Can I customize iWeb Templates?

Can I customize iWeb templates? For example, if I use a template, can I customize the background, navigation bar text, etc...? PLEASE HELP!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The Inspector/Page/Layout pane is used to change the page and browser backgrounds.

You can use solid, web safe colors for both or your own graphic files. This may not work for some themes that have their own unique graphic files for part of their background, like the center light area of the Darkroom theme.

Can I customize XDP-templates?

When working with LC Designer you can save a common used lay-out (e.g. presenting corporate's identity) as a Designer Template (tds-file), which is very helpful when you need to create new forms in a common lay-out.
When creating a new XDP-form from the Workbench I'm also able to select a template, but it is actually only a list of paper sizes (A4, Letter, etc.).
Is it possible to extend or customize the templates presented in the Workbench? And if, how?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Kind regards,
Edgar van Waardenburg

I looked into this before and I was able to get customized templates to appear in the standalone version but not in the workbench version.

Where can I find iweb templates with a gallery on the home page so I can have events highlighted?

I am trying to build a website for a friend, they want a gallery on the front page to showcase events and photographs...when I look for templates they are so small I cannot make out if any of them have this facility..
any ideas of best place to look or examples of those they have this 'movement' on them?
thanks

Create a test site and try out different themes and layouts to see if any fit your needs. Off hand I'm thinking an Album page might be what you're looking for. Each album would lead to a photo page of images.
Or create your own. Start with a blank page, add photos for thumbnails and link them to other pages in the site that contain the info represented by that thumbnail.

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

It depends on which template you use.
You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...

Make sure you use web-safe fonts in your navigation...

Can iWeb templates be modified?

I last used iWeb to set up a travelogue in 2006. I have 3.0.4 ('09, I think).
I may be remembering why I didn't use a template before--because I wanted something I couldn't get with the templates.
Am I correct that I can't change a background or text color, or choose to center text which is flush left on an iWeb template?

Jeff, you're a prince. I've printed out your last posts & dragged & dropped the 2 samples to my desktop, from which I can then use them I was able to do the web browser background instructions. It worked! Cool.
I'm sure this will turn out to be embarrassingly self-evident, but how did you 'copy the page background image and paste it into preview'? It has no 'handles' allowing it to be selected. Nor could I locate 'Preview'.
Now trying the paper maneuver you explained, I'm a bit stuck. What do I select for 'Page Background? I now have removed the Formal Theme text boxes, have changed footer pixels to '0', and have a horizontal rectangle of the ivory paper there. How do I make it disappear so I can then replace it with the size-able box as you describe?
By the way, I noticed right off in your video was how you changed the width of the page immediately. How did you choose 900--and I forget the vertical pixels you chose but will check again. I hate how small the page content size is. Is there a 'standard' size these days for website width & height?
Again, thanks.

No-go on photo-editing and positioning of a hyperlink in IWeb template -

Dear forum. I am currently building a little site on I Web - but have had some difficulties regarding - editing of pictures and the use of Hyperlinks in text.
1) I have made the specific page on a template called :My photos. When I have pulled pictures from I Photo to the page I cant edit them by using the ADJUST button - it is like the picture editing is locked?
2) Using the same template (My Photos) I can not make - words or text to a Hyper link ?
The very top-part of this page-template does allow me to edit a picture and or make a Hyperlink - it is when I get beyond the headlines and main picture.
How can I get by these no-go things ?
Best regards J. Fohrmann
To see specific template used on my site go to www.fishmadman.com

iWeb has no HTML you can edit.
All code is in xml format and stored in theme resources in the iWeb application.
You can open these resouces and edit the xml code in any Plaintext/HTML editor.

Using iWeb Templates

I have found not only iWeb templates difficult to deal with, but also iPhotos.
Whenever I try to delete a certain saved area - a most important one - I cannot. If I select to utilize a photo template I cannot delete the photo area and when
I login to the website the slideshow puts up the template photos. This is very disturbing.
Also in iPhoto I cannot create a new folder or copy to an existing folder except the Library. If this is the case then why cannot I move photos to a newly created directory or folder after copying them to the library,
I am extremely new to MAC but totally competent with UNIX, LINUX, DOS, and all versions of WINDOWS, ( SADLY )!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Ron:
Can you give us some information about what you're using: iPhoto an iWeb version, Quicktime version, the theme and page layout in iWeb, etc.
As far as dragging a photo into an album, where are you dragging from? If you're creating "folders" in the Source pane then yes, you can't drag a photo into them. Then will only take albums, slideshows, books, calendars, cards and other albums.
So instead of creating folders in the Source pane, create an album and put the photos into it. You can use folders to further organize the albums. But albums are the primary photo container (except for rolls of course).
What saved area are you referring to? If you've selected a photo page then yes, you can't delete the section that is used to house the photos for the slideshow. If you don't want that, create a new page with a different layout, Welcome, About me, or blank. Whichever works best for you. The blank lets you completely customize the page, background, etc.

