IWeb Pages Deleted

Hi Guys,
I run our small Business website using iWeb 2011. Never had a problem until I did a small website change on the home page today. Uploaded to FTP to then find 9 of my 22 pages are missing.
When I re enter iWeb the pages have completely deleted them self.
The URL is www.catz-eye.com & an example is http://www.catz-eye.com/Instructors.html I'm working hard to rewrite these, but (a). I'm looking for some light on how this happened and (b). How to make sure that it does not happen again.
Many thanks for taking the time to read my post and reply

You say that the same pages are missing when you publish your site to a folder on your hard drive?
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.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 (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and publish to the folder again and check for missing pages.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain 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.

IWeb pages reverting to older version- not a browser issue, deleting prefs/caches no help

Hi everyone, forgive me if this is a newb question but I've scoured the internet for answers and all of them I've already tried with no luck. I'm using iWeb and encountering a problem that has me completely stumped. I'm trying to publish changes to my site, (I do not use mobileme, I publish to disk and upload files via Fetch) and for some reason something is changing my html files when I try to upload them. The html files are correct on my hard drive when I publish them, and yet when I upload them, they revert to the older version. This is not a browser issue, as I've cleared my cache, refreshed and tried using Safari, Firefox and Chrome with no luck. I've also tried 're-setting' iWeb by deleting iWeb preferences/cache, and tried moving the domain file from application support, creating a new website, deleting it and then re-loading the old site. Nothing, still the old site. It's new in iWeb, new when I open the html files on my drive, and old as soon as I upload.
I seem to remember having this problem before, and what I found was iWeb's cache kept replacing my new pages with the old ones every time I wanted to upload them. 'Re-setting' iWeb did the trick then, but it's not doing it now. Any ideas on what is going on? It's a little disconcerting seeing a file correct on the disk and then change itself, while uploading, into an incorrect version.
Using:
iWeb 3.0.3
Mac OS 10.6.7
Mac Pro 2.66 Dual core

If you make changes to a page there are files in the Scripts folder that get updated and must be uploaded also. Depending on what you're using to up load the files it can be setup to upload just those new or modified files.
Cyberduck is a free FTP client that works very well and if used in conjunction with this tutorial will upload only those new or modified files: #2 - Uploading only those new or newly edited and published files when using a 3rd party FTP client

Deleting old iWeb Pages

Hi there.
I've used iWeb from more than one computer with different iWeb domain libraries in the past. Deleted all the old pages & sites I don't need via iWeb but loggin on to me.com shows a lost of old pages that are still up there. Some from even very old iWeb libraries.
Tried manually deleting these stray pages via ME interface but can't delete files that way. Any advice on how to reset and clear my iWeb pages on the ME iDisk?

From Finder press Shift/Command/I to go to your iDisk. Enter your login credentials if necessary. From your iDisk you can view your published files. Select the folders/files you'd like to delete and press delete.

Hi, I have a subscribe button on one of me iWeb pages which is linked to my iPhoto. I don't know how I put it on and I can't find out how to delete it. Help please.....

Hi, how can I delete a Subscribe button from one of my iWeb pages. I don't remember adding it but it is linked to all of my iphotos and I can't find out how to delete it. Help please...

How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save. I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was. I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink." That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box. But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink.
If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink. It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved. Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html. If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file. This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
Many thanks in advance.

Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met. Now back to this work:
Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not). I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object. I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared. But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again. I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself. The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though. I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink.
Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one). Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner.
I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond." I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thank you.

How to publish an iCal calendar into an iWeb page?

I want to include an iCal calendar in an iWeb page. I know this should be VERY straightforward but can't figure it out. How do I accomplish this?
Brian

I'm having a problem getting the iCal to publish to iWeb, so that I can have a calendar on my website with rss feed for new dates. So I put in my mobile me account name, and I do have several calendars, but there's nothing that looks like I can specify which calendar. Please don't tell me that I have to use one calendar, because I don't want my personal with my court, my court with my work, my work with my kids etc. is there a way to maintain the "public" calendar. I'm confused.
Assuming this is doable, I did try the widget, but i keep getting an error message that page not found, we're sorry but we cannot find the ical you requested, its possible that it has been deleted or renamed.

