Why is RSS in iWeb creating an extra middle directory?

Hi! I am publishing my iWeb content to a folder for upload (not for use in .mac). However, when I do so, the RRS in iWeb creates an extra middle directory. It correctly places my website (as I typed it when publishing) at the beginning: http://www.evidenceforfaith.org But it adds an extra directory /evidenceforfaith.org/ in the middle so it looks like this: http://www.evidenceforfaith.org/evidenceforfaith.org/evidence/rss.xml. That extra directory is what I happened to name my site within iWeb to beginning making files. And no matter what I rename it, I get that as an extra middle directory. I don't want this middle directory in my RSS since I don't have it that way on the server. I want my main files and folders directly on the server's main directory. What do I do?
Thanks,

This is the standard format of iWeb generated URLs. The only choice you have is to change the name of your site in iWeb to something shorter or less obvious.
Or you can upload only the contents of your sitefolder to your root directory. But then you will have to manually edit the RSS file to reflect the missing sitename directory.

  • IWeb Creates Extra "Site" Directory When I Publish Using FTP

    My website URL is, http://mysite.verizon.net/eboggess. My site is "eboggess." When I publish my "site" to my ftp server at Verizon, I get the following directory structure, which includes an extra "site" directory (eboggess): http://mysite.verizon.net/eboggess/eboggess/Welcome.html. I want to get rid of the extra eboggess directory. Is there a way to publish just the contents of my "site" directory to the Verizon ftp server, so that I have a sensible web root? Thanks.

    Guess I'll have to tell him to rename his site into something really pointless, like "p", to make the url be domain.tld/username/p/index.html
    The url he gives people for his site should just be domain.tld/username, right?
    As for what appears in the browser address bar, I always wonder why that matters to anyone, but the way iWeb works, complete iWeb sites always show the site name. iWeb's ftp does not have an option to upload incomplete sites. If you want to get rid of the site name, you must manually change the site structure either before or after uploading. If you do that, any RSS subscribe links will not work. Another option may be to forward www.domain.com to www.domain.com/sitename.
    Apple can be asked to provide more ftp options in future iWeb updates via this link:

  • Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

    Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?  I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right?  If so that's a known issue. 
    There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File.  That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

  • Too Many Files in iWeb Site - Why must iWeb create so many duplicates?

    I have created a website for all of my family photos. My current hosting plan gives me 100GB space and a limitation of 20,000 files.
    The problem that I have at the moment is how iWeb creates the site and all of the required files for display. I am using the Dark Room theme in iWeb 2008. Basically, it takes the picture that you want to display, adds it to the top page, then creates a directory for that picture, and into this directory it creates and stores a micro.jpg file, a mip.jpg file, and a thumb.jpg file. So to display a single picture, you have a minimum of 4 supporting files and directories.
    Also, iWeb seems to store all of the
    I have a lot of pictures, around 3,000, so I am approaching the file quota set by my web hosting service. To resolve this my questions are:
    1) Does every theme in iWeb create all of these additonal files for displaying the pictures?
    2) Maybe I just have some preference in iWeb set incorrectly. Is there something that would improve this? I could put all of the photo albums onto a single page to reduce all of the common graphics that are being stored, but that seems a bit ridiculous to have to do.
    3) Maybe I should change my web hosting company. I have checked both my hosting company and other hosting companies to see what the file quotas are. None of them seem to list this. I am reluctant to change my hosting company only to find that the new hosting company has the same sort of limitation in place. Has anyone had issues with file quotas?

    To cut your file sizes, use the Black or the White template.
    Photo album pages don't work too well. They look good but you have to keep the number of albums and the number of photos per album fairly small if you want the page to download in a reasonable time.
    Obviously your individual image file sizes have to be reasonable.
    I turn off "Optimize images on import" in iWeb preferences and use ImageWell to reduce the size because it has a visual indicator. Try it out to see what I mean...

    Have you considered using flash to display your photos?

