IWEB to create a site for online purchasing

I have a friend that sells old books, and want to set up a web site to do this online, would you say that this is slightly ambitious for an iWEB based development , i.e. how do you manage a small data base ? provide search functions and actually handle the payments side of the transaction ?
thx
John

You can integrate PayPal into iWeb. It means that you would have to go and set up a PayPal business account and then use the PayPal logo on your site, then list the books for sale and people would click on purchase and go and pay straight away via PayPal.
Your other option is to create a shopping cart separately and then link to it from your website, so people can then purchase the books.
You can have databases, but this means that you would have to publish your site to an external server at GoDaddy and it also means registering a domain name too.
Your other option of course is not to use iWeb at all and go for something like http://www.weebly.com. You can create a site online and I think you can integrate a shopping cart into this.
If you already have a domain name and hosting, your other alternative is to use something like Drupal, which is a content management system, where you can have databases and there is also a shopping cart module that you can install. This might be a better way to go, but it can be quite a steep learning curve.

  • Using iWeb to create a site for another .Mac family pack user

    I started a new site in iWeb for our son today, but I can't see how to upload it so it resides in his part of the family account we have on .mac.
    Is this possible?
    If not, if I publish his pages how does it interact with our main family site that is currently uploaded.

    But with two sites in iWeb now, what will end up on my son's part of the site when I hit publish? Should I try to keep changes to just one site or the other and do the user ID switch, or will it try to post all the pages to each account?

  • Can I use iWeb to create a website with visitor purchasing options?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to use iWeb to create and publish a website for a small business like mine where visitors to the site can select items and have the option to make credit card purchases from the site. Obviously all the security for online purchasing would need to be there also. Is iWeb capable of that or does Apple offer a different web page software that can do this?
    Thanks to anyone who can help,

    Welcome to the discussions. Not natively.
    ...or does Apple offer a different web page software that can do this?
    As far as I know, Apple has no s/w offerings of that sort. Bear this in mind when considering e-commerce and the MobileMe Service:
    “The Service is designed for personal individual use and is not intended to be used for commercial business purposes, including, but not limited to, transacting online sales or software distribution via an e-commerce site.”
    ...Quoted from the MobileMe Terms of Service. PayPal buttons can be inserted into iWeb pages via the HTML Snippet window — but you may want to consider more complete alternatives such as this:
    http://blog.weebly.com/2/post/2009/05/announcing-weebly-e-commerce-features.html
    ...You could hyperlink from iWeb to your "shop" there and there's even a way to hyperlink to it from iWeb's navigation bar.

  • Can I create & publish site for another .Mac user?

    My wife is a .Mac member and I piggybacked a .Mac e-mail address through her account. Now I'm trying to help my father, a recent Mac convert and .Mac member, by creating a website for him with my version of iWeb 08. When I open iWeb on my computer (first time as I've always used Dreamweaver to create websites), I'm locked out of pretty much everything (I'm assuming because I'm not a full .Mac member which it's somehow linking to). If I have my father's .Mac info, can I create a site for him and upload it for him on my computer, and if so, how would I do this?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    ~Chris

    All you need to do to post to his .Mac account is find out what his .Mac username and password are and input them into the .Mac pane of System Preferences. That will give iWeb access to his .Mac space. If you end up getting your own .Mac at a later time, you will have to change that info in System Prefs.
    I created a separate user on my computer for a 2nd website that I publish for my church. That way I keep all the iWeb and .Mac account info separate without having to jump through any hoops - I just have to switch users.

  • Need help for creating sharepoint sites for both internet and intranet users

    We would like to know what is the best approach to create SharePoint sites for our customers(internet users) and internal employees(intranet users) on the same SharePoint server. Here is the scenario:
    1) A customer posts a document from internet.
    2) This triggers a approval workflow that can only be accessed and executed in the intranet environment. This approval process requires approval's possible modifications to the customer's document.
    3) We would like the customer not to able to check the approval state and the modified document until the document is fully approved and finalized.
    We are pondering if we need to create two sites, one site for customer and the other site is for internal approvers. Or one site is possible. It also looks like we need to somehow copy customer's original document to intranet site and triggers the workflow.
    Any design ideas are helpful. Thank you advance!

    Hi Jason,
    Though it is perfectly possible to have both intranet and internet on the server, it is not a recommended practice. Having both on the same server would have multiple problems, instead me detailing it out, here is a forum thread on which Trevor had given
    enough reasons -
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9b550c33-6f5f-4cd9-8762-8ff389b747d9/sharepoint-2013-one-farm-to-host-intranet-extranet-internet?forum=sharepointadmin
    If you have valid reason to go with single server, then you can also explore email enabled lists as one option and another one would be using custom sharepoint designer workflow.
    you can also try using event receivers to send documents to intranet site from internet site, process everything and update the document in the internet site.
    Hope this helps!

  • Creating inbound delivery for the purchase order line items

    Hi Experts,
    Please let me know how can I create inbound delivery for the purchase order line items?  Say, I have a purchase order with 5 line items in it.  I wanted to create an inbound delivery for only 2 line items at this point of time.  Which SAP Standard transaction I have to use and what all  data I need to populate?  I would appreciate any help on this and will reward the right answer.  Please let me know.
    Thank you in advance.
    with regards,
    Muthu Ganapathy.