Tip: How to link to a non-iWeb page in the main navigation menu.

I've figured out an easy way to add a link to the main navigation menu which links to a URL of your choosing. For example, I have an older .Mac site using the now archaic HomePage. Instead of rebuilding all of my old pages in iWeb, I thought it would be nice to add a link to the old site from the top main navigation of the iWeb pages. Sounds easy, right? Apparently Apple has other ideas as iWeb doesn't allow you to do this.
Here's a work-a-round:
Step 1.) Open iWeb and add a new page to your iWeb site. Pick any template, it doesn't matter which one.
Step 2.) Change the page name to whatever you want using the page inspector. Whatever you choose as a name here will be reflected in the main navigation menu. For example, I named my page "Photo Archives".
Step 3.) You don't need to edit this new page at all. In fact, we're going to erase all of the content in it later. Now publish your site.
Step 4.) If you're using .Mac, mount your iDisk to your desktop. Then navigate through the folders to: Web -> Sites -> iWeb -> <Your Site Name>. If you're hosting your site somewhere else, navigate to your root directory.
Step 5.) You should now be looking at all of the files which make up your iWeb site. Open the dummy page we created in Step 2 in a text editor. I used BBEdit, but TextEdit (see note below) will work just fine. For example, my dummy page is named "Photo Archives.html".
Note: If you're going to use TextEdit, you need to select the checkbox "Ignore rich-text commands in HTML files" from the Open & Save pane of the Preferences dialog PRIOR to opening the file from your iDisk.
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" /></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you want.
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi,
I'm OK to step seven but in your example can you highlight or make bold the "url address part " I'm to replace with my own?
Thanks!
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and
Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the
URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.d

tle><meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html"
/></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a
link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you
want.

IWeb pages not listed on .Mac homepage

After republishing my iWeb site to .Mac the pages are no longer showing up under My Pages in .Mac. Anyone know how to fix that? It's handy to look there and see the counter totals.
Thanks!

Well, at least I know I'm not the only one. My guess is this is an Apple/.Mac thing since a number of us are experiencing this out of the blue and the factors seem to change over time.
Now I'm getting new strange results (screen shot: http://www.wku.edu/~chris.antonsen/lookie.png):
1. My home page shows counts
2. An old home page (deleted entirely some time ago) reappears and shows counts
3. FLK 371 Blog registers hits as expected
4. "Tourist Guy. . . " is a page with no counter on it at all!
What the heck? I'm very confused.

How can I edit or remove iWeb pages from Mobile me after I have published it to another site?

I have published iweb pages to another server and now I need to replace the mobile me version with page "pages moved to..." or at least I need to delete old version. However I can't find any way to do this from mobile me or from iWeb.
From Mobile me I cant find any way to even delete pages.
With iWeb I cant edit the old version because I cant find way to have two version of same pages. As I understand what I need is a version of my republished pages that only contains the index page "pages moved to...". But I cant create that because I cant have two versions.

Where are iWeb pages stored/saved?

Hi all. I'm building my first website using iweb. there is one (of only 3 so far) page that is apparently corrupted. whenever i click on that page name in the sidebar, iweb crashes, so i can't delete it using the edit/delete page dialogue.
if i can find where my iweb pages are saved, i'll just go there and then drag the page to the trash....
thanks

The pages do not exist until you publish them. The elements that comprise the pages are stored in the Domain.sites2 file/package that's located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
Are there any messages in the Console regarding iWeb that might indicate what's causing the problem.
Aside from the above you can try the following: create a new site and drag the two working pages to it. Then click on the first site's folder icon and see if you can delete the entire site. If that works then all you need to do is recreate that one page.
Also be sure to make a backup of the domain file frequently. Saves a lot of rebuilding in case something goes south in that domain file.

