Help with iWeb locked up

Made a mistake and tried to drag files to iWeb.......now I just get an error message and when I click OK......it shuts down iWeb with the same message when I restart iWeb.
Message = "Can’t open file “~/Desktop/AubracWebsiteFiles/All_About_The_Beef_files.”
Any help would be appreciated!

Double-click the domain files as instructed.
Or remove the file you tried to open in iWeb earlier.
Then iWeb will prompt for the domain file.
Or use iWebSites :

Yes, a lot of functions are similar. Have been since 1984 with the introduction of Word processing and DTP applications. I consider myself lucky I was around at that time. Now I can apply most of the functions in current day applications.

Help with iWeb

I just built my first website with iWeb and am looking for feedback. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
You have some interesting elements, but the site could use a little work on focusing what reaction and response you are trying to get from your visitors. If the site is intended to be a basic, un-intimidating web based business card, then you could call it a success. If you want to engage your potential customers and clients, you might ask yourself how intriguing is the site to serving the questions in the mind of your clientele visitor. On that side of things, I would say the site needs a little something. I suggest you start by going to http://attentionwizard.com, do a free heat map and read through some of their materials about site attention and effectiveness. I am not affiliated with the people at attentionwizard.com, but I fully believe they know what they are talking about.

Hope that helps! Just remember that every site is unique, its needs are unique, and the function is specific to the goals of the owner.

Help with iWeb gallery

Hi all - this is my first post on here but i've used it for help and pointers with iWeb for some time. I'm just creating a website for my design portfolio and would really like to incorporate a gallery like the one that appears at the following link:
http://www.arizona-software.ch/photopresenter/screenshots.html
Does anyone know of what this gallery might be called? My knowledge of web design is extremely limited so if someone could let me know their thoughts (phrased 'for dummies') that would be great.
Many thanks in advance
Sam

Yes it does.
By the way, do you plan to publish to .mac.
Iphoto galleries do have that option as one of about three, but the user would have to select it.
If you haven't tired one you might. I think they look quite nice.
There are several different programs that will accomplish that, but if Iphoto will work for you it would be the easiest as it directly interfaces with Iweb.
There is a little freebe called "flash album exporter" that is a plug-in for Iphoto that will do exactly what you want, but you would have to manually upload and link it, which is not really a big deal.

The simple viewer option is about the same as what you saw.
good luck

Help with iWeb single file support

Hi all. I'm trying to make a single file document with html support to use as a cover letter for potential employers, I understand that .mhtml is not supported, is there an alternative so I can combine my entire site into a single file for easy distribution?

Open iWeb and go and publish your site from iWeb to your desktop and you then have one site folder, an index.html file and the assets file. Ditch the index and assets file and then you are just left with one site folder that has everything in it - so for a one page site you will have an index.html file, your one page.html and your one page folder, which contains the CSS for that page.
Burn this one site folder onto a DVD or however you want to distribute the site and both Mac and PC user will be able to open it with Safari, IE etc. As it is an html page it will open in a browser, so PC users will be able to see it.
If you were sharing your site with other Mac users, you could distribute the domain.sites file and other Mac users could then open this with iWeb, but it then depends on what version they have too - if you have made your site with iWeb 09 and they have iWeb 08, then they would not be able to open the domain file, as iWeb is not backward compatible.
Probably best to publish the site and distribute one site folder which everyone can get access to.

Help with iWeb page...

Hello out there in Cyberland...
I need some assistance...My Site (which was created in iWeb 3) does not completely work in Safari but works like a charm in Chrome. My Blog Page "Projects" will load ocassionally but if you go back to it after viewing another page...all of the entries have dissappeared!!! I switched Safari to 32 bit thinking this would help...no dice...please assist me if you can. I have also tried to update the Blog.js and have emptied the Safari Cache many times...all to no avail.
My site is www.kmpstudioproductions.com
I am running Safari 6 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Please ADVISE!!!
Thanks
KMP Studio Productions

Your site still works OK for me in Safari.
Reset Safari, quit, relaunch and then enter your website URL with a ? at the end of it.
So many people test their iWeb sites in Safari and there is hardly much point in doing so...
For testing local files, you should either set Firefox as your default browser or Chrome if you publish the files to your local server.
I have had problems with Safari 6 not clearing the cache properly. If you really make it jump through hoops it spins its wheels and locks up.
It is such a piece of c*#p I don't hardly use it all now and, judging by the above stats, neither does anybody else! Worry about IE instead.