    Hi,
    While creating the inbound delivery (VL31N), intially all the items will be shown, see the advance shipping notfication - from the vendor for which he has send confirmation & rest items you can delete simply & save. & next time when the vendor sends rest advance shipping notifcation (confirmation), you can receive them.
    Hope this answers your query.
    Regards
    Irfan.

  • Changed credit card in the payment information now can't purchase anything.  The new credit card i use all the time for online purchases but can't buy anything on iTunes.

    I Changed my payment information to a different credit card, now it won't work.  The new credit card has been used for online purchasing all the time but I can't buy anything on iTunes or in game app purchases.

  • I am unable to open my iWeb-created web site, for which I have a backup.

    My web site is online and I want to access it to make changes. It does not appear when I open iweb, but I have a backup copy on my desktop. When I move backup onto icon for iweb, it doesn't open it. How can I open it again? Since my last opening of it, I've installed the new OS-X software - 10.9
    I'm not very computer literate, but I did download the file:
    file:///Users/monicaanderson/.Trash/iWeb%20Switch%20Domain.app/
    file:///Users/monicaanderson/.Trash/iWebDrop%2013-50-25-235.app/
    I copied these links from my download folder and neither would open.
    Can anyone help me -- in simple terms
    Thank you

    iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open any published website at all.
    All the data from your iWeb sites is stored in what is called your domain.sites files.  These can be located under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Find this file and double click it and iWeb will open it.
    The User Library is hidden in Mavericks, so to display it you need to click on the Go menu at the top and then click the alt key and your User Library will then be displayed and then you need to go to Application Support and then iWeb and then you will find your domain.sites files from there.
    If you can't find these files, then you are looking at re-building your site from scratch and there is no way in which you can alter your site because unfortunately the backup of your site that you need is your domain.sites files and not a published version - this is not good in iWeb because iWeb has no import facility so cannot open it.

  • Creating a site for mobile devices

    Good morning,
    I have a number of questions relating to the creation of a
    site for mobile devices. My client has given me the assignment to
    re-design his current website, and to also create a sub-site
    suitable for mobiles. I have spent a number of hours looking around
    on the Internet and trying to gain a better understanding of these
    issues. Still, a number of questions remain. if you can give me any
    additional understanding, that would be great.
    Question 1:
    Is my understanding correct: I basically need to create two
    sites, one for the wide-screen browser, and one for the mobile
    browser? I can direct visitors to the mobile site using a CSS or
    javascript link - if their browser identifies them as a mobile
    browser?
    Question 2
    Mobile devices come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and
    versions. PDA\s and iPhone's have different screensizes and
    resolutions that smart--phones, which in turn are different again
    from older and simpler phones. Should I design a site for a number
    of different types of phones? That would a huge amount of work...
    Question 3
    I also own Device Central, an App which I should think is
    very useful in this situation. But I fail to understand it! OK, so
    I can see what my photo or website or flash file looks like on my
    Nokia N73 - but I am not designing specifically for that phone. I
    also want my design to look good on all the other phones! My client
    needs a website that is not tailored to one phone, but to all
    phones.
    Question 4
    And why does Device Central not have profiles for the iPhone?
    I would think it is popular enough to warrant its own profile... (I
    post this from the Netherlands, where the iPhone is not carried
    yet, and so I have only ever held one in my hand). Is this because
    the iphone can see regular sites just fine?
    Question 5
    How does Dreamweaver help me build a mobile site?
    Question 6
    My client wants to show video on his website. In fact, that's
    what this website is all about: showing sports-videos from high
    profile sporting events. Which video-formats are most suitable?
    Question 7
    Do all mobile phones support flash? Or only a few? Or none?
    It seems to me that a flash website would allow for more creativity
    in the design.
    Thanks for any help you can give. Any resources you could
    point me to are also very welcome...
    Sincerely,
    Rogier Bos
    Rotterdam, The Netherlands

    You have to contact the company who you registered your domain name with and ask them to transfer that name to the server that you upload your website files to.

  • I created a site for a client...

    I designed a site for a guy who loved music, wanted to own a Hiphop News Site.
    So I we talked about it for a day or so, and He insist that he pay everything upfront 100%
    After about a 5 day wait, It was nearly done.
    Looked good, but when I asked if he had any social networking ( Facebook, Twitter, Instagram account for the Hiphop News Site ) he told me he didn't want any.
    So I pressed forward and got it done in three more days.
    On the day it was done, He sent me a Facebook message and said " I want News, Music, Albums, Videos, and a Home page instead of the original five pages, and get it done by tomorrow " As I told him a whole new site change were to take at least a week, He stopped replying, but I sent it to him via email.
    I messaged him over Facebook and asked him to chest his email, and he never replied.
    I now have about two weeks worth of site work under my belt, A domain under my name ( Its in my list of domains I own ), A professional email account that Im paging out of my pocket for monthly, and still no word from the guy, AT ALL.
    Id like to redo it to someone else's standards ( If you ask me its a pour site due to the guy being so simple and demanding, not wanting to do anything good with it ) and sell it to them, but Im not sure if I legally can.
    If you were in my spot ( Considering you're a great guy / lady, I already know a lot of Adobe people who reply are actually AMAZING people! ) What would you do?

    He could be on vacation, ill or worse.  You don't know.  If you're in a rush, send him a certified letter (return signature/receipt requested) with a reasonable deadline for project completion. After which you quit the project and stop paying for things like e-mail accounts, etc...
