Uploading my genealogical site to Iweb?

Hi there,
I'm building my genealogical tree through Reunion 8 for Mac and that software allows you to prepare your tree to be uploaded on the web. My question: can I use Iweb to upload the site? if so, how do I do that? Are there any tutorials for that?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
thanks,

okay i am not quite sure how your program exports to web - but here are three methods:
1. Export your tree as a image (png or jpg) and simply drag that into iWeb!
2. The second way is to create a link from iWeb to your ONE file.
2a) typer some text or select a image and press on the inspector button!
2b) go to hyperlink inspector (very left blue arrow) and choose link to file.
2c) now your image or text should link to a file, the gene-tree!
3. If your tree is a .html file and a folder, then i suggest you copy them to the underlined folder:
iDisk/Web/Sites/
3a) then from iWeb, select a object or text and activate it as a link.
3b) the link should go to an external site, which if you placed the files in the folder above:
http://web.mac.com/USERNAME/filename.extension
replace the username with what your username is and the filename with what your file is named and in what suffix it ends, eg.: .html, .jpg, .png, .doc or so:
http://web.mac.com/USERNAME/genetree.doc
hope that helps!

I am an artist who built my site on iWeb 08. Although I have easily been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. How do I convert to iWeb 09 and is this easy to do?

Help! I am an artist who had my site professionally designed on iWeb 08. Although I have been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. I was advised to update to IWeb 09 (which I could get, I think? from Amazon) because it has a built- in option to publish to any FTP. How do I convert my 08 folder to an 09 folder? Will it convert correctly? I know eventually I will need to rebuilt the site, but I would like to use this option for awhile to buy time. Is this feasible? I currently own a Mac Pro.

Its just a question of installing the later version of iWeb from the iLife disk and opening your website in that version. Its a good idea to have a backup of your Domain.sites2 file before doing this. See this page for its location...

Uploading/intergating Lightroom page to iweb / dotmac site

Hello

All of these answers were helpful - I tried the walk throughs but cannot see where I have gone wrong - the link is active but directs to account error message rather than the Lightroom flash gallery folder saved in Sites on iDisc.
http://web.mac.com/miffy.ohara/Site/WINTER.html
Can save to my iDisc sites folder but how do I get Adobe Lightroom to upload a web site page to my .Mac/iDisk web site?
What do I enter in the "Configure FTP File Transfer" window that asks for :
"Server"? web.mac.com
"Username/password" ? "[email protected]" or just "mymacname?" and login password?
"Server path" ? /volumes/dotmacusername/Web/Sites/ (times out if I browse to find path)
Can any one post a work flow/walk through for this newbie?
Thank you in advance.

Joomla is open source and works on the same basis as Drupal. The idea is that you don't download it to your computer, but rather you purchase hosting with a host that supports open source like Joomla and Drupal and you then load it on your server directly from your host and create your site from there.
If you want to add pages created with iWeb to your existing Joomla site, then place a link to the other pages in your Joomla site and then create pages in iWeb, publish to a folder and then upload to your server. Place the iWeb files into your root folder so that they are visible and then the link to the pages from your Joomla site should work.

How to restore uploaded iWeb sites as iWeb data on your computer.

My original internal HD died. Fortunately, I had data backed up with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had turned off automatic backup because Time Machine was giving my computer problems and I'd forgotten to do a manual backup. So the last backup my Time Machine did was in 2008. In that time when I Time Machine was turned off, I had created a few sites on iWeb and uploaded to my Mobile Me account. I now have a new HD and restored all my data from my Time Machine backup but the most up to date are from 2008. I've lost the iWeb files created in 2009. Is it possible to restore my iWeb files to my computer from the files I uploaded to the Mobile Me server? If so, how would I do it? Hope there's a way. Thanks.

As you already found out you'll have to rebuild from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
Also it might be a good time to develop a backup strategy.

