Path control regarding FTP-publishing

Hi,
I want to publish a website created with iWeb (version 3.0.4) and have some trouble eliminating the paths generated
by naming the website in iWeb.
Let's say my website is example.com and I have created 2 pages for this website called
page1.html and page2.html
I'd like the URLs for these pages to be example.com/page1.html and example.com/page2.html
but unfortunately iWeb inserts another path when publishing; the URLs come out as e.g.
example.com/file/page1.html or example.com/websitename/page1.hml (websitename depending
on how I call the website/project in the publication settings in iWeb)
Ist there a way to eliminate this additional path and hence to create the direct example.com/page1.html
that I'm looking for?
Thank you for your help.

Discussed thousands of times in this forum. Here's my solution :

How to force the File Path Control Browser button to the RT Target instead of the host machine?

I am building an application on a RT PXI system, and for one of the functions I would like the user to be able to use the browser button of the File Path Control to choose a directory on the PXI. However the browser button seems to only want open a file on the host PC, even though the application is fully deployed on the target. Note that I am controlling the PXI from a host PC.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is not a VI to do this. Are you browsing to these files from your host VI? In order to access the files on your PXI RT target, you'll need to FTP in and browse to them that way. You could programmatically do this, but there is not a simple VI to do so.

Something similar to browse path control, but not quite

Hi all,
in my VI there is a 2D listbox. When I click on a line, in a subpanel a VI is loaded and data from listbox is written into controls in this subpanel. The VI in the subpanel then is finished.
A "browse path" control in the subpanel can be pressed, a new window is opened and I can choose a path, even though the subpanel VI is not running.
Is there an option to have a custom control, where I can open e.g. a new VI when a button is pressed? XControls don't seem to work or I am too stupid.
Thx in advance

Hi Tesla,
customize a boolean button to show the same image as the browse button of the path control. Then you can call your own subVI when that button is pressed…

File path control - browse button colour/color

I can't change the colour of the browse button on a file path control. I'm using LV 8.5, but I think I have the same problem on 7.1
Is the only way to change the colour to customise the control? Every other part of it seems to take colours from the tools palette.
Thanks for any pearls of wisdom.
Jon.

I am able to change the path browse button color in 8.51 are you trying to change the button color or the color of the folder on the button. To change the buttoin color use the paint tool and make sure you hit the space bar so you are painting the left color (Background color I cant remember which is which). This probably doesnt work on system buttons.

"File Path Control" default Value

Hi - How do we set or change the default value for "File Path Control" (Control --> String & Path ---> File Path Control)?
I typed the default path into the control field on the front pannel and save the VI file. The value gone when I reopen the file.

[...] difference between Not a path and Empty path... Why?
Not a Path is a specific value for the path (<Not a Path>).
Developers should use this to prevent situations in applications, where a user has to select a path before performing an action (e.g. saving a file). If the user skips the path selection, the application still has "Not a Path" and can prevent errors and tell the user to select the path (error handling!).

File Path Control question

Simple question: How do I invoke the Open command in the File Path control? My reason is of my user hasn't supplied a file, then I want to force the user to select one.
Solved!

Most file related vi should prompt if there is no file path. If for some reason you are not getting that you could check to see if the file path is empty and add a prompt see below:

File path control-how to avoid the user to change the path string

Hi all,
I'm using "File path control" to chose file name. I don't want the user to write the path in the control directly (by typing) but only to choose the file via the button on the right.
I can implement this behaviour with path indicator and button of course. But I belieave that it can be done more elegant - only disable the part with the string - not the whole "File path control". But how? I tried to customize the control but not success.
Is it possible?

The way I've done it is to make the path part of the control tiny and hide it behind a string indicator. Then whenever the path control changes value (by pressing the Browse button), I populate the string indicator with the path value. Here's a sample VI demonstrating this method, saved in LabVIEW 8.0.
Hope this helps,

File path control: invoke file browser activation

Hi there,
on the front panel of a vi I want a file path control to open automatically the file browser window when the user clicks into the path control. Is there any way to do that programmatically after the mouse down event has been fired? I couldn't find a suitable method so far.
Thanks for any hint,
Peter
Solved!

I should point out that the mechanism you (I am referring to the OP) are proposing is counter-intuitive. Web browsers have started to do this, but they do it claiming security issues. Frankly, I think the security concern is small compared to the annoying change in normal behavior, but that's my just my opinion - I can't change the way Firefox or IE works.
Do you not have the Browse button visible for the control? Clicking this displays a file browser. This is normal and expected behavior.

