Add Someone Elses RSS feed to my iWeb Page

I would like to add a quote of someone else's RSS Feed onto my page. For example, I think it would be nice to be able to show a summary of the current weather in my town from weather.com in a text box on my page. Can this be easily done within a page created by iWeb? I know that I can add a static link to the weather.com page, but an auto updated box would be cool.
Apologies if some of my terminology is not correct, and thanks for any helpful hints!

Check this page out for a cool online HTML code generator to do just what you want...
http://p3k.org/rss/
Once you get the HTML code, you will have to edit it into your published page.html file, using the now standard method of adding external HTML...
Two things to keep in mind...1. No way to do this via iWeb directly, so it involves editing the published html files, and 2. Because iWeb republishes the html files whenever you update the your webpage, you will lose your changes and have to redo them to add your banners back.
The general directions are as follows...
1. Decide where you want your feed box and know exactly what dimensions you need.
2. Insert a text box onto your page and adjust its size to exactly your dimensions.
3. Type in some uniquely identifiable text like, "RSSFEEDHERE" without changing the font or anything else...just type it in.
4. Publish your page with iWeb.
5. Find the html file associated with your published page (either on your iDisk or in a folder depending on how you published) and open it in any text editor (like Microsoft Word, or Textedit, or anything).
6. Scroll through the html file and locate your placeholder text, e.g. "RSSFEEDHERE".
7. Replace the placeholder text with your html code and save your page. (not save as, just save)
That's it. You should see your rss feed box show up where you placed the text box.

Set up an rss feed for each iWeb page.

Is there anyway of setting up an rss feed for any iWeb page?

Hey johncali,
All you have to do is click on the RSS button for the feed or go to the link directly. Firefox will figure out that it's an RSS feed and ask you if you want to subscribe. Nice and easy!

Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new entries by email?

Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new blog entries through their email?

RSS feeds don't do that - if they add the feed to an RSS reader (including Safari or FireFox) they will see new updates every time they check: but sending them emails on each added episode would require extra programming in the actual program, which iWeb doesn't provide. You would need to have a mailing list and send out an email manually each time you add an episode.

What is the max size of a mp3 file you can add to an RSS feed?

I am working on adding a mp3 file to my website with an RSS
feed. I want to use it for a podcast. I am new to the xml language
and was using a freeware program to generate the script but it will
only let me upload a file around 10MB. My mp3 file is around 45MB.
Is this going to be too big of a file that will need to be broken
down or is there another way to do it? Does dreamweaver have
preformatted templates to make pages needed for podcasts? Thanks
for your time.

I don't understand. Why (or how) would you want to embed a
binary format in an xml file? What problem could this possibly
solve?

RSS Feeds on Yahoo Front Page/My Yahoo are no longer loading. Please help!

After "fixing" my installation of Firefox I am unable to load any RSS feeds onto My Yahoo Front Page! They are all gone. Please help me to recover these important feeds. They are my only source of News every day.

It is part and parcel of the Yahoo Front page where one can choose what media, if any, one wishes to view. No, they are not add-ons gathered from you or anywhere else. I'm surprised Mozilla does not know that, actually! I do not believe Yahoo allows RSS feeds outside of their own to be included on that Front Page/Home Page.

RSS Feed from dynamic asp page...?

I want to create an RSS feed from the dynamic database content on this page, as well as many others like it, so whenever a new database record is added to the sql server database, the rss feed is automatically updated as well with a new entry. I have wracked my brain on this for days but i believe it might be a pretty straightforward process. Any ideas...??

Need to add large (Physical) picture files to my iWeb page, best solution?

I am designing a site for my friends restaurant. When I drag and drop the image files into iWeb as instructed when you view them back through the browser after uploading they are not large enough to read properly on the web - it is a menu so there is quiet a lot of text.
Can anyone recommend the best way to show this so almost the whole browser is filled with the menu?
Many Thanks
Shaun

Yes, it is permissions.sqlite and its a sqlite file that accept SQL runs from an example add on SQLite manager. I would assume like any sqlite file you could run
INSERT INTO moz_hosts (id, host, type, permission, expireType, expireTime, appID, isInBrowserElement ) VALUES (id, "domainname.com","popup", 1,0,0,0,0,)
in a saved query of the addon: [https://code.google.com/p/sqlite-manager/wiki/ExecuteSQL]
CSV format:
"4226","gmail.com","popup","1","0","0","0","0",
smfunctions.sqlite file seems to be the place to store functions in the profile
Exmaple how to use javascript to run this is here: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/455292/is-it-possible-to-create-a-javascript-user-defined-function-in-sqlite]
More details may need a developer, please also ask on stackoverflow.com where some dedicated developers can help you further.

