IWeb site in multiple languages

Making a site in iWeb is very simple, but what about a site where the end-user chooses his language?
Standaard buttons for the slideshow, etc... are translated to the developer's language. While it is possible that I want a page where the language is different to mine.

Switching languages in System Preferences / International did the job for me.
Now I have a Welcome website which links to a site in English and another one in Spanish.
Easy it is not, but difficult it isn't either. Just exit iWeb, go to System Preferences, International, drag your new language to the top of the list and start iWeb again.
Just organize your work so you don't have to be switching languages all the time.
You can even have pages in different languages within the same website. I just chose not to do it this way because it would crowd my navigation menu.
I still think this is not friendly at all so I sent some feedback to iweb support.

  • Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

    With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
    But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
    So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
    How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

    Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
    Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
    The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
    Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
    Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
    Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
    Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
    If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
    When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
    It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
    Post back and inform us of your success.

  • Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple machines?

    After a reasonable amount of research I am pretty sure the answer is "no" but here we go...
    I have both a Laptop and a desktop and would like to be able to update and maintain my site from either machine. From the looks of things this isn't as easy as it looks. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    James,
    I already posted a "thank you" after the next post. I am anxious to try using the Flash Drive with my desktop and laptop.
    I found out the hard way and lost a few entries. I had done my original blog and photo pages on my desktop. I copied all the "Domain" files onto the iDisk and then uploaded them on my laptop. (That took too long!) But everything was working fine. Then I added a couple more pages via the desktop, and forgot to put them on the laptop. I came to Ireland, with the laptop and published several new pages and lo and behold those couple of pages had gone missing!! I realized fairly quickly that I had overwritten those pages.
    Before I go back to the US next week, I am going to load all the "Domain" files onto a flash drive and take it with me and transfer to my desktop. I have to leave the laptop here in Ireland with my husband.
    Could you tell me exactly what I have to copy onto the flash drive? I had the instructions printed up somewhere, but they are not with me now!
    Now another question for you!
    Obviously I have all my .mac information on both of my computers. I will be visiting my daughter's after I return. Can I plug my flash drive into her laptop (an Apple, of course) - log into my .mac account and then add and publish to my iWeb sites? Or are there some other adjustments I have to make to my daughter's iWeb before I can publish to my web site. We all have the same edition of iLife 06 - I had bought a family pack.
    Any advice?!! Thanks

  • IWeb site in 2 Languages? Need Help.

    Hello. I've been working on a site that I want to reproduce in another language. French specifically. All of the text that I have added has been properly translated however I can't change items in the blogs such as the date formats and preset links such as: Subscribe, Read More, No Comments, Go to Archive etc. I have the translation however I can't change them. Any help on this would be great.
    Thanks.

    To get those items in the right language, you need to run iWeb in that language. You can do this by switching the system language or making sure only the language you want is checked in File > Get Info > Language when you click on the iWeb program icon.
    Set up another user account to do this in, so as keep things separate.

  • Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple computers without MobileMe

    Hi,
    I've chosen iWeb '09 to create the web presence for one of my hobby clubs (RC aircraft). The club doesn't have a MobileMe account, and I've used the FTP upload feature in iWeb '09 to publish the site. This has been working perfectly for me, but what I'd really like is to be able to continue working from either my MacBook or my iMac, depending upon my location. Sometimes I'm away from home and have some free time to update the site, but other times I am at home and I want to work on it from the big-screen iMac.
    I realize that this can be done via copying domain files to a shared drive, and my thought is to share an external hard drive to both my network, and over the internet via an Airport Extreme. The only documents I was able to find regarding this referred to hosting on MobileMe. My only worry is that this may not be possible if I'm NOT hosting the site on MobileMe. In another life, I used FrontPage to publish such hobby sites, and it could work on the files from any copy of FP on any computer. Though I don't really miss FP as a whole, I do miss that feature.
    Yes, I know it will likely be suggested that the club open a MobileMe account. I have one and I love it, but let's face it... 100 bucks a year is a bit much. The club's entire web hosting service isn't even half that.

    Before I go off on a trip I upload a zipped copy of my domain file to the server. I can then download it onto another Mac in another location to work on it.

  • MobileMe and working on a site between multiple Macs

    In an article I was reading, the following was noted:
    iDisk balks at file packages like iWeb's Domain.sites2 file, making it +difficult for MobileMe users to work on an iWeb site between multiple Macs+.
    Does that mean working at the same time? Or, if for example I'm doing my site on my personal iMac, and then went to college or wanted to work on a MacBook for instance, cannot I complete working on my site through MobileMe?
    I may not be getting it clear.
    Thanks.

    if for example I'm doing my site on my personal iMac, and then went to college or wanted to work on a MacBook for instance, cannot I complete working on my site through MobileMe?
    The point is that to work on an iWeb site with two computers, both must have a copy of the Domain file. There are various ways to do that, like using a memory stick or Dropbox. But uploading and downloading from MobileMe is most likely not practical.

  • Iweb site in  08 editable in 09 ??

    Can an iweb site be edited in 09' if it was created in 08' version ?
    This would be done on two computers... Are they compatible to edit?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Both computers would have to be running the same version of iWeb and use the same domain file. The 08 computer would have to upgrade to iWeb 09.
    Then you would have to have a way for each computer to access the same Domain.sites2 files (but not at the same time). MacWorld online has an article on one way to do that: Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.
    Bottom line: both computers must run the same version of iWeb and not access the domain file at the same time.

  • Download iWeb site from .mac

    Hello
    I make most of my iWeb pages (ver 1.1) at home, but sometimes I am at my vacation home. I have iLife on both machines. Can I download the site I have made which is on .Mac to my second computer AND create new pages to be uploaded to .Mac? I have tried looking around for such a command but I can't find any. I realize that any pages I make on the second machine will have to be updated on my main machine.

