Comments feature for iweb

I have created a website using iweb and it includes a blog page that I share with many of my friends. I was wondering if any one knows if there is a way or feature I can add to allow people to leave comments about my blog postings. Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions.
If you publish your iWeb site to MobileMe, via iWeb's Inspector "Blog & Podcast" panel you can set up your blog page to allow comments.
If you don't publish your iWeb site to MobileMe, iWeb's commenting feature is unavailable. Some people have managed to link their iWeb site to an independent commenting system, but with iWeb's blog being generally unreliable, I wouldn't recommend trying to do that.
Instead, I would suggest you consider blogging using another system such as this:
http://www.posterous.com/faq
...You can hyperlink to your Posterous blog from your iWeb site and Posterous allows creating a blog entry via email as well as its web interface. Plus there's the usual commenting capability and comment alerts for the account holder.

  • Addings Comments Feature for articles on site

    On our site we have feature articles posted every month. My
    boss asked me to add a link below where visitors can add comments
    or start a discussion... Are there any ready made/off the shelf
    product i can purchase?
    Or can someone guide me to build this feature on my own? Each
    article can be connected to a separate comments/discussions etc...
    Any help and guidance would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance
    JT

    Step 1 - add a table to your db to store them. Make sure it
    has a foreign key reference to the articles.
    Step 2 - write a web page to allow people to type their
    comments.
    Step 3 - write a cold fusion template that checks these
    comments for malicious code and such, and inserts records into that
    table you created.

  • I found more features for iWeb

    Here's just some of the things I've been able to do thanks to many on this forum as well as a little research of my own. All of these features are available on my website, http://www.iWebTricks.com and I even show you how you can do it on your own iWebsite:
    -Changing the color of Hyperlinks
    -Creating a rollover text info box for Hyperlinks
    -Adding a Paypal button to your site
    -Making a new window pop-up when you click a link
    -Flawlessly updating your iWebsite to .mac
    -Adding a Guestbook and Vote page w/ e-mail feedback
    -Advanced stat counter
    -Changing the size of a Slideshow window
    There's more too!
    I pretty much made this website for people on this forum who, like me, have spent too much time looking for what it is they wanted to find so I've narrowed the tips down to the most useful ones and put them on a site. Hope you likey.

  • "Submit a review" feature on iweb site?

    Is it possible to use a service to allow a "submit your review" type of service to iWeb? I'm interested in allowing others to utilize a review-based system to build a sort of online reputation...any ideas?

    That would be something like a form asking for comments with the entries added to the page. There are many ways to add a form to get information from visitors but I'm not familiar with any that will also display the feedback.
    What comes to mind is a blog page where visitors can add comments to a subject you post. Something like a blog topic Comments. In your site ask visitors to use that blog page to comment on the service the received from you.
    If you do that you might consider using an established blogging site rather than iWeb's blog capabilities. They would be much more robust. Also if you don't publish to MobileMe the blog comments capability for iWeb are disabled. You can embed that blog site into your iWeb created site like in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page. That way the visitors would not have to leave your site to add a comment.
    I'm sure there are other ways to do what you want and other users will surely pop in and offer other possibilities.

  • Is there a comment feature in Pages for iPad?

    Hey all you iPad owners. Is there a comment feature in Pages for iPad? There is one in Pages '09 that I use all the time. Not having that feature in the iPad version of Pages could be a deal breaker for me buying an iPad. Thanks in advance for your help!

    I think it not an unreasonable feature request for a word prcessor. I feel that in scaling pages down to the iPad Apple has also made the product a little less attractive for professional usage. For example pages for iPad really should preserve Endnotes created elsewhere, but it does not at present. A shame, but we can hope that in subsequent versions of pages for iPad that support or preservation of advanced word processing features is introduced.

