Publishing two websites from one iWeb program

Does .mac support ftp upload (I assume it does).

In which case "Publish to a folder..." which will create the necessary files on your computer and upload the website to her .mac account via ftp, or perhaps onto her idisk.

Sorry I don't know much/if anything about how .mac works.

 

.mac uses webdav and does not support ftp. But if you are logged in into an account all you have to do is drag your folder to the idisk.

I found that the best way to handle this kind of problem is to set up a second user account on the mac and edit the second website from this user account you can then publish with one click and it will go to the right place.

 

I'd use a program like iWebSites and do the site, save it, and then have her open it on her Mac and upload it from there. Another option (and I'm not sure if this will actually work, more of a hypothesis) is to set up a new account on your Mac design the site and marry that account with her .mac account until you have everything set up and then just delete the account.

 

Simple

Easy. No 3rd party software needed.

Go to user/library/application support/iWeb/
Copy and paste your current domain file
Rename the copy
Drag the iWeb folder to the dock so you can have easy access. Or create aliases from the two domain files you have now

To use your different domains, just open the actual domain file. All changes will be independent of the other domain files.

 

Good answer

atsang,

Thanks for that. I've been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem.

One word of warning. Next time you open iWeb from the dock you will find a blank template with no sign of your lovingly designed family website, which scared me half to death! You have to open it from wherever you cut & pasted it to. Simple really.

Definitely +1 on iWebSites- a great little free companion to iWeb. No need for extra sites in the dock or anything like that- and IMO an essential when you are dealing with 6 iWeb sites like I do!