    PTakeshige wrote:

    No, because the published files on MobileMe (previously .Mac) cannot be opened in iWeb. Only iWeb's key Domain file can be opened in iWeb, so you can transfer that to another Mac as explained in these articles — the first also applies to iWeb '06...

  • Trying to send all Files from an iweb site via email

    I want to know if it is possible to send a whole iweb site that is saved and only published to a folder, to another person via email.
    I have tried attaching the HTML. index site to an email and the text does appear but I am looking for a way to send all of the files i have form one site in an attachment if this is possible??
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If the total size of the published site folder and index.html file is under 2 GB you can use DropBox to transfer the published site or the domain.sites2 file as Ethmoid suggested. See #21 - Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs with Dropbox. It will work for any type of file for transfer. Just set it up like in the tutorial and either add the domain file or the published site file. It works across platforms. And it's free if you keep it under 2GB.

  • Use Mac to make changes to iWeb Sites created with MacBookPro

    I created two web sites on my MacBook Pro and would like to do additional work on them using my Mac desktop. The sites are saved on my MobileMe account. I launch iWeb on the Mac desktop and can't see the other Sites. How can I work on these with both computers?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will need to copy the Domain.sites2 file from the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your MBP to the same folder on your Mac desktop. If you don't have such a folder on the desktop Mac just create it.
    If you plan on moving between computers frequently for managing the sites put the domain file on a flash drive formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) and open the file on that.
    Or you can try the method described in this online MacWorld article Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs

  • Multiple users password for some pages on iWeb site?

    Hi guys,
    I've been checking out this topic here on AD, but not really happy with what I found. Is there anybody out here who could help me with a multiple users password html code??? I want a "members only" link on the homepage linked to a page where people have to enter username and password and then go to a special "homepage" where they can click to different PDF files. It doesn't sound that hard, but again, I don't like the html codes I found so far. Hope there is someone out here who knows something nice.
    Thanks!!
    Marc : )

    Marc ~ You may have to +"think different"+ to integrate the following suggestion into your iWeb site, but take a look at: http://drop.io/about
    Here's an example: http://drop.io/alancito
    ...the password there is: guest1
    You'll find a downloadable PDF document at the bottom of that page and note that drop.io didn't require an email address, name or personal registration to set up the above “drop”.

  • Iweb 09_good for multiple site designs

    Hi!
    I am looking to upgrade to a better imac and iWeb 09 to create "microsites" for my current print design clients to help expand their marketing. Is this version of iWeb easy to use for that or does it to multiple sites at all? Basically I am asking is this version a good one for multiple site building? Ease of use for that purpose? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb 09 can handle multiple sites quite easily. However, a lot depends on where you plan to host the sites and manage them. Will they each have a domain name for the site?
    On MobileMe you can have only one site with CNAME domain name forwarding to the same account. The others must use the standard html URL forwarding. AND they all must be created in the same Domain.sites2 file. That can be a problem.
    If you use the standard domain name forwarding with MMe for all the sites then you can have a separate domain file for each client and use Web Site Maestro to manage then them and select which one to open and work on.
    If each client will provide their own hosting server then it's possible that CNAME forwarding can be used for each client if they have a domain name and their server supports CNAME.
    I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual sites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • More than one user login to iWeb site? Can it be done?

    I am wondering if it's possible to create multiple users to log into a iWeb site. However I think you can only have one username and one password, but maybe I'm missing something.

    I am wondering if it's possible to create multiple
    users to log into a iWeb site. However I think you
    can only have one username and one password, but
    maybe I'm missing something.
    It's not very clear what you mean by "users" or "site." If you are talking about .Mac, and about different user accounts on your machine being able to do things on a single .Mac account, there is no problem -- the same username and password can be put into the .Mac preferences for each account. Any iWeb sites created from different machine accounts will have their data located exclusively in the Domain file in the Home folder of that account. One user can't edit the site of another user without tranfering the relevant Domain file.
    If that's not what you are talking about, let us know.

  • 5 users to contribute content from window based PC's to iWeb site

    I would like to create a website in iWeb '09 which will require multiple users to contribute/publish content, but the other site collaborators do not have Macs, just Windows-based PCs.

    Welcome to the discussions. Even if your five users all had Macs running the same version of iWeb, it would still be difficult for them to contribute content — because iWeb's site data is stored in a Domain file on a Mac. This Domain file would need to be exchanged around the users for updating — which is not very practical for Mac users and impossible for PC users.
    Instead of using iWeb, I suggest using a web-based design app accessible from PCs and Macs. Some of these apps have specific features for sharing whilst others may be sharable by giving out the single username/password to the other users. But this could be problematic if there's only a single email address associated with the username.
    This first one is specifically designed for sharing:
    Backpack
    Google Sites claims to make creating and sharing a group website easy:
    Google Sites
    This one focusses upon "social networking":
    Ning
    ...With Ning you can add tabs and sub-tabs to specific pages and external links via the Tab Manager feature. Mouse-over the menu items at this Ning site:
    http://www.openwineconsortium.org
    And their tab manager:

    Other web-based design apps are:
    SnapPages
    Yola
    Viviti
    Jimdo
    Weebly
    Sampa
    Wix
    If a sharable blog format is acceptable, you could hyperlink from your iWeb site is to a free Posterous blog. Posterous has "dead simple group blogging by email" where each of your three possible blogs can now have multiple contributers — see more here.
    General info about Posterous blogs is in their FAQ. ...Group members can contribute text, photos, sound and video files, etc. to a Posterous blog simply by email. Plus there is the usual commenting capability plus comment alerts for the account holder.
