Trouble editing published webpages

Hi,
I just published my website to the internet through Dreamhost (not .mac) and I'm wondering how I can edit individual pages already published to my server without having to re-publish my entire website to my hard drive every single time I make a update my site.
Okay, so here is the current procedure:
1) Change a few lines of text and add a few new pictures on a page on my website in iWeb (let’s say the “latest news” webpage for example).
2) “Publish” the entire website to a folder on my hard drive. (Now I have two published websites by the same name in different folders on my hard drive that are only slightly different).
3) Open up cyberduck (my ftp client).
4) Type in the complete url in the “quick connect box” and then I type in my server name and password.
5) Now I open the “index.html” folder for the site and delete the old “latest news” folder completely from cyber duck (my ftp client).
6) Now I just drag the new edited version folder of “latest news” from my hard drive and then drop it into the index.html folder in cyber duck and within a minute or two the new “latest news” webpage appears on my website.
So, obviously this works, but it’s a “wonky” procedure, especially considering the fact that I want to be changing and updating the website on a weekly basis. I’m sure a better way to update webpages exists, but I’m a complete beginner to all of this stuff. Any help or advice would be most appreciated!
Thanks!

Cannot edit published webpage

Hi All-
Maybe you folks will be able to help me out. I made a website using iWeb and could not find a way to save it to my flash drive, so I published the webpage to my flash drive. Now I want to edit the webpage again and I am unable to open any of the saved files with iWeb. It doesn't recognize any of them. I'm a Windows user, so I'm way out of my element. I couldn't find an "open" under file to get it that way and when I go to my flash drive and do "open with" iWeb is grayed out. I can open it in Dreamweaver, but I hate Dreamweaver.
Anyone heard of this problem before?
Thanks,
Brittany

Well no, you won't be able to open these files - iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open previously published sites, html files.
As Roddy has said already, you need to find the domain.sites file where everything in iWeb is stored. You domain file is found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

How can i add an administrator access so the admin can edit his webpage on the web browser?

How can i add an administrator access so the admin can edit his webpage on the web browser?

A content management system or CMS is software usually on the server that allows client's to log-in and edit content from any web browser with an internet connection. These web pages are typically built with server-side programming (PHP) and databases (MySql).
CMSs come big and small. The right one for your project depends on
     a) your programming skills,
     b) project requirements,
     c) budget.

How to edit/publish a calendar from multiple computers?

In our small business we have up to three people doing scheduling using iCal. We would like to use our separate computers to edit/publish calendars. Right now, we can subscribe, but not publish calendars from multiple machines.
Is there a way to remotely log in to the Mac we publish the calendars on, or can we do this through the web?
Sorry if this has been covered before . . . thanks!

The only way I know to "log in" to another computer is through the Apple's sofware: Apple Remote Desktop (a bit overkill if all you want to do is edit a calendar)
It is not possible to edit another user's calendar, you can only sibscribe.
Perhaps a 3rd party will have this ability soon (Chronos is coming out with a major upgrade to their Group/Personal Organizer product.
DayLite by Market Circle is another product which may let you do what you want but it doesn't currently sync with iCal, thus you would lose all the extended functionality of iCal.
Sorry none of these meet your current needs,
Do look at CalTalk if you need to share calendars locally without publishing them to the web. (How do you share now?)
There are also some web based calendar programs (eg BaseCamp) but you have to always be connected to the web and pay a subscrition fee.

What does "Edit Published Collection" do?

If I right-click on a published collection there is a command "Edit Published Collection". In the dialog box that comes up it seems the only thing I can do is rename but there is already a rename in the right-click menu. Hitting EDIT in the dialog seems to do NOTHING. What am I missing on the use of this command. There doesn't seem to be any info on this in a google search.

It completely depends on the plugin that lies behind that published service, Bob. The usual thing would be to code the plugin so that menu option opens a dialog box with settings related to that service.
For instance, imagine the plugin is uploading shoots to a print service. Edit may produce a dialog which gets info from the service (eg standard prices) and allows you to add your profit margin or uplift. When you close the dialog that information is stored in the catalogue and sent to the service.
So Edit can do all sorts of things and it's not surprising that Google might not provide any obvious answer.

Trouble viewing publisher (6.2) admin portlet.