  • RoboHelp 8 for AIR - Comment Feature

    I'm currently using RH7. I noticed in the marketing blitz for
    RH8 it mentions that the RH packager for AIR allows user comments
    to be posted within your help project. I'm trying to understand if
    this means:
    a. User makes comment on their C drive for their own personal
    reference
    b. User posts comment to a web server for all to see (and
    help author to moderate)

    While Peter's feverishly going back through his hand-written
    notes (he keeps them on wax tablets), let me jump in here.
    Comments stay with the AIR file wherever it is located.
    Comments are identified by machine username, whether the AIR
    file is on your local machine or on a server.
    1. I copied an AIR file to a server location.
    2. I made a comment which, when added, displayed my username.
    3. I copied the AIR file back to my machine.
    4. The new comment appeared.
    In addition, you can sync comments from multiple local
    machines, by exporting/importing comment file (
    Send and Receive comments > Send to file/Receive from
    file). For testing, I: 1) exported two comments; 2) edited the
    file by changing <authorname> and <comment> values; and
    3) imported the edited comments, which appeared along with my old
    ones (but identified by the different author name).
    Based on my initial observations, then, you could even share
    comment files between your customers and your organization (after
    moderating the entries, if need be).
    How your customers use the help (shared or loaded on users'
    local machines) will determine how you instruct them to use the
    comments feature, as well as how to possibly interact with you, the
    vendor.
    Good luck,
    Leon

  • Is support for iWeb going away with MobileMe?

    Is online support going away for iWeb? Do I need to go with a third party server now that MobileMe is dead? What server is the least obtrusive?

    What version of iWeb were you using?  V2 let you publish to MobileMe or a folder on the Dekstop (where it coulb be uploaded to an ftp server) and V3 had options for publishing directly to MMe, an ftp server or a folder on the Desktop.
    That being said it is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.  iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ RSS Feed Widget
    All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    I would imagine that iWeb and iDVD will be dropped from future boxed versions of iLife if there are boxed versions. However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that would include iWeb and iDVD.  Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.

  • Is filemaker a replacement for iweb?

    Am I seeing this right that filemaker has a web design tool..I downloaded a free copy of freeway but I am struggling with using it..My small business web site was on Iweb so i need to find something quickly that can replace it.  thanksmargie

    FileMaker is a database creation application with the capability of creating online databases. It's no replacement for iWeb or any other web design application.
    Why are you wanting to leave iWeb?  It still works and will work for a while.  If your site includes a blog with comments or a photo pages with commenting activeated those will be no longer usable when MobileMe is discontinued on June 30th. Which of the following features does your website have:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    All of these items can be replaced with 3rd party options. Also do you have photo or album pages?
    Regarding web design software do you have any HTML experience?  if so the Flux might be a viable replacement for iWeb.  There are many template based website design apps.  Among them are Quick'n Easy Web Builder, Freeway Express and Rage Web Design.
    However, if your website is working OK for you now any you only expect to make minor updates to it consider staying with iWeb.

  • Replacement Apps for iWeb

    Ok, I have read through here and have seen a lot of programs that can replace iWeb.  I just got my site ( www.LarrysPhotos.net ) moved over to my hosting on GoDaddy, that went surprisingly smooth.
    I really don't twant to rebuild the entire site if I switch to something other than iWeb.  But this isn't going to work forever so I need to do something. Can I take my existing site and move all the pages to one of the other apps and edit them?  It is a rather simple site but there are a ton of photos and it would be a nightmare to re-build it.
    This is not something I make money from, it's just an online photo album for friends and family.  Not something I want to spend endless hours to move over to another web building app.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    This wonderful piece from Old Toad may help you. Two good replacements for iWeb would be RapidWeaver or SandVox.

