IWeb site modified by other editors

I am having great fortune using iWeb so far for several different sites. My question may be obvious to some, but I would like other input.
If I build a site for someone and 'hand it over' to them - not my domain file, but the published folder - could they make updates and changes to this from a PC with something like FrontPage? They don't have Macs and I am not using anything but my Mac. Thanks in advance for options!

There is a program called snippetmaster I am implementing on my sites and allows my clients to edit the images and content you specify. You can restrict access to certain areas too, so they can't screw up the site. It will take time to implement them on your pages, but it is worth it when its done.

I have two me accounts - how do I switch from one iweb site to the other

I have two me accounts and want to run two seperate iweb accounts but when I used iweb in either it shows the same webpage
So whether I sign in as one account or the other - iweb only remembers the last updates I made and applies them to both so I cant use it for two different accounts with totally different sets of content
how do I make different web pages for different accounts?

Go into iWeb and create your sites and then save them. Then log into your first MME account under system preferences and then open iWeb and click on Publish All to MMe and that site will be published.
Go back to System Preferences and then log out of one account and then log back into the other account. Once logged into this account, then go back to iWeb and click on your second site and then click on Publish All to MMe and that site will be published to that account - it will show at the bottom of the screen.
The other way to do it is on your main computer, set up two more user accounts and have both your MME accounts under the two different user accounts so you can switch easily between the two.

My website has reverted to pre-iWeb site

I have had my website through iWeb for at least 4 months. Tonight when searched for it, I noticed that the whole iWeb format is gone and my website has reverted to it's pre-iWeb look (I created it on a PC)
I have some important job applications out and people are going to be looking for my gallery and resume online. Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
Thank you!

you say you searched for it?
if the old site is still there it should have a different address than the iweb site.
how do you publish the iweb site?

Cannot modify iWeb site on different computer

Followed instructions on how to modify iWeb site on a different computer (went into the library->application support->iWeb and copied the "domain" file to the different computer. Opened iWeb = generic site instead of site we created. Double-clicked filename in list = box popped up asking me if I wanted to create a new domain or open an existing one, although it would not let me select the newly copied file from the list (grayed out).
Any solutions?

I haven't a second computer, but I have multiple users on my computer. They are all me, but my mac doesn't know that.
I copied a domain file to another user account.
As the other user, i double-clicked it to open the file, I could publish (to a folder) but I couldn't save the changes.
It simply is a matter of permissions.
Select the domain file in the Finder and type Cmd-I(nfo). In the info panel change the owner of the file.
But that is not enough.
The content of the file still has the previous owner's permission set.
Control-Click/Right-click the domain file and choose 'Show package content'.
Display the opended folder in list view and expand all folders. Do that by typing Cmd-A (Select all) and then press Cmd-rightarrow key to expnad the folders.
Do select all again and repeat expand, until the file count stays the same.
Do select all again and type Cmd-Alt-I(nfo) (Alt is also known as Option).
Change the owner to the current user and select read/write from the menu.
The domain file is now yours.

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:

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.

I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
Here's a publishing workflow checklist...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html
The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
...and change the relevant URLs to...
http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...

If you have inbound links on other sites...

Blog page in iweb site not responding or linking like other pages

Hi
This is a new issue for me. I have multiple pages that I created in my iweb site through my personal domain ... studio8films.net
All page hyperlinks will work properly, but the BLOG page seems to stall and when I look at the bottom of the window it is trying to access www.me.com where ALL THE OTHER PAGES show the access to web.mac.com
Can someone tell me why this is the case? It doesn't make sense. And it is a new issue.

Furthermore ...
When the BLOG page finally loads, I click on the 'add comment' and a message comes up that says 'We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request.
Is there something going on with mobile.me and iweb blog pages or is there something wrong on my end?

Link to other published web folder from within password protected iWeb site

I realise that you cannot password protect an iWeb site if it contains a link to an external page / file. However, I have a complex genealogy site that I had previously published to another site. I directly copied this folder to the iWeb directory alongside the folder for the protected site published from iWeb. I have tried all sorts of link URLs on the protected site page, trying to link to the genealogy index.html file. iWeb refuses to allow password protection or even point correctly to the site.
Does anyone know how to create a suitable link to a site folder created elsewhere?

I have a password protected site with a page that has a link to an ordinary homepage.mac.com page, with no problems. Could you provide more details on what is not working for you? Maybe putting your geneology folder in iDisk/Sites and linking to that would help?

Can other people upload pictures to my iweb site and other people comment or rate them? if so how?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you use a MobileGallery from iPhoto to house your photos and videos you can set it up in the settings so visitors can upload items to the gallery via email.
Click to view full size
You can them embed the gallery in an iWeb page like this: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies.
I've not tried emailing a photo to a gallery so can't comment on how well it works.
For photo pages or album pages in iWeb visitors can add comments and attachments, photos, which other visitors can view. How they are added I don't know. Here's what the iWeb Help says about that:
+*About visitor comments and attachments*+
+If you publish your site to MobileMe, you can let visitors add comments and attach files (which other visitors can download) to blog, podcast, and photos pages. These comments and attachments are visible to anyone who visits your website. To prevent automated programs from posting spam to your site, anyone who posts a comment is first required to type a displayed group of characters.+
+Comments appear as soon as they’re posted, and you can delete a comment and its attachment at any time using iWeb or by visiting your site with any browser. You can also turn off comments to prevent new postings without affecting the comments already posted.+
+Comments and attachments are stored on your iDisk. Each comment can be a maximum of 32 kilobytes (KB), and each attachment can be up to 5 megabytes (MB).+
+IMPORTANT:Before posting anything to your website, make sure you own the copyright and other rights to what you or others are posting, or that you obtained all necessary permissions.+

Is there any way to delete a page listing on the top of the IWeb site. I created a page which has links to the other pages, so I don't need all of them listed on top...