Product: Publisher 6.2 (Plumtree portal Server 6.1 G1)
Environment: Development
Operation System: Windows 2003 Server
Development Technology: .Net
I am having trouble viewing publisher administration portlet through portal server.
I have installed Publisher 6.2 on our development server. The diagnostics page shows everything is okay! The publisher was imported in the portal and Publisher Administration portlet was added to the home page. Of the three links in the publisher admin portlet, I can access the Workflow Administration link correctly, but while accessing the Publisher Explorer or Diagnostics I get the 404 File Not Found error.
Any suggestions why the explorer and diagnostics links are not functioning; as I understand these two links are Gatewayed while the workflow admin link isn't it.
I have uninstallaed and re-installed Publisher one more time to ensure it wasn't a installation issue.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Chris,
This is the URL that it tries to post to when you click on the diagnostics link:
http://localhost:8082/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_293_0_0_43/http%3B/shahlaptop%3B7087/ptcs/console/index.jsp?sid=5b2fd789-5921-4d3e-b9b2-24d0bf8b775f
(Note that the URL was obtained by debugging the JavaScript through Mozilla Firefox; IE does not display the Address bar since it is opened in a pop-up box).
Thanks

How to edit published page?

I created a website using iWeb, published it and now want to edit...but I cannot for the life of me figure out to edit the published page. I can view it...I just can't seem to edit it. Any ideas?
Power Mac G4 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.4)

The only way I know to deal with that problem is to:
* Go to your published site.
* Drag images, etc from your published site to iWeb, then use those elements to reconstruct your site.
* Or, do a screen capture of your site (someone suggested Shift-Command-4; I use Shift-Command-3). Then use an imagine processing problem like Photoshop Lite or perhaps iPhoto to crop out material you don't want. Then paste the remaining image into iWeb. It's not idea, but it might save you a lot to time reconstructing your site.
* Another tip is to do your text composition in MS Word, then "Save as Webpage". That way, you have a backup copy of material in a .doc file, in addition to what you have saved in our domain file.

Trouble with publishing two Folios in Apple Newsstand

Hey everybody,
i´m im trouble. I finished a magazine for a customer who wants to publish that in the apple newsstand.
The magazine is in two different languages. So i have two different folios with animations, galleries, movies etc.
We already have a apple developer account with some published apps,
and we have adobe dps single edition account. I´ve found a lot of tutorials for the publication
but i´m not shure which one is the right one or what i need
Did anyone can help me what i have to do now...
- Is there a restriction how many releases i need for the newsstand to approve?
- Is the Adobe single edition the right license for the Newsstand with more releases (two every year)?
- can i create a multiply folio app with my current account?
- is it possible to publish a folio like mine in the apple Newsstand with my current profiles and software?
- how i manage two different languages for a multi folio app? (Do i need two apps? - One for each language?)
Hope there is someone who can help me.
Thanks a lot.

Single Edition apps cannot be published to Newsstand.
You will need a pro or enterprise account to publish multi folio apps.
I wrote a blog post explaining the differences a while back. You might want
to give it a read:

Latest version iMovie: cannot see clips in project OR event browser, but they are there in both libraries! So cannot create/edit/publish ANYTHING.

HI All. I have been having a HECK of a time with iMovie 11!!! Converted a bunch of video to .mov format, imported into iMovie, and created a project. No problem. Finalized, and published to iTunes, no problem. Saves extra copies. No Problem. SO ... I want to create another project, and follow the instructions RELIGIOUSLY. I can import the video files into the event library, and can drag them into a newly created project, but I CANNOT see the clips in the browser pane for events or library! When I click the playhead in either the event library or the project library (where the clips are edited - supposedly), they play (ie, i hear the audio just fine) ... but NO real-time playback. ALSO - the video no longer plays for the already completed project when I click the playhead - same deal - not in the project browser, not in the event browser. The playhead runs, but as it moves from thumbnail to thumbnail, each one goes black, and no video plays in real time in the other pane. I closed out of iMovie, did a restart, repaired permissions. No change. I get no error messages, and can find no way to 'reassociate' a project with a set of clips (like one can do in software like Illustrator etc).HELP!!!

I've spent 3 hours in Apple Covent Garden trying to have this fixed. Most of those were spent doing something to content in iPhoto. It didn't work. Then I left them my computer to reinstall software (Snow Leopard and iMovie) which they said they could do better than me and my discs. But I got back a computer with a new user profile and no files. When I used Time Machine to restore my files to my old profile the problem was just as before except now I've lost a week worth of photos, despite the Time Machine file having been saved just hours before I gave my Mac to the muppets in the Apple store.
If it's any clue, the other I get is that iMovie searches for four missing movie files when it tries to load. I've tried solving this by creating new files and changing the names to match the ones that are missing (as I read elsewhere in the community works) but it doesn't work.
So I've wasted hours, a day of Apple having my computer and no one replies to my thread here. What's to be done? Do I give up on iMovie and buy Final Cut pro? And how can I get my week's worth of photos back that have disappeared from TimeMachine, even though everything else in the restoration (e.g. mail and Firefox windows) are completely up to date?

