New dedug for iweb

A tip to all whom want to see the code and see iweb1.2 in a different browser.
hope it helps.
On Safari one of it's best features is a hidden menu called Debug.Oh Why apple hides this i don't really know?.
To activate this menu, Shut down Safari and then launch Terminal from your Applications in /Applications/Utilities/ and type in the following
(after it says Welcome to darwin)
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMeni 1.
when you quit Terminal and restart Safari you will see that you get a new menu that includes Debug(at the end of the menu bar).
this should some help for people looking at HTMLs and seeing different browsers and you can also see what websites are build on (ie iweb, golive,dreamweaver)
hope someone has some more tips to use this.
question at long last can/would this be used to code iweb.1.2?meta?.
Cheers

Can you use this to code iweb?
No.
The useful thing in Safari Debug menu is Show JavaScript Console.
Since iWeb generated pages with associated CSS and JS, it is very useful to debug or develop JavaScript; I use that and AppleScript Editor to develop/debug most of iWeb stuffs.

what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

Thanks for the reply that there will be 3rd party support.
One of the main reasons why I went from PC to Mac was because of all these cool features.
Am dissapointed to see them leave. ( Iweb, Photogallery, Idisk... )

New Templates for iWeb?

Hello~
Does anyone know if there are additional templates to use for iWeb? If so, where can I find them and add them to my current library of templates that came with iWeb?
Thank you.

There are several 3rd party templates. Just do a Google search for "iWeb templates" and you'll get numerous hits for the sites.

Tips for signing up with a new host for iWeb

I'm probably going to go with GoDaddy since I have my domain with them. I am expecting a salescall from them to set up the transfer next week-might as well go to the end of June with Mobile Me.
What's the most I need to buy for hosting one simple website that has worked perfectly well with iWeb? I don't want to buy anything extra that I don't need thru them. I see SSL for an additional $69 but I never used it before and doubt I'Il need it now. Don't really know what it is!
When I look at the iDisk storage space on iWeb, it says I have used 73.7MB of space, so it's not a big site, if that helps.
Thanks.

I just did this today with Machighway and am very happy. It was super-easy to publish my site directly using iweb, and it looks great. They provide very clear, user-friendly instructions tailored for iweb users, and I had no error messages or any sort of problems at all with the process. Everything in iweb displays perfectly, and I can't tell the difference between that and Mobileme. Seamless.
The price was very good, less than $40 per year to host my site plus I get a few email addresses. This is less than half the cost of Mobileme. They have 24-7 phone support and they speak perfect English (I called the with a question before signing up).
Contrast that with two other services I tried yesterday. First, Macmate. This is a UK company that does not have phone support after-hours (I tried calling them last night at 10PM, no luck). You have to download a program onto your computer to use it. After you install the program, its asks you for a password. I typed in the password I set up when I signed up for the service, but it didn't work. I emailed tech support and the next day they told me they had reset my password "to the one you used when you signed up". I tried it again, still didn't work. I asked them for a refund, and they immediately issued one, no questions asked.
My domain name was already registered at Namecheap.com, so I decided to give them a try. Huge mistake. I could not connect to their server using FTP in iweb. Nothing but error messages. They have no phone support, and if you try to use live chat you get someone who cannot type a sentence in English. I swear one of their instructions was "Please provide me with the * in case they are". They waited a full five minutes to respond every time I typed something. After two hours of following their instructions doing something called "traceroute" in terminal, I decided to try to get my money back. They are being resistant, so it looks like I am going to have to eat the annual fee which was $47.
Of the three hosting services I tried, Machighway was the cheapest, the most user-friendly, had the best support, clear instructions specifically for iweb users, and, best of all, it worked. Highly recommend.

New URL for PieroF FCE Effects

Since a few days ago, the site where I make some FCE and FCP plugins available for free, has changed its URL. The new URL is:
http://web.mac.com/piero.fiorani/PieroFFCEEffect/Welcome.html
You can still access all my plugins, either from the Welcome page or after you change each "%20" char into "_" in their URL, AND remove "iWeb/" from the URL.
Note. That's correct: the site has changed its URL... I did not change its URL ! This seems a new feature for iWeb (in iLife 08) which maps "blank" characters in the web page names into "_" and not "%20". While I personally like this solution, I didn't like the automatic renaming of all my pages (without warning or request for confirmation) since this made them immediately unavailable to whoever knew the old name...
In any case let me know if you still have problems accessing those plugins.
Sorry...
Piero
Thanks Tom: in fact redirection works, but to the Welcome page only.

Thanks for letting us Piero. The old link still works though. You just get redirected to the new URL name.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all its folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.