  • IWeb Creates weird address and folder when uploading site

    I am building a site for my company (www.jgpinc.com). I have a couple of questions. First of all, when I upload the site and go to it, it creates a new directory and the address goes from www.jgpinc.com to www.jgpinc.com/www.jgpinc.com/home.html. Why is iWeb creating a new subdirectory called www.jgpinc.com? Secondly, in the header, our company name shows up as JAMes g. palmer appraisals, inc. How do I correct the capitalization problem?
    Thanks!!
    G-

    Why is iWeb creating a new subdirectory called www.jgpinc.com?
    Because you named your site inside iWeb www.jgpinc.com. Change that to "jgp" or whatever and republish.
    Complete iWeb sites always show the site name in the browser address bar. Of course the url you give to people is still just www.domain.com. iWeb's ftp does not have an option to upload incomplete sites. If you want to get rid of the site name, you must manually change the site structure either before or after uploading. If you do that, any RSS subscribe links will not work. Another option is to forward www.domain.com to www.domain.com/sitename, if your host allows that.

  • IWeb creates folder in my public_html folder

    In Site Publishing Settings, I use FTP Server to publish my web page. let say my website is www.bbb.com and my directory/path is "/public_html"
    After I published my site, it created a folder called "www.bbb.com" in the "public_html" folder and my top website will be "www.bbb.com/www.bbb.com/welcome.html"
    why? Is this a bug or it is because of some setting in iWeb I set wrongly?
    So, every time i need to move/copy those files in the www.bbb.com folder to "public_html" in order to make my top page (www.bbb.com/welcome.html) viewable.
    Did anyone of you experience this?
    Thank you

    No, it is not a bug in iWeb, but just how iWeb publishes - when you publish to a folder iWeb creates a site folder with the name of your site on it, plus a separate index file - this is actually normal iWeb site structure.
    What you can do is firstly not name your site with your domain name, so call it something like site and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/site/pagename.
    Your other option of getting around this is to download Cyberduck for free (it is a dedicated ftp program). Open iWeb and publish your site to a local folder and then use iWeb to upload just the contents of your site folder to your public_html folder at your hosting company.
    You can also do it the other way as you are already doing and this is ditching your site folder and taking out the contents on your public_html folder at your server. Your url will then be http://domain.com/pagename.
    Be warned though that you are breaking iWeb site structure by doing this so if you need to use RSS feeds then they will not work like this.

  • When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?

    Hi,
    When and Why Do We Need to Create 2 Diff iTunes Libraries?
    Thanks.
    Ed

    There's no fast rule sayng you must, and I suspect most people only use one.
    You might want to set up a second library if your first one is so huge that it is slow to operate.  Split your media. For example, I don't listen to classical and rock music at the same time and could restart iTunes ffrom a different library when the time came to switch.
    I have a few extra libraries. One's for music I organized for a special occasion but don't really listen to myself and don't want it cluttering mine. I also have a special library for my mp3 player (not an Apple model) with its own set of files which match some in my main library but they are tagged differently to be compatible with the player's quirks.
    I could also see having a different library for files on an external drive if you have some on your internal drive too.  You might, for example, have a bunch of movie files on an external drive that you don't normally need to have plugged in all the time and don't want iTunes giving you a bunch of exclamation marks if are using it to play your music media on your internal drive.

  • Urgent Deadline to Fix PC Mess Displaying iWeb Created Site -- Please Help!

