So how is 1.1 going now?

I've found a couple interesting things I'd like to share...

Even after the error message comes up saying there was an upload error, Activity Monitor still shows a constant upstream network usage. I waited until the network usage stopped and then manually synced my iDisk. When I went to my site online, everything seems fine. Even the newest changes are there. Weird...

Hi,

I tried the above suggestion for republishing which seemed to work pretty well too.

Thanks!

Weird. I'd gathered the source view for the old page and for the new page with its strange image problem. I had the idea that I might send both to Apple, as from what I could understand from their very dense HTML, that the image name for my main image was in the code for the RSS link which should have had the Podcast image. Or I might wait until the main 1.1 kerfuffle got straightened out, so I could ask how to alter the code myself, although this would mean that I'd have to alter it every time I uploaded the page. I would not have been a happy bunny to do so, as I specifically got iWeb so as not to have to think about code, as I do for my main site.

Today I looked in on the site and the Podcast icon is back where it should be. Now the only thing left is that my older blogs are no longer listed on the RSS page. Anyone know how to get them back?

Cheers,

Virginia

Hi Folks,

maybe this works for you, this is areally good workaround.

beyond this you have to pay attention to some things:

Every time, you create a new photopage, only create and layout the page at first and publish it before adding photos.
Then in a second step, add only 6 photos at a time and publish the site, this works really great for me. It is eayier then running through all the stuff like deleting files in the domain-file etc...

Every time you create a new blog, create it without comments and search. After you published it, you can activate comments and search, this works also good for me...

Every time you want to change multiple things on your site, publish your site after every change, and not one time after all changes has been done.

If you follow this little hints, you should be able to work with iWeb 1.1 as it is supposed to be...

Hi All

Shame my first post is about such a dog...

The furore has probably died down because it's clear that nothing is going to fix the problem until apple get off their smug derrieres and do it. Or us long suffering users do what we did to make 1.0.1 work - rebuild the site from scratch...

iWeb 1.1 kinda works and as long as you don't expect any of the new features to function and don't mind it uploading every single bleedin' page of your site after clicking ok on the inevitable error message...

It does load faster.

Now wouldn't it be good if Apple made sure that the 'domain' file didn't contain all the gigantic original images. My partner, Jerry, uses the blog and has uploaded plenty of images of our sustainable house and garden project. http://www.bellis.info He's not someone who gives a **** about computers or cars - he just expects them to function. Getting him on to a mac after years of screaming frustration with windows was one of the best presents I've ever given him. iWeb was the best way to get a website up how and when we wanted to - pity they've buggered it up twice now.

I noticed that the original tiff and large jpeg files are hanging around in there filling up the hard drive when I deleted the prepublish ...blah...plist (which has never come back)... Seems that the geeks at Apple have lost touch with people like us who just want it to work. Perhaps there should be some judicious sackings in the iWeb & dotmac departments.

I haven't had any of the uploading problems just with comments. Not the @post problem, my comments just don't appear at all. I have followed the knowledge base article about deleting your blog, disabling Arial font and recreating the blog a couple of times. This got comments working again but not for long. I'm giving up for the time being as deleting the whole blog and starting over is not an acceptable solution (neirther is switching to another template) ...especially when it doesn't work for long.

Everything else in 1.1 seems pretty sweet to me. It's odd the variety of problems being experienced by people and I think a fix from Apple is the only way forward.

I have had no problems with 1.1, but that's probably because I published for the first time with it, having just purchased the new iLife. Since I had nothing that had to transition from 1.0 to 1.1, everything went very smoothly and uploaded very fast. My site is pretty small and simple, though, with no counter, blog or comments -- just photos and a 5-second QT clip.

I still have the publishing errors, if you just leave the message there it does upload the site(s) BUT the counters are not all there, i never updates in iweb and i have not even bothered to attempt any of the "new features" in 1.1

the pages do load quick on the web, but thats the only plus. iweb has gone from being my most useful tool, to an absoloute nightmare

It has gotten quiet in recent days regarding the publishing problems. The reason for that is because people are exasperated. Publishing is still fraught with bugs, and ridiculous workaround. Everyone is awaiting Apple to fix the thing.

If you install it, you may luck out and have it work fine for you.

That is not the case for those of us waiting and furious.

E X A C T L Y !

Mabey Apple forgot to tell us that there's a SIZE limitation...although, from a programmer's perspective, (I am not one), it SHOULD STILL WORK, regardless if it's 1m or 1g. It just seems strange that a number of folks like myself are having no problems with the smaller sites.

Suhx! I was doing fine in 1.0. I saw all the noise in this forum about the problems with 1.1. So I didn't update. Then yesterday my machine did it's auto search for updates and iWeb1.1 was on the list. I thought "Apple would never leave a buggy program on the auto update list if they KNOW so many people are having trouble. They must have fixed it." I installed the update. I was wrong. Now I can't publish a thing, even after trying the work around. Really, really disappointed with Apple. I'm feeling the way I always feel any time I have to maintian my wife's windoze machine. ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH

Oh, dear... a woman dealing with a computer running windoze... oh my: that's something I do not envy you for...

(apologies for the easy joke to all computerized women reading this thread! ^_^)

Try clearing out your cache (Safari->Empty Cache) and then reload the pages you are having problems with.

Good Luck,
Joel

I haven't had a successful publish since 19th May.

HOWEVER

Just letting it upload after iWeb bugs out plus a great deal of patience and it does limp along, albeit without comments - which was the only reason I hit Software Update!

Oh well. I have several sites in my domain file, and quite a long running blog, so maybe size is a factor. That, and the measly 256kbps upstream I get from my ISP.
