Adding pages to iWeb

when adding page to iweb, how do i move the name of the new page off of the top of the home page? looking to have it on the bottom of the page.. thanks!

Are you referring to the navbar at the top which are links to each page in the site? If so then you'll have to deactivate (not include) the navbar on each of the pages in the Inspector/Page/Page pane:
Click to view full size
and create your own Text Based Navbar which you can position anywhere. However, there is a drawback to having the navbar at the bottom: if the page is longer than the browser's window a visitor would have to scroll down the page to get to the navbar in order to go to a new page. That's not good web page design.
However, if the pages are long then having a navbar at the top and bottom is wise.

Adding Background music to welcome page on Iweb.. any ideas? instructions?

looking to add background music to my welcome page on iweb. any easy instructions? thanks daniel malibu

Take a look at my page "source" code for some clues.
Editing published pages is as easy as opening the "raw" html code in TextEdit (preferences set to "plain" text) and applying your edits (copy/paste simple).
But once you edit these pages any changes made by the iWeb application and a new "publish" would remove your hand edited code.
To change what appears in your "Title" would only require you edit that line of code. To add metatags is the same.
The "snippet" part of iWeb 2 is always in the "body" part of the page code. Title and custom icons are part of the "head" tag code. Javascript code could be in even more parts depending on its function.
None of this is for the faint of heart or for those that don't understand the basics of html page code.
Open your published iWeb 2 page with a text editor and edit the "title" tag code to change the displayed "name". To add a custom icon requires you upload a 16X16 image file (the size of the icon in the browser address bar), upload that file to your server and then use that URL in the edited html code for your page. These are part of the "head" tag code.
Hope this helps.

Adding Powerpoint to iweb page

Can I add a PowerPoint lecture to a web page in IWeb?

You can save your Powerpoint presentation as webpages.
Put the file & folder with its content on the server and determine the URL to the first page.
Then display the slideshow in a HTML Snippet with the <iframe> HTML element.
<iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Or save the presentation as images or a movie.
See what suits you best.

Adding a "downloads" Page to iWeb?

I'm a middle school teacher who currently has an online website through .Mac homepage. I'm ready to switch everything over to iWeb.
What I really need is a page that allows parents & students to download homework assignments I post on a regular basis. This is covered through my homepage now...but what do I do about it with iWeb?
IF this is not possible, could some Apple guru please tell me how I can use my start page in .Mac to link to my new pages in iWeb?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Well, it's been a week since I started playing with iWeb, and being able to compare it to my up-and-running .Mac homepage.
My site on .Mac was put up as an extension of my classroom. Since most are familiar with (and have probably bookmarked) my original site, I won't get rid of it all together this school year.
I have messed around with iWeb where I finally published a new site, have worked on 'classroom' blogs, and recorded 2 podcasts with GarageBand 3! And yes, I think I'll definately throw a link on the new site to get them to the old site.
F.Y.I. I don't want parents or students to download everything in my public folder, so I will keep the present format I have, where you go in and decide what visitors can see.
I imagine that Apple will eventually discontinue the homepage sites down the road. I also see them coming out with a update to fix any common 'issues' that people have had.... I personally hope they come out with more choices for templates as well.
Hey, it's all good when it comes to Apple and their suite of programs. They still kick some major technological butt over that Windows OS!
Once again, thank you all that replied.

How long does one page in iWeb go?

Hi,
I currently have a website up on freewebs.com and now I have my own domain name and am working on making a new site with iWeb and just started using it the other day.
When you are working on a page within iWeb lets say the Welcome page, are you limited to one page or can you keep on going within that page so it scrolls down. Let's say my first page is really 5 pages do I just keep adding stuff to that first page and it will automatically scroll when someone opens it in their browser (provided they click the down arrow)?
What I'm really asking is, is their a limit to how long your first page is? I hope this is making sense here.
S.

