Using native iWeb to create an index of blog entries

While not entirely what I had in mind, by linking together pages that themselves have internal links to my blog entries, I have created a passable blog index. My site is still new, but as I blog more material, I wanted a way to group the pages by categories. The top down blog archive that is provided out of the box was just not going to work for me.
This approach has an added benefit. Since the pages from the index are linked via html, the blog pages can be found via the google sitecrawler engines. (note my home page directory is also html rather than the native iWeb index). I use a sitemap already, so this feature is not terribly important to me. But it might help you if you haven't sorted out sitemaps yet.
This does require that I update the index page(s) every time I add a blog entry.
Hope you guys find this useful.

Terry ~ You followed Nitsa's apparently good example on hosting, but not on blogging — she uses WordPress rather than iWeb:
http://nonphotography.com/blog
...Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these discussions as it's not a serious blogging platform. And with multiple iWeb blogs within your site, you're multiplying your chances of having problems. Also, as you add entries to your blog(s), opening your site in iWeb and backing up its Domain file will become slower and slower. Plus, when you eventually have to re-publish your entire iWeb site, you may have a long wait for the upload to finish.
The following old thread was started by someone who suspected iWeb's blog would not be robust enough and, like Nitsa, wisely built their blog in WordPress:
_To blog or not to blog_
As mentioned there, some of WordPress's themes provide tabs — which you could use to categorize posts, e.g.
http://mistylook.org
And as an alternative to setting up a basic hyperlink to your external blog, there's a way to link to it from iWeb's navigation bar.

IWeb refuses to publish my latest blog entry

I have ftp'ed into the server and deleted the whole thing. I re-published the whole site and the most recent blog entry just isn't there. In iWeb it is fine, I can get to it, it shows up in the archive, it is actually uploaded to the server, there are just no links to it anywhere on the site.
Help.

have a problem that apple support has just not been able to solve:( produced and published a website and hosting it through iweb. recently, any changes made in iweb will not publish - i tested a page in a new site and it published perfectly. am beginning to think there is something corrupt in my original site. i have backed up the domain to a portable drive - without rebuilding the bloody site, will it work if i delete the published site (which clearly has an error) and republish my latest version of the site? thanks in advance,

Linking to Adobe PDF on blog entry crashing iWeb

Help! I have been using iWeb to create a website and blog. In a recent blog entry, i linked to an Adobe PDF file on my computer. The link was functioning and working fine, and then I saved the entry and iWeb crashed. I managed to open it back up by sending photos from iPhoto to iWeb. The other pages of the website work fine, and other blog posts also work fine. I tried publishing and the site published. However, in both iWeb and online, the blog post with the linked PDF is now just blank. The PDF works fine on its own and is not corrupted.
I have tried editing the post as well as deleting it in iWeb, but every time I click either button iWeb crashes and gives me an error message. I cannot duplicate the blog post either. This would somehow be okay, but I cannot add a new blog entry in iWeb either (it crashes). other pages are unaffected. I have not attempted deleting the entire blog portion of the website yet. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the malfunctioning blog post besides deleting the whole website and starting from scratch? Bear in mind the back-up of the Domain I saved was after I saved the blog post. Is there a 3rd party app that I can open my Domain in to manually remove the blog entry, or someway to access the code to delete the data that way?

This JUST happened to me as well after linking to a PDF file but now I can't get iWeb to load up, well, it opens and I can see the inspector pane but that is all...the main window is not there and I can't seem to figure out how to get it.
I also noticed a bunch of iWeb stuff in the trash now in a "recovered files" folder.
Any ideas?

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
Site 1 folder
Site 2 folder
Site 3 folder
index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
http://doman_name.com/Site 2
http://doman_name.com/Site 3

IWeb '09 and creating an "Index" page for two separate sides of my website

I'm redesigning my website with iWeb '09 seeing that I've recently switched to Mac from being a life-long PC/Windows user. I'm not too web programming savvy so iWeb fits my needs as a very good program that redesigns my site very nicely (and quite inexpensively, as well).
My current incarnation of my website (http://www.jeffreykern.com) was designed by a professional web designer on Dreamweaver for PC a couple of years ago. Some time ago when I was trying to update my PC with XP SP 3 (bad idea as it turned out), my connection to my web hosting service got completely fouled up and I lost the ability to update the site and haven't updated my site since. Knowing that I was going to be switching to Mac (with my new Mac Pro) I never had the desire, or energy, to patch things up to update my site with my PC. Plus, I was in need of a redesign so I eventually got my site ready to go with iWeb 09. That's where I stand right now...
So, as you can see on my current site I have a main index page that splits up into the two sides of my life: the triathlete side and the writer side. I've already redesigned both sides of my site with iWeb, I'm ready to update it thru my web hosting via FTP and Transmit 3, but I cannot find how to create a main "Index" page on iWeb that will let me branch off into two different directions. By having that "Index" page intact I will be able to keep my domain of jeffreykern.com as it currently stands. I don't mind having to get two different domains for each of my two sides of my site but would like to avoid that extra step -- if, at all, possible.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeff

Building three websites on three separate domain files would be my choice.
Its important to realize that you cannot have a page called "index" using iWeb because the associated index.html file will conflict with the one that iWeb creates.
As has been suggested, the first site would be one page. The site name would be jeffreykern.
This site will publish as jeffreykern_files and an index.html file. Inside this folder is another index.html file. This is the one your domain name will be directed at if you don't need an RSS feed.
If your server allows it, create a root folder on it called "jeffreykern" and upload the contents of the local folder to this and ignore the separate index.html file. Note that I said contents and not the folder itself.
A lot of servers require that you upload to a pre existing folder. In this case you will have to upload the index.html file and the jeffreykern _files folder.
The two other sites are named and published as writer and triathlete. The external index files of these two sites are renamed writer.html and triathlete.html.
These two files and their corresponding folders are uploaded to your root folder on the server after adding tags and optimizing.......
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/SEO.html
Now you have a main (one page) site with two sub sites.
The domain name http://www.jeffreykern.com/ is directed at the index.html file so that when this is entered into the browser, the main page will appear.
The links to the two main sections, whether they be text and/or image, are created and selected as external hyperlinks.
http://www.jeffreykern.com/triathlete/
http://www.jeffreykern.com/writer/
Clicking these links will open the first page of their respective sites.
If you do the sensible thing and trash the iWeb default navigation to replace it with a custom one, you can include external hyperlinks to the landing page and the other site in this.
The website - iWeb for Musicians - is created like this and is built on 9 separate domain files for ease of updating and publishing. The whole site is tied together with a Main navigation to get to each section which has a Sub navigation to jump around that section.
For more on navigation see.....

Can I use iWeb to create a website with visitor purchasing options?

I'm wondering if it's possible to use iWeb to create and publish a website for a small business like mine where visitors to the site can select items and have the option to make credit card purchases from the site. Obviously all the security for online purchasing would need to be there also. Is iWeb capable of that or does Apple offer a different web page software that can do this?
Thanks to anyone who can help,
jburkett

Welcome to the discussions. Not natively.

As far as I know, Apple has no s/w offerings of that sort. Bear this in mind when considering e-commerce and the MobileMe Service:
“The Service is designed for personal individual use and is not intended to be used for commercial business purposes, including, but not limited to, transacting online sales or software distribution via an e-commerce site.”
...Quoted from the MobileMe Terms of Service. PayPal buttons can be inserted into iWeb pages via the HTML Snippet window — but you may want to consider more complete alternatives such as this:
http://blog.weebly.com/2/post/2009/05/announcing-weebly-e-commerce-features.html
...You could hyperlink from iWeb to your "shop" there and there's even a way to hyperlink to it from iWeb's navigation bar.

Using iWeb to create a site uploaded to another domain via Fetch or the lik

I'm sorry for the like subject line, but I don't know what to call what I'm looking for.
I create my website in iWeb, publish to a folder, put it up on my personal domain using Fetch. (www.cynfrank.com) My domain is hosted by a company called Vario.
My question is how do I add things like a feed from my LibraryThing account that features books from my library on my site? It gives me an HTML code, but I don't know where to put it in iWeb so it works. When I got this same type of code for a video I was posting in a blog entry, I simply dragged and dropped it on my iWeb page, published, put and it worked. It was like magic. Maybe I'll try it.
Also, how do I put iTunes playlists on my site? Drag and Drop as well?
CindyLoo

Thanks for the quick reply. However, after I posted, I was playing around in iWed and stumbled onto the Widget and suddenly, like magic, it dawned on me what it does.
As for the iTunes playlist....just drag and drop. It's like magic! But then isn't that the standard us MacUser have come to expect from our computers?
Thanks again.

Hi Jim,
I give you a couple of examples that I use to create or delete indexes. They are "heavily parametrized", so they can be used for every table using any fields. Study your Help for further information on "Create Index", and others.
tmp_db.Execute "CREATE INDEX " & cur_veldnaam & " ON " & cur_item & "_tbl (" & cur_type & ")" & " WITH PRIMARY" tmp_db.Execute "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX " & cur_veldnaam & " ON " & cur_item & "_tbl (" & cur_velden & ")" '& " WITH PRIMARY" tmp_db.Execute "DROP INDEX " & cur_keynaam & " ON " & cur_item & "_tbl"
tmp_db stands for the BE-database; cur_item & "_tbl" represents the table name.

