In the meanwhile, we provide some usefull explanations about IWWSP (iWeb Web Site Publisher for .MACless) !
How does it works?
-
1.First, you MUST publish you iWeb web sites in your Sites folder on your computer. IWWSP will look inside this folder for the web sites.
-
2.If your iWeb web site is named “My Web Site”, then in IWWSP, create a new site with exactly the same name.
-
3.Then fill the configuration about your web site HTTP URL (so IWWSP will be able to correct what iWeb does: giving the same HTTP URL to all web sites it handles).
-
4.Add extra files if needed (they can’t be handler by iWeb).
-
5.Select the RSS patcher if you have created a blog.
-
6.Select the Email protector if you don’t want email grabber to get your email. The visitors will still be able to send you an email.
-
7.Select the image resizer if you don’t want to upload 7 mega pixels photos to your web site!
-
8.Fill the FTP parameters, to connect to the server hosting your web site. Give the folder name on which to upload the web site.
-
9.Publish your web site with “Publish Now”
-
10.Save and close
And after?
After your first publication, IWWSP memories what it has sent to your server. So the next time, if you change only one file, it will upload only this file to the server... magic no?
That’s very very convenient.
If you have a web site not created by iWeb, just install it on your Sites folder. Then works as explained in the first paragraph. You will benefit of Image resizer, Email protector and intelligent mirroring to save time and bandwidth while updating your web site on the server.
Even more: you can manage any web site with IWWSP!
First, check that the file is really not updated (compare both local file and remote file content).
If there are different, this may happend if a problem occurs during a FTP transfer. This version of IWWSP doesn’t check FTP connection problems. You can either retry the transfer (see the apropriate button), or reset the mirror content and publish again your web site.
It may also be a bug. Try to reproduce it and send us an email with the details. We will try to correct it.
I have a problem, a file don’t want to be updated on the server
Generating Title, and Keywords, meta descriptions in pages
There is nothing to do that in iWeb... Shame !
To do it with IWWSP, just add a paragraph containing the following text to each page you want to add keywords (example) :
META-BEGIN
TITLE: Add keywords and description to pages published by iweb
KW: iweb add keywords page generator title
KW-fr: iweb ajouter mots clés générateur titre
DESC: This page explains how to add keywords to a page generated by iweb, which lacks this functionnality
DESC-fr: idem en français
LG:en
START:http://iwwsp.bzhtec.com
ALTER-fr:http://iwwsp.bzhtec.com/En francais.html
The paragraph MUST contains only the text shown above. It will be removed after processing and before sending the page to the web site by FTP.
