IWeb photo captions published via ftp?

I'm new to iWeb - are photo captions published via ftp now that MobileMe is defunct? The info in Publish Site says no. As I wish to use photos purchased and downloaded from a stock agency, they must be captioned with the photographer's name. I can work around this by acknowledging the photographers in a list above the Album I've created rather than under each photo (if this proves to be acceptable to the stock agency), but this isn't ideal. Thanks for any advise you can offer.

Captions added to the images inside a photos template are published no matter where you publish your website.
The number of caption lines is chosen in the photo Grid popup window...

I'm having difficulty publishing via ftp to Machighway, I suspect this has to do with the fact I seperated my webpages into 3 sites in iWeb. Can any one tell me how to undo this in iWeb?

You'll have to describe in detail the workflow you're using to upload to Machighway and any messages/warnings that you get along the way. Also what version of iWeb are you using and are you publishing just one of your sites?

IWeb Photo Captioning from Aperture Metadata

I'm not sure if this should be under iWeb or Aperture. I use Aperture 2.1 and iWeb '08 2.0.3. In iWeb I have albums of photos from Aperture. When using the media browser for adding Aperture photos into iWeb, the standard nomenclature is for the iWeb caption to use the Aperture 'Version Name'. Since iWeb can be set to have more than one caption line, I was wondering if there was a way to map Aperture metadata into the multiple lines of iWeb photo captions? As it is, any additional iWeb caption lines have to be added manually. Can this additional caption information be added automatically?

I'm banging my head on this too.. I prefer to use iWeb for several reasons: one is that I publish to a non-Apple webhost; and I prefer the editing capabilities of iWeb vs Aperture/iPhoto -- plus the templates are more varied.
It's hard to believe that Apple doesn't provide this extremely basic capability. I've noticed other threads on this & it doesn't seem that it's possible.

Iweb publishing via ftp

I'm trying to publish using ftp on iweb and have an issue with where it puts files on my server. Because the name of my site is entered int he publish settings it publishes everything to that named folder. I would like to know if anyone else had this issue and if they got round it? I just want to publish straight to my httpdocs folder on my host server but I can't seem to work out how to do that right now.

Thanks for the help.
Have now got hte site up there but the way that iweb has created the pages is pretty poor to be honest. Have you had similar issues with no css styles, text fonts not applied. I mean the pages look nothing like what they did locally. Do you know of a decent xhtml editor that people use on macs so that I can play with the code a bit?
Apologies for all the questions, moved to mac recently - great for everything except building websites so far. Maybe it will only work well with mobile me?

Iweb Publishing via FTP -- can't change the site

I am updating a site built in iWeb, now using v. 3.0.4
It has always been hosted externally and I upload using the FTP in iWeb.
I made some updates today (principally to add a link to a Facebook page). I republished the entire thing (it's only two pages). iWeb said it published fine.
I visited the new site, and there were no changes. I have cleared the browser cache upward of 10 times with no result. I have also tested the FTP connection and it's working fine.
Any suggestions as to what I might be missing?

Actually, I figured it out ... I needed to change the directory/path information.

Google Analytics and Publishing Via FTP

This may have been asked here before but, is there any way to ad google analytics to an iweb site that is published within iweb Via FTP? I haven't found any way to do it yet. Is there any way to do it with out using an external FTP program

Hello and welcome.
To add Analytics (assuming you already have the code from Google) you must publish your IWeb created site to a folder on your hard drive first.
Use a tool like IWEB SEO TOOL (Here: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html) and after applying the code to all your HTML pages upload your website FTP.
You will have to reapply the code everytime you make a change and republish your website.

Aperture to iWeb photo caption mess - must see to believe.

