Can I do this in iWeb 2?

Here is a link to site I created using iweb 1 and a bit of HTML tweaking:
http://www.thirdspace.co.uk
Would someone be able to walk (and I mean walk!) me through how to achieve this in iweb 2? I am referring specifically to the edited links, and the changing of 'read more...' to other more informative links.
I have noodled around in the XML pages (blog-main.xml for example) created by iweb 2 but am not versed well enough in the syntax. The code for an example item looks like this:
<item>
<title>Example 2</title>
<link>http://web.mac.com/mikewatkinson/Site/MikeWatkinson/Entries/2010/6/14_Example2.html</link>
<guid isPermaLink="false">d832e5a6-5fe8-405c-9532-8d8327f337a0</guid>
<pubDate>Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
<description>What happens if I need to change the order? Change the date - you can delete the date here, but it stays on the main page</description>
<iweb:comment link="http://web.mac.com/mikewatkinson/Site/MikeWatkinson/Entries/2010/6/14_Example_2.html#commentlayer" count="0" enabled="0"></iweb:comment>
</item>
Presumably the 'read more...' link is now a global link for all entries and could be found on the relevant html page?
Any help gratefully recieved

Can you do this in iWeb?

my daughter has a web site on yahoo geocities, which is shutting down. she has a panel on her home page that displays different blocks of text every 10-15 seconds.

apparently the routine that does this is javascript. how to include javascript in an iWeb page?

Simple explanation of what is happening with iWeb and Mobile Me. Can anyone explain this simply and if our existing web site can be hosted elsewhere, if so can it still be updated using iWeb. Any advice very welcome

We have a website that has run successfully using iWeb and Mobile me. We understand Mobile Me is being discontinued from June. From this forum it seems iWeb also is not being supported any more. So can the existing site be hosted successfully with another provider or is it best to start again. If so any advice on options would be very welcome;
Thanks
PB

For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.

I'm having difficulty publishing via ftp to Machighway, I suspect this has to do with the fact I seperated my webpages into 3 sites in iWeb. Can any one tell me how to undo this in iWeb?

I'm having difficulty publishing via ftp to Machighway, I suspect this has to do with the fact I seperated my webpages into 3 sites in iWeb. Can any one tell me how to undo this in iWeb?

You'll have to describe in detail the workflow you're using to upload to Machighway and any messages/warnings that you get along the way. Also what version of iWeb are you using and are you publishing just one of your sites?

Can someone please please tell me if I can use something like this on iweb?

I want to create an entry page like this:
http://charlizetheron.com/
that uses flash for my son's website for his website. Is this possibble as an add on to iweb or can I use flash in iweb??? I can not figure this out!
Thanks to anyone that can help me!!!

Yes you can use it that way... maybe you could post your code as there may be another problem. The following code produces the correct result:
public static void main( String[] args ) throws Exception {
    File f = new File( "c:/bitset" );
    ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream( new FileOutputStream( f ) );
    BitSet set = new BitSet(3);
    set.set(0);
    set.set(2);
    System.out.println( set );
    out.writeObject(set);
    out.close();
    ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream( new FileInputStream(f) );
    BitSet set2 = (BitSet)in.readObject();
    System.out.println( set2 );
    in.close();
}

My iweb widgets come up as blank boxes. How can i fix this?

Every time I insert a iWeb 09 widget on to a page, they come up as blank boxes with nothing to click or drag. Can somebody tell me a way to fix this?