My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

What's the answer?
Thanks

Many thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

Uploading a site with iweb

I've created a site in iweb.
Does anyone know how I upload it to my existing domain?
Cheers
Chris

Chris ~ If, where your existing domain is registered, they also provide hosting, you can publish your site to a folder and then upload it via an FTP app to your host. Alternatively, you can publish to MobileMe and point your Domain name there. More info here:

Constant error message when trying to publish sites in iWeb 2.0.1

Dear All,
I have a few sites in iWeb (mostly from iWeb 1) and after upgrading to iWeb 2, finding my old sites again and installing the update I decided to build a new site. On completion and trying to publish I get:
Publish Error: An unknown error occurred.
I've tried "publishing all" instead but no change. No problems with iDisk, Firewalls, .Mac etc, however it won't publish to a folder either so it must be the program. Any ideas? Apparently the 2.0.1 update was supposed to fix this, but obviously not.
Alex

Alex,
If it won't publish to a folder then there is an element/file in the site that iWeb 2.0.1 is choking on. Normally, even when iWeb produces a publish error during upload to .Mac, it will still write the html locally, to a folder.
Check to see if you have some unusual file extensions on pics or movies.
You can test the worthiness of your iWeb app by making a simple page with a blank Domain.sites file and seeing if you can publish it to a folder.

How to upload one (1) page in iWeb

If I have a Web site that has 1000 pages.. and I add 1 page or make 1 change to a page
How do I make that change on my Website without uploading the whole 1000 pages again??
I started to use iWeb publishing to FTP, but seems to only be able to upload the entire
site to the server.. not just the changes to one (1) page or that one (1) extra page
Does this mean I have to return to FileZilla and use that up loader to the server ??
Or.. am I missing something ??
Thanks

If depends on what you're using to upload the files. If you use iWeb to ftp the files it can determine what pages in the site are new or modified and upload only those files. To assure iWeb does that I use the File ➙ Upload Site Changes option.
If you use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck you can still upload only those new or modified files. This tutorial describes how: #2 - Uploading only those published new or newly edited files when using a 3rd party FTP client.
If you have that many pages, or a lot, it would be more efficient to have multiple sites in multiple domain files. You can link to another site in the navbar by having a totally, blank page titled so as to match a similar page in the other site with the following code in an HTML snippet on the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO"; </script>
Thanks to Cyclosaurus for this code
If your site has sections of similar topics they could be in one site in their own domain file. Web Site Maestro can be used to create new domain files to house the various sites and switch between them.

What happens if I delete a site in iweb? site still on the web? system?

B/c of my various issues i'm having since upgrading iweb, I created two test sites on iweb09. I was able to upload them to the web and to a folder.
I deleted both. Later, I created another test site with the same name (site 2). I noticed this one was acting weird.
I'm wondering what happens to the sites after they are deleted.
1. Are they available on the web?
2. Are they somewhere else on my system that I should make sure to delete?
Thx.

Deleting sites inside iweb does not have any effect on what has been published on a server or to a folder on your local drive. It just changes what is in iWeb's domain file.

Created a web site in iweb, i have a domain through godaddy, what resource can I use as host?

Created a web site in iweb. I have a domain name through GoDaddy, What resource should I use to make site public?

I would agree that it helps the newcomer to FTP to have a hosting service whose tech support understand the unique structure of iWeb created sites. I have lost count of the number of users who have asked me to sort out problems created by tech support employed by numerous hosting services - including the mighty GoDaddy.
A lot of tech support people don't seem to bother to look at the form and function of the iWeb index.html files and advise users that they have to rename their home page to "index". While this holds true for most websites, it certainly doesn't apply to iWeb.
Its not "simply the html and css files". How many users come unstuck when they forget about the feed.xml?
People who hand out advice in this forum about uploading files via "Cyberduck" tend to miss out the part about the importance of maintaining the site structure by uploading the whole folder created by iWeb plus the external index.html.
They also may not have been around back when I first announced that I uploaded the contents of the iWeb folder to get rid of the site name in the URL. I was shot down in flames by the iWeb "experts" and told that this was impossible - even although I was obviously doing it!
Although this method of uploading the files has become accepted practice in the iWeb community I wouldn't recommend it to those who are new to FTP unless they have help from a tech support person who actually understands the problems involved and can point out the downside. Those who claim that it is "simple" and "easy" have obviously forgotten the first time that they tried it!
A lot of the people who come to this forum for help with FTP end up in a complete mess due to the conflicting and inadequate advice they get due to the fact that the "adviser" hasn't a clue about the hosting account structure and can't view the actual files. In many cases, I have had to go into the users hosting account and sort out the mess created by bad advice and ignorance. This should really be done by the hosting service's tech support but, in many cases, they helped create the problem in the first place.
The mere fact that an iWeb user has to come to this forum for help with FTP seems to suggest that their hosting service has inferior tech support.

