Muliple iWeb sites and publishing into folders

I have 2 questions.
1) I want to be able to have multiple iWeb sites that are unique to each other. Is there an easy way to do that?
2) Related to the 1st question, I am trying to publish just one folder (or site) within the iWeb window. I imagine that would be easy if I knew how to do question one. But in the possibility that a iWeb would have multiple site folders within them, is there a way to just publish one to a folder? I am using iWeb to publish to an external webhost (not .mac) and havent been able to figure this out. I have always been able to just publish all to a folder and then just cherry pick what I want to ftp upload to the hosted site.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give...

Ken:
Here's how I handle multiple sites:
One way to handle multiple sites is to use iWebSites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files. If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites.
For me it makes updating/editing several sites and then publishing only one very easy.

  • Several iweb sites 2 publish?

    I have created a first site and now that I have a better understanding of iweb I want to build a new site. I clicked new site and have published it to mobileme using different domain names. When i try and visit the site i am directed to the first site.
    Is it possible to build a second site and publish with a site already published? The second site has a big long name with the first sites name embeded into the second site! Can anyone help?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Where are you hosting the sites?
    Are both sites in the same domain.sites2 file?
    Have you purchased a domain name for any of those sites and what method of domain name forwarding are you using?
    Here's some info on Multiple Sites with Domain Name(s) in a Single MobileMe Account
    Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
    Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.DomainName.com/Site_Name/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:
    http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Domain_Name/PageName.
    With domain name masking that will be shortened to:
    http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

  • Quick question about mobile sites and publishing.

    I currently have a desktop site at fabhollie.com
    I would like to start designing a phone and tablet site. My question is can I publish only the desktop site rather than all three? I would like to be able to work on the mobile site without publishing them until I have completed them. Some of the content on my requires me to update it weekly. Is there any way I could make these changes on my desktop site and publish them without publishing the unfinished phone and table pages? Thanks.

    You certainly can! ;-)
    Go into your site Properties. Select Mobile on the left and uncheck the redirect button down on the lower right. This will still publish the mobile site to the live server so you can test it but it won't automatically redirect until  you check that box again.
    It is a feature designed for exactly what you want to do.

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

    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).+

  • Differences between Publishing sites and publishing enabled document library

    Hi
    what is the main differences between Publishing sites and publishing enabled document library 
    and how to enable publishing for document library?
    adil

    Publishing Sites is an out-of-the-box site template designed to publish web pages and it comes with a pre-built workflow or without (depends on which template you pick). It comes with libraries such as Pages library, Publishing Images, or Site Images.
    It is configured to fully customized the master pages (or add new ones), and page layouts.
    There is no such thing as publishing enabled document library. A document library is not designed to publish web pages. You can have Site Pages library in a team site, but if you are looking to fully brand a site collection, then this is not your answer.
    You will need to use a Publishing Site to fully brand your Internet or Intranet site.
    You can enable the publishing infrastructure on any site that is NOT a publishing site, but this does not turn your provisioned site to a publishing site. It simply turns on publishing features, such as navigation management, master pages/page layouts management,
    publishing workflows, etc....

  • Can I publish iWeb sites and Gallery albums in one place?

    My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo with a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created a multi-page personal website of photos for each of 16 complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction). Now that my beloved Apple has spurned me, I'm hoping to get even, sort of, and post everything--all my photo albums and all my photo websites--in one place. This requires more complexity than I've seen in hunting among suggested replacments for iWeb or Gallery.
    In my drooling ignorance, I can imagine a website that has a few levels. On one level are key photos for all gallery albums PLUS key photos for all websites. A user clicks on the main photo of an album or website, and it opens either an album's photos (the current gallery way) or a site's welcome page.
    As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like Zangzing appears, it and others are limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages.
    Level one shows the key photo for each gallery album AND a key , and has a grand welcome page with linkClick on an album photo and it opens all the album's photos. Click on a website photo, and it opens to s that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." At the next level, each album and each website appears . A Even better would be page links that intersperse albums and websites in chronological order. A user click on the main photo of an album or website and it opens either
    lists albums in, say, five-year clusters an  for --, perhaps one page for lots of links, maybe albums by years and websites by years.
    albums top-level row of albums (like Gallery) with the websites peppered among them. Click on a website photo

    PLEASE IGNORE ANY EARLIER VERSION. IT'S A DRAFT OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTION . . .
    My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo has a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created 16 personal websites of photos of complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction).