I'm having the same problem as Dr. Macbook, and also it is with any and all widgets, not just HTML snippets. The black translucent code entry box just does not appear, and the widget box is completely blank and transparent. Also, my navigation bar has been replaced by a bullet point in iWeb. However, when I publish my site, it works just fine -- the widgets have their content and are interactive, and the navigation bar is like it should be.
I have spent all day trying to look for a solution to this problem. Old Toad, stating the obvious doesn't help. We know how it is supposed to work, and it's not working. I have 10.6.8, iWeb 3.0.3, and just downloaded an iWeb update tonight. Still not working. I have tried repairing disk permissions and rebooting several times. I tried removing the following files in various subsets and permutations as suggested by iwebfaq.org and http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
/Users/shortname/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb/
/Users/shortname/Library/Caches/iWeb/
/Users/shortname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist
/Users/shortname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iWeb.147DCDEF-FC05-5F87-B9 A7-748EE9E6B639.plist
/Library/Receipts/iWeb--.pkg
I even deleted all those files, in addition to /Users/shortname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites2, and then reinstalled iWeb from the DVD, without uninstalling first. This approach did not work.
I tried backing up and deleting my domain.sites2 file from its "native location" and creating a new website -- still, the navigation bar is replaced by a bullet point, and widgets are blank with no black code box available.
I tried logging in as another user and under the other account, iWeb functioned properly. It even worked when I placed my domain.sites2 file in its "native location" in this other account (had to first change the permissions on the backup file before dropping it in here). However, it failed to publish from the other account -- the Test Connection seemed to succeed, but actually publishing the content failed because of an FTP error.
I tried logging in as myself again and followed this tip from iwebfaq section 2.5 in the troubleshooting page. I downloaded a "fresh working" domain.sites2 file and opened it from the downloads folder using "open with" and it rendered properly with a normal navigation bar and functioning widgets. But then I tried to put it in its native location where iWeb saves files, /Users/shortname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ and then opened iWeb, and it had the same old problems.
As the situation stands now, I can open my domain.sites2 "iWeb project file" in another user account, or from another folder in my own account, and it will render just fine. If I open it from another folder in my own account, it seems to be able to communicate with the FTP server and publish just fine, too! If I put my own website, or another downloaded domain.sites2 file, or create a new one in iWeb's native location, it has these problems.
How do we clean up this mess? It seems to be missing some resource when I launch iWeb in the normal way, but works fine if I choose a domain.sites2 file in Finder and "open with" iWeb that way. In fact, I just discovered that it can be in its native location and still work normally if I use the "open with" method. Here is a very small demonstration of the problem.
The problematic iWeb (opened the default way by clicking the Application icon which opens the domain.sites2 project from its native location)
A normally functioning iWeb (picked domain.sites2 in Finder from any location and opened in iWeb, or opened in its native location in another user account)

Can i sign into an iWeb account from a different computer

I use iweb on my laptop to edit my web pages. I want to sign into iweb on a different Apple computer in my home and work on the website. How do I do it--or can I?

What you need is a file named Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3). Copy it from your laptop to your other computer at home.
It's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Place it in the same folder on the other computer.
All the files for the site are contained in that file/package. After editing you will have to publish the changes to your hosting server.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
To open your domain file in Lion or later 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.

Can you make a playing iWeb page ?

I made a nice set of two iWeb pages as Xmas greeting & annual letter (web.mac.com/vivekawn). But I would have been more satisfied if the home page could have opened with Winter Wonderland (it is a favorite). Trying to do this has, so far, given me a way to do it as I don't want it as link to start but the music opening automatically as the page unpacks itself.
Have anyone of you done and if so, how did you do it ?
Happy New Year!

Viv,
Kyn Drake has a really simple method for doing this outlined here:
http://web.mac.com/makentosh/iWeb/zample/crab.html
(Beware of the crab... )
As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do in this manner also. 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.

When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway. Find this file and you can alter your website.
Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File. If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.

You can't open the application iWeb because it may be damaged or incomplete.

I've just tried to load up iWeb on iLife '11 and got an error message "You can't open the application iWeb because it may be damaged or incomplete" I am lost and not sure how I resolve this. Can someone please help I'm panicking as I need to update my personal webpage

If that doesn't work, you may have to reinstall as outlined on the same page.

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

Can't import site into iWeb

I just updated one of my machines to Mountain Lion as a clean install, and i installed iWeb because that's what I created my website in. I had copied the saved file (Domain.sites2) from my other computer, and tried to open it in the ML iWeb, but it won't open like it does on my 10.6 machine. What's going on? I hardly use the 10.6 machine anymore, and will be using this one more, so i need tog et this to work. Thanks

How come I can't up date my iWeb 1.1.2 to 2.0.3?

so I downloaded the 2.0.3 update from apple downloads page, and i opened the installer. but it said "An eligible iWeb application was not found in the location /Applications." even though iweb was in my applications folder. how can i solve this?

The update will only update earlier versions of iWeb v2. The move from v1 to v2 is an upgrade, and has to be paid for.
However, Apple no longer sell any version of iWeb.
You may be able to get an iLife box set from independent retailers or eBay, but if you are really using 10.4.11 as your signature says you should be careful about compatibility. The latest version of iWeb (which hasn't been updated for some years) is v3, contained in the iLife '09 and iLife '11 boxes, and this requires 10.5.6 minimum. I can't find any information on the minimum requirement for v2, and I suspect you will find it extremely difficult to purchase it anywhere.

Can my Domain Site use iWeb HTML ?

I want to get a domain name website. I would like to incorporate iWeb 08' as i design my site. Can i do this? is this possible?
how would i go about doing this? i heard with 08' you can get the html code of the site you've designed on iWeb.

If what you are wanting to do is use iWeb to create a site on another server, here are some tips:

I am trying to make a iphoto book but every time i click on a single photo or folder it opens up a new book. How can I avoid this? This is iphoto 10.

I am trying to make a iphoto book but every time i click on an individual photo (or folder) it opens up a new book. How can i avoid this?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.
