Creating online photo store using iweb

I am a serious beginner. Trying to set up a web page where I can sell my digital photos. I was able to copy and paste the paypal html code and attach to a page however, it appears that if i want the individual photo to be purchased I will have to attach the html to each photo????? This seems extremely time consuming. My question is this: is it possible to quickly attach the html code to the individual photos in batch or maybe by the photos name (downloaded from camera) rather than one at a time? not sure if this even makes sense

If your photos are all the same price or within a fairly narrow range like - small medium, large, extra large - you can apply one BUY button per page and have it go to a PayPal drop down like here....

Note that if you are dropping PayPal buttons into an iWeb Photo page template the buttons will not appear as planned. Old Toad has published a list of such topics in his post in this topic.....

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error.

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error. All was fine with my site until I added the photo album page. The software doesnt say what the error is exactly, only that it is a publishing error to my ftp
Exact message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."
If I reduce the albums inside to 1 then it seems to work but that takes away from the usefullness of multiple albums.
my iWeb version is 3.0.4 (601)

Publish your site to a folder on your hard drive to see if the publication will proceed successfully and open the site locally with your browser to confirm all of the alums are there and work. If they do try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If you're still not able to publish from iWeb to your server download and use the free Cyberduck to upload your website files to the server. Users have found that CD has been successful when iWeb had problems.

Implementing an online store using iweb

I understand that iWeb isn't really designed for creating online stores, but it's the only application I have real experience in using.
So I was wondering if there's anyway to implement an online store into my iWeb website.
I have heard some talk of somehow implementing an oscommerce application into the website?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Here's a few suggestions....

Creating a photo gallery using behaviors?

I am re-designing a website, and I'm a little stuck on how to re-create the photo gallery presentation of the original web site. Here is the original gallery:
http://www.sarahegeller.com/photos
What I'd specifically like to reproduce is the ability to click on a thumbnail, which would bring up the larger image, but with the original window remaining behind, greyed out. I assume this is something I can do with behaviors, but there doesn't seem to be a behavior that addresses this, at least among the behaviors dreamweaver CS 3 comes with. I assume a behavior that would give me the effect I want exists on the dreamweaver exchange, but I couldn't find one. Am I even correct in assuming I could achieve the effect I'm looking for using a behavior?
I'm using dreamweaver CS 3, on a mac.
Thanks for taking the time to read this query.
Yours,
Nick

The effect you're aiming for is a currently popular one known as a Lightbox.
There is no in built Dreamweaver behaviour for this. You'll need to look for 3rd party solutions such as jQuery.
From the page code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/lightbox2/js/auto_image_handling.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/lightbox2/js/lightbox.js"></script>
The effect on that particular site is created with a Drupal module: Lightbox2

Started creating a web site using iWeb, signed up for MobileMe trial, now iWeb won't work?

So I started playing around with iWeb and created a web site for my portfolio. I then signed up for a trial of the MobileMe. After I went through the whole setup process for MobileMe...setting up on my iPod Touch, then on my iMac, then syncing all the apps...I back to iWeb to publish my web site to my newly created MobileMe account. Only iWeb was unresponsive. I tried to restart the application. I get as far as the welcome screen with the "Getting Started Video", but there is no iWeb window open behind that. I tried to restart my machine...nothing!
Now I have this MobileMe trial that is ticking away and I can't even use it. Please help, thanks.

Update. After a conversation with Marlon at Apple Support, we have it resolved. As soon as I mentioned that iWeb would launch properly on other profiles, we figured out that it has to be a preference problem. I should have known better, its one of the first things to check. But, I've been away from macs for a little bit, so I'm a little rusty in the troubleshooting dept.
To trash iWeb preferences:
1) Quit iWeb
2) Navigate to:
User Directory --> Library --> Preferences --> com.apple.iWeb.plist
3) Take this file and drag it to your desktop
4) Relaunch iWeb
5) If everything works as it should, you can take the preference file you dragged to your desktop and move it to the recycle bin.
Somewhere in the MobileMe registration and setup process the preferences for iWeb froze up. Trashing the iWeb preferences fixed the problem.
If I come across any issues posting site to MM or posting site updates to MM I will update this thread.

How to create an email newsletter using iweb

I was hoping to create a VERY simple newsletter email using iWeb. Are there instructions somewhere on how to do this? I don't want to attach any type of attachment, it defeats the purpose of a short, simple email, yet I'd like a little teensy bit of graphics in it besides the text.
I guess if I could find the .html file that gets created when I hit save -- that would be helpful, but I can't seem to find the file I created on my system. Any clues? What do the files get created as?
Thanks. Ana

iWeb saves files packaged as ".sites2" file wich is an iWeb Domain file. If you are looking to access the "Raw HTML" you will need to publish your website to a folder. As pictured below:

I have recently made some changes and the updates don't show in Safari, but when I open Firefox, the changes are there. It doesn't show the updates in Chrome on my iphone either? Any suggestions?

