Developing themes for iWeb 08

hello,
I kind of gave up XHTML/CSS/PHP/JavaScript and Wordpress to get back to the bases with iWeb.
i'd be willing to help develop free/paid themes for iWeb 08 and I understand, from what I read that the process is different from iWeb 06 themes.
I digged into the core files but when showing the package content of a particular themes ( say "blog.webtemplate") I cannot find where the graphics are located.
Anyone has an idea?
Also is there a place that gathers iWeb 08 theme developers?
thanks

Have you checked this site out:

  • Anyone else buy  "Themes for iWeb" in App Store?

    Ok, I sent in my review a second time and this time it seems to have been published. I just cannot get the application to work, but the developer has emailed me and repeated the instructions. I followed them and it still doesn't work in Lion.
    If anyone else bought this app from the Mac App Store, please post here, especially if you succeeded in getting it to work.
    I have bought themes before off the web, and the download was easy. Just click on the installer pkg and it gets set up in iweb and the themes appear.
    But the installation system for "Themes for iweb" is different.
    I like a couple of them, so I hope I can get it to work. If I were really expert I could just relax and figure the developers need to fix things, but my level of understanding is such I still have to understand I possibly screwed  up the process. Hope I can get it to work one way or the other.

    Which is pretty much a reasonable assumption.And you do not neccessarily need a password for an in app purchase.

    Yes, considering all of the traffic they get, it may take them a while. Have you tried using this: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Caution:buying themes for iWeb in MAS can be a problem

    A few weeks ago I bought Themes for iWeb, and it just didn't work. I asked for help from the developers, but then the changes totally destroyed iWeb and my site.
    I now notice another themes for iweb on the Mac App Store and all the reviews say it not only doesn't work, it does the same thing for iweb in Lion. Read all the reviews and the warning from Apple to get a feel for problems that can arise.
    I don't blame developers, other than for the fact they should have tested it out. I suspect that last update from Apple for iWeb made it functional in Lion, but without its code, no themes will be working.
    Now, I love iWeb, but seeing the handwriting and all, am moving to another website creator. Considering how much trouble I had with the destruction of my site, I want to warn off people from buying any themes package that doesn't clearly say it has been tested in Lion.
    Hugh

    I just reinstalled iweb and the updates. Actually, it may be a blessing as it will force me to redo the site and check every link. In the last year a few just don't work anymore.
    I find that I can copy and paste pretty well from the site still on the web, and use the old video from YouTube.
    Some stuff is gone, but all in all, it was an interesting lesson.
    I got cocky because I knew the trick of making sure I duplicated and saved the domainsites file.
    I know I had at least one sitesfile that was original and perfect, but didn't work.
    Oh well.
    I really do like iweb. Now I think I will not be the first to download software again.
    In fairness, while the software didn't work, I did play around in the application support, iweb, themes section a lot more than I should have.

  • Themes for iWeb

    The Apple App store has a colelection of iWeb Themes under the name "Themes for iWeb". They look nice but there are no customer reviews. Has someone here tried them? Thanks for any feedback!

    I agree with Jeff wholeheartedly. If you start with either the White, Black, Modern Frame or Formal theme you can create a customized site to your choosing.  The other themes use graphic files for some of the page designs which can't be removed or resized to fit your design requirements.
    There was another user who was having problems with those themes from the App Store.  Something happened and he couldn't find his previous sites. I can't find the exact topic but if I do I'll post a link to it here.

  • Developing theme for a portlet

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop according to the instructions given in the documentation.But the theme doesn't seem to be applying.I just get the jsp but not any styles applied to it.Is there any pre requisite or something which needs to be done for the theme.
    I also have .laf file which i would to convert to a theme or a theme which has contents similar to that .laf file.Is this thing possible??

    Not sure if this is your problem, but themes are scoped to a look and feel. So if you create a theme say "grey out" you need to create it for all look and feels, otherwise it will only work for the look and feel you created it for.

  • I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?

    I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?
    I had the developer preview installed. Never had to update to the release version of the OS. Now, the preview has expired, and I cannot use my phone because my iTunes reads my OS as being current, but my iPhone cannot active. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    If I Google for Michael Superczynski, first match tells "Michael Superczynski's Profile : Apple Support Communities". It in fact does a lot of work there even if not paid.
    And yes we do not have disagreement about "official apple developers". Problem is that Apple screwed our devices because we are "official apple developers" and did effort to stop us getting proper help. I unbricked my ipad and iphone thanks to unofficial help. Thank you who wrote this unofficial help and "no thanks" for apple for ruining my access to my devices. My mistake was assuming that "update" button on my devices works. It did not because it always told "Your device has latest IOS6 installed" until it bricked yesterday.
    If Apple does not want to listen us, continue do delete post, blame us installing your software and yes we stop buying your devices and developing for them.

  • Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

    Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
    there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
    I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
    The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
    http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
    Here is the log:
    http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
    I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
    http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
    I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
    off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
    Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
    Many thanks,
    Lawrence

  • Is there a maximum website size for iWeb?

    iWeb looked like the answer to my dreams. I needed to put together a website for my consulting business fast…I have another book coming out in a week or two.
    I tried on of those sites where you use their development tools on-line. Big disappointment. Too restricted and wouldn't allow me to be creative. Then I looked at spending $400 (or whatever) for DreamWeaver and go through a long learning curve learning html.
    Then I saw the ad for iWeb. Just what I needed. Mac software. Intuitive to use. A snap to learn. But I am now having problems publishing my iWeb created web-site to my domain. I am not using a .Mac account. The book already has my website listed as bobwallonline.com. Too late to change.
    My Domain size, as measured in Application support, iWeb, is now at 8.7 MB on disk. I am exceeding iWeb's limitations or is the problem to be found with ftp software I'm using to publish my site. (I'm using Web Echo and have had nothing but trouble with it since I got started.)
    So frustrating. I've got the tool that allows me to create just what I had in mind but I can't seem to publish it. Would a Macintosh support person please answer this so that I have a definitive answer as to whether or not I am exceeding iWeb's capabities? Thanks, Bob in Connecticut

    Bob, I also believe that one of the main issues hindering your work is that you have an older computer with very little memory. On another note you should enter your web host via the internet. Log on to your hosting service and delete what ever files are in there. Take your iweb site and save it to a new folder on your desktop. This will put all your files neatly in one location. then use your ftp software to connect to your host and upload your site to the server. Once uploaded make sure your index page shows and your folder. It should work fine after that. If you like to download new FTP software try Interarchy 8.2 it's the one i'm using and it's pretty fast. I got it from the Apple website on their Mac OSX link. Once there go to the downloads Link and on the side bar look for the internet utilities link.
    Hope that helps and good luck.

  • Photo album theme in iWeb that are the same as the old MobileMe wanted!?!

    I really liked MobileMe and made many Albums with specially design firstside photos. That means they are square with four sides equally long. I put down quite a lot of work and now I would like to get hold on a simple, goodlooking theme for photoalbums with an index with square photoholders. That all I want.
    Anybody seen anything like this? Could someone do it or tell how to do it??
    Many Thanx Anyhow!

    Yes, but that´s the very problem - I have downloaded and I have 98 different themes of allready made photo albums for iWeb, and all of them got - as You say - a rectangle frame for the indexpage. That will crop the albums first picture in a very irritating way - specially since I remade all of them to fit in a square (like the MobileMe album had). They worked as a frontpage of the album, with text and sometimes with a suitable frame in the picture. In iWeb, they will all be cropped to a middle section of the square.
    But in the iWeb´s albums next page - usually a kind of a lightboard, showing all pictures in that album - the square format are kept, likewise in following pages, showing a blowup of each photo.
    I think now the only way to get the index to look nice with my square photos, will be for me to add marginals on each side on all the first´s to fill up a rectangle frame. But it´s impossible to do it unvisible. It will be noticed.

  • Photo compression for iweb

    A question that i can't find the answer to...
    I subscribe to a training library called lynda.com which has fantastic training on iweb.
    The one area they don't cover is this.
    If i want to create a photo page from within iphoto and just put it on iweb, i have photos that I have not manually compressed size-wise for web compatibility. If I then just either make a slide show for iweb, or just use the media browser in iweb and drag them into placeholders will the end user find the speed of the site slow as i haven't compressed photos for web use, or does either iphoto or iweb do that for me?
    In other words, do i need to take photos into Photoshop, crop and save for web first, and then put them in iphoto, or is that just not necessary?
    David Tobin

    60 pics is way too many for one page. 15 or less should be your goal.
    This site will tell you how long your page will take to load in the different internet connections. If it says over 15 seconds in 56k you have overloaded your page and should break it up.

  • HT4597 what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing,  Idisk & photo gallery ?

    what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing,  Idisk & photo gallery ?