    As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like ZangZing seems, it and others seem limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages (far fewer than my 16 iWeb sites). Maybe I could create a grand entrance page that has links that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." But then I'd be burying the albums and sites themselves at lower levels.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Much more PNG files in iWeb site and make it slowly

    I found that iWeb will change some text into PNG files, it cause anyone can not copy the text from my page, and make the page size bigger and slowly.
    And then, I don't know when iWeb will change text into PNG, when it will not. Sometimes when I write some words in the page, and publish, I can see the words are in text format, but when I continue adding words in it and publish again, I found that all the words has been changed into PNG.
    So, when a page loading in Safari, I can see much more image files in my page, but not text+image same as a normal web page.
    All that make the site loading very slowly. I don't like that if iWeb look like this.

    Instead of creating a hyperlink and then choose a file, put the pdf(s) on the server yourself first.
    Create a separate folder for them.
    Then determine the URL(s) to the file(s).
    In iWeb add a hyperlink *to an external page*. Use one of the URLs to the pdfs.
    Now you can update the pdf without iWeb.

  • Previewing iWeb site BEFORE publishing

    Hello, I have a couple questions actually.
    Where are these files and folders kept on the hard drive? When I try to search for the directory iWeb a signs to the site based on what I have titled it it comes up blank and yet in the online directory there it is big as life.
    Second, how does someone go about previewing a site before publishing it?
    Peace,
    Robert

    The web site does not exist until you publish the site. The components that iWeb uses are kept in the Domain.sites2 file located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. That file is critical to your site(s) and should be backed up frequently.
    To preview your site change the location of publication to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser.

  • Two people sharing one iWeb-site and contributing?

    Is there any possiblities in iWeb for me and my brother to create an photoalbum with iWeb and share the same photoalbum from different .mac-accounts?
    Tip me of other solutions if not possible Thnx.

    Not easily without some extra messing around with files behind the scenes.
    Have you tried flickr? http://www.flickr.com Many people swear by this site and, since it's internet based instead of being based on a file in your computer, you can place photos there from multiple users logging into the same account.

  • IWeb Update and publishing errors

    I have just installed the latest iWeb update and now I have a chronic publishing error of which I can not seem to fix? The error message states:
    *+An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/Sites.rss”. Try publishing again later.+*
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have rebooted; reinstalled the updates; download "all to .Mac" and even "downloaded all to folder"...it is when I try publishing directly or via "all to .Mac" that I receive this frustrating error.

    I too am having htis problem. The solution suggested can't be done for me as there is no 'Web' folder on my iDisk. Maybe this is because I set up my account a while ago, before iWeb was introduced. Maybe I need to get in touch with Apple to get them to create a Web folder for me. (I tried myself, but don't have privileges.

  • Can I have someone optimize my iWeb site and then re-import it?

    I hired someone to optimize my iWeb site put the keywords in the Title, Meta and
    place the keywords in the ALT-tags for the images.
    Is it possible to re-import the edited website back into iWeb 08. I've tried dragging it, but it didn't work, I've tried creating a new site but only have the option of themes. Am I missing something that somebody knows about? I really appreciate some input,
    Also, do you know if there is a better way to optimize these sites inside of iWeb or a separate software program I should use?

  • My iweb site and some observations

    here:
    http://web.mac.com/neoverse/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
    I like it but until it supports flash and custom html, I can't really use it for my music site.
    for personal use though, it's exquisite!

    i would just dump the .mac and buy a domain. Bluehost will set you up for $6.95/month..there are plenty of others out there as well. You wouldn't "link" to your .mac address you would publish to a folder in iWeb then copy those files to your new domain (they would be able to tell you where to copy the files to once you purchase it).

  • Iweb site not publishing

    I modified my web site and I am trying to publish it but it will not publish any change. I am not using mobile me but ftp publishing

    Publish your site to a local folder and launch this in the browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the changes are present in this version. If they are then your problem is with FTP.
    Always empty your browser cache after updating and before visiting your published site.