I am making an Album on my iWeb photo website, using Aperture. I requested to have the "Name" of each picture shown with each photo, below the photo. After publishing online, when I click the Slideshow, the "Name" of each picture does appear, but instead of a gray background beneath each "Name" (the way it looks in iWeb before publishing) the "Name" now appears in a weird repetition of the photo itself. I cannot describe this mess. You must see it to believe it.
Please look at my website:
http://www.bobfolsom.net
Click on Albums, then click on the "Skies" album (the only one right now) and then try a Slideshow. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the nice gray background for the number captions instead of the colored repetition of the photo?
Maria

Unfortunately you can't have the nice textured background for your slideshow. You can however get rid of the reflection and change the color of the background to a similar gray color. On the inspector, click on the Photos tab and then select the Slideshow sub-tab. There you can disable the reflections (which drive me nuts on artistic photos) and change the background among a few other things.
Good luck!

Trouble with iweb SEO tool publishing to FTP address

Trying to publish using SEO tool to my FTP address and nothing happens in the status bar. I selected the folder to upload and choose the right server folder but no go. Any suggestions. Do I need to go on my host and clear out the publishing folder first? Also, do people recommend iWeb SEO tool over iMAP? I know SEO is free so I am trying that first. I use I tweak to add in google analytics so not sure how that works with SEO tool? Do I need to run iTweak and then iWeb SEO then publish? Thanks again.

I just tested it with a section of a website and it uploaded fine. Its going to depend on the size of your site files.
Are you using the latest V 1.3?
It's the first time I've tested the built in FTP as I usually add the meta stuff and then optimize before uploading. It doesn't seem to take any longer than the other FTP applications I use.

Swedish "därför" turns out "DÃ¤rfÃ¶r" when publishing via ftp...

What do I do? Need some help to solve this...
Thanks in advance!

ICal 2.0.5 and publish via FTP?

I have been using the free plugin scalp (http://pygmysoftware.com/software/scalp/) to enable iCal to publish a calendar to an FTP site (where I am displaying it with phpicalendar). It has been working great, was easy to set up, and is free (although donations are encouraged).
Unfortunately, the 10.4.9 update installed a new version of iCal (2.0.5) which is now giving me the following message when it loads "iCal 2.0.5 (v1069) has not been tested with the plugin Scalp (null) (v0.1). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer for further information."
Several questions:
1. I can't find any information anywhere about what iCal 2.0.5 adds - i.e., does it by any chance add the ability to publish a calendar via FTP?
2. Is there a way to get iCal to load the plugin, so that I can test to see if it works without issue?
I have contacted the developer, but thought I would ask here also to cover all bases.
Thanks,
Barry

Please check http://pygmysoftware.com/software/scalp/
There is a new version of Scalp working with 2.0.5 again and brings back usable FTP-export.

How do I get the RSS feeds to work in iWeb'08 when published to FTP server?

There are so many unresolved questions because I have published to an FTP server (Netfirms). HOWEVER, my next task at hand is to resolve the issue of a non-working RSS feed and download capabilities.
The published website is www.vibrationalvoyages.com.
When using Cyberduck to upload to Netfirms, I have to call the file name vibrationalvoyages.com because Netfirms organizes my files under a main folder called www (I also purchased the .org and .net extensions along with the singular spelling of the title, have forwarded those url's to the .com extension, which means I have different website names under Netfirm's main folder www, all pointing to www.vibrationalvoyages.com).
I have to drop the www. in front of vibrationalvoyages.com when publishing to a folder on my computer so, when Cyberduck uploads the files into the main www folder, they are read correctly and published as www.vibrationalvoyages.com. In Cyberduck, the ftp address to upload is vibrationalvoyage.netfirms.com
Before uploading, I use iTweak to insert the Statcounter tracking codes. Then, I use Rage to optimize the site to cut down on the weight (lots of photos). Then, finally, I get to upload which takes about an hour and a half.
SO, HOW DO I GET THE RSS FEEDS TO WORK AS WELL AS THE OPTION TO DOWNLOAD AN MP3 RECORDED MEDITATIONS? I eventually also want to include the download option of podcasts.
Please help! I am doing the best I can to stay in love with Mac but he is turning out to be a pot load of work and the love affair is wearing a little thin.
I haven't even asked about why iWeb still calls some pages 'The family picnic" or why it switches the url addresses to the individual pages. Probably because in the early stages, I copied an entry rather than just do a new one... but I'll worry about that later. I want to get this 'fixed' first and then I'll address the issue, following Roddy's advice to another writer about installing a flash player, for easy download of the MP3 meditations and for when I record the lessons as podcasts. Until I get this RSS issue resolved, however, podcast downloads are out of the question!

