Publishing single pages in iWeb

If I publish to a folder in iWeb 2, prior to uploading via ftp, it looks like I have to publish the whole site even if I've only updated one page. Is there a way to merely publish to updates page(s) only?
Thanks

It really depends on what you updated and if you know anything about the page and site structure.
Unless you know what assets have been changed in, or added to, the page folder, you should upload this along with the the html file and the feed.xml. Messing with this sort of thing is not advisable and you may end up having to re upload all the files anyway!
A far more sensible way is to use an optimizer app to process the files. After the first pass, it will be able to determine which files have been modified on subsequent updates. Choose one with upload facilities.

Of the ones shown on the above page, WebCrusher is probably the easiest to setup while HTML-Optimizer plus is the most economical if you only have one or two sites and want built in FTP.

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

Publishing new pages on IWEB

I have created a website and its all worked fine and I have published it to the web. However, when I added new pages and deleted a page in IWEB and went to re-publish the site, the new pages haven't published.
Does anyone know how to get the new added pages published onto the live site?
HELP!!
Thanks

First, after you upload changes to your site make sure you empty the browser cache before visiting the site.
If you have done this then the question is - where are you publishing your website and how are you uploading the files - iWeb FTP or another FTP application?

Publishing Dreamweaver page through iWeb?

Thanks

How do you publish your own HTML with iDisk?
You just stick it in iDisk/Sites and use the url

My iWeb always publish every pages... Why ?

I made a second iWeb site recently, and it appears that everytime i publish on .Mac, it takes very long time; when I look at the files that are uploaded to .Mac Servers, I see every single file of my two sites, even the unmodified pages !!
I'm pretty convinced that it is not the normal way of publishing for iWeb...
I thought that "blue pages" , that means unmodified pages, was not uploaded, but only the red pages (modified pages).
Does someone have the same problem ?
What can I do to speed up my iWeb publishing ?

I am having the same problem and as someone who has made a living designing and updating pages Apple's way of "managing" web publishing is obtuse at best.
I currently have three "sites" in my iWeb site organizer. If I simply want to make a single web page with a movie on it for my friends to view, I create a new site, make the movie page, and then try and publish this page (as iWeb sees it a "site") to a folder it publishes every page of every other site to that folder. This does not change when you hold down the option key.
I am either missing something or Apple is a bit daft in its grasp of how people might find use for their web page software. I like the templates and ease with which you can integrate of all your Mac generated media - but I do not see a simple solution for making a "one off" page.

Can iWeb09 update single pages without publishing the whole site?

Does iWeb 09 have the ability to just update 1 single page without having the need to publish the whole website?
Thank you

Really? I've been using iWeb and MobileMe for as long as iWeb has been out, and can't find any option to publish individual pages rather than full sites.
iWeb '09 does clearly introduce the option to publish a single site or all sites, but as for a single page within that site -- when other pages in the same site may have also changed but you don't want to (re)publish them yet -- that capability eludes me. I'm not at my proper system at the moment, however, and am am just writing from memory.
Can you clarify, Roddy?

Can you publish a single page at a time?

Busy creating my own website and gradually adding a new page each night, but every time I publish iWeb publish's the whole site (or attempts too- keep getting publish error message). Is there a way we can publish one page at a time? If for example I want to edit a single page, does it mean I have to go through the whole publishing thing all over again for hours?
help much appreciated.
Cheerio.

It's all or nothing with iWeb. Even after correcting a typo in a single word, publishing will upload everything. Well, that's not exactly accurate. That's definitely what happens when publishing to a local folder, but it seems that iWeb/.Mac are intelligent enough to distinguish between old and new material. Even allowing for this, though, publishing will be far from instantaneous.