Full path in Sender FTP file

Hi,
It's necessary to indicate full path in sender FTP file?
I've tried with relative path and patter file* and communication channel monitor returns the error:
Could not process file 'file_000018_sdidis_080109_095115_319_J': com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 sal: No such file or directory
It seems to recognize the file to process but it doesn't work.
There is any way to indicate relative path of file sender scenario ?
Thanks, in advance,
Carme

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.

Send path control or reference to path control to sub vi

Hello! I have a question of how to build correct labview structure. I have a path control in my main vi and want to check if it is correct in a sub vi. If not correct, ask the user for a correct one in the sub vi. I see two different options of how to do it and I think no one is realy good.
1. Draw a wire from the path control to the input of the subvi. The answer from the sub vi is connected to a local of the path control. This uses locals that I should not use.
2. Draw a reference from the path control to the input of the sub vi. In the sub vi change the value of the reference if path is not correct. No output is needed. Using reference you do not see where variables changes.
How should I solve a problem like
this?
Please help me!

Local variables are fine. Don't worry about using them.

FTP Publishing currently failing

Some months back I created a website for a friend who wanted a new site for his business. His site was already with Mr. Site who supported FTP publishing, so I created his new site and transferred it to his new one, effectively replacing it. Great! Worked like a dream! By all means take a look!
http://www.nickmarshallmake-up.com
About two weeks ago I attempted to update the new site and the update has failed. When publishing the site, iWeb "Prepares the Files for Publishing" and always crashes on the last page (no matter what the last page is, as I rearranged them to test it out). iWeb didn't even get to the stage where it uploaded anything to the website. I looked at the website online and noticed that there are now some media crashes present (music shortened and artwork is suddenly missing and cropped) and I'm enraged that I cannot actually effect any changes.
I can publish the site to a local folder with no problem whatsoever, but iWeb ALWAYS crashes when preparing files for publishing via the FTP protocols!
Help please?

This doesn't help you but I am experiencing exactly the same issue, using FTP publishing.

Path control dialog on FP

How do make my path control pop-up say "Open File" instead of "Save File". My path control dialog always opens with a dialog titled "Save As" in the pop window title. When the user clicks on the path control browse button I would like the title on the pop window to say Open File. My path control is not wired to anything I use a reference to read its value and send the path to an external application.
I notice if I wire the open-file vi to my path control the pop-up will show "Open File" but wiring the path control is not necessary in my app.
Thank ahead of time for responding
Rich J

OK, I can answer my own question. I put a File open vi on block diagram, create a file open control and replaced my path control (Save file) with the File open control. walla

Pleased with upgrade even just for single site FTP publishing

I liked iWeb 08 a lot, but found the publishing of EVERYTHING really cumbersome. So I decided to take a chance and upgrade to iWeb 09 and it seems perfect for the sorts of things I am doing now. I love the fact that I can select one site and then have it FTP publish to just the directory I want at my hostgator ISP (I don't use Mobile Me).
It seems to work just fine, and is a great time saver of the way publishing was done in iWeb 08. Just this feature was worth the upgrade to me.
doug

I'm thinking about this as well. My work-around for iWeb'08 was to create a copy of my original .sites2 file with all the sites, rename the file to xxx.sites2, open it and delete all but 1 site in iWeb. Repeat with all the sites, and then you have a bunch of files each with only 1 site. Create an alias for each file and you have more or less the same thing.

2 Things: Safari Bookmarking + FTP Publishing

Sounds like a stupid question but does anyone know how to
bookmark a specific topic using safari when using a Flash skin??
I'm 85% sure this cannot be done.
Also, is anyone else experience slow ftp publishing times?
I'm publishing to a win2003 via ftp and it take 2 minutes to
publish. Is there some way to tweek server 2003 to speed this up?
Any alternative ftp solutions? I'll have to revert to publishing
via a shared network if I don't get this solved.
I'm using rh6.

1. It wont allow me to upload the movie clip that i
have made - in .mov format.
It says that the name is not allowed - so i have
tried renaming it to all sorts of things and nothing
works - it says forbidden. Does anyone have any idea
what this means?
Many servers do not accept names with spaces in them, and some might require lower-case letters and no special characters.
2. I have made 2 pages that should have RSS feeds.
There are XML pages uploaded to the server, but when
you try to subscribe on the site it says that it kind
find any RSS information on the server.
You broke the site structure created by iWeb by failing to upload the folder with the same name as your site has inside iWeb, namely the folder called Northstars. Instead you uploaded the contents of this folder. Always upload that folder plus the index.html file published alongside it.
