Embedding a Guest Book onto an iWeb Page?

I've seen a few people using Guest Map with it in a frame on their iWeb site. I'd like to do the same thing but with my Guest Book. Is it possible and does anyone know how?

Yes, you can do this:
Add a textbox to the page you want it on. I think in your case, it will have to be 600 px wide. Put some unique text into the page, eg GUESTBOOKCODE. Publish. Go to the html page, open it in textedit. Replace GUESTBOOKCODE with this:

(Leave out the  from the start and end of the above text).
Save the file. Open it to test. Hopefully it should now open within the page.
There is an article on my site about integrating a guestmap - the principles outlined there apply in this case.

Adding a guest book to an iweb created site and problems with counter

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's possible to add a guest book to a website created on iweb? I can find the html to insert, but can't find out how to insert it on the page.
Also, I have tried adding the counter to see how many visitors I have, but it does not show up when the site is published.
Thanks very much, in advance.

You might have better luck asking in the iWeb forums here:

How do I insert a powerpoint presentation onto an iweb page?

I tried dragging the file to an iweb movie page, but that does not seem to work. I appreciate any help.
thanks

Joe ~ If you post your PPT file to free Posterous, it will automatically be presented in a convenient viewer, e.g.
http://dont-panic.posterous.com/posterous-automatically-displays-ppts-like-th
And if you don't want to hyperlink to your Posterous blog entry, you could try embedding it into your iWeb site:

Embedding an iCal calendar in an iWeb page

I'm designing a website to accompany the chemistry classes I teach. I *would like to embed the class calendar I made using iCal into one of the pages on my site. Is there a way to do this?*

There is a way to do it but it won't fit very nicely. What you do is use an HTML snippet with iFrame code:
<iframe height="XXX px" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:XXX px;border:none" src="URL to page to be embedded"></iframe>
You will have to adjust the height and width values to match the published iCal calendar. Since you can't resize the published iCal calendar it will be pretty big.
A Google calendar, on the other hand, can be resized and made to fix whatever size on the page you want. Like this demo page: Google calendar
There are applications that will sync iCal calendars with Google calendars.

Open Pics On iWeb page?

So when I move pictures onto my iWeb page, it resizes them to a smaller size than the original size. But is there any way to make it where someone can click that picture to show its original size? Or just a larger size?

That's what iWeb does when you drag a photo or graphic onto an iWeb page. Different themes will also add a frame to the item. To get it back to the original size go to the Inspector/Metric pane and click on the "Original Size" button. Then you can drag it to where you want it on the page.
Click to view full size
As far as having someone click on a thumbnail and get a larger size the easiest method is to add photos to photos page or an album from iPhoto in the Media Browser to an Albums page. Then when you click on the thumbnail you'll get the larger size like in this demo page: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow
For the album page method see this demo page: iPhoto Albums
Now is you want to have a thumbnail on a regular iWeb page and have a larger version popup when you click on it see this demo page: Fancy Zoom & Image Popup.
There's also a rollover method where rolling the cursor over an image will change it. Example #3 on this demo page has the second version a larger image: Rollover-gifs
Still another method: Open an item in a new window without a button
So there are a number of different ways to get what you want.

PDF document on iWeb page - Can't get hyperlinks to work

I have dragged a .pdf file which contains working hyperlinks onto my iWeb page. The .pdf file displays properly but the hyperlinks are inactive. Is there a way to make them work? I do not wish to use an iFrame because I don't want the clickable links to open in the iFrame.

Hi Old Toad,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I understand. My PDF file, which originated as a Numbers table, contains a numbered list with hyperlinks to outside sites. I exported the Numbers document as a .pdf, then dragged that onto the iWeb page. I see that if it is being converted to an image, the links won't work once placed on the iWeb page. When I tried to use the iFrame widget from your site, here: http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo1/Scrolling_TextBox.html, the links worked but the URLs opened right in the frame. Is there a solution that will make the links open in another window given that my file is made in a Numbers file converted to PDF? Thanks much for your help and for all the great resources on your site....

Video on an iWeb page

Hi, I know how easy it is to drag and drop a video onto an iWeb page. I believe it uses QuickTime as the player. Is there a way to get a broader reach with the video though? For example, Mac users will have Quicktime so they would be able to see the video on the site by default. But what about those users on *that other OS* who don't have QuickTime. Is there a way to have the video use the default player (or maybe even embed a player into the site itself) such that site visitors won't have to download a plug-in or anything, which might turn them off right off the bat?
Thanks.

Any video format requires a browser plug-in be used to display it.
Flash Media requires Flash Player. Windows Media formats require Windows Media Player. Real Player formats require Real Player and QuickTime formats require QuickTime Player.
iWeb writes page code to use QuickTime. It's installed on all Macs and has been downloaded a half a billion times by PC users. It's bundled with iTunes for PC.
You could make more than one version of your file and hand edit the iWeb page code to include them or "link to file" so they could download the file.
Probably not worth the trouble once you investigate.

Re: Creating comments page or guest book for our wedding website on iweb?

My fiance and I are using iweb to let our wedding guests know about the location of our wedding, things to do, directions, etc. We would like to create a sort of guest book, or comments page, where our guests can send us a message via our website. Is this possible to do in iweb? If so, can someone let me know what the best and easiest way would be to do so? Thanks!