    Thanks for the reply that there will be 3rd party support.
    One of the main reasons why I went from PC to Mac was because of all these cool features.
    Am dissapointed to see them leave.  ( Iweb, Photogallery, Idisk... )

  • How to decide the development platform for developing portal content?

    Dear Experts
    There are several platforms on which we can make
    portal contents for SAP Portal.
    1)Web Dynpro for Java
    2)Web Dynpro for ABAP
    3)PDK for .NET
    I am trying to find out which of them would be most
    efficient while developing system for the client.
    It may be that for one who knows Java, Web dynpro for
    Java would be efficient and so on.
    However, when there is a situation where the  developers
    need to be trained before the project, which of these
    platforms would be the most efficient.
    Beside the evaluation  based on language of development,
    are there some other evaluation based on criteria like the
    ease of development, deployment and debugging, cost for the
    softwares and hardwares needed for the projects, contents
    of the class library, templates provided and so on?
    Does anybody have some supporting document that describes
    on which circumstances which of these technologies would
    be efficient while making systems for the client?
    It would be of great help if you could share your insights.
    many thanks,
    Sudeep

    hi sudeep.....
             whatever technology, you work in , the output is going to be the same and he ecnd user cannot find out what technology you have used.... ABAP would be better because its growing up fast and many applications are being created using web dynpro abap.

  • How to create a custom theme for discussions similar to jive?

    I have worked in Jive earlier and saw that there was greater flexibility in the way you can work with themes. Oracle has extended it and looks most of the features are removed.
    In Jive, I was able to create a new theme and was able to change the look and feel for each piece of page that appeared in jive site. E.g I was able to change the ftl of header, fotter, account controls area etc. There were around 20 diffrent templates that were available and I could control each and every template to give a total diffrent look and feel for the Jive site.
    How do I do the same with Discussions in WLS_Services now? Also don't see an option for defining themes for wiki site.
    Do we have a developer guide for customizing discussions and wikis?

    Here is someone else's answer.  In short not really.

  • Themes for Standalone WebDynPro

    Hello All,
    If I use the Theme Editor for editing default themes for WebDynPro application that I am developing, then, does the new Themes showup on my standalone WebDynPro application? ( I mean, its not deployed as a portal component on EP, rather its just run on WebAS by saying "Deploy and Run")
    Thanks,
    Kiran

    Hi Kiran,
    Develop this theme and then you need to copy that theme inside the folder, <Drive>:usr\sap\<system id>\JC<instance num>\j2ee\cluster\server0\temp\webdynpro\web\sap.com\tcwddispwda\global\SSR\themes
    Then, in webdynpro url, append following to set your theme to that webdynpro application.
    sap-cssurl=http://<Server IP>:<port>/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tcwddispwda/global/SSR/themes/<theme name>

  • What is the best replacement for iWeb?

    I have been using iWeb for a very long time. I need to move on to something that is being updated. What is the best replacement for iWeb? I see Wordpress needs special software to work on a Mac.
    Thanks!

    I have used HostExcellence in the past and they support all the CMS's including WordPress, so you should have no problems there.
    The top CMS's that most have heard about and use are Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.
    There is probably no best one, but you need to look at them all and use the one that best fits your needs.
    I have used all of them in the past, but most recently Joomla and Drupal.  Drupal has a reputation for being quite hard and Drupal 6 was, but with the advent of Drupal 7, things got a lot easier.  There are a lot more themes that you can use and if you want increased functionality in Drupal, then you can download Modules and install them.  You can have a membership site if you want it and this is easy to do - people can sign up for an account and you can restrict their access to certain parts of the site and then limit what they can do.  You can allow people to complete forms on the site itself and the results to be sent to you.  There is a Blog module that you can enable and that comes in Drupal Core with no need to download an extra module.
    Joomla is good also and you can have a Blog with it too and there are lots of themes to choose from, but sometimes you have to pay for extras with Joomla - you can download Extensions and Plugins, but they may not always be free.
    WordPress was always just thought of as a blogging platform, but it has evolved in to much more than that and you can now create stunning looking websites with blogs - there are a good range of free templates to choose from and if you want your blog on the front page of your site you can have this, or you can change it to another part of your site if you want a static front page.  To extend functionality you can download plugins from inside WordPress itself, most of which are free.  This might be the easiest one for you to use if you just want a website with a built in blog that is relatively easy.
    Check out the others though at Drupal.org, Joomla.org and then WordPress.org.