Thank you for checking, Tom,
I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
So, my question still is:
HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
Any ideas?

Sometimes get error "looking for something on MobileMe?" after publishing via ftp server

I published a website I created on iWeb via an ftp server. Sometimes it works, but sometimes I get the error "Looking for something on MobileMe?" My web host says all my settings are correct, so the problem is likely to be in iWeb. How can I fix this?

I use FatCow as both my domain registrar and my web host, a similar service to GoDaddy. The FatCow tech support said all my settings were correct. Here's a pic of the iWeb Site Publishing Settings page:
When I try "Test Connection," it succeeds.
I originally published using MobileMe, then switched to ftp using FatCow. The ftp publishing worked at first, then I started getting the error message intermittently, now get it all the time. The FatCow tech thought that something is likely to be imbedded in the code that is taking it to MobileMe.
Thanks again for your help!

Publishing via FTP server

I have now shifted my webpages from Mobile Me to a local web hosting service, and need to know how I go about uploading them to this new server in the way that was advised on a recent post: "When you FTP up the files, instead of FTP'ing the index file plus folder it generates, you FTP up only the contents of the "inner" folder (which also includes an index file). This creates the standard URL without repeated words. The whole process is simple - publish iWeb to a folder, FTP contents of inner folder." Please help!

When you publish to a folder from iWeb what you will get is a Site folder and a separate index.html file. Whatever you named your site within iWeb will then be the name of your Site folder - so if you called your site Site or S, then your site folder will then be called Site or S. Your site folder contains all the relevant html and CSS documents that you need for your site - so if you have a Welcome page then you will see a page that has Welcome.html, plus another folder that has Welcome_files. This contains all the CSS info - this being what your pages look like.
If using iWeb 08 you would publish to a folder and then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck/Fetch to upload both your Site folder and separate index.html file to your server - these are placed in whatever folder your host has designated for you, mostly public_html. This means that your url is http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename, but it does mean that RSS feed will work if you need it to.
The other way of doing this is by publishing to a folder and then using Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your Site folder rather than the whole folder itself. This means that your url will then be http://www.domain.com/pagename, but your RSS feed will not work like this.
If you are using iWeb 09, then for the built in ftp, what you need to do is place public_html into the directory/pathway setting and this should work. This should then upload the whole of your Site folder to your public_html folder on your host.
If you just want the contents of your Site folder and not the whole folder itself, then what you can try is to name your website within iWeb public_html and then place public_html in the directory/path and then if your sitename in iWeb is the same as your host/server folder then just the contents will be uploaded to your host and not the whole site folder - then your url will be http://www.domain.com/pagename.
It is not really that complex when you break it down.

Publishing via ftp

i tried to publish my site, but the error "folder can not be made //images"occurs repetetly.
What can i do?
The site is: http://kampfkunst-amlech.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
and i want it to put it there: www.kampfkunst-amlech.de
The image files are saved in the same folder like the website.
Thanks for your help.
I am beginner but couldn´t find any anwers on my question in the web.

Hello Tom,
If you're getting this error when you try to upload your site on another host, and not Business Catalyst, it may be an issues with the permissions. Please speak to the host and have them reset your FTP permissions, and see how that goes with the upload then.
Cheers

IWeb 2008 and publishing via CD?

I'm working on a volunteer project. It's a simple, small web-site for a historical/reunion organization with a very small budget.
The web-site is being put together in iWeb, but I cannot publish it directly. A local businessman is offering to publish on server space reserved for his business. I will have to burn the site to a CD-R, give it to the business, and then the site will be published to that server.
The business owner already registered a domain name with GoDaddy, so people interested in the web-site will type in the URL, and it will reflect to the business owner's server.
NOW FOR THE BURNING QUESTION! (Pun intended) How do I burn the site from, iWeb 2008 to a CD-R to give to the business owner? Is there any special procedure I should follow?

I'm a little confused.
Why do you distinguish between the index.html file and the folder?
Is there something there I should be aware of?