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb. iweb crashes every time I try to publish

First do the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Published iWebsite pages turn red when scrolling pages in iWeb

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if I'm the only person who has this issue; when I publish my iweb sites and pages (to MobileMe) all goes well, but when I then scroll my page up and down in iWeb the site turns red again as if I have changed its content.
I've tried the usual stuff (deleted caches, prefs, logged into MM under a bogus username and password) to check if the problem is a MM issue but this also occurs when I publish to a folder...
I've repaired disk permissions and did a fresh install of OS X (10.6.7) two weeks ago.
Does anyone have any other suggestions which might solve this issue? Or perhaps even the same problem?
cheers,
koen

Brilliant OT!
Although immediately posting to the discussions group says something about my personal opinion on the reliability of iWeb ... the problem was caused as you expected; the double digit finger action.
So 'no swiping in iWeb' I suppose.
The 'turning red' of published site pages was 100% reproducible by scrolling down using my trackpad, but it doesn't happen when I use my mighty mouse or the arrow buttons/scroll bar thing. (Even although nothing was selected in iWeb, bit of a bug if you'd ask me)
Thanks again for pointing out the logical and to me not so obvious
cheers,
koen

IWeb wont publish updated pages to site using Mobileme

Tried to publish 2 updated pages to my current iWeb site published on Mobileme. Am directed through a Facebook username and password login. (Don't remember this step from prior publishing.) Then nothing happens. No site update. No option to publish site available within iWeb. And no way I see to save my changes made in iWeb before I exit the program to try to figure out. I have lost work twice. What is happening and how do I correct the trouble?

You must have checked the box next to "Update my Facebook profile when I publish this site."
Click the site name at the top of the left column in iWeb to get to the Publishing Settings page to change this.

Publishing Third Party Generated Pages with iWeb to .Mac

I'm considering using KavaTunes to publish my iTunes library. Looks like a great app. But, I'm a little confused. I'm using iWeb to publish my site to .Mac now. How do I use KavaTunes with iWeb. I can use iWeb to publish to a folder. But, Apple doesn't give instructions for how to publish out to an iWeb created site on .Mac using FTP.
I find this to be an issue with any third party app that generates web pages with images, etc. How do I get those loaded up to my .Mac site generated with iWeb?
Thanks,
Brian

dotMac doesn't use FTP.
You create your 3rd party pages and copy them to iDisk>Web>Sites folder.
Put them in a folder of their own. In iWeb create a link to these pages.
KavaTunes no doubt has a Help file that tells you how to publish pages. Start learning to use the program and stay away from iWeb for a while. No need to double the problems.
BTW, you need PHP on the server side. dotMac has no PHP.

By publishing page in iweb how do I get the accents to appear correctly in the Portuguese language?

Your server is telling all browsers that the page is encoded as Latin-1. Instead it must tell them it is UTF-8. Ask them to fix this for your account.

Having a song play thru an entire site in iWeb 08 versus single page

I like the feature of being able to add a song to my iWeb 08 website.. but what doesn't work well is that the song is only on one page. When someone clicks on a subpage link the song stops.
Is there a way to have the song play thru the entire website no matter what page is surfed? And why not? That seems like a simple feature that all the other web programs have. If i edit the site in Dreamweaver and make that happen using frames... the site is no longer editable in iWeb.

Ok... the code you supply on your site doesn't work with a .Mac account...
Hi James,
I'm sure we gonna have this solved...
I went through the process myself and tried it on my .Mac trial account (fortunately I have a trial account!)...
http://web.mac.com/whateveridontcare/Welcome/Music.html
It works for me... The only thing that might happen is that the music needs some time to start (you can see that in the time progress bar of the player (there's a brighter thing that shows it is loading)
Question:
1. Did you put the music into this location?
For .Mac go to the Finder menu and select Go/iDisk/My iDisk/ or hit SchiftCommand(Apple)i and then go to /Web/Sites/. Drop your file into the "Sites" folder or create a folder you call 'Music'
Entering: http://web.mac.com/username/filename.mp3 or http://web.mac.com/username/Music/filename.mp3 in your browser should bring up this file.
2. Sure you published the page? I don't think the problem lies in the code of the player if the url isn't working. Seems like it isn't up. Sure you put the right URL here?
Regards,
Cédric