You can also reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

Hello,
I am just following the exercise to create offline scenario. I was able to do READ, but when I tried to open the online store, I am keep getting the error ( screenshot attached).
I am using the standard code from excersie but wonering what's is wrong. I tried to increase the log level on SMP to DEBUG, but no entries are found in log related offline.
Please help. Here is the piece of code I am using to open the store
        function openStore() {
            if (!haveAppId()) {
                return;
    var authStr = "Basic " + btoa(applicationContext.registrationContext.user + ":" + applicationContext.registrationContext.password);

            store.open(openStoreSuccessCallback, errorCallback/*, options*/);

I just updated SMP SDK version to latest and looks like it is working. I still need to do more testing. I will let you know guys if I encounter any issues. Tune in please.

How to create online fillable form using acobrat 7.0 ?

I want to create an online fillable form but seems like a fill able PDF form is good to enter the information when end user wants to print the document with the filled information. They won't be able to save the filled information unless they have adobe acrobat and every user don't have acrobat. Majority of users will have adobe reader only which does not have the feature of saving the document with the filled information.
How can I receive the information from this fill able PDF form ?
I have seen on many website that, they people can fill out the form online and submit the information.
I know a way too add submit button using acrobat 7 designer but that is very complicated because the user will have to send xml data and i will have to import the xml data into the original pdf form which is very time consuming and not a good idea when i have to deal will 1000 forms every week.
when a personal is filling a fillable form (which i will upload on my website), that pdf form can't be send directly to me with data in it ?
this seems to be very complicated.

For AA7, you can set the file to submit the data, not the entire form. You would have the FDF data file submitted to you. The e-mail feature is not very reliable, but that was not your question. When you receive the FDF file, you may be able to click it and have it open in the form (if you did not move the form and such -- it has some folder information in the FDF). Otherwise, you can open the form and use the form tools to import the data -- forgot where it is in AA7. The end result of the import will be the same display as the submitter had in the form. You can then save the form to a different name. There may be some data handling within Acrobat 7, I don't remember. If not, you might want to get the FDF Toolkit from Adobe and set up some data manipulation with the toolkit to put data in a database or such.

Can't get rid of stock photo when using iWeb but publishing to non-MobileMe

On one of my pages I have a vertical column of photos with my photos from iPhoto that I dragged and dropped into iWeb. The page was originally based on an iWeb template, though I cannot remember which one.
The problem I am having is that the stock photo sometimes shows up when I publish the website - even though I have dropped a photo in the space, saved it and re-published it. I have gone into the files and deleted the stock photo and I even went to my webhost and deleted the stupid thing there as well. Regardless, the #*!!%@ thing keeps showing up.
I have reloaded the page to my webhost multiple times. I had the same problem a day or two ago and eventually the stock photo stopped showing up, but I have no idea what kind of hocus pocus made it finally disappear and the correct photo show in its place.
Any ideas?
thanks,
roxpat

It is apparently an iWeb issue. In the template that I used, I guess some aspects are just "in there" and are not able to be removed.
I ultimately removed all of the photos from the page since they had originally started as "drops" into the placeholders and put my photos in manually (not a big deal, of course). I saved it and "published it" to the folder. . .and there was that stupid photo again. I yanked the photo and put it in the trash and went to my webhost and removed the same photo. . .and finally the stock photo went away.
Every time I update the site (or those pages, anyway), I have to go in and remove that #%^#^& photo.
The moral of the story is that I need to just rebuild the page from scratch - without a template. It shouldn't be too hard, but it's more effort than I want to exert at this point

Creating short photo gallery using previous and next frame A3.0

I'm creating a simple photo gallery.
Can someone tell me the right code this is what I'm remember. I forgot.
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goNext);
previous_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);
function goNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("nextFrame");
function goBack(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("previoudFrame");
I know it's wrong can someone help me out?
Thanks

inside your functions use just
nextFrame();
and
prevFrame();
and get rid of those gotoAndStop and it should work...

IWeb Online Photo Albums

What am I supposed to do with all my meticulously created online photo albums now that iWeb is going away? Any suggestions?

You can find a 3rd party hosting service and move your iWeb sites from your iDisk to it and continue as before. Of course there will be somethings that iWeb will lose upon moving to a new server and the MMe servers are taken off line June 30, 2012:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
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.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
There are a number of web development applications out there that you can migrate to once iWeb no longer works or does'nt suit your needs. They vary in their ease of use and simplicity. Just search the iWeb community as Wyodor suggested to find discussions on the pros and cons of these apps. We have until June 30th to make our decisions and move the sites. Lots of time to experiment and settle on an alternative.

Photo captions in iWeb

Greetings,
I'm just creating my first site using iWeb but I am having trouble with photo captions. I am using a blank template and inserting photos into the text with a wrap round. that's fine. However, I can't work out how to put captions under the photos. I've tried using a text box but it won't drag up close to the photo,because some of the handles remain white and the text on the page moves away from the box so it looks bad. . I've searched through help but can't find an answer there.
If anyone has any thoughts I'd be grateful

Your problem is that you cannot follow instructions even when they are spelled out.
The instruction is not to DROP an image on the textbox, the instruction is to PASTE the image in the textbox.
UPDATE:
Here s a picture.
1. A picture
2. The picture in the textbox with a caption.
3. The picture in the textbox with a caption inside a textbox with your text wrapped around it.
