Blogging, Podcasting, Slide-shows etc... on external URL

Is it just me, or is there an issue with publishing a site to an external URL from iWeb?
In my case the site I have created works perfect on .mac account, works fine on my desktop when published to a folder, but when uploaded to an alternative hosting provider, looses certain funcationality, namely blogs, and podcasts (in my case) and slide shows (as reported by others here).
Is there certain scripts, softwares that we need to install at the server side?
Personally I have got the rss feed working on podcast after editing some xml and html files (nothing major, only addresses).
I suspect we need pool together, and determine what we need to install on the our servers, and develop a tutorial!

Check out this support site about using two monitors, since that's what you're doing when you're projecting:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202351
You can either set it to "mirror" or arrange the monitors side by side. Then when you want to show the working window on your projector slide it in the direction you set as the second monitor. Many teachers will do this to show a video or powerpoint to their class while working on another document or answering emails.

IWeb 08 blogging with slide shows

Help!
I am using iWeb 08 in a fairly generic way. After seeing what her sisters have all been able to accomplish with blog sites such as blogger.com she wants to be able to include a slide show in her blogs. 2 questions:
1. I have figured out how to export photos from iPhoto to quicktime. It creates a simple but usable slideshow in .mov format. I then open iWeb, click on the "entries" screen, create a new blow, then drag/insert the quicktime movie into the "placeholder" image to replace it in the blog. The problem is that when i go to my website, which opens up to the home page that shows all of the recent blogs with the most recent one first, the embedded quicktime file doesnt play. It only shows the first frame. When i click on it, it takes me a page with just that one blog on it, and then the mov file works, and i get my slideshow. What do i need to do make the .mov slideshow work in the home page. My wife wants the slideshow(quicktime movie) to work on the main page...).
2. Second question. The quicktime slideshow is pretty generic. Sites like Picturetrail let you create pretty cool slideshows (flash files i believe) and then embed the html in your own blogsite ie blogger.com etc. I played around with embedding the html in iWeb and couldn't get it to work? A) can i embed a flash html in an iWeb blog, and B) will have the same problem of it not working on the homepage screen..
Sorry for the long post. Huge brownie points if i can get it to work, not to mention less grief for switching to a Mac
Thanks for your help!

I have batch renamed all my assets, deleted all my slideshow thumb nails and replaced them so none of the images in my slide show have the same name as other assets anymore. I am sure this is what caused the problem. I am about to reupload my website, so you won't be able to see the problem anymore (I sincerely hope).
The problem wasn't always reproducible. To be able to reproduce the bug you need 10 different slideshows (all with images called page_1.jpg, page_2.jpg etc with more than 50 pages in some of the galleries, and then you have to upload the slideshows, make changes to the website,upload again, then make more changes to the website, then go to all the galleries one at a time with the thumbnails visable then uncheck the show thumbnails box for all the different slideshows and upload again.

Slide Show ERROR, Internal software\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\.cpp Line 217

I'm putting together a slide show DVD. There are a total of 7 slide shows containing 480 pictures. All pictures are jpg's about 1000X1600 pixels and 500KB-700KB each. I have 3 menus for navigation. Not all of the chapter menu buttons point to a "slide show", some of them point to a picture inside certain slide shows according to my client's requests. (example, slide show 1 contains 70 pictures. Chapter 1 points to "slide show 1" Chapter 2 points to "slide show 1 photo 50"). All slide shows are linked so that when the first slide show is over, it will automatically "end action" to the next slide show etc... All my settings are typical. NTSC 4:3 SD 720X480 progressive.
There are NO video files in my DVD at all. No timelines at all. No audio at all.
The Symptoms/problem that I'm getting is this, when I try to Preview my DVD and ALSO when I try to build my DVD, the build will go through and "build the slide shows" then after it does that, this will come up
I've read some of the previous posts (one of them is in French for cryin out loud. Had to use Bing translator and it sounds all weird). What I can gather is this,
Re: internal software error: .\Vobulator\BlockPlanner\BlockPlanner.cpp, line 217
I found out it was due to selecting an image file as the video layer
in a menu, causes the error everytime. I just paste the image in with
'edit in photoshop' instead now. But thanks."
Another person said just about the same thing... The only problem is, I have no idea what this means. I don't know what it means to "select an image file as the video layer in a menu..."
Hardware/software is as follows:
custom build:
i5 processor (4 core) 2.6ghz
8 GB RAM 1333MHz
300GB C: drive (2X150 GB 10K RPM Raptors)
1.2TB D: drive (2X7,200 RPM 640GB WD's)
Burner is LG Super multi
secondary burner is Sony Commercial Blu-Ray burner
Video card is Saphire Build (Radeon 5450 PCI-E 16X)
Windows 7 X64 Pro
All Adobe is CS5 Production package.
If I'm leaving anything out, please let me know.
HELP! and Thanks. I'd really love to fix this without rebuilding the whole DVD. Take long time.