Does it makes sense to create an index on a column used for partitioning

I am new to using partitions along with index. Can someone help me with the situation below?
I have a table defined like below
CREATE TABLE FACT_MASTER
PERIODCODE NUMBER(8) NOT NULL,
PRODUCT_CD NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
DPT_CD NUMBER(3),
FACT_VALUE1 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE2 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE3 NUMBER,
FACT_VALUE50 NUMBER
PARTITION BY RANGE (PERIODCODE)
partition P1 values less than (2002),
partition P2 values less than (2003),
partition P3 values less than (2004),
This table is partitioned by range on Period code.
In a select query on this table, period code and product code are being used. I am planning to create an index to boost the performance. Does it make sense to include the period code column also in the index? I am planning to create index only for the product code column. I am thinking that the partition itself will act like an index for periodcode. Can someone tell me if this is correct? I am using 10g.

Edited by: user6794035 on Jan 21, 2010 8:50 AM

In your scenario I think it's better not to create an index on PERIODCODE because this column probaly has a only few distinct values.
In other scenarios, when in the same partition there are many distinct values of the partitioning key, creating an index can be an advantage for query performances..
But it depends on the specific context...

How can I use iWeb to create website that contains a lot of downloadable audio files?

Hi
How to use iWeb to create a website that contains a downloadable audio files. I'm uloading about 15 GB of audio files. I need to creat folders "albums" and then put the files in these folders. Any advise?
Thank you very much for your time to this
W B

The important thing is not to put the audio files directly into iWeb: if you do that then every time iWeb decides it needs to upload the entire site you will find yourself uploading all 15GB of audio files, which won't make you happy. Start by uploading the files to the server - in folders as suits you - and then link to them in iWeb.
If you want them to download rather than play, you may be able to set up an .'htaccess' file in the folder which will force a download - it depends on whether your hosting service will allow this. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/download.html
Here is an example of a simple link which produces a download (without the process described the audio file would play in the browser in a blank page):
http://rfwilmut.net/stars/dawson2.mp3
Then all you need to do is to provide a link, designed however suits you, in your iWeb page. If your server won't allow the .htaccess file then you will have to ask visitors to control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the link and choose 'Download linked file' or equivalent - not so convenient; or otherwise zip the files first, which won't much reduce their size but will force a download (and of course the recipients will have to unzip them).
If you want the files to play in a player in the page, you can use an html snippet to provide a player as described in this page (you will also need to upload a script to the webspace - this is provided in the page):

How I can create dynamically-formed requests or use native SQL in EJB?

Hi all.
I'm working around modify an example from NetWeaver Developer Studio (CarRental). I want to get ordered data from table and allow users to specify the ordering field, not in the code. EJB QL doesn't support dynamically-formed queries like "select object(b) from QuickBooking b where b.status like ?1 order by b.<b>?2</b>" so i can't passing field name as parameter into query. Creating a sorting method for every field is not good solution because I need a dynamically-formed requests.
I think using native SQL will help but I don't know how I can use SQL in EJB.
Thanks,
Lev

Force iWeb to create images instead of using text

Hello,
I recently made a site using the Travel template and it uses the font Baskerville. I noticed that on a windoze machine it is not a common font and so it substitutes the secondary font given in the code, which in this case is Times New Roman, a very common font. Therefore, I get a page using a common secondary font and no creation of an image.
Hence my question: Is it possible to force iWeb to create an image instead of using the text. Hey, I figure after 700k, what's a little more if I get the look that I want.
Thanks!
Stephen

I get to answer my own question. I found a workaround should you ever what to be sure a certain font is used and not replaced. Granted, this will add my download time but you at least can preserve the look.
Simply make any text with a shadow. But make the offset 0 and the transparency to 1 (you can't make it 0). You won't even notice the "shafow" and the text will be made into a graphic every time.

Can I use iweb to create a website i already own a domain from?

I own a computer company, TW Solutions, located at www.twsols.com. It is hosted by a web company named startlogic. Can i redesign my site in iweb and upload to the company that hosts it already? If so, how? Thanks.

Chrisw427,
Welcome to the iWeb forums.
In iWeb, when you have finished building your site, select from the File menu the option to Publish to a folder, and just select your Desktop. iWeb will generate an index.html file and a Site folder, (which contains your site), both of which will be placed on your desktop when iWeb is finished. Upload both of these, as they are, to your server using an ftp client. Tom Gewecke has given good instructions on this in these notes.
If you run into difficulties, post back and everyone here will help out most courteously.

IWEB not generating an index page

Hi,
I've screwed something up on my site, so i had to erase the files etc in public_html now when i tried to republish the site there is no index page published what am i doing wrong?
There is no index page saved on a local folder publish either.
thanks
John

Move a page to the top of the list.
iWeb will create a new index.html file when published.
Check it.
Then move the page back to its original place.
Publish again and iWeb will create a new index.html file.
Check it.
If all this fails, create an index.html file yourself. Copy/paste the code below in a plaintext file and save it as index.html.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Enter/Enter.html" />
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
Where it say Enter/Enter.html use your own Site- and filename.