Can't edit my iWeb page

I have BIG BIG trouble with this web page. This is the web page:
http://web.mac.com/mamafonz/iWeb/Site/Susan%20Gross%20Educational%20Workshops.ht ml
Each workshop has a contact person. But iWeb has fouled up the email address of each contact person.
For example, The December 4 workshop contact person is
Beth Lillskau <[email protected]>
(The above was copied and pasted from my iWeb page.)
On my published web page, it says that Beth's email is <shannon@ ecentral.com>
The <shannon@ ecentral..> is the email of a workshop I did a couple of weeks ago. I deleted the information since the workshop is over. Somehow iWeb seems to want to keep old emails in like they were graphics or something!
This has happened all over the page! The emails of OTHER workshop contacts are listed with the wrong person's name.
I Web is making me crazy! Help! I need to constantly update this web page and iWeb just fouls it up.

is

For me it is correct. Your own browser is just seeing old stuff. Clear your cache.

Does changing iPhoto library "mess up" iWeb pages?

Can someone give me a short explanation of how iWeb stores its images on my computer, and how that relates, if at all, to iPhoto? Many of my iWeb pages are created from iPhoto albums. Now I would like to make some significant changes to my iPhoto library (divide it into two libraries, delete some images, etc). Willl that have any effect upon my iWeb pages on my computer that use those iPhoto images? Or, once imported to iWeb from iPhoto, are the images then part of iWeb independent of iPhoto? Thank you!

Bobio,
iWeb stores all of it's data in a file named Domain. This file, by default, is placed on your hard drive in this location. Once the iPhoto media is imported into iWeb, it is copied there and the iPhoto files are not affected by what iWeb does with the media. iWeb will actually store a copy of the original file from iPhoto--something to bear in mind if you are using large pic files. Your Domain file can become somewhat bloated if you are using a lot of large media.
So the short answer to your question is, yes, the iPhoto media becomes part of the iWeb file and you may do what you will with your iPhoto configuration without affecting it, and vice versa--changes to previously imported iPhoto media within iPhoto will not affect your pages.

Display data from CSV file in iWeb page

Hi,
I like to display data from a CSV file in iWeb page if a date value from CSV file matches todays value from the system. Here is an example.
CSV data values
01/20/2011,Sunny,87
01/21/2011,Cloudy,100
01/22/2011,Rainy,60
If today's date value is 01/21/2011 the page should display 01/21/2011 Cloudy 100 in a tabular format.
Appreciate your help in providing HTML code for this issue.
Thanks

I suspect there is a soft return in the excel database somewhere that can't be seen. Take the csv/txt file into notepad and look for a line that starts oddly compared to the others.
I haven't had luck removing soft returns from excel files so I do this a rather odd way. I take the excel file into InDesign as a table, and then use find/change to replace any soft returns with nothing, then convert the text to table and then export the text out again by going export, and selecting text from the dropdown menu.
For my money, I always save tab delimited text files from excel so that if a field does contain commas, it doesn't "trick" indesign into thinking a new field is beginning or not... instead the field delimiters are tabs and they are unlikely to have been used in the excel database.
If you do choose to use this indesign import method of mine to clean up the database, i also noticed two things in your screengrab: first was that some fields have spaces at the start of the text... easy enough to fix with a GREP that looks for ^\s (start of a sentence followed by a space) and replace with nothing. The second thing is the T&C field that all entries (at least in the screengrab) all start the same – if all entries in the database start the same, couldn't that line be in the indesign file? Its only a small detail I know.

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page, How can I make a backup of my iWeb page

How can I make a backup of my iWeb page? Is iWeb also disappearing on June 30?

Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1813
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1105
And I found this one written by an independant guy very thorough and helpful:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Backup_retrieve.html
iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around.
If you are looking for a new place to host your website, I use and would recommend Little Oak (www.littleoak.net). They are a Mac hosting company, and are even offering a discount right now for iWeb users (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012)

Creating a frame within a iweb page

I would like to create a frame within one of my iweb pages so that I can maintain the navigation menu while incorporating expose photo slide (or any other external page to be displayed within my page).
Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think this is possible using iweb and must edit the source code.
Does anyone know if there are any templates out there I could just copy and past to get this done? i am simply looking to create a frame pretty much taking up the entire center of the existing page while leaving the navigation menu in tacked. Do appreciate the help!
