Viewing Duplicate Site

Duplicate Site



User: Roddy 13 years ago
There doesn't seem to be any way to duplicate a site - at least not one that's 100% successful.

I tried duplicating a project file and rename this duplicate in the projects window. It seemed to work for a while with the two sites maintaining their separate identities.

After publishing, both sites reverted to the same content - i.e. that of the original site. There doesn't appear to be a way to change the ID of a project file to one that is recognizable by EW.

Duplicating a site is pretty much essential when your site grows and you need to divide it into sub sites. Its a lot quicker than rebuilding or launching two versions of the app and copying and pasting from one to the other.

Also, running two versions of an app is not recommended - especially for beginners.

It is one of these techniques that was used in iWeb to do stuff that the app was really designed for so I don't know if it is appropriate when the vast majority of people probably only build one site and not too many get to creating 100+ pages.

I was just trying it out to see if it could be done so I wouldn't put too much priority on this unless anybody else is chomping at the bit to do it!

Duplicate page. I use it all the time in Iweb.

@Dan: Roddy was talking about duplicating an entire site. You can duplicate a single page in EasyWeb.

I knew that. I guess I was on my second cocktail at that time. <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