You can also add a free comments page from www.smartgb.com
So far it has worked great with two websites that I have created. You can embed them right into your website. Check out these sites to see how they work on the websites I created:

Hope this helps.

Looking for 'music player' widget to play songs dragged onto iWeb page

Has anyone found a 'music player' widget that can be embedded into an iWeb page, and that can then load and play the songs that have been dragged onto that page?
I have found several such widgets that can scan a URL for mp3 files, and I have successfully embedded each of those widgets into an iWeb page using the HTML Snippet, but none of them could find the mp3 files that I dragged onto the page, even though I supplied the widget with the URL for that page.

Wyodor, I just wanted to let you know that I am having a lot of fun with the WimpyPlayer, and I like the skin you sent me. Thank you so much.
I've been playing around with it. I had to reduce the height of the widget to fit on my webpage, but when I did, the text became too small to read, so instead, I went into the skin's jpeg and cut out the midsection of the playlist area. Then I had to readjust the playlist's number of lines displayed and its slider size to fit. I also changed the color scheme to match my webpage, and some of the Help tags. All in all, it looks great, and I am very happy with it.
The one feature I miss from when I was using iWeb's built-in QuickTime player is the ability to have a photo (such as an album cover) displayed with the music. Do you happen to know of any music players that enable you to attach a photo with each track or album?

Embedded simpleviewer gallery in iWeb page

I've been doing a lot of research looking up on different sites and I've come up with a battle plan. I want to embed a simpleviewer gallery into my iweb page. Right now, I have a gallery set to open up in a separate window, and it's working fine. I'd either like to hide the address bar or embed the simpleviewer gallery right into the page, so instead of just the gallery opening up in its own webpage, the new page would include the rest of my links, and images. I think that an html snippet is the way to go, but I don't know how to obtain all the proper html to make it work. Does anybody know how to get it? iWeb's help section for html snippets is ironically incredibly unhelpful.
Here's a link to the gallery as it is now.

I guess I should mention that I've seen it done before, I'm not just making something up. Here's a link to an autoviewer gallery that I've seen, and it's embedded into the iWeb page.

Here's a link to my gallery,
http://web.mac.com/soncraig/Cami&_Stevesv/index.html
and here's a link to the rough page that I made for it
http://web.mac.com/soncraig/CraigSalmond_Photography/About2.html
Exactly which parts do I need to edit? I have a basic understanding of html, but I don't know how to link the gallery files to my iWeb page. Also, the Simpleviewer code doesn't look anything like some people say it should. For example, http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/SimpleViewer.html
Is this page not accurate? Is it dealing with an earlier version of Simpleviewer?

Guest Book or Comment Page?

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but how do you do a guestbook page?

I use a free guest book by UltraGuest.com and put a text and object link to it in my site. Visitors who click on it get taken to the guest book provider, fill it out and I get an email notifying me of the entry. Visitors can view other entries. Just create a free account, setup the appearance and then put in a text link to it on your site.

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

Code in a domain file - really? That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08? If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

Flash exported from Keynote and embeded in iWeb page not working in IE

using the "html snippet" widget and swfobeject code generated here: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard I placed a swf file generated by Keynote in an iWeb page.
It seems to work fine except for folks using IE in Windows. They get to the first page, but the "Next" link doesn't work. My problem page address is here: http://shortpoem.org/readings/Selected_Poems.html
Can anyone help me see what needs to change?
This is the generated code (I also tried using the html generated by Keynote and had the same problem):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/swfobject.js"></script>
This text will be replaced
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('http://shortpoem.org/readings/SelectedPoemsfiles/thoughts.swf','mpl','800','600','8');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addVariable('height','600');
so.addVariable('width','800');
so.addVariable('file','/upload/player.flv');
so.write('player');
</script>

The code in your first post is not what you pasted in the Snippet.
http://shortpoem.org/readings//SelectedPoems_files/widget0markup.html
You simply exclude IE users.
Have a look here for some inspiration:

Embedding Iweb page into Craigslist using mobile me link?

I would like to embed an iweb page or and ad creating in Pages into a craigslist post. How can I do this so it looks like a nicely formatted webpage in my craigslist posting?
I

It just occurred to me that because I have a MacBook for work and a MacBookPro for home, I am using two different OS. My MacBook is still running on Leopard, but my personal computer has Snow Leopard. The blog issue is appearing no matter which computer I'm publishing from. And as of right now, iWeb is not freezing like it was earlier this evening. But what's really curious is that after publishing from both OS, the blog issue remains the same and so does the error reading. I wish that I could attach the snapshot I took from both computers. If anyone is interested in seeing the errors from the snapshot, I'd be glad to email them to you.
On another note, when I copied my domain file (from my laptop with Snow Leopard) to my iDisk to transfer to my laptop with Leopard, it wouldn't open at all. This is another new issue for me as I haven't had problems with this in the past.
So, Snow Leopard appears to have a bug, but even with using Leopard, I am still experiencing the same errors with the blog.
I just wanted to throw that out there because I really need my website up and running for the first day of school with my students next Thursday. =/