  • Replacement app for iWeb

    Hi,
    I need to update/recreate my web site which was originally created with iWeb and hosted on me.com.  It is now hosted by GoDaddy.  Any suggestions for apps to replace iWeb?  I prefer a "program" rather than a web site where I can make /reate the web site. 
    Thanks

  • Web hosting for IWeb

    Besides .mac site. does anyone know of any other good web hosting places? I know that powweb.com supports iweb pages but looking to see what else is out there.
    Thanks
    Carrie

    Not sure what you mean by "support" for iWeb pages. We're just talking about HTML files here, so ANY web host will most likely work. Just have to find out the particulars about what exact location to upload your files. And you'll have to use your own FTP program.
    Keep in mind, though, that moving away from .Mac leaves a lot of iWeb features off the table for you...like search, comments, slideshows, the Apple counter, and more! And don't forget about the "smart" uploading capabilities of iWeb. And besides, iWeb I guess .Mac offers the iDisk, webmail, iSync and lots of other things that are tightly integrated into the OS X desktop experience.

  • Accessing site files on .mac for iweb when hard drive crashed w/out backup

    Hello,
    My hard drive crashed. I built my website on iweb, had it stored on my desktop before being able to actually back it up.
    I have been able to grab my site files from idisk, but cannot drag & drop the website into my desktop, so I can update it.
    Can you please add this feature to the iweb software. I do not understand why I could save the website on the .mac
    server, and not access it when I need it.
    This should definitely be a feature for working with .mac.
    Please let me know. I am a fine artist, and the site is great.
    Help please.
    Kellyann

    There is no way for your to do this unless you remembered or knew to backup a file called "Domain" from your hard drive before you formatted it. The pages that you already published and that are still online do not constitute any sort of backup....they are simply the finished product of iWeb's processing. There is no way to import these files back into iWeb for editing from your iDisk or from .Mac.
    In the future, you should know that iWeb stores all vital information about your webpages in a single file called "Domain". This file is the one and only file where iWeb stores everything it needs to be able to edit your webpages and publish them. This is the file that you would need to backup in case anything happens to your computer....or you just want to use iWeb on another computer. This file is changed everytime you make a change in iWeb, so in terms of backup, it is wise to make a backup after every major change that you make to your websites so that you always have the most recent work backed up. This file by default is located on your hard drive in the following folder pathway..... HardDrive/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/.... It is best to leave the file here in this location unless you are familiar with iWeb and its treatment of multiple Domain files.
    I am sorry to be the one to tell you this bad news. You have lost the ability to edit the sites you have already published. Unless you have a backup copy of this Domain file laying around somewhere, you only course of action will be to recreate your site from scratch.

  • Using comments feature in Pages 5.2

    I'M IN A CRITIQUE WRITING GROUP AND WE NEED TO MAKE COMMENTS ON EACH OTHER'S WORK. WITH PAGES 09, I COULD USE COMMENTS EFFECTIVELY...THEY WOULD SHOW IN THE MARGINS OF THE PIECE I WAS GIVING FEEDBACK FOR AND THE COMMENTS WOULD PRINT UP. NOW WITH THE MARVELOUS NEW PAGES VERSION 5.2(1860) COMMENTS FEATURE DISAPPEARS WITH EACH COMMENT AND I CANNOT PRINT OR EMAIL THE DOCUMENT TO THE WRITER - NOR CAN THEY EMAIL THEIR COMMENTS TO ME. MY WRITING PARTNERS USE WINDOWS DOC AND DOCX WHICH I EXPORT TO WORD TO WORK ON. HELP!

    Forget about Pages v5.2 for now. Comments are broke. If you had Pages ’09 previously installed prior to the Pages v5 update, the installation process moved the older Pages into /Application/iWork '09.
    Another awareness issue is that the Pages v5 document format is completely unique to this version. It will not open Pages ’09 documents without filtering the features and functionality that are not presently implemented in Pages v5. Exporting documents, both Word and Pages ’09, have created issues for others.

  • Opening PDF in browser using Adobe API - with mark up and comment features

    Hey,  
    Here is the scenario :   Firstly, the user has to review the file (say pdf) before approving it. I would like to open the pdf file in the browser directly for reviewing. Also, I want to add some mark up (sticky notes, etc) and comment features while reviewing. Using these features, the user can pin point the mistakes directly in the file and revert the file for changes if any.  
    And as part of implementation, I would like to use Adobe java API to do the same. But I couldn't find any code snippets for using this API.  
    Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