Better ask in the iWeb forum.
Answer : inspector > first icon from the left > uncheck 'Display navigation menu'
For future reference, also look at the other icons.

Is it possible to embedd other Non YouTube videos on iWeb sites?

You know how there's a YouTube Widget that lets you easily embed YouTube videos on iWeb sites? I imagine this Widget doesn't work for none YouTube videos (e.g. MetCafe), so how do we embed those on our web site pages?

Use an HTML Snippet and an iFrame code.....

There are two versions of the same movie on this test page. One uses the Vimeo code and the other uses an iFrame code with the URL to the Video.

ICal Integration with iWeb site

I used PHP iCalendar (Thanks to Gs World for having it on his page) and thought that this is pretty cool.
http://www.txbluebonnetwp.org/iCal/
What do you think?
This page is under my main calendar site (Click on the Test Calendar link in the Banner - if you get lost.)
Here is where to find PHP iCalendar. it is open source. and you have config it just a little in a text editor (Read the Read Me File)
http://phpicalendar.net/
It is not terribly hard to get a calendar on the site. You make one in iCal, then put it in the calendar folder inside the PHP iCalendar Folder (get rid of the three samples (Work, Holidays etc.)
Upload that folder to your server, and make some links to that folder in you iWeb site. Customizing it can get trickier, but it is pretty logical the way it is laid out. I am hardly comfortable with code but seem to have it working pretty good so far.
Would love some feedback about the site!!!
Thanks
Cobe

I think you have to copy your calendar to the server. But it only takes a second.
As for a stylesheet, it has a folder of templates that you can modify: header.tpl, admin.tpl, calendar.tpl etc. (i changed the header.tpl - and it is changed on all the pages).
All the template files seem to be built nested within each other so that you only have to change it once.
There is also a default.css file in there.

Try this community: MobileMe on my Mac: MobileMe: Apple Support Communities.
And you can continue to use iWeb for some time to come. The following will explain:
It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

IWeb site blank in IE, but perfect in Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Hello all,
I'm sorry, I know this question comes up again and again, but what I have read and attempted doesn't seem to help my website. I just started using iWeb last week and I really enjoy it. I was using Dreamweaver before which is a great program for CSS and HTML editing, but really doesn't compare to the simplicity and speed of designing with a WYSIWYG like iWeb.
So are there a few big culprits as to why iWeb sites don't display in IE 6,7, or 8? I realize this is pretty much an Internet Explorer problem, but can I fix at least some of the content without doing a ton of hacking to my site?
I am already fixing one issue using Dreamweaver:
iWeb: +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
instead of: +<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">+
...so I'm not afraid to publish with iWeb, then edit a few things in the HTML/CSS. Can anything be done? It's a fairly simple website: mantheipc.webege.com (ignore text content, needs a lot of revision).
*Other info:*
Free hosting via 000webhost.com
iWeb '08 2.0.4
OS X 10.5.7
Dreamweaver CS5
Uploading via FileZilla
Tested to work under Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (Mac+PC)
Tested and failed to load in IE 6,7,8 at http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
Tested and failed to load in IE 6 on XP Laptop
Thanks a lot for your time,
Dylan

Removing the first line of every HTML document permits the site to load in IE.
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
To figure out why IE wouldn't display my site, I created a new blank page and added an image, a hyperlink, a text box, and a fancy CSS text box. I also set a background gradient and page color. The page wouldn't display in IE, so I started deleting HTML by hand with a text editor starting with the most likely culprits (in-line CSS, javascript, etc). I was down to an image, hyperlink, bgcolor, and center tags and the site still wouldn't load. Realizing these are the most basic html tags there are, the only thing left that could cause a problem was that first line.
While I realize this is not at all an ideal solution, it worked. Not only does the site load, but it looks about as good as it does in Firefox and Chrome. No transparency issues or anything! The first line isn't vital to site display, but it does cause the browser to 'guess' what type of encoding the page is in. All of my testing indicated this isn't an issue on my PC or Mac, but I need to try friends and family's PC's too.
Tested good on:
IE8, Firefox, and Chrome in Windows 7
Firefox, Chrome, and Safari in MacOS Leopard
Thanks again to everyone who read and contributed!
Dylan

Edit iweb site in Dreamweaver

Has anyone tried to recreate an iweb site using Dreamweaver on a pc? Why would you do this? Just for the experience of learning Dreamweaver. The first hurdle is trying to find all the images which are scattered instead of located in one images subfolder.

> but I cannot figure out how to open
> the main page and start editing it.
Read the instructions on the drupal site or elsewhere on how
to modify or
customize the "template" system they use.
You cannot edit the actual pages of a drupal CMS in
dreamweaver- it is all
php and included files and database calls. The "pages" you
see in the site
don't exist anywhere, they are assembled on the fly by the
drupal scripting.
