A script to convert an iWeb site into a template
Authored by: ephramz on Mar 05, '06 11:39:13AM
Ah, thank god! Or thank Kesmit for putting this together. This was a sorely lacking feature in iWeb, that should've been in v 1.0, but will hopefully be in 2.0.

Works quite well once I put a link to my iWeb installed in a non-standard place. The script assumes it is in /Applications so if in the terminal you do


cd /Applications
ln -s /whereever you have iWeb stored/iWeb.app .
it should run fine.

One thing that didn't quite work with the script, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to do, is in trying to create a dateless blog (since the blogs give much nicer picture shows, and the only apparent way to reveal the comments of iPhoto's images) I tried to make a blog template with the text in the date field of he entry deleted, turned to white, and completely transparent. After creating a template from this and then making a new page from it, it removed the date (or at least made it invisible) from the actually entry page, but it was still completely visible on the archive and main list page.

Thanks again Kesmit!
