Moving an existing site?

I have a feeling I know the answer to this but here goes: I have a web site managed elsewhere. Can I move it to .Mac? Or would I have to redo it using Iweb?

Hi,
If you change to use another Edge server you need to change SRV record, certificate and other configuration with the help of the part of “Configuring Federation with Partners” according the federation type you choose:

What’s more, for the federation companies, they need to update federation configuration on their sides.

Integrate Tribevita template into existing site

Hi all
I am going through the pleasure of integrating a new Tribevita template into an existing site ie so the crucial sales data etc is maintained. From my research, this is a bit of work and basically it seems you are copying various parts of the new template into the current (old) site.
I gather the process of integrating a new site involves:
1. Recreate the folders, web app layouts, forms, content holders, photo galleries etc from the new template, into your existing site.
2. Change the relevant ID's in the html in the new site, so they match the ID's of those just created in step 1
3. Then.... ftp all the new template's pages, assets, css, files etc into the OLD site....and in theory you will have your new & improved website all while maintaining all that traffic and sales data.
The new template site is a reponsive site from Tribevita - Flora Design, so I don't know if that will have any issues moving across to the old site. Has anyone gone through this process and can you give me any advice on things to look out for and if the above the correct method to do this changeover.
Many thanks.
David

Hi Buzzvick - glad you messaged me as I've been meaning to let you know but couldn't find this thread.
OK it did go smoothly but here's what I learnt.
First make sure the template you bought is almost EXACTLY what you want. Ie products display the same as you want them to, search pages etc work how you want to. Find one that you would be happy to use as is just with minor changes like colours.
Create your template on a test site. Write down your login details as you will refer to it often. FTP copy this new site.
FTP copy your new site again and save it as a working file (e.g NEW SITE - Working file)
Create all logos and banners in the sizes you will need for new template.
FTP copy your old site - save it as ORIGINAL SITE and lock it in your files.
FTP copy you old site again and save it as working - use this to compare the files for when you upload the new template
FTP copy your old site once again and save it somewhere else just in case you need it!
copy your products and customers for backup
do a sync if you are using onesaas etc
I also printed all invoices from start of BC / made sure I had a foolproof backup
Create a new start page and say you are doing updates (if you are tackling it all in one day)
(I was recommended to check duplicate scripts, css, images, templates etc but I realised this would take hours / days so skipped it and bit the bullet - If i had more time I would have but as I was prepared for our site (=my site) to be offline and have customers call if problems I jumped right in).
FTP across the template to your website - I used the 'working' file and deleted files on my computer once I had uploaded them so I new what was still to be done.
Update the template and page module numbers etc (I used a script from BC Gurus that showed the module ID numbers next to it - message me if you need it).
Screenshot the NEW template (on test site) and also OLD template ID numbers (using script above) and print it out - this will save hours as easy to cross compare.
If the menus don't show - which ours weren't - RECREATE them... this took me 2 hours to work out why they weren't showing as I just duplicated them and it didn't work!!
Now change over page templates - start with unpopular pages like about us etc
Using firebug fix up any styling etc and update css.
I also removed / delete all my old styling sheets and just kept the new template one (hence your site might look a bit fuzzy so make sure you do it on a crappy sales day or with the maintenance page loaded)
- I used FTP with my new template file in one screen and current site in the other screen and deleted anything that wasn't in the new template (make sure your original site backup is on file).
Check all categories, pages etc - e.g update home page etc
Check ipad / iphone versions (I use firefox web tools that resizes screen as our new site is responsive)
Make site live (remove maintenance page)
Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
Add in all Google analytics and trackings.
Update your SEO info e.g title tags - I went page by page through my old site templates and copied any SEO or scripts I'd need and saved it in word
Recheck site again - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. Test it all again.
Recheck site again from other browsers - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
I also kept a notepad handy and highlighted all the above once done. I also wrote down anything little that needed to be changed and kept going on the above. If you start fixing little things as you go you will never finish. I employed my 90% principle - get 90% done then do the remaining little 10% once 90% is up.
And good luck! It took me from 8am Saturday morning to 5.30am the Sunday morning - so almost a good 24hours! Luckily I'd had a super early Friday night (no life that weekend!) and did it from my home office. So I'd recommend only conquering it when you can pull an all nighter so the site is done.
Hope that helps

Can I load an existing site in iWeb?

I have a website that I put together with an old program I can't use in OS Leopard (wouldn't want to anyway). I want to start using iWeb to work on my web pages. Can I load the pages of my site into the iWeb program to edit? How do I do that? Thanks.