Help with template locked and editable regions

I have been using templates for years in a very simplified way, my programing skills are not great. Today I seem to have screwed up a template beyond my ability to fix it and possibly all 46 pages attached to it (have not uploaded any of these files though).
The body tag needs to be editable because of the preload images that are part of the tag. The next section needs to be editable for content which is different on all pages. The last part is a table with text navigation to each page which needs to be locked so I can change it from one place.
DW keeps inserting an extra body tag and putting an end body tag after the editable content region (before the locked table), depending on where I try to put the tags. Then it won't let me change areas of the content on individual pages and it's not displaying the bottom nav table (although it does show up in safari, but I know the code is wrong).
Basically what I would like to do is simply have the whole body region editable, except for the one table toward the bottom of each page. Can I do this with out having any content thrown off my pages? I really don't know what code to post at this point since it's all in various stages of "not-working", but the version I am using is DW8.
Here is a link to an online page which might help you see what I am talking about, this is from before I started trying to change the template:
http://www.janosklanyi.com/dresden.html
Thanks,
Kaylee

Hi, AZ,
Templates imply locked regions and editable regions...usually WITHIN the body, so having the entire body editable might be what is throwing things off.
It is possible to make attributes of tags editable, but I don't believe that is supported in DW8. You would make the body tag editable so that the id can be changed to match the page (#contactuspage, #homepage, etc.), and by doing that you can focus your CSS on each page. I use that technique to influence the navigation to highlight the page that I am on (of course, I also put ids on the nav links, viz. #contactus, #home, etc., and #contactus2, #home2, etc. for the footer links). All these you would style in the CSS file. I'm pretty sure you can't pass actual content that way yet, but you can define background images.
I see that you are doing that sort of thing in your pages.
While you are in the template, look at the code just before the <body> tag. There should be something that says


</head>
Copy the two commented lines and change the word "head" to "body" []. Then put the BeginEditable line just before the <body> tag and the EndEditable line just after it. That should leave your body tag open for editing in Code View. Remember, all you want editable here is the <body> tag, not the whole <body> of the document.
Be sure to add editable regions in the rest of the page, controlling them as you wish.
At any rate, have courage...once you have fixed your template, the other 46 pages will fall into line!
Understand that I am working in DWCS4, so I don't know how this is going to work in DW8. Hopefully, it will work fine.
(Have you considered upgrading to CS4? You may still be able to do that from DW8 at an upgrade price.)

Need Help With iWeb Haloscan Comments

I posted an earlier question on how to get the blog comments to work for my iWeb site. As it turns out, the reason I couldnt get them to work anymore is because I changed the actual blog format; i.e. I added extra html. I think this was the problem.
Someone suggested that I use Haloscan comments on my site instead, a suggestion which I've heard a number of times. I'm not familiar however with Haloscan comments or how they work.
Is there anyone here who's familiar with how they work, and could walk me through it step-by-step?
I promise that I'm an educated person! Nevertheless, I apologize that I'm so dumb when it comes to getting these ridiculous comments to work.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

Hi,
1. You basically go to the haloscan site and set up a free account. There are a number of customizations but don't worry about that now....you can go back later once you get more familiar w/ what you are doing.
http://www.haloscan.com/
2. Get iComment as Varkgirl suggested.
http://web.mac.com/cbrantly/iWeb/Software/iComment.html
The iComment page will give instructions on how to install the haloscan. But the gist is:
a. Make a textbox on your page and place the word "InsertCommentsHere" but leave off the quotation marks.
b. publish your site.
c. open iComment. A dialogue box will appear...press cancel.
d. pull down iComment>preferences from the menu
e. check haloscan area "add comments to my site" and put your Haloscan username in as prompted. Then press OK
f. Then you will choose which site you want the comments to go....that's it...all done for you iComment makes it very easy.

Help With BBlink - locked out

Hi. I smashed my z30 screen. i was doing some work via bbm. i went and got a loaner phone from rogwrs but the contacts are just my old iphone contacts from icloud. neither of the people i am dealing with on my list. so i went to bblink. i have a passcode on my phone but i thought it was asking for the bblink password so i kept typing in my bblink password not my phone code until i used all 5 attempts. now i am supposed to enter it on my phone to get access but i am unable since its smashed. i really need access to these contacts so i continue on with the business at hand. they musty be wondering what happened to me. and i can see my led light blinking - please help!!