You need the 'Domain' file in which iWeb keeps its data. This lives by default in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb. You need to locate it on the old machine and copy it to the same position in the new machine. Note that it is the Library folder in your Home folder, not the one at root level.
This folder is hidden on Lion and above; to access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice. In Mavericks you can make it permanently visible - open your Home Folder the from the Finder's View menu, choose show View Options and check Show User Library.

Using 'Multisite for iWeb' and the new iWeb 09

I use multisite for iWeb by Clarkwood software to publish multiple sites I have designed with iWeb. Now that the NEW iWEB 09 has the essentially same ability (to upload/manage multiple iWeb sites) I was wondering if anyone else is using 'Multisite for iWeb' and has ran into any problems when upgrading?
Thanks!
-JKP

With the disastrous introduction of iWeb '08, I rebuilt all my websites on new, blank domain files.
I have 26 sites with each domain file in a separate folder. These are kept in a in a folder - iWeb - in a second dock.
I can launch any site with two mouse clicks - far quicker than launching Multisite or iWebsites.
I have dealt with many instances of domain file corruption in this forum and it doesn't seem to matter which method is used - splitting domain files, iWebsites or Multisite.
I followed the advice of Cyclosaurus and Suzanne of 11 Mystics and have had no problems at all.
I'm not throwing any accusations at any of the above methods of handling multiple domains - I'm just not prepared to risk using them.

Is Apple about to introduce a replacement for iWeb?? and where can I download iWeb to replace the one I lost??

Having spent a little time searching for a replacement download for iWeb (details of why below) it seems that I cannot find it anywhere in Apple Land. From my limited experience here (iphone, macbook pro, airport extreme and airport express) it looks like Apple gradually withdraws stuff prior to introducing something really exciting to replace it.
So
Question:   Is there a new super replacement for iWeb about to be introduced?
I cannot believe that Apple would take away something as great as iWeb (having read reviews and used it myself as a complete web novice) without giving us something better.
I foolishly followed some genius advice and did a wipe/reload of Lion, prior to updating to Mountain Lion (my fault, I thought my lovely Macbook Pro was running a little slow - probably wasnt - just me being impatient.) Anyway, long story short, I lost iphoto (got it back by re-purchasing but would like a refund - another string running with this),   iWeb - can't find it anywhere - asked questions here in Apple Land and am getting some conflicting answers.
I am sat in London without my iweb for a some days and would really like to get on with a bit of web stuff.
Question: is there anywhere in Apple Land where I can download iWeb
Question: can you confirm that the iweb programme will be on one of the disks that came with the machine?   (they are 100 miles away so I will have to wait, unless there is an easier way)
Sorry, rambling a bit.
Hope you can help out there
Thanks
Steve

The iWeb application was specifically created to be used with .Mac and then MobileMe and Apple withdrew support for iWeb several months ago, when it was announced that MobileMe would be no longer and would be replaced by iCloud. MobileMe ceased at the end of June this year and has been replaced by iCloud, that does not offer web hosting, so no need for iWeb.
Apple stopped selling iWeb in its stores several months ago and has withdrawn support for iWeb, so no, you won't find either iWeb or iDVD for sale in the Mac App Store because Apple no longer sells it.
You cannot download iWeb, so if you want iWeb, you will have to purchase the iLife 11 boxed set from Amazon and this contains iWeb 09 which is the latest version of iWeb. Apple does not sell this either.
If your Mac was running Snow Leopard, then it would have come with installation CD's, so yes, you should be able to re-load the whole of the iLife series, which includes iWeb, iDVD and iPhoto back onto your Mac running Mountain Lion. You did not need to make an additional purcahse of iPhoto from the Mac App Store - you could have re-loaded from these CD's. The only place you will get a refund is by contacting the Mac App Store. Nobody here can help you with that.
So if you want iWeb back, check to see if it is on you installation CD's - it should be if you have a Mac running Snow Leopard and put it back on your Mac from there. If not, then your only option is to purchase the iLife 11 boxed set from Amazon and you can load iWeb from there.
As Apple no longer supports iWeb and there is no MobileMe any longer, then there are unikely to be any further updates to the programme and nothing else will come along. You can still use the app though if you have it and it works with Mountain Lion, however, there may come a time when it won't work with future iOS updates, so it would pay you to look at the alternatives out there which are many and varied. Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4 etc. You can download free trials of most and some are for sale in the Mac App Store.
Also, please be advised that this is a user to user forum and everyone here who replies to you is a user, so you are not talking directly to Apple here.