No, iWeb can't open, edit, or import an existing site.

Moving an existing SQL Express Database to SQL Server 2008 (included in SBS2011) help!

I have software that uses SQL 2005 right now, but the database is close the max size (4 GB). I have SBS2011 installed and it includes SQL 2008 and SQL 2008R2. I want to move the database to the 2008 version that can that can handle larger databases.
I'm not an SQL expert, but have some experience with it. What I need are some directions on how to make this change without causing any problems with the system, including setting up the SQL server so it will have all the same settings as the old one.
This is a practice management software.
Thanks in advance for any help. Harvey

Hi,
I think you can upgrade SQL Server 2005 to later version of SQL Server rather than moving the existing database to another SQL Server instance.
Upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP2 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and SQL Server 2005 SP4 SQL Server 2012 Express. And you will have maximum 10 GB per database.
Make sure that your operation system is compatible with SQL Server
version which you want to upgrade to. For more information, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.105).aspx#SSE_x64
It is possible to backup and restore the database on another instance and modify the database path in the software.
You need to test it in your test environment first before making changes in the production environment.
In addition, you need to consult with the software developer and see if there is any potential issue.

Can not open existing sites in iWeb 09

I can't open sites that I built in iWeb 09 after my hard drive has been reformatted, I can only open new.

if you were using time machine or any other backup system you should be able to recover a copy of the domain file.
All your iweb work is in the domain file, if that isn't frequently backed up, you lose your edited work. Your published site should still be fine but if you republish iWeb now it will overwrite your published site and it will be gone as well.
By default, the "domain" file is in your user/library/application support/iWeb folder.
You will have to start over if you want to make changes to your published site. If you have to redevelop your site, publish to a local folder until you get it the way you want it, because when you publish to your server it will overwrite your existing site. in the future keep your domain file frequently backed up and keep copies somewhere other than your hard drive.
Hopefully you were using time machine, if not I feel your pain.
Sincerely, David

Update content type template for existing sites in sharepoint 2010 ?

Hi,
I created one custom document library (list definition) and associated 3 content types which has docment template path (\_layouts.template1.docx). I rollout nearly 200 sites with this definition. now i want to update my document template and also i want
to change template docx to dotx.
what is the best approach to apply these changes for existing sites ?
Thanks,
Surya.
suryakumarp

Hi suryakumar,
As I understand, you want to update the template
for existed content type.
It can be achieved by programming. There is a
SPContentType.DocumentTemplateUrl Property, which can be used to update content type.
Here is a demo:

How to apply CSS to Existing Site

Help! I am a Macromedia Dreamweaver user. I manage a few simple sites on a volunteer basis. I was recently forced by a new computer purchase to upgrade to CS4 for Vista compatibility.
I have never used Style Sheets. I've spent several hours this afternoon combing the web for instructions and found that most of the information assumes way more knowledge than I have, and the more basic articles seem to provide nice overviews of what CSS is and why one might want to use it, or possibly how to build a new site using CSS, but they have not answered my "how to" questions about my existing sites.
My two most pressing unanswered question are these:
1) I seem to have successfully created a new CSS rule by selecting a section of text in the document, setting the Property Inspector to CSS and then naming the rule and choosing a font style and size (although the new rule dialog box never appeared - I did it all in the Property Inspector). Do I have to go through the whole site and apply this rule individually to each section of body text? The existing document has all the text set by its specific features (e.g. Arial Bold 10), not using "heading 1" "heading 2" etc.
2) I do not use Dreamweaver to upload my finished documents. I use a site-managemet ftp page on my host server. Once I've created these CSS style rules, is there anyting that I need to upload besides my edited pages?
Thank you in advance for help.

If you are using the same font family, font size, colour, etc... you can use a separate style sheet and just use
body {font-size:14px; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif}
this will make all your site the same body style.
Do I have the book for you: CSS in easy steps by Mike McGrath isbn#1-84078-301-x
It's a really good beginner's book to CSS. And really easy to read! Was a huge help to me in my beginnings of CSS.
Also, www.lynda.com is a great resource.
Hope this helps!
You'll need to upload that extra css page with the rest of your site!

