Shorten url in iWeb

Hello there folks, I have a portfolio about my work as a architectural technologist at http://www.simonenevoldsen.dk. To build up this website I have been using iWeb and comes the problem! I have used the blog version of iWeb and because that when you click at one of my completed assignments I'll see a long and ugly url.
I would like it to go like this www.simonenevoldsen.dk/archtech/4sem/Outline_Proposal but it doesn't!
I sound like instead www.simonenevoldsen.dk/4semester/Optegnelser/2014/10/3_Outline_Proposal
Can you help me using iWeb or an Adobe product like Dreamweaver?
Regards Simon

Can I use a shortened URL on iPhone4s Version 7.1.1?

Can someone please help me! I am trying to pull up a shortened URL on my iPhone 4s Version 7.1.1. It keeps on erroring out. Is there anyway we can use a shortened URL on the iPhone, It works perfectly on My Mac Chrome and Safari. iPad 2 also works, but for some reason it won't on my iPhone 4s.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Is there anyone that can help me with this issue. I really need an answer as soon as possible. I need to figure out why a shortened URL is not working on my version on iphone 4S 7.1.1.
Thank you for all your help!!!

Configuring DAM and Dispatcher - shorten URL

Hello all,
I'm trying to configure CQ DAM with Apache 2.2 and Dispatcher, to serve only assets.
I've successfully configured them, as when I upload a new asset, it automatically replicates in Publish instance and perfom the cache. Thus I can access the new image via:
Author: localhost:4502/content/dam/NEWFOLDER/image.jpg
Publish: localhost:4503/content/dam/NEWFOLDER/image.jpg
Dispatcher: localhost/content/dam/NEWFOLDER/image.jpg
However I would like to use a shorten URL to this image, for example:
localhost/NEWFOLDER/image.jpg
In other words, remove the /content/dam piece from the request URL.
I've checked the following threads:
http://www.wemblog.com/2012/07/how-to-use-dispatcher-with-mapped.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/cq/kb/HowToFlushMappedContent.html
But as far as I understand I don't need to configure the /etc/map in the Publish instance, as I'm only using DAM and configuring mod_rewrite at Apache server would be enough.
So, in the httpd.conf I wrote the following rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /content/dam/$1 [PT]
And Dispatcher.any is the default one.
The point is, when I disable the Dispatcher, I'm able to type the shorten URL and get the image. But this is not happening otherwise, when the Dispatcher is on I get the Not Found error: /image.jpg as it's looking for the image at root directory.
So, any clues on how I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the quick response.
I've followed the instructions but no success. The image has been put corretly onto cache folder on the webserver ([docRoot]/content/dam/FOLDER/image.jpg
But when I try to acces, it doesn't work: http://localhost/FOLDER/image.jpg
Instead, it returns the error below:
No resource found
Cannot serve request to /folder/image.jpg on this server

Shorten Blog URL with iWeb 09?

With iWeb 09 is there an easy way to shorten the auto-generated site structures for blogs, yet?
From -> http://www. domain.com/blog/blog/blog.html
To -> http://www. domain.com/blog
If I publish to a folder and upload only the blog page directory, some navigation links are broken, and there I have to duplicate the blog.html file to rename as index.html. This is tedious for every blog update.

I just wrote an article about this. Check it out!
http://www.ehow.com/how4917516create-shorter-urls-iweb-mobileme.html
Note that the /Sitename/ part of your URL will still be there, unless you do some further tinkering. If you do, unfortunately you'd lose the blog comments feature.
If you don't care about blog/photo comments or RSS feeds, then it's easy enough to remove the /sitename/ part of your URL entirely. Simply open your /sitename/ folder in iDisk, and paste the contents into the parent directory (the "Sites" folder.) Of course, this won't work when you have multiple websites on iDisk.