I don't think that a page in iWeb is limited in it's length. There maybe a limit that apple has placed on it, but it is well past 6000 pixels. You can change how long your page is by opening the inspector and clicking on the second tab from the left. This will open your "page" dialouge. Edit the length of your page by increasing the number in the "content height" field. About the automatic updating of the length in your page; that does happen, but only when you move certain things. iWeb will not lengthen your page when you keep adding more stuff into it. It will increase the length, however, if you litterally move the position of something that is a default item in your selected template. For instance, iWeb will update the length of your page if you move the position of that default text field (wich is in French or somethinng) beyond the current page's "page length" limitation. You can see more clearly the boundaries wich you've set for yourself by changing temporarily the "browser background" color (also in the "page" dialouge in the inspector.
One other tip: (this is not at all related) Personally I don't like the look or configuration of the links in Apple's provided navigation menu. I choose not to display the nav menu and I use my own. It takes more work - you have to worry about style and all of that in addition to coordinating all those links. so let's say you use a tab configuration like i do. I have five tabs, and I have about 40 pages on my website. That means I had to make 200 links just for my custom nav menu. Coordinating them to make sure each one is correctly configured is another thing. I think it's worth it though. - And the copy and paste technology invented 3 billion years ago has been used more and more by me to complete that task! check it out if you like at DesignNashville.com.

Sparse templates (when adding page types)

I'm not sure if this has already been posted in the forum, but I discovered it as I dealt with the growing number of templates, v1.1 templates, and custom templates that my iWeb now has. Also helps stub out the v1.1 'Blank' page type for older custom templates.
When adding templates to iWeb, iWeb seems to like it's TemplatesInfo.plist to contain EVERY page type for EVERY template. However, as I'm developing a new template, I sometimes like to have just a few page types defined... or, sometimes I create a simple template for a simple site that only has a couple of page types.
So, when I am defining the new entries for each template within a page type, I specify a bogus filename (I use "Unavailable.webtemplate") for any entry where I don't have that page type / template combination. For example, if my "DogDays" template only has a Welcome and Blog page type, then in every other page type the DogDays template's entry will use the bogus filename.
Pictures help make this much more clear, so here's a page that I posted to remind me how to add a new page type... I use the bogus "Unavailable.webtemplate" in the example:
http://web.mac.com/dovinci/iWeb/dovinci/New%20Page%20Types.html
It also shows what the "page picker" in iWeb looks like.

Hi,
The design for a calendar date box is determined by the "formRegionBody" class style (at least according to theme 12). You, therefore, need to update this.
In theme 12 ("Blue"), this is defined in the css as:
.formRegionBody {
font-size:12px;
font-weight:normal;
color:#285577;
background-color:#D7DFE6;
border-left:1px solid #BFBFBF; border-top:1px solid #BFBFBF;
border-right:1px solid #FFFFFF;border-bottom:1px solid #FFFFFF;
You can either update the css or add the above in a style tag on your calendar page (adjusting the colours as required).
Regards
Andy

Publishing new pages on IWEB

I have created a website and its all worked fine and I have published it to the web. However, when I added new pages and deleted a page in IWEB and went to re-publish the site, the new pages haven't published.
Does anyone know how to get the new added pages published onto the live site?
HELP!!
Thanks

First, after you upload changes to your site make sure you empty the browser cache before visiting the site.
If you have done this then the question is - where are you publishing your website and how are you uploading the files - iWeb FTP or another FTP application?

How can I get a song to play automatically on a web page ? iWeb 1.1.2

Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

[JS CS3] Page side when adding pages

Hello all,
I am using a script to remove oversets by adding pages with linked text frames to the end of the document. When I am done removing the oversets, I check to make sure the document ends on a left page; if not, I am using the code below to add an extra page. However, the page ends up as a second right hand page right next to the previous one. How do I ensure that the page I add is a left-hand page. Thanks in advance.