How do I add a Flash.swf file to an iWeb page?

I have tried to use the HTML Snippet widget, but I must be doing something wrong. I can drag the .swf file into Safari and it plays. I am sure it is the order that I am trying to do this. Thanks for any help.

Upload the swf file to your server and use the following code in an HTML snippet:
<embed src="URL TO SWF FILE ON SERVER?" width="XXX" height="XXX" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /embed>
There's an demo of it on this page: Miscitems

RSS feed with iWeb

Hi there,
Can i add RSS feed onto my iWeb site?
www.echoplexe.com
Thanks for your time.
Martin

It looks like your site http://www.echoplexe.com is hosted on a 3rd party server, right? So right now what you are doing is doing a "Publish to Folder" in iWeb and then uploading the site files to your server, right? Well, next time you "Publish to Folder" take a closer look at the file dialog window that opens. At the bottom of that window there is actually a field for you to enter your domain so that iWeb can put the RSS feed in there for you... just type in http://www.echoplexe.com/ in there and I think you'll see your RSS feed after you upload.
If this is useful information to you, please do me a favor and mark this reply as "solved" or "helpful" using the little buttons in the title bar of this reply. I would appreciate it immensely. Thanks.

How do I make sure that google reader launches whenever I click on an RSS feed icon (to add a new feed)?

Right now, when I click to add a new rss feed (using the icon up in the search bar), it automatically launches yahoo, which drives me crazy. I want to CHANGE the setting so that it automatically launches google reader. Please advise!

See http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-launch-gmail-for-mailto-links
Set the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to true on the about:config page.
Run this javascript code via copy and paste to the location bar and press the Enter key to run the code.
<code>navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s','Gmail');</code>
Do not forget to reset the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to false after you have added Gmail.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

IWeb, RSS Feed, iStore

Hi All, I am starting a series of educational videocasts. If I join .mac and post the videos on a website using iWeb, will i be able to generate an RSS link to then post then on the iStore.
I already have a blog page, could i generate an RSS from this also and how ?
Thanks

Yes that should all be possible.
You can make RSS feeds of your web pages there is an option to turn it on on the web page settings in iWeb.
You can also submit your podcasts to the iTunes Store, pointing to the link on your web site.

Downloading RSS Feed...

After updating to Safari 4, iWeb now has trouble showing the RSS feed widget contents within iWeb. I can't say for sure that Safari 4 is the culprit, but it's the only major change between yesterday and today. Upon publishing the site (to a server), the feeds render properly. This behavior is strange, and I certainly have not seen it before today. A bit more strange is that one of my RSS Feed widgets does work within iWeb, and I seem to be able to add some feeds that show up, and others don't.
Anyone else having problems with the RSS Feed widget in iWeb after installing the release version of Safari 4?

If anyone is poking around with iWeb and has a spare 10 minutes, could you try this out:
1. Open iWeb 09 and create a new page
2. Drag the RSS Feed Widget onto the page
3. Use this as the Subscription URL: feed://images.apple.com/webapps/productivity/recent.rss
4. Observe - does the feed download?
When I do this for any feed with an .rss extension, it hangs on the 'Downloading RSS feed..." message. I have noticed, though, that feeds with an XML extension seem to work fine. Is this some kind of limitation with iWeb?

Import RSS Feed

Can anybody please let me know if it is possible to import an RSS Feed into my iWeb site? I would like the news feed to appear on my site [as opposed to wanting to establish a feed of my info to others].
Hope someone can help.

Scotty ~ Try this:

...and here's some info on how to integrate the HTML into your web site:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebAlternativeHTML.html
It would be easier if you upgrade to iWeb 2 (in iLife '08) ~ then you could probably use iWeb 2's +HTML Snippet+ feature. Here's a video tutorial:
