Blog Summary Not Displaying

I'm trying to create a podcast, but the blog summary isn't working. All that displays is the text "Blog Summary Widget". I'm using Fetch to upload my files manually to a university server, and I've checked that all files are there and permissions are set correctly. Here's a link to the podcast:
http://musicweb.ucsd.edu/cameralucida/Podcast/Podcast.html
Any ideas?

Did you delete the placeholder frame on the blog entry page? If you inadvertently did so, and even if you place another picture on the blog entry page, that picture will not appear on the main blog page.
For the picture to appear on the main blog page, you need to place the picture directly into the placeholder frame on the blog entry page, eg, via drag and drop.
To fix the problem, you will need to make a new blog entry, and copy and paste the text, and drag the picture for the blog entry directly into the placeholder frame. To fix the date of the new entry, enter the date in long format, and it will be resorted correctly in the blog entry list.

Photos in Blog Summary Not Appearing

Here's my site:
http://www.msadesign.com/msadesign/Blog/Blog.html
Notice that there are no images in the Blog Summary. This is really confounding. The image in the summary should be the same image that is ion the top of the blog post.
Here's a post as an example:
http://www.msadesign.com/msadesign/Blog/Entries/2010/6/3A_Xeric_DemonstrationGarden.html
I've tried changing the type of placement, but I do not know what else to try.
Anyone had this issue?
Michael

That's what I thought, too, but since all of the posts are without the image, I'm thinking it must be something else.
or you may not set blog summary to display the entry image place holder.
in iweb, in blog summary page... click on the entry excerpt and you get a HUD, you can select different Placement display (upper left, and a small downward triangle to the side).
iweb generates iweb:image element in the blog-main.xml (rss file), that in turn; it is used by blog summary widget to render the preview image in blog summary.
I'm hoping that you'll provide a translation here? Sounds like something I can fix?
btw, your blog-main.xml does not have any iweb:image element.
Ditto. It is the image element that is missing but how is it replaced?
the image place holder in blog entries tell iweb to generate the code or you didn't set the correct placement as I mentioned above.

Blog summary not editable

Hi Guys,
Earlier I had no problem with iWeb when trying to modify fonts, size and other issues in the blog summary pages. Now any of the part within the blue highlighted area can be changed. Enclosed a screenshot of the page.

Any idea what could be the issue? Thanks a lot for your soonest help in advance.
BR: Szimi

alright so this is where i'm at.
My problem has the exact same symptoms as the above poster.
with that in mind, here's what i've done.
tried iweb on a different user account, no change (problem is not in home folder)
took domain file to another computer, problem does not come with it (not the domain file)
took iweb from that computer and copied it to desktop of machine on which problem has been observed. problem continues to exist (seemingly problem exists outside of iweb.app package)
deleted blogsummary.iwdgt from macHD>iweb.app>content>resources>Widgets. opened iweb, observed empty placeholder box where blog summary used to be. Quit iweb, copied BlogSummary.iwdgt from iweb.app on other machine to iweb.app on my machine. Reopened iweb, problem continues. put iWeb through AppDelete, which deleted several files, but only one of which was above the user folder, and nothing noteworthy. Reinstalled iWeb from iLife 08 retail disk. Problem remains using new domain file (other domain is backed up everywhere).
At this point i fired up console on my machine and my other machine, which has a properly functioning iweb.
I compared the console logs when opening iweb on both machines and discovered this discrepancy on my machine(the one with the problem):
11/6/08 6:17:13 PM iWeb[568] Widget <BLWidget 0x17b257e0 name='Blog Summary' id='com.apple.iweb.widget.blogSummary' path='/Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Widgets/BlogSummary.iwdgt' bundle=0x17b24080> found no paragraph style named: Summary Body

now this appears to be the only difference between the console log on the two machines.
anyone have any ideas?
i am so not clean installing. I'd rather learn to code by hand.
Thanks.
I could try some interesting target disk mode stuff with the two machines...

Blog pictures not displaying

For some reason, my blog pictures are not displaying. How can I get my pictures to display next to each entry on my Jazz interviews page?

Blog server not displaying OD user blogs after restart after 10.5.7 update

I've just applied the 10.5.7 update and after reboot the blog/wiki service shows blogs for local user accounts, but not for accounts from the Open Directory (not allowed message). However all accounts are accessible if I stop and start the wiki manually by the folowing caommand in terminal:
sudo serveradmin stop teams
sudo serveradmin start teams
Is anyone else having this problem? If so, any idea how to get a fix in place?

Blog layouts not displaying

Good day to all and thank you for your time,
We are unable to get the blog layouts rendering accordingly, it seems to be a conflict with BC css and our own CSS.
Nevertheless, was hoping if anyone might have ideas in into helping us resolve this issue?
Here is the link
http://www.unilevelstudios.com/web-design-and-development/good-logo-design
I've also looked at other blog post but no resolution found, thank you for all your help.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1219155?q=blog%20not%20showing

Hi there, if you view the console you can see lots of errors trying to load files and not able to.
If you look at the path of these you can see it is looking for your functions.js for example here:
http://www.unilevelstudios.com/web-design-and-development/js/functions.js
The reason is you have your files like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/functions.js"></script>
Every script call and css and image ALWAYS needs to start with a forward slash ( / ) which means - Read from the root. Your issue is not the same as in that other thread.

Blog comments not displaying in 09

Can anyone help?
Thanks

Blog not displaying in Chrome...looks like prototype.js issue

I have an iWeb page with a blog, and the blog does not display in Chrome. If you look at the javascript console, there is an error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object HTMLDivElement] has no method 'selectFirst'
adjustLineHeightIfTooBigiWebSite.js:604
onPageLoadGlenns_Blog.js:9
(anonymous function)Glenns_Blog.html:46
onloadGlenns_Blog.html:47
window.onloadchrome-extension://aonjhmdcgbgikgjapjckfkefpphjpgma/measureIt.js:42
Googling around, this looks like a Chromium issue, but I can't find anything newer than 2008. Looking at the code (line 604 in iWebSite.js), there is this:
{oTextBoxInnerDiv=oTextBoxOuterDiv.selectFirst("div.text-content");if(oTextBoxIn nerDiv)
In this case oTextBoxOuterDiv is an HTMLDivElement, not a prototype-enhanced DOM element, so selectFirst is not defined on it. Odd, though, that this works in all other browsers. In Firegox, oTextBoxOuterDiv is a prototype-enhanced DOM element, so it works.
Any ideas why Chrome acts this way?
Thanks,
Glenn

Multiple blog summary pages

I'm creating a new website for sharing news and photos for my family. I want to use the iWeb blog for my entries and plan to do some customization of my site through HTML snippits, iFrames, etc. I've been reading quite a bit on this forum and other useful sites on how to do more with iWeb, but I can't seem to find a solution for the following problem.
Let's say I allow 15 blog entries to be shown on my blog summary page yet over time I build a site with 50 or more entries. Then at least 35 will be on the archive page and that's alot to scroll through. I'd like to have the first 15 on blog summary page 1 then the next 15 on blog summary page 2, etc. Call it multiple archive pages if you will. But I want iWeb to keep track of the blog entries on those additional pages instead of me having to create new non-blog pages and copy and paste links to my entries.
Here's an example
http://allaboutiweb.com/
Any way to do this with iWeb 09?
FYI, I know there are a lot of other blogging software and hosting sites out there, but I want to use iWeb 09 because I've already created one site in the past with iWeb so I'm familiar with it. I also have a Mobile Me account with a domain name through goDaddy, so I'm publishing my iWeb site to Mobile Me with password protection.
Appreciate the help.

first, iweb limits blog summary to display 50 entries, so you are kinda limited if you want to have a continuous blog over the years.
if you have less than 50 entries per year, you have to break your blog into the year and have a master archive page and link all archive blog(s) to it.
once you decide what to do, you can use iweb rss feed widget to display the archive as feed, but i don't recommend iweb rss feed widget because it depends on mme server, unreliable at best.
instead you can use yahoo's pipes: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
yahoo pipes is reliable and flexible, you can build your own feed that you can merge other feeds into one or keep them separate, here is my example of merged feeds:
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Entries/2009/7/25Not_iWebWidget.html
or you can tag blog entries by key words or categories, your users can narrow down the entries display with it, here my iweb blog tagging (click on any tagged word on the right side):
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Archive.html
all code is linked to my examples. to do the above, you need to know yahoo pipes, ajax/javascript and iweb inner working parts.