An easy fix for shortening your url in iWeb

so... after beating my head agasint the keyboard, i figured it out... it's very simple...
I'm assuming you have hosting, etc... so... after you publish your site to a folder on your comptuer, follow these simple steps:
1) inside the folder iWeb creates, there should be another folder with the name of your site (yoursite). This is the only one you need to upload (after we fix something)
2) in the folder (yoursite), there should be 2 .html files... one called index.html and one called (yoursite).html. Open both of these in an html editor.
3) copy everything in (yoursite).html and paste it over everything in the index.html file.
4) inside the index.html file, hit COMMAND F and search for title... it'll look like this <title>YOURSITE</title>... on that line, replace YOURSITE with whatever title you want to appear at the top of the browser window.
5) save the index.html file. delete the (yoursite).html file.
6) upload the files to the root directory on your server.
Done.
Joey

Point 1 is wrong.
iWeb does not create a folder with the sitename inside a folder.
iWeb creates a folder with a sitename. In it are the files and folder which ARE the site.
The CONTENT of that folder you need to copy to the server.
And instead of copy/paste the code from one file to the other, simply delete the index.html file and rename the other file. Point 3 and 5.
And make sure the other files are updated too. Otherwise you get a page not found error.
And there's no need the change the tile. Do it in iWeb itself.
But it's nice to see you waste your time to solve a problem that does not exist. And banging your head on the keyboard in the process.
Here's how I do it :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18228306#18228306
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15333113#15333113
BTW, My solution requires iWeb 3.0. Keeping up with progress.

How to shorten URL of Sender Http adapter?

Hi,
in a HTTP-BPM-R3 scenario I have given the below adress to a 3rd party application which is goiing to trigger BPM:
http://<server>:<ABAP-port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry&version=3.0&Sender.Service=<YourService>&Interface=<YourNamespace>%5E<YourInterface>&sap-user=XXXX&sap-password=XXXX&QualityOfService=ExactlyOnce
However they say that their tools doesnt allow to enter more than 127 char as URL. So they asked me to shorten it. Is it possible?
Of course I can shorten ns,interface, user, pass length (and by using synch interface the last part can be chopped off) but I wonder how to get rid of "&version=3.0" or user/password for a specific interface. Or is there any other solution inside PI like in ICM or somewhere defining a URL mapping/routing and converting a tiny URL to URL above?
PI: nw2004s SP20.
Any help will be appreciated...
Best Regards,
Edited by: FIT CONSULTANT on Jul 17, 2010 9:31 AM

Thanks guys,
My problem is not resolved (I did not try the dispatch configuration) I shortened the URL by shortening the namespace. Now I have a different problem thread:

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

How do I change a page url in iWeb

Hi guys,
I used to have subwebs in iWeb to order different pages. Now I'm publishing via Fetch to a new hoster, I find that some of the pages have retained the old sub web url, e.g. www.mydomain.com/subweb/page.
I physically dragged all the pages into the top level mydomain.com folder in iweb, but I'm suspecting that becuase i can't now publish to mobileme, its not changing the url; certainly all the pages are showing red in the iweb (08) directory.
Is there anyway I can edit the page url to remove the subweb address. If I do it physically in Safari, the link then works, but that s a pain.
Thanks
Al

I think you may mean sub site and folder name. A sub domain is a different thing and has a URL something like ...
http://sub-domain-name.domain-name.com
Whereas you probably have ....
http://www.domain-name/site-name/page-name.html
See this page for how to remove the folder name...

Can we Shorten URL in Forms 10g

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to shorten the URL
http://192.168.9.189:8889/forms/frmservlet to
something shorter ?

An aliasmatch would not be what you want as it would point to a physical directory on your application server:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#aliasmatch
A redirectmatch would be more likely:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectmatch
or as Prabodh already told you mod_rewrite also has some things you should consider:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html
cheers

Shortening URL help

So I have searched for info on how to do this and have followed the steps:
1. Copy iWeb site to Folder
2. Upload just the files from the "My Site" folder to FTP site for hosting
3. Site should be www.url.com/MySite
My site is hosted on GoDaddy. I have downloaded two FTP tools, iWeb SEO and Cyberduck.
I have attempted NUMEROUS uploads of the site and still come up with the URL being www.url.com/mysite/mysite.
*EDIT* Now, it has www.url.com/mysite/mysite/mysite.html. What's going on?
I've followed the directions so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, using iWeb, I wasn't able to access my site at all and got a 403 Forbidden message.
Any tips would be helpful.

