Minha versão do iWeb 09 não tem a opção “publicar em uma pasta” no menu ARQUIVO. Apenas “publicar alterações no site” e “publicar site inteiro”…

Stew,
I have the same problem with updates happening to all my sites when I just want to post one new one. Did you ever figure a way to run around this?

When I upload, the process stops and I get the error message:
Error uploading the files to bluehost.com
curl returned error number 7.

ciao
io ho un problema con iweb
ho impostato tutti i link tra le pagine e mentre la prima volta che ho pubblicato il sito su una cartella i link tra le pagine erano attivi, ora quando visito il sito pubblicato sulla cartella non posso navigare tra le pagine….
Non so quale possa essere il problema.. tu per caso ne hai idea???
grazie per l’aiuto

ugh… anyone no how to post code here that will show up as text… and have it not become intergraded as pat of the formating of the post?

Here is the patch (simply paste over the first few lines on html(ish) code of each page – up to the head tag… not over the tag, just everthing before it):

…and you have to do this cut/paste on the html page after it’s been uploaded the the web (through your hosts control panel -> edit source function – AND if your pages upload to the server as blank documents… then you’ll need to copy paste the code from your locally saved pages (the entire page source) to the copies that are on the webhost… then apply the patch).

(Please test this first before handing it over to your client… I’d hate to look bad, in making you look bad, if it doesn’t work for your project…)

Seems like easy work, but when you get into the auto generated pages like archives of blogs and photo galleries, then you begin to see the pain perdue that you’ve got on your plate.

It’s a shame that W2W (Easy iWeb Publisher) won’t work as advertised… maybe there are basic requirements that we need to look for in a hosting company – something that Easy iWeb Publisher requires that some (many) hosts don’t provide.

Hello Aaron, thank you for the reply. That is a very strange problem that iWeb is causing. If you don’t mind to post up the patch, I would greatly appreciate it. It looks like it may be easier for my client to just host with a .mac account, which is what i’m assuming is how they programmed it. So someone creates a website in iWeb, and then gets frustrated trying to upload it somewhere else and then they have to migrate over to .mac… Just another way to make money I guess I wish there was a better fix, but if the patch is all that will work as of right now, I will send that to my client and tell him the procedure. Thanks for your time and help!

… still not working. I had found a ‘php patch’ for the header portion of the (x)html code… as apparently this error is one that stems from php pages. I don’t know enough about coding to be able to answer why a page editor creates xthml, saved as a html file, that creates a php errors… hmmmm.

The patch gets copied and pasted over the xhtml portion of code on each page header – actually it’s just a snippet of php.

This works… but the cut-n-paste has to occur of every single page of the website… I got tired of this route really quick… especially since this step would be required every time any portion of any page gets updated in iweb.

When I get home I can dig out the patch… and post it here if that’d help anyone.

Has anyone figured out how to get past the problem described by Mark Ostrom and Aaron Dobbin? I have a client that is trying to upload their iWeb site to my server and is having the same issue… However upon downloading the files to my computer locally, the files will open and display correctly, but once they are uploaded onto the server, they do not work. Just blank white pages… Any help is appreciated!

I had the same issue… so I opened the html file that was generated from iweb on my harddrive, copied and pasted the entire contents of the local file to the uploaded file (via the website control panel -> edit function… and now I am getting a “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/*******/public_html/index.xhtml on line 1

“

PS the FTP upload goes fine, no problems. It’s when it all arrives it opens a blank page.