Saving a slide show when catalog runs from flash drive

A little background - I manage two separate classes of students who use the same laptop with PSE8. Each student has their own flash drive to save a custom catalog for the PSE8. Each time students open PSE8 they load their custom catalog. All image files are saved onto the flash drive. We have been using custom catalogs because our computers have Deep Freeze installed. This system has worked well for images.
When saving a slide show there is no way to specify where the slide show should be saved. I assumed that the slide show would save to the catalog which is sitting on the flash drive. Unfortunately, this is not the case. How can I save a slide show on a external flash drive? I want students to be able to save and be able to reopen their slideshows.
thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Right now,I am looking at my current PSE 7 install on Vista. There is a .psess file type which contains slide show project information. I suspect that this might be the file you are seeking. And I think this file exists with the same purpose in PSE 8.
For PSE 8, you might find those files under a folder structure of
..... \Elements Organizer\Catalogs\name of the specific catalog\projects
I desginated the dots at the beginning of the folder structure because they could be different depending on what version of Windows is running and potentially even other installation choices specific to that machine.
Therefore, you might try searching for the .psess slide show project file type.
Note 1: I am not sure v8 will place the project folder and the .psess files in your case where you have used a custom location for the Catalog that is on a flash drive. Please post back here with the location where you do find the files
Note 2: I suspect that if you are teaching syncing to photoshop.com, you might also need to be concerned about the location of the syncdb folder. My guess would be that it is near that project folder. If you do determine the syncdb location, please also post it back here. Thanks.

Blog & Podcast pages link to dead URL Page

I've published my new website to a folder, uploaded the data to a non .mac website. Everything works fine, except the blog and the podcast. The blog and podcast main page both appear, but when I click on a story or media selection, I get a URL not found. Checking my site with an FTP client, I can see all the files. However, no matter what I do, the links always go to a dead url page and states Not Found. I find it odd that the whole site works but the blog and podcast archive.
Any work arounds or suggestions?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.6 G5 2gig Ram

Oooooh but URL length does make a difference. Thanks for your help.
I did fix one podcast, but what an undertaking. See link:
http://www.cops-clan.org/web/Podcast/D7CDDCDEAD27.html
Now I must rant:
Alpha-numerical URLs automatically generated by iweb for the blog & podcast archives are to long for some non .mac websites. This causes a Not Fond error message. Since I bought iweb for its simplicity, this software cannot fix the inherent problem either. What I have to do, is use Adobe GoLive 6 to shorten the automatically generated URL number strings of all my blog messages and podcasts. However, I'm still not done. I further more have to go into each blog & podacst HTML file and shorten all the links found there too. Quite an undertaking just to post a message. On my other website located on the same server, I run a Serendipity Blog which runs trouble free. Also, the Serendipity Blog is free and has more functionality.... Go figure. Since all I wanted was a simple cookie cutter website and a no fuss blog, the work around is not worth the effort. I think I will have to dump iweb... this is very disappointing.

Providing external url for the fqdn for webfeed returns error in eventlog that shows internal url is being used - how to change to the external url?

I've got my Rdweb accessible on both my internal and external network by using split dns locally to resolve the external url (remote.domain.com/rdweb) to resolve and everything works fine. However users don't want to use the rdweb interface (as it is slower
than just clicking on a rdp shortcut.
Following the notes at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14488.distribution-of-remote-apps-and-desktops-in-windows-server-2012.aspx - I've tried to set up the webfeed on a Win7+ machine but when I enter the external url that
is protected by an SSL cert the eventlog shows that the internal address is being used and it doesn't match the certificate. - "There is a problem with this connection's security certificate.
The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.
Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept data you send to the remote computer.
Windows cannot continue setting up this connection. Contact your workplace administrator for assistance.
Connection name:
Connection URL: https://internalservername/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx
How do I set the servers to use the external address rather than the internal one - i'm assuming it's similar to exchange's
Set-webservicesvirtualdirectory command but I can't find the equivalent command documented anywhere.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please check below mention point.
• Create a relevant DNS entry in the mentioned zone to point to the RDS environment’s internal IP address
• Create a relevant DNS entry in external DNS to point to the firewall which is publishing RDS’s external IP address
• You can use the below mention script to change the FQDN of the RDP files provided by RD Web Access / RemoteApp and Desktop connection feed.
Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment

Apart from this, also check the settings under; IIS in RDWeb Server as per below mention path.
Expand the default Website >Pages >Application Settings >DefaultTSGateway >
Enter the external address (FQDN) of the RD Gateway in the Value Field.

Clickable slide show with external SWFs

Hi... I would really apprecaite some help with the slide show please.
I have a slide show that loads 3 external SWFs. (The External SWFs have buttons and action script of their own as well )
I've gotten the SWFs to load and to switch automtically as well as on the button Click (going to next SWF in array). What I would like to do is the following:
- Have the buttons 1,2 and 3 go to respective SWFs (and not just a next button option)
Also, as far as transitions (just basic fade in and out) is that something I should do within the external movie Clip?
Thank you very much I appreciate all the help. Here's my code:
// Array of external clips to use. Variable index refers to next clip to be displayed.
var clips:Array = ["page1.swf", "page2.swf", "page3.swf"];
var index:int = 0;
// Stuff to load swf files
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);
var thisMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(thisMC);            // Add empty MC initially so the nextClip function can be generic
// Removes old MC and gets the next one, waiting until when it has initialized beore adding it to the stage
function nextClip():void {
    thisLoader.load(new URLRequest(clips[index]));
// Tell AS that the loaded file is a movie clip and add it to the stage.
function doneLoading(e:Event):void {
    stage.removeChild(thisMC);
    thisMC = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
    thisLoader.unload();
    thisMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, runOnce);
    stage.addChildAt(thisMC, 0);
    thisMC.gotoAndPlay(1);
// When thisMC has finished - the next MC starts
function runOnce(e:Event):void {
    if(thisMC.currentFrame == thisMC.totalFrames) {
        thisMC.removeEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME, runOnce);
        index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);
        nextClip()
// "Next button" just calls a function that goes to the next file name (mod the number of files in the list)
MovieClip(parent).bttn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNext);
function playNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
    nextClip();
    index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);
Thank you!!!

Have you ever successfully saved anything to that external drive? My first two thoughts are that the drive isn't formatted for the Mac or that you don't have rights to save to the drive.

I just created a slide show with iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Air. How do I save this to a DVD on my external drive so that it will play on a DVD player?

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

IPhoto slide show; Photoshop issues with external keyboard

I have an external keyboard and an Apple Cinema Display connected as peripherals to my aluminum 15" PB. The keyboard is connected through the Apple Cinema Display. When I disconnect the keyboard to take my PB on the road, I cannot view a slide show in iPhoto nor can I use some photo editing tools in Photoshop. Any ideas as to how I resolve this issue?
Thanks; it took me quite a while to identify this problem.

I've asked the hosts to move this topic to the iDVD forum as that's where you'll get the best portential solutions to your questons. It can be done in iDVD but alternatives have been discussed in the iDVD forum many times.

I just remembered I have a couple of screen snaps online to explain how
it's done:
1. place your base image and name it in the inspector
2. from the smart objects palette grab the head action item, the one
with a question mark in its upper, green half - the 2nd one from the
left. Drop that into the pages head section.
3. in the inspector set the action to run OnLoad and select the base
image that you named in the first step and set the other parameters.
This was done in the days of GL6, but not much had changed in GL CS.
Anyway you might also refer to GL's online help. It describes how to set
up all the actions that ship with GL.

Posting iweb to an external site--slide show

My wife is considering switching from a pc to a mac. She already has a web hosting site where she maintains a web site. We understand that we can use iweb to create and post the her html to this domain, but, without the enhanced slide show functionality. Does this mean that there is NO slideshow or that some of the functionality (the enhanced part??) is disabled?
Thanks
Steve

There is NO iWeb slideshow at all when not hosted via .Mac. There are alternative ways of doing slideshows however, as discussed in this thread...