Download an existing site

All the tutorials I have found have dealt with creating new
sites and publishing them. I have a site already on the internet
that I want to work on with DW. I have been unsuccessful at
importing it using DW and it won't synchronize with the existing
site if I simply FTP my old way. Kind hearted suggestions would be
appreciated...
Ginia

Ignore what you've been told.
1. Define a site in DW (refer to Help (F1) to learn how to
properly define a
site).
2. Connect to your (remote) site.
3. Get (DW term) the site.
If you follow DW's instructions and define your site
correctly this will
work perfectly.

FTP publishing on iWeb to replace existing site - files not appearing.

On iWeb, I used FTP publishing to replace my existing site files, then deleted the original files but not only has the new site files not appeared in my public html folder but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Founderror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
That's an indication that the index.html file that is created alongside the site folder by iWeb is missing.
Try publishing your site to a folder on your hard driive and use a 3rd part ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.
Cyberduck or Transmit will let you view your server folder in a Finder like window where you can see which files are missing.

Issues editing HTML on an existing site.

I am attempting to replace the existing content in a site's left panel with custom HTML.
I refined the HTML working with a new blank subsite and was able to use the "Edit HTML" option directly in the Left Panel without adding a Content Editor Web Part.
When I go to the existing site I am unable to get the "Edit HTML" option within the panel itself and when I add a Content Editor Web Part it completely breaks my formatting.
Is there any way to apply HTML directly to an existing site panel without using a web part?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to customize the quick launch of your SharePoint 2010 site.
For your issue, you can use the SharePoint web interface or SharePoint Designer 2010. You can have a look at the blog:

I need to know how you would publish a new site into an existing site

Okay I have a new Dreamweaver website that I just created for my brother in-laws law firm and want to publish in onto an ftp server but the sever already has the existing site published onto it and before I have it pulled down I would like to publish this new site on there to see if everything is going to work okay and if everything is displayed correctly. Does anyone know if there is a way I can do this and how to do it? Please help!!!
Thanks

I typically create a TEST folder on the remote site. Upload new pages and dependant files there for debugging and testing purposes. Then using a 3rd party ftp ware (filezilla, cute ftp or Ws_ftp pro), I move the new site files & folders over to the root directory. If you have used the same filenames as were on the old site, new pages will overwrite the old ones. If you used a different naming convention, you will need to delete old files from server.

Document ID moving across the site collection

Thanks for reading, let me explain my scenario before my question
1. we have huge site collection with full of documents
2. want to enable document id feature to track of documents
3. we want to run the process to archive docs which are older than 6 months into different site collection.
4. after 2 years, we will have 4 archived site collections, documents are spread across the various site collection
Does document id move across the site collections, still users can get old document using initially assigned document id after archive into different site collection?
I read some documentation on document iD that it is targeted for Site Collection level.
S.Venkata Appaji

Hi Appaji,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preserve the Document ID when moving the documents across site collections.
Per my knowledge, the document id will be preserved when the document has been moved from one Site Collection to another Site Collection.
During move operations, SharePoint Server 2010 keeps the document ID. During copy operations SharePoint Server 2010 assigns a new document ID. You can control this by setting a Boolean operator on the PersistID column.

Edit Existing Site With Dreamweaver

Im sure this question has been asked 100 times but how do I edit an existing site (published and on the web) with Dreamweaver CS5.5? I took over as webmaster last month at a company and would like to edit the companys website. How do I download the files off the web? I can do it with Contribute but not Dreamweaver.

Create a local site folder in DW. Site > Manage Sites > New.
Go to Advanced > Remote info and enter your log in-details (FTP, host URL, username, password).
Test connection to server.
Then GET files from server.

Import existing site to iweb?

I'm switching from pc to mac, and having some web publishing issues.
I've got a couple existing published websites that I'd like to import onto my mac and edit. I opened iweb to try it out, and I can't seem to simply open the existing site within iweb. Is that possible?
If that's not possible, can someone recommend an HTML editor? I use Dreamweaver on my PC, but don't want to shell out an additional $399 for the mac version.
thanks.

I use BBEdit for all of my web development. It is very good but is geared towards advanced users.

Importing existing site made in another app into iWeb

Hi,
Is it possible to import to iWeb a site created in RapidWeaver? Or, at somehow have any new iWeb site I do, and keep the work I did the in RW online.
I don't necessarily need to edit it, but I'd like to keep that RW site intact and available.
Also, Roddy, thanks for this link you put in another thread- I've got a lot to study:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_FAQ.html
Guy

No; iWeb cannot import existing sites. If you have the HTML and other files from RapidWeaver, store them on your hard disk, and then use iWeb to publish to a folder, posting those pages as desired.
