Working with remote partner?

I'm constructing a website with a remote partner, that has to be reviewed by a group before uploading to the web. We both have the EverWeb app. I've put the project in DropBox. My collaborator and I can each open and work on the project (but not simultaneously of course). The group doing the viewing/checking don't have EverWeb (mostly PC guys). But they won't be involved in the actual construction of the site, just reviewing. I was thinking, as I've done with the old iWeb, I could publish-the-site to the hard drive (in the DropBox folder for instance). Then anyone, Mac or Pc, that's in our loop, could open the 'published version' in the DropBox (by double clicking the index file??) ... But I can't see an option in EverWeb to do this (publish to a hard drive). Or is there some other protocol EverWeb might suggest? Is there a way to create a 'safe' preview of the site up on the web, that is blocked from general view? As in WordPress et al. All ears, Ben |

I can offer 2 suggestions, someone else may have better ways. 1. Create a new project that is a directory with a login field and duplicate the site into the directory. When you are ready to go 'live', publish the 'real' site. 2. What I do- have another url that probably won't be searched for, add robots text to hopefully keep them away, publish to that url for the review and then publish to the real url when ready. |

Thank you Jim. Will ponder your solutions. I'm looking at your first suggestion, wondering if there is a tutorial on 'creating a new project that is a directory with a login field'. I'm still getting up to speed on things like 'directories?' Which I'd like to learn about. In fact, I'm going to look for it now. #2. I'm trying to remember how I can generate a URL (that doesn't involve creating a new domain name) ... which I suspect I could do ON the existing site, right? I could make a blind page (with its own URL) ... but can't quite figure out how I could then publish the whole site to this blind page. I used to know all this stuff. Grr. I make movies, which require an endless digital learning curve; and then every six months I make a website for a film (those 6 month gaps obliterate all kinaesthetic memory). All the best, Ben |

Go here for your answer about directories. Also check out http://everwebcodebox.com/layout/directories.html Go here for all EW videos. Try a search of 'how to generate temporary url', I did and saw a bunch of ways, but don't know if any would help you. I am using EW less than I used to. What I do is create projects and try to duplicate things I see on sites, or try to figure out an easier way to do things I see. That is how I try to stay current, plus reading these forums almost daily. Last edit 10 years ago |