    IWeb 08 and web-design-savvy Mac users, I really need your help... and I'm on a tight deadline.
    I've designed the website promoting our group's big event by using iWeb 08; I was very troubled when I discovered tonight that there are major display problems in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows PCs. This website is essential to promoting the event and I can't afford to lose traffic because of display issues.
    Here's the site.
    www.spj.org/pittsburgh
    Can anyone walk me through the best fixes for the following problems?
    On a PC in Internet Explorer:
    1) The home page display chokes up during scrolling; there's a sort of "stuttering" effect in rendering of simple images that slows down the PC and gums things up.
    2) The layout of the center-justified text is trashed by Explorer's insertion of large blocks of blank spaces and a line return in an area where I change the color of the text for emphasis.
    On my web pages that display the iWeb-generated navigation links:
    3) The label for the final navigation link drops down to a second row, creating a ragged, poorly formatted look.
    4) If you click on the navigation link for the current page, it takes you to the home page instead of keeping you on the current page.
    None of these problems happen in Safari for Windows.
    In Firefox for Windows, I believe that only problem 3 happens.
    Explorer 7 for Windows appears to fix only problem 2.
    -Will an "optimizer" program fix any or all of these problems?
    -Can I open the iWeb-created html files in Netscape Composer, SeaMonkey, TextEdit, or any other application, change the html code to fix any of this, and save the repaired result?
    -Is there any change in the formating within iWeb that I should try that will put things right on a PC?
    Thanks for any help you can offer. I have to fix this somehow this weekend.

    Cédric,
    Thank you. I will definitely build my own navigation menu, as you described to solve problems 3 and 4.
    I'm still struggling with the decision of how to deal with issues 1 and 2 On a PC in Internet Explorer. (See below.)
    I did already update to iWeb 2.0.3 before I created the site.
    1) The home page display chokes up during scrolling; there's a sort of "stuttering" effect in rendering of simple images that slows down the PC and gums things up.
    2) The layout of the center-justified text is trashed by Explorer's insertion of large blocks of blank spaces and a line return in an area where I change the color of the text for emphasis.
    Here are options I'm considering.
    One is to take screenshots of the site's current iWeb-generated graphics, turn them into jpegs, and reinsert them into the page as jpegs. My thinking is that it would eliminate any Explorer problems with rendering png images and effects.
    Another option is to rebuild the entire site in another program, trying to imitate the look of my current iWeb-created site. The problem is, I don't know if I have to skills to properly create my PayPal online registration section, which is essential. If I do try to redo the entire site, I haven't decided to use Netscape Composer (my old method), SeaMonkey (its successor), or some other application with which I have no experience. If I do recreate the entire site, I'm going to have to be careful to exactly duplicate the individual page names, so that I don't break the links for anyone who has linked to the current pages.

    why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?

  • Calendar is creating an extra event when the event spans the week view end of week to beginning of next week.

    When I create an event in Calendar that goes from Saturday to Sunday, like my work shift that starts at 5:30 pm and ends at 3:30 am the next day, the event gets duplicated onto the next day but is seen as a single event. So if I delete the one on Sunday it deletes the Saturday one as well. But visually there are two separate events. This happens when spanning work weeks. I first noticed it because my week view was set to start on Sundays. All of my Saturday shifts were duplicated onto the Sunday. It seemed to be okay only when I switched the week to start on Mondays. But then I just went to create an extra shift I picked up on Sunday and now it's there on Monday as well.

    Ive reset, restored and this is the second phone. Thought it maybe a wonky screen that would shift it while setting dates. THe only thing I can think of is that I am syncing with google calendar, but it only happens when setting events in ios not if i do it from google website on desktop PC.

  • In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

    I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
    I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
    Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
    I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
    The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

    While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
    Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
    As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

  • How to display a music album in a iWeb created website on MobileMe

    Hi There
    I have several songs and some Music videos that make up a Music Album (mine that I have made myself do I have the copyright to them) that I want to publish on my iWeb created website (hosted on MobileMe)
    How can I get the whole Album to import. I have try dragging the things from the media side bar, I have also just tried dragging the whole album direct from the iTune Library, but no matter what I try it displays all the songs and the video as separate files and wont import them as a whole album.
    Can someone tell me how to get them as a whole album
    Thanks

    Do you want to have the visitors play each of the songs and videos? You can use a flash based jukebox for the audio files and a video jukebox for the videos. You would only have to upload the files to your server once and then link to them there. With these methods the files don't load until you select the play button thus allowing the page to load much quicker.
    Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site has a number of such examples on these pages: Music Players and Video LightBox Audio Jukebox.