// Set a variable for the active document.
var oDoc = app.activeDocument;
// Call a function to remove the oversets
// Make sure the document ends on a left page.
if (oDoc.pages[-1].side == PageSideOptions.RIGHT_HAND)
AddPageAndLinkedTextFrame(oDoc);
function AddPageAndLinkedTextFrame(oDoc)
var oPage = oDoc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER,oDoc.pages[-1]);
var oTextFrame = oPage.textFrames.add();
oTextFrame.geometricBounds = GetPageMarginBounds(oDoc,oPage);
oTextFrame.previousTextFrame = oDoc.pages[-2].textFrames[0];

in "standard" document - without page shuffling, etc. - you can do something like this (VB):
if mydoc.pages.item(a) mod 2 then
' right page
else
' left page
endif

Is there a way to password protect a photo page in iWeb?

My website is open to whoever wants to look at it but I do photography work for clients and would like to password protect their photos. Is there anyway I can password protect just my photo gallery page in iWeb? Thanks!

If you publish to a server other than MobileMe you can password protect any directory - either by using Webshell or via the .htaccess. If you use the latter method, the data can be compiled using a generator....
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/
MobileMe users need to create a new site for the protected content. This site can appear to be part of the main one if it is included in a text based navigation as an external hyperlink or by using a snippet code with the default navigation. This was answered by Cyclosaurus in this topic....

First do the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

How to redirect a page on iweb

Hi I have an online store @ cafepress that I built with them..Is there a way to create a page on Iweb that visitors click (the tab) and are then taken to that specific page or is there a way to embed that page into an iweb page....any help would be appreciated.

You can make an external link for taking visitors on that page or you can embed that page in yours through an iframe but that doesn't work very well so I wouldn't recommend you to do that.
Reagrds,

Adding pages to a document

I have been using the following code to add a page to the document.
Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->AddNewPage();
It has been working fine in CS3 and CS4. However in CS5 (mac), it is inserting pages. So in a 2-page document, any objects that were on the 2nd page, are now on the 4th page in the document. And the newly added pages become the 2nd and 3rd page.
In previous versions, all the new pages were added at the end of the existing pages, so any objects that were on the 2nd page, stay there, and the new pages are the 3rd and 4th page.
Any ideas?

Dux,
Insert a Section Break at the beginning of the first line of the document to insert a new page at the top of a document without upsetting the alignment of text and graphics below. The Page numbers will update below, but the design will be intact. Be aware though that this may result in your needing to copy Header and Footer details to the new first Section. If you build a document in the normal order, Section details are inherited by succeeding Sections, but when you work backwards this doesn't happen automaticallly.

Adding pages to pages

I used a template and modified it it's 2 pages. I can't add a third page. I found no documentation re adding a page so I assumed that if text flowed beyond the second page a third page would be added. I even pushed a picture into the non-existent third page and it disappeared. Any suggestions?
PS. The original flyer called FLYER is flawed. I called Apple Support because when I tried to email my revised FLYER template, onlyvone page would be as an image even though I chose PDF. Other templates emailed OK. So adding pages may be flawed also n

Yeah, I love how it's so much easier than the old OS9 days of having to put the fonts there yourself. More info for those looking at fonts, I've found that when given the option to download the Windows or the Macintosh font, downloading the Mac gives you a .sit file a lot of times. Instead, I download the Windows version (almost always a .zip file) and that works fine.
Given the option between TTF and OTF, always go with the OTF one

How do I create sub-pages in iWeb?

Hi, How do I create sub-pages in iweb like it does in this website
http://www.e-alliance.ch/index.php?id=405
with all the main menus "about us", "advocacy capacity", etc?
Thank you for your help!!!
Boaz

To create sub pages, just ensure that the main menu item is in the main menu and then for the sub pages themselves, ensure that they are NOT in the main menu and you link back by creating links instead.
For example, you could use Staff as a main menu item, so Staff would be in the main menu and then descriptions of different staff members would be underneath, but not in the main menu - they would have separate links that you create and then hyperlink.
If you want to make drop down menus in iWeb, as in the site that you linked to, you can't do this directly in iWeb itself. You have to make it and then upload various css files to your web host and link to it in iWeb etc. It is quite a complex task to create drop down menus in iWeb. If you want to do that, then I would suggest that you use a different app instead - take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.