Can't edit the webpage in Contribute...

Hi, I've never used Contribute before, but a client uses it to edit their website. They called on me to build a new a page for their existing website. I built the new page in Dreamweaver, but now they can't edit that page in Contribute. Do I need to build their new page in Contribute? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I just created a new page in Dreamweaver for the website so we'll see if the client can edit that. This last page someone else coded for me.
Attorney Charmaine E. Grant- this is the new webpage I just created in Dreamweaver
website: http://tclaw.net/
I'm not familiar with Contribute so I would love to know what I'm doing wrong in the code if possible.
Thank you for all your help!

Troubles editing tables with partitions

I'm running SQL Developer 1.5.3 against Oracle 10/11 databases and SQL Developer has trouble with my partitioned tables. Both the schema owner and sys users experience the same problems.
The first time I try to edit a table, I get an "Error Loading Objects" dialog with a NullPointException message. If I immediately turn around and try to edit the table again, I get the Edit Table dialog. That's annoying but there's at least a work-around.
Next, if I select the Indexes pane, I can view the first index but selecting another one results in an "Index Error on <table>" error dialog. The message is "There are no table partitions on which to define local index partitions". At this point, selecting any of the other panes (Columns, Primary Key, etc.) results in the same dialog. While the main Partitions tab shows my partitions, I cannot see them in the Edit Table dialog. In fact, the Partition Definitions and Subpartition Templates panes are blank.
Does anyone else see this behavior? Version 1.5.1 behaved the same way so it's not new.
Of course I've figured out how to do everything I need through SQL but it would be handy if I could just use the tool.
Thank you.

Most of my tables are generated from a script so this morning I decided to just create a very basic partitioned table. It contained a NUMBER primary key and a TIMESTAMP(6) column to use with partitioning. That table worked just fine in SQL Developer.
At that point I tried to figure out what is different about my tables and I finally found the difference... Oracle Spatial. If I add an MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY column to my partitioned table, SQL Developer starts having issues.
I also have the GeoRaptor plugin installed so I had to wonder if it was interfering with SQL Developer. I couldn't find an option to uninstall an extension so I went into the sqldeveloper/extensions directory and removed GeoRaptorLibs and org.GeoRaptor.jar. GeoRaptor doesn't appear to be installed in SQL Developer anymore but I still see the same behavior.
It appears that there is an issue in SQL Developer with Oracle Spatial and partitioning. Can someone confirm this?

Publishing webpages on .mac created by other applications (not iWeb)

I've got a web page and linked files in a subfolder - all created by Powerpoint.
I would like to publish this on my .mac account site - but can't figure out how to do it.
Any suggestions?

In addition to what i wrote earlier.
When saving the PP to a webpage, create a folder first with a suitable name ( ppt for example. DotMac is case-sensitive).
Then save the file as index.html in that folder.
Not as presentationname.htm.
That way you need not type the filename.
Then drop the folder in the Sites folder or Web>Sites folder on your iDisk.
The URL will be:
http://homepage.mac.com/dotMacID/ppt/
or
http://web.mac.com/dotMacID/ppt/

Editing a webpage in webview

I am new to iOS and Mac programming but old to .net so have some knowledge. I am on 10.8.2 using Xcode 4.5.2 on my lil MacBook Pro.
I am trying to replicate a program I created in .net for christmas shopping for the Mrs.
Basically its an internet browser that removes prices from webpages it browses. It searches the webpage for the £ sign, then . and then adds two. Once a price is found like this it removes it.
I already have a browser built with the webkit using the webview to display. How can I grab the webpage data and do this type of manipulation?

Give me an example of a software program that will let me open and edit a page previously created with Frontpage. I have attempted with Rapid Weaver. Thanks for your help!!

Edit published folders?

Hello
I'm trying out uploading with Goliath (having had no luck publishing iWeb>.Mac direct).
I've published my site to a local folder and it's uploading now.
I just wondered, when I edit my site, how do I open this new published local folder? Will iWeb now load the pages from here to work on? Or will I have to re-publish to a new folder and upload it all again?
Hope you can help, thanks in advance.

I have an fpt site and files seem to upload to there
easily, but I don't know where to point my domian
once they're up... if I can work that out it seems
much better... do you know anything about ftp?
Here are some tips for doing things with ftp:
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebserver.html
As for what the url would be, you need to get that info from the provider of your ftp space, or at least tell us who that is. It would normally be something like http://www.domainname.com/username, assuming you have uploaded an index.html file plus a Site folder, for example.