How do I set the default site in iWeb '09

I have several sites built in iWeb, like most people do. However I want one specific site to be the default. How do I tell iWeb which folder to pick?
In addition to this question, I have iWeb on another computer that I would like to upload a site I've been working on too. However, I don't want the second computer to override the first.
It would be easier to show you...
my site is located here
- http://web.me.com/wlamagdeleine/
I want my default page to be located at...
- http://web.me.com/wlamagdeleine/Wayne
But I built a different page on a second Mac and I want to upload it as well, but not make it the default...
- http://web.me.com/wlamagdeleine/iwayne
How do I tell iWeb all of this?

If you have more than one domain file in different folders and want to open one of them in particular when you open the application, put a copy of its domain file into Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb
When you enter the URL...
http://web.me.com/username/
... the site whose index.html file exists in Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites opens.
When you upload the site - iwayne - its index.html file will replace the default. You need to keep a copy of the index file for the default site and upload it to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites by drag and drop after you publish changes to the site - iwayne.
To see the iwayne site in the browser you will enter the URL....
http://web.me.com/username/iwayne/PageName.html
... where iwayne is the name of the site in iWeb and PageName is the name of the Home page.

Tried to edit my site in iweb, gave me two homepages.. help?

hi prob a real noob question but i published my site with iweb and decided i wanted to change the theme and when i published my new site it created a new site thats not my homepage, my homepage is still the original theme, when i view my site from option box after publish it shows new site but its not my home adderess in my URL box its basiclly myhomepage/myhomepage/home.html when i go to www myhomepage com it shows my old site.... any help would be the greatest before i clean out the FTP and load fresh, its pretty big... that seems like the long way tho... thanks!

okay after a little more poking around and research i found that ( i think ) this happened due to me transfering my site to local folder then uploading using iweb SEO, when you publish a entire sight with iweb it creates a new folder in you root that is named after the sight name you added when setting up ftp.
   So i now have my site loaded in to my filemanager twice, if i make changes in iweb and "publish changes" it changes the "second" site which nobody see's because its not my real homepage URL ,like i said nobody looks at this except me when i click "visit my site" after publish and it takes me to my revised webpage. Which fooled me untill i went to my site via bookmarks.
http://www.mysite.com/home.html                                (real site up and working)
http://www.mysite.com/my_site/home.html                    (the one iweb revises thats not my real homepage)
in effect iv'e lost the ability to publish just my changes in iweb, i now have to publish entire site to local folder and upload entire site via iweb SEO (which must be done anyways to add/keep meta's and titles but i haven't assingened them yet) this overrights my real website, but is ALOT more time consuming everytime i want to make some small changes, HOW DO I FIX THIS???/
ive read of renaming the site in the ftp setup in iweb to your "default" page but i can't figure that out. Any pointers would be so appricitated THANKS

Hit Counter button not appearing when I upload the web site.

I am using iWeb version 3.0.4 on OS 10.6.8, and on the Welcome page, I added the Hit Counter button. When I upload the web site, the Hit Counter button does not appear. Anyone have any solutions as to why it isn't appearing? Thanks...

Where are you hosting the site? The counter will not work on ftp servers, only on MobileMe. If you are hosting on MobileMe increase the footer height considerable and publish. If the counter then appears you can move it closer to the body/footer border and reduce the footer height.
If you're not on MobileMe consider a 3rd party counter like StatCounter. This tutorial describes how to add it to iWeb pages: #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet
If you're on MobileMe you know that MMe will be discontinued on June 30 of next year. This may be of interest: #23 - Life After MobileMe

Reassociating a site with iWeb 06

I need a bit of help here from some bright person who use iWeb/Tiger .
I did a clean install of the whole computer. I reinstalled iWeb from '06. I had previously published a site to iDisk created in iWeb.
I had also published it to a folder, but I thought I could just download it back from iDisk after the fresh install. I did that. However, every icon is associated with a browser and not with iWeb. It is the same on iDisk.
I can find no way to re-associate the site with iWeb/open the site in iWeb. Thus I am dead in the water. Again, all the icons are "Safari" or internet associated. In iWeb there is no "Open" and dragging an icon onto iWeb does nothing.
how can I open a site created in iWeb after a clean install on the computer???
I truly need some help here. The site is dead in the water as it is now
thanks