How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe. I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar. How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!! I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

Is there a maximum website size for iWeb?

iWeb looked like the answer to my dreams. I needed to put together a website for my consulting business fast…I have another book coming out in a week or two.
I tried on of those sites where you use their development tools on-line. Big disappointment. Too restricted and wouldn't allow me to be creative. Then I looked at spending $400 (or whatever) for DreamWeaver and go through a long learning curve learning html.
Then I saw the ad for iWeb. Just what I needed. Mac software. Intuitive to use. A snap to learn. But I am now having problems publishing my iWeb created web-site to my domain. I am not using a .Mac account. The book already has my website listed as bobwallonline.com. Too late to change.
My Domain size, as measured in Application support, iWeb, is now at 8.7 MB on disk. I am exceeding iWeb's limitations or is the problem to be found with ftp software I'm using to publish my site. (I'm using Web Echo and have had nothing but trouble with it since I got started.)
So frustrating. I've got the tool that allows me to create just what I had in mind but I can't seem to publish it. Would a Macintosh support person please answer this so that I have a definitive answer as to whether or not I am exceeding iWeb's capabities? Thanks, Bob in Connecticut

Bob, I also believe that one of the main issues hindering your work is that you have an older computer with very little memory. On another note you should enter your web host via the internet. Log on to your hosting service and delete what ever files are in there. Take your iweb site and save it to a new folder on your desktop. This will put all your files neatly in one location. then use your ftp software to connect to your host and upload your site to the server. Once uploaded make sure your index page shows and your folder. It should work fine after that. If you like to download new FTP software try Interarchy 8.2 it's the one i'm using and it's pretty fast. I got it from the Apple website on their Mac OSX link. Once there go to the downloads Link and on the side bar look for the internet utilities link.
Hope that helps and good luck.

Making a new website for another user

Hi all,
How can I make a completely new website for someone else without publishing my own pages to a map? Do I just delete my pages from the published material or does my index page go beserk when I do that?
Thanks for your input!

By MMe I'm referring to a MobileMe account thru Apple. As I recall that's normal for iWeb 2 when you have multiple sites in one domain file. If you're running the latest iWeb 2, 2.0.4, you can split the sites into two domain files. That way you can open, edit and publish only the site you want.
I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual sites. 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. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and jthen only republish the one I want.

How can I add new background on iweb?

Dear all,
somebody knows how can I add new backgroungs on iweb? and also how can I add my own themes?
Cheers

You can add new backgrounds in the "page"..."layout" section of the "inspector"...no limit to what you can add. Remember to use low resolution pics (72 dpi vs 300 dpi) and think of the size necessary for a "wallpaper" on your desktop. ex. http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home.html done with a Jumsoft theme (baseball dark) as a core.
The file used as a background on that site is located at http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home_files/grunge.jpg
It's dimensions are 1200px by 797px and 284k in file size. I guess there might be a reason to have the width set for 1200px even though file sizes could benefit from a smaller dimension repeating graphic, but running the file through Photoshop or even Elements would let the owner "Save For Web" as a .jpg - medium quality and get the file size down to about 108k so that the page would load quite a bit faster.

Is support for iWeb going away with MobileMe?

Is online support going away for iWeb? Do I need to go with a third party server now that MobileMe is dead? What server is the least obtrusive?

What version of iWeb were you using? V2 let you publish to MobileMe or a folder on the Dekstop (where it coulb be uploaded to an ftp server) and V3 had options for publishing directly to MMe, an ftp server or a folder on the Desktop.
That being said it is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. 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
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
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.
I would imagine that iWeb and iDVD will be dropped from future boxed versions of iLife if there are boxed versions. However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that would include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.

Seeking simplest replacement for iWeb family website

OK, with MobileMe about to bite the dust I am seeking the simplest, free (or lowest cost) replacement for iWeb that offers the following:
1. Ability to create web pages for major family events (wedding, births, etc.).
2. Ability to use our purchased domain name to name the site.
3. Ability to link to our genealogy site and other web info.
4. Tight integration with iPhones - to import new photos and pages.
Basically, our website is an online scrapbook. I don't really want a blog to tell the world about all our recent activities; I just want a place that mainly offers photo albums and maybe some written content. I'm not interested in Facebook because I want to be able to have the site separate from Facebook.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I can't see why anybody would want to pay this (or any) amount for a simple transfer. In any case, nearly all the files in a MobileMe account should be first downloaded to your Mac since most of us used it for more than just website hosting.
Unless you have a very basic site, you will have folders of assets outside of the main website folder. These need to be uploaded to the root folder on the new server and the URLs to them need to be changed in iWeb. Anybody who doesn't take the time to learn basic FTP and the server file structure is going to have even more problems with this part of the operation!
The actual files produced by iWeb don't need to be moved anyway since its just a question of publishing to the new hosting account using one of the methods shown here...

The first two companies mentioned on this page will move the files for free for new customers...
