Using Flux with iWeb Websites

I don't have Flux but have been considering it to replace iWeb. Can anyone answere these questions?
Can I use iWeb and Flux together? For instance, If I publish an iWeb website to a folder and then import it into Flux, do some editing and then publish from Flux to another folder, will the website still work as before?
Will scripts that get overwritten when published from iWeb be preserved when re-published from Flux?
Bill

Old Toad and Roddy: Thanks for the information.
To bad you can't go back and forth. I need to give you a little background before I can ask my next question.
I've been using iWeb since it was released and like it's ease of use; I don't really want to get into code editing. I've been publishing to a local folder and then uploading with CyberDuck. I found that was a much faster process than letting iWeb publish to iDisk. I also have gotten familiar enough with html and java script to be able to paste scripts (like Google Analytics) in after publishing (I've been using Taco HTML edit because I like being able to store and manage the Clips).
I'm doing the same thing now that I've moved to my own domain on HostGator, except that now I upload with Filezilla. I can continue with this workflow but I'm a little worried about the future of iWeb and so am looking for a replacement. I realize that iWeb will continue to work and I have time to make the decision.
I'm hoping the replacement won't overwrite embeded scripts, like iWeb does, so that I can eliminate that part of the workflow and save a lot of time.
Just reading about Flux sounds like I could build the major parts of the website using the WYSIWG features but continue putting in the code that I know how to do now. Then as I got more familiar with Flux I could get more into coding if I chose to, but I wouldn't really need to if I didn't want to.
Roddy you say Flux is not the best choice. What do you recommend as better choices given what I want to do?
Old Toad do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for your help. I appreciate your guidance.

Using Aperture with iWeb

Just installed 1.5 and updated all the previews. But I have tried to use 1.5 with iWeb (I run a blog using iWeb) but without much success. All the photos that iWeb displays are the Masters and not the versions that I worked on and want to export.
Also, my impression from the quicktime movie on 1.5's new features suggest that I can drag and drop directly from within Aperture into an iLife or iWork application. Has anyone been able to do this?
Conrad

All my Aperture's images are accesible from iWeb in Media/Photos/Aperture.
The images there are the versions I worked on, not the masters. If you have few images in a stack only the pick will be displayed, so make sure you don't have the untouched master selected as the pick in a stack.

Using forums with IWEB

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if forums are compatible with iweb. I want to create my own forums. If so what is recommended in making a forum.
thank you

Here is mine
http://web.mac.com/kenan1085/KennosWebpage/Welcome.html
I still have a great deal of work to do compared to all your wonderful pages that I have looked at.
I intend to later do some cool adjustment as I learn more.
Comments would be really nice too !!

How do I use webfonts with iWeb?

I have purchased some webfonts from MyFonts and followed their instructions, adding an HTML snippet with the required code.
When I view the site on a computer without the fonts installed it replaces the fonts with standard serif and non-serif fonts.
The webfonts are available on the root level of the server along with the provided CSS file that uses them. The HTML code
refers each page to this CSS file.
Can anyone help?

Is there anyway I can use iWeb to publish a simple good-old-fashioned html document?
No. The whole purpose of iWeb is to enable people who don't know how to do what you did to publish websites anyway. All you need to do to "publish" your site is to put it on a server, either on .Mac via drag/drop or on something else via ftp.

Anyone Using iWebsites with iWeb 08?

I used it in the past to create new galleries outside of iWeb, then open them into iWeb to work on individual websites. Is that still possible?

Ha. Sometimes it is! No going back, without a backup of Domain.sites. iWeb08 will convert the file to Domain.sites2, which cannot be opened with iWeb06. If stuff is missing from your site in 08, and you decide to reinstall iWeb06, you will have to recreate your sites if you do not have copies of those Domain.sites files.
Much anguish has been expressed here on the subject...

I need to send fonts used in an iWeb website. Where are they?

I redid a site for a friend who wants it sent to him so he can make changes in the future. He has iWeb as well. He needs ArialMS which his iWeb is substituting for ArialMT. All the copy is rewrapping when published. I can't locate that font. I tried Spotlight but to no avail. Where do I look? Am I looking for a typical font folder or does iWeb use something different? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks, yes I know that although that list was helpful. The problem is that the guy I'm sending it to says his machine requires Arial MS and I don't have that... just Arial. It wants to substitute with Arial MT but the text rewraps and throws everything off. I notice at the bottom of the link you sent it talks about different machines requiring different fonts so that may be it. I scanned it briefly but have to look at it closer. He is using a Mac Pro.
Also, he is a programmer (backend guy) and gave me coding to put into snippets for login buttons and such yet he doesn't see the coding when he opens the coding of a page. How does he access it? He has existing pages with forms for his clients to use that he has to alter and update the look to the site I made. Any thoughts?
I was just trying to help him... don't know if I did at this point.

