it might just be easier to bite the bullet and move onto some new software and re-build you site with that.
Software that is worth taking a look at is RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb. Then don't forget all the online website builders that you have, that are slightly different, such as WordPress.com, Wix.com and others.
Other alternatives are then the Content Management Systems such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org.
I would suggest that you take a look at EverWeb first though - it is very much like the iWeb interface and can do a lot more than iWeb could out of the box, such as contact forms included, SEO included, drop down menus, master pages, support for PayPal with widgets and lots more.
Take and look and you can download a trial version before you buy.
There are lots of different options available to you, but ultimately, if you want to continue using iWeb on your new Mac, then you'll have to buy iLife form Amazon. Time to move on perhaps?!!

How do I transfer my iWeb files to a new computer?

I recently did a clean install of Yosemite to my new iMac, getting rid of years of unneeded files.
I have successfully reinstalled all the programs I use frequently, but I am stumped on how to transfer my iWeb files so they work on my new computer.
I have transferred the preferences and the domain files, but they still do not show up when I open iWeb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And......how I wish Apple would bring iWeb back. It is the best app for making websites I have ever used.

Place the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If there's no iWeb folder create one and put it in there. Now try to launch iWeb and see if it will find and open the Domain file.
If you still can't open the domain file do the following:
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite 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.

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.
NOTE: Since Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible 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 and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