Is there a way of not displaying entries in the Blog based on today's date

Hi,
I'm using the Blog layout in iWeb for a calendar.
Somewhere in this discussion forum, I found how to sort the entries by increasing date (many thanks for that).
The question I have: Is there a way of not displaying entries in the Blog overview of which the date is in the past ?
Thanks

Hi Cyclosaurus,
the link you refer to (http://test.cyclosaurus.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html) seems to be broken. I can't see the script.
Can you sent me a script to automatically hide events from the past (based on today's system date) ?
please note that I use following script to reverse the summary (which i found in the discussion forum):
<script type='text/javascript'>
function reverseSummary() {
blogSummaryWidget = parent.document.getElementsByClassName('com-apple-iweb-widget-blogSummary flowDefining')[0].widget;
blogEntries = blogSummaryWidget.blogFeed.itemCount();
blogSummaryWidgetID = blogSummaryWidget.instanceID;
blogSummaryContentDiv = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + '-summary-content');
if (blogSummaryContentDiv.childNodes.length > 0) {
for (be=1; be<blogEntries; ++be) {
bi = (blogEntries - 1) - be;
blogSeparator = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-separator-template$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogSeparator);
blogEntry = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-item$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogEntry);
clearInterval(chkSummary);
chkSummary = setInterval('reverseSummary()', 1000);
</script>

IWeb 08 photos/blog not showing online + "Blog Summary Widget" error

Hello,
I recently upgraded my iLife to 08 and am having trouble with iWeb on two accounts.
1. My blog doesn't display online correctly, and instead I get the "Blog Summary Widget" error.
2. Any new albums do not display the photos.
In both cases I cannot see my menu at the top but get a black dot instead.
I have updated to 2.0.4 in iWeb but this hasn't solved anything.
I have tried rebuilding the blog but that doesn't work either.
At this point I have simply put a message on my blog saying it's down, but need to find a problem.
Any solutions? I haven't foung one on here yet.
Thanks.

Did you restart your Mac after running the updates?
Are you publishing to a server other than MobileMe? If so, the missing navigation menu is usually due to the feed.xml file not being uploaded.

Blog summary does not seem to update online

I've just updated a blog I've created for a musician friend of mine; it's been done on iweb 3.0.2 & published via ftp using godaddy: http://lauramoodymusic.com/lmm/news/news.html
However, the main blog summary which is correct on iweb, and the version published to a local folder, is not updating online. The new blogs are visible if you go to the archive, and by clicking on the RSS feed, but not from this front page... I've tried to republish all the relevant pages again, manually, but this doesn't seem to have worked either.
Help urgently needed.
thank you.

+Noticing how disorganised the iTunes Lib is, I spent a lot of time today adding and editing mp3 tag data so that iTunes would look more logical.+
+However it does not seem to pull in or update to what I have on my hard drive!+
iTunes does not read the tags until you select/play a track. It stores the tag information in its library file and this will not reflect changes made to tags with an external editor until iTunes looks at the track.
You can force iTunes to re-read all the tags by selecting all the tracks in your library, right clicking in the selection and choosing get info.
It is essential that you do nothing except click "OK" as any change you make would be applied to every track in your library.
Depending on the size of your library iTunes may take a while to complete the task.
It is always advisable to have your library backed up in case you make a mistake.

Blog Summary Page Does Not Update Picture

For some reason, when I create a new blog entry by duplicating the last one and adding new content, the Blog Summary page will not update the picture. I sometimes either have to create a new blank blog entry, or drag a different picture into the placeholder, followed by my original.
Is this happening to anyone else? I think I am going to finish out my year-long blog project with iWeb/MobileMe, then drop both! This is getting to frustrating.

Perhaps to this person:
_blog summary didn't show the pictures_.

A wise move — problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries or all comments or unable to publish, etc. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:

Blog summary page echoes blog entry but not the pic...?

My blog summary page echoes my blog entries' text but not the image file. I either get the stock photo that comes in the template, or no image at all. What's wrong?

Never mind folks...Once I submitted this, I found an identical query in the "More LIke This" box at the side of this page that gave me my answer. I have another question now that I'll pose in a new thread...

Thumbnails of images don't display in Blog Summary

I'd be grateful if someone could help me with this problem. I am new to working with iWeb and have a site hosted on MobileMe. The address is: thismomentexactly.com. On the Blog Summary page, the images do not appear despite the fact that I have ticked "show images" in the Blog Summary dialog. Thanks in advance for any help you can give....

Merci!
Yes, that does sound like it was the source of my problem. I had assumed having an image on top of the placeholder would increase page loading times. I'll change my routine now. Thank you so much and my apologies for not looking around further before posting the question!