How do I use Firebug with a website I created? I want to see how long each thing takes to load on the page. The server is very slow.

I have created a website/blog with Wordpress. It appears to be on a slow server because it can't be opened or takes forever to open. A representative from Wordpress told me to download Firebug to find out how long each thing takes to load on the page. I downloaded Firebug but I can't figure out how to use it. Please advise.

OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

Help with iweb website

I have created a website using iweb and when you google search my website it shows the live website and an old out of date version - how do I remove this old version?

Use the Robots.txt file. Info at the bottom of this page....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Sitemap.html
You can also put a redirect on the old site pages to forward visitors to an equivalent page of the new site. Put this code in an HTML Snippet on each page of your old site....
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO EQUIVALENT PAGE ON THE NEW SITE"; </script>
This is Google's solution....
Removing an entire directory or site
In order for a directory or site-wide removal to be successful, the directory or site must bedisallowed in the site's robots.txt file. For example, in order to remove the http://www.example.com/secret/ directory, your robots.txt file would need to include:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /secret/
It isn't enough for the root of the directory to return a 404 status code, because it's possible for a directory to return a 404 but still serve out files underneath it. Using robots.txt to block a directory (or an entire site) ensures that all the URLs under that directory (or site) are blocked as well. You can test whether a directory has been blocked correctly using either the Fetch as Googlebot orTest robots.txt features in Webmaster Tools.
Only verified owners of a site can request removal of an entire site or directory in Webmaster Tools. To request removal of a directory or site, click on the site in question, then go to Site configuration > Crawler access > Remove URL. If you enter the root of your site as the URL you want to remove, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to remove the entire site. If you enter a subdirectory, select the "Remove directory" option from the drop-down menu.

You should also have a look at this Google page about Requesting removal of content from our index.

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

Issues with this website

Is this a Safari issue or a Dice issue, or both?
http://community.dice.com/t5/Customer-Support/Using-Safari-with-this-website/td- p/191198
My post
The font size is WAY WAY too small, and I have had some other issues as well. One of which is when I close the browser window and come back to a thread and hit the reply button, I am taken to some search screen, and have to completely log out and log back in before I can reply. Its very annoying and needs to be done everytime I reply to a post. I have deleted all my cookies, cleared my cache, etc.. I am thinking its a issue with how this website talks with safari but I could be wrong. I could ISOLATE the problem by creating or logging into another Mac account I setup for testing problems, but I am too lazy to do so, as I am thinking this is a Dice + Safari issue because I never had the problems when I used FireFox full time.
John

I bet a donut that the problems I am experiencing have nothing to do with logging in as a admin. I bet its a Dice + Safari issue.

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.

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

Can I publish more than one website to the net with iWeb?

Hey there,
Looking for help from ANYBODY!!!! I've done one website for my business (Interior design), secured the domain name and published it no problems. Then I designed a second one (medical aid site), secured another domain name but when typed in, it goes to my FIRST website.
Does iWeb allow you you to publish 2 different websites to 2 different domain names???
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanx Braden

With iWeb 09 you can publish to different webservers.
Select the Sitename in the lefthand column and either choose MobileMe, FTP or a folder.
If both sites are published on the same webserver, the site at the top of the list is the default one. If both domainnames point to that same webserver, then the default site loads regardless which domain name you use.
With MobileMe you can only have ONE domain name. With other hosts it depends on how you configured the webserver and the domainnames. Usually you can configure your (sub)domainname to point to a specific folder on your website. Check with your host.

How many website can I create with iWeb?

How many different webpages can I create with iWeb? I just created a site to show friends a slide show from a recent trip, but I need to create another webpage that will have video on it. It would be a totally different subject matter. I do have a .MAC account and not sure if I need to do anything with that so I can have more webpages.
I guess what I am saying is that I am going to need different URL's for the webpages I am going to need to create and want to know how many you can have or create using iWeb.

You can have multiple websites, each with multiple pages depending on the need. To make managing multiple sites easier, take a look at iWebSites. The limiting factor, as was pointed out, is the available space on your iDisk. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