Were are iweb templates stored?

Were are iweb templates stored? And how editable are they?

The iWeb templates are stored in XML files which can be edited, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Thankfully, starting with iWeb 1.1, Apple at the very least started including "blank" templates, which probably satisfied a lot of people wishing for the ultimate in flexibility. Suzanne Boben's work is very good, though...you should take a look.
One poor man's way of making a template page is to start with a blank template, customize it to your specifications, and then save it as a custom template in your site organizer window. By that, I mean keep it as a "page" in your site organizer, but don't display it in your navigation menu by unchecking the box "Include in navigation menu" in the Inspector Page tab. Keep this "template" clean. Whenever you want to make a real page out of this template, just select it and Control-click, then select "Duplicate" from the menu. THen you can add unique information to this copy and still keep the "template" clean and safe. See how this is the poor man's custom template?

Installing Iweb templates

Hi,
I have Iweb on an Apple Ibook G4 1.33Ghz 512MB RAM laptop. It came with ILife installed and I'm guessing it's version 6. Can anyone please guide me as to how to install the Iweb templates please?
Thanks Much,
Napster16

You guessed wrong. The latest version is 3.0.4
You can see it in the iWeb menu > About iWeb. Or select iWeb and do Command-I (Info).
The iWeb themes are stored inside iWeb. To go there, copy the line below :
/Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Themes/
In the Finder, do Command-Shift-G and paste the line. Hit Return.
Right-click any theme and choose Show Package content. Open the Shared folder.
You can buy themes, or get them for free :
http://www.iwebthemespark.com/Gifts.html
Or search for it : http://www.google.com/search?q=free+iWeb+themes
And here's a dated explanation how to make them yourself :

The cool little features in iWeb templates

Hi all,
I was just wondering how to get the cool little add-ons that the iWeb templates have on my site?
For example, iWeb has scissors on one of the sites. Their are also others like.. doodles, post its, "hello, my name is" I know I can simply cut and paste, but I'm looking for additional add ons. is there a stock pile of these somewhere on the web or maybe on my mac?

You can add scrolling banner text, blinking text, mouse rollover, Fancy Zoom, Show and Hide text and many other enhancements.

Can I customize 2 different Large_product.htm?

I need 2 different displays ...
one for On Sale items showing {tag_retailprice} and {tag_saleprice}
another only {tag_saleprice}
.... I do know how to customize it.
My question is, if I customize 2 different displays ... let's say Large_product.htm (this is by default) and Large_productonsale.htm ... how can the system recognize this one? and how can asign this new template to a product?
I've made tutorials in Lynda.com and BCGurus but haven't found answer to this kind of details ....
Is there any advance tutorial that you would recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you Sidney ... I just read your reply to Carol and figured it out ....
What you would recommend if I want that only for On Sale items the original price {tag_retailprice} is shown as well as TEXT as "Original Price was:" ... "50% off" ... please take a look how I've customized this at: http://tesonline02.businesscatalyst.com/outerwear/avatar
Since this is only one Large_Product layout, I understand that I can not do that way .... any suggestion???
Thank you so much

Free iWeb Templates and other goodies?

Hey, it's me again!
I was looking for FREE iWeb templates but I haven't been able to any find free ones or great ones.
Do you know where to get them?
I was also looking for other free goodies that are on iweb, such as little doodles and pieces of paper. You know what I mean?
Do you know where to get them?
You're always appreciated :)

Always nice to hear from you.
As you, I did an extensive search (3 months ago) on Google and Ask, only to find out that there is a poor choice of great / free templates for iWeb '08.
There are 1 or 2 "user understandable" manuals on how to make your own templates, but I found it less time consuming to choose the "blank" template from a theme, adapt it myself with the tools provided in iWeb and then copy this "custom adapted" template.
I know this is not the answer you are looking for but it is the best I can provide.
Hopefully, someone else has found the gold somewhere...
Kind regards,

Can Aperture use Iweb pages?

Greetings All:
I've got several site that have been created using Iweb. But would like to generate the photo type pages using Aperture and then melt the two together.
Is it possible to import my Iweb template into Aperture so the photo pages will look like the balance of the site.
As a side note I want to do this because Aperture will make my work flow much faster and it is much more seamless.
Thanks
Doug

There appear to be two options here, I have used both on a .Mac site. The first is to use the Automator export to iWeb script you can obtain here http://www.automator.us/aperture/example-08.html. This will create an instant iWeb photo album from an Aperture export. I found it is helpful to have iWeb open as the export can hang while trying to open iWeb if it takes a long time to open (mine does). Second, if you are using the flash album export to grey box in Aperture you can publish this to your .Mac site or your hard drive and then copy. In iWeb you can assign a hyperlink to the album page. If you publish from Aperture to .Mac, the photo album will reside in your iDisk/Sites folder where the iWeb albums are in the iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb folder. You just need to specify in the hyperlink where you want iWeb to look to find your photo album.