User Cyberduck to connect to your server and delete all the files that have already been published there - this is where the confusion arises. Delete everything and start again.
1. Publish your site from iWeb to a local folder and what you will get is a site folder with the same name as you gave you site within iWeb. You will also get a separate index.html file and an assets.plist file.
2. Open Cyberduck and enter your ftp details, plus your username and password and click on connect and you should then get a connection to your server.
3. Click on the little drop down menu under Actions in Cyberduck and click on upload and then you should see the files listed on your desktop. Select your site folder from there - with the same name as your website. Click on it once to select it and then click select all and you will then see that the contents of the folder have been selected. Once this happens, click on upload and ONLY the contents of your site folder will be uploaded to your server.
Once everything has been uploaded your url should then be http://www.domain.com/page name.html and this has eliminated the site name by just uploading the contents rather than the whole site folder.
You don't need the separate index file in this case as there is an index file inside the site folder and if you are only uploading the contents then you don't need the other one.
It is very easy to do, but you just need to delete what is there now and start over with a clean slate.

Change URL in iWeb?

I threw together a site over the weekend in iWeb that would be just fine for my small business needs at this time. However - the URL is too complicated to give out to clients. Is there a way to set up an alias for the iWeb URL (as well as a .mac email address for that matter)? Ideally, I would love for someone to click onto "www.x.com" and be directed to my iWeb site.

However - the URL is too complicated to
give out to clients.
Isn't it just
web.mac.com/username/iWeb
and the email is [email protected]
It's hard to get much simpler than those.
I would love for
someone to click onto "www.x.com" and be directed
to
my iWeb site.
The way to do that is to rent the domain name x.com
from one of the many companies that does such things
and then redirect it to your .mac url. Also if you
want to use short urls there is a service called tiny
url
http://tinyurl.com/
Whilst I agree with the method as a possibility
"The way to do that is to rent the domain name x.com from one of the many companies that does such things and then redirect it to your .mac url."
Isnt the whole idea of iWeb to make web design simpler. I have a small business and would seriously look at Macs if I could do my own web design. I am put of if I cannot use my company URL and for emails to go to that URL at [email protected] writing the URL reinforces in the customers mind the company presence. I am supprised it is not possible to use iWeb alone to do this work. I also have a problem with ISP Servers when using Filemaker databases. You are almost there as a service provider, what is holding Apple back from what seems from the outside as a terrif opportunuity to expand into smal business sales?

Site Name VS. Webpage URL in iWeb'09 - PLEASE HELP!

I have a website I created and have been trying to publish via iWeb on my FTP server.
It tests fine, and since I've tested publishing it with other free site builders. I am positive it works fine on the justHost.com (my host) side of my FTP Server settings and that all my username and password info is correct. In fact, I can see the issue but don't know how to get around it.
When I type my website name in *Site name* in the *Site Publishing Settings* (ie; Site name: www.mywebsite.com), and then I type in the REQUIED *Website URL* (ie: http://www.mywebsite.com) it adds them both together when publishing to the site "http://www.mywebsite.com/www.mywebsite.com" and it says so in the popup window here...
This is how the iWeb tutorial video explains doing it.
I've tried to add other things into the *Site name* area, maily variations of my website. It still won't work. When I tried not to type anything in site name it gave me this pop-up...
What am I doing wrong!
Why can't I just Publish it to "www.mywebsite.com".

This is just how iWeb works and it is part of the iWeb site structure to publish in this way.
You can change your site name to something shorter like Site or just S or a shorter version of your domain name so that you don't get the double domain name and your url will then be http://www.domain.com/Site/pagename.
Some have suggested that if you are using the built in ftp of 09 that you name your site public_html or www or htdocs or whatever file your host requires you to upload to and then leave the path/directory name empty - this may mean that you site folder contents will just be uploaded.
I have never tried this, but prefer to publish to a folder instead and then use Cyberduck to upload the contents of my Site folder rather than the whole folder itself and you then get the url http://www.domain.com/pagename. However, be warned that if you need the RSS feed to work then it won't if you use this method.

Using different URL with iweb

I was wondering if I could use iweb to set up a web site, but I want the address to be just a basic ".com" address. (without the .mac// stuff)
Can I do this with a .mac account, or do I need to use a different web hosting company?

Shorten URLs

I have an URL that is fairly lengthy. It goes like this subdomain.mysite.com/2012/Month/page-name - Is there a way to reduce the URL that is visible from that length to subdomain.mysite.com/page-name (assuming the the page-name is not a duplicate of another page name) ?
Note: I could use re-directs to have a short URL then re-direct to the long URL but I want the short URL to be the one that remains visible. Also the path of the URL is that long so I can keep the pages organized in some manner.