I think your only options are to beat the new code out of the eejit who changed it, try the 3 button reset on start-up (unfortunately, that way you will lose all data in phone memory) or take the phone and Proof of Purchase to a service centre .. where they'll probably reset it, thereby losing all your data

Can someone help with iWeb layout question

The layout screen seems to have me working in dimensions that are up and down. In other words, the layout guidelines look much like a 8X11 piece of paper oriented portrait style. When my content gets published, it looks the same when viewed on a computer in which the screen is oriented more "landscape style". The content fills about 1/2 the screen (in the middle). I'm using a plaing back background as the page template and looking at the published site on a 17" screen so that may make it worse.
Any suggestions?

If you mean you want to create "wider" pages just open inspector >click page tab and set "content width to say 1000 pix for a normal "full page"
If you mean you want to see a wider view while DESIGNING the pag simply open iweb and in the lower right hand corner drag the screen to make it wider
hope that helps:)

I need help with a lock

i have two methods
synchronized parsedata(){}
and
synchronized savedata(){}
they are synchronized because they use the same bufferedReader. However when a button on the gui is pressed i want parsedata to give up it's lock, but it never does. This only happens when i stop streaming data to the bufferedReader. If I keep streaming the data then the lock does release, however that isn't helpful, I need it to unlock when there is no more streaming data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

Okay here is a short version of both methods
in_data = new BufferedReader();
synchronized public void parsedata()
String newdata = in_data.readLine();
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizernewdata, "=");
command = st.nextToken();
/* Decode received data */
if((command.compareTo("DATA")) == 0)
try
for(int i = 0; i < block_size; i++)
value1 = st.nextToken();
//point count determines where we should be in the buffer
if(data_value1 != point_count)
for(int l = point_count; l < data_value1; l++)
// Fill Buffer A for writing data to the output file.
main_index_array[point_count] = -1;
point_count++;
} //end for
} //end if
/* Save data to InputDataBuffer */
main_index_array[point_count] = data_value1;
point_count++;
elseif(command == "BUTTON")
//do something else
synchronized public void savedata()
for(int i = 0; i < point_count; i++)
if(main_index_array[i] == -1)
String newdata = null;
while(newdata == null)
newdata = in_data.readLine(); // get some input
try
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(newdata, "=");
command = st.nextToken();
/* Decode received data */
if((command.compareTo("DATA")) == 0)
for(int j = 0; j < block_size; j++)
value1 = st.nextToken();
data_value1 = Integer.valueOf(value1).intValue();
outfile.println("" + data_value1);
} //end for
i = i + block_size -1;
} //end if
} //end try
catch(Exception io)
textField1.setText("no data yet");
} //end while
} //end if
else
outfile.println("" + main_index_array);
so as you can see i only try to read from the same bufferedReader if I am missing data. The problem I get is that the parsedata() routine seems to hang in the loop searching for data. If the parse recieves some command like button for example the parse finishes, releases the lock and goes on, however if it never recieves a command after the data has stopped streaming it doesn't release the lock. Thanx for your help

Help with iWeb for reader comments.

How do I create a place for reader comment/blogs on my site? I use iWeb.

If you're hosting your iWeb blog on a non-MobileMe server you'll lose the following features:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two feature will be broken.
You can add 3rd party commenting to your iWeb blog with one of these; DISQUS, IntenseDebate or Echo. Or, if you're just starting out with a new blog use one of the established blogging sites and embed it into one of your iWeb pages as in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page

Looking for help with iweb...

i recently got iweb 08 and have been trying to get a few things to work...
first of all, is there a way to put adsense ad's into text boxes (and then use word wrap), also, ive noticed that what ive done in the meantime is to create a box inside my textbox and then wordwrap around that box, then put my adsense over that box, only problem is that the adsense ads are not displaying in the correct position when people visit my site (they appear to be about 20 or so pixels too high)
second, is there a way to setup iweb's layout so that every time i create a new blog post it puts ads in for me?

Help Help with iweb

Hi is there anyone out there that can tell me Y I do not see any photos on an iweb photo page after we publish it??????
Can see em all in the building stage but when it goes out, not a Photo.
Thanks for all your help

Did you back up your Users folder? You blog and other web pages were/are in a file named domain.sites, located in yourusername/library/application support/iWeb.
If you reinstalled without backing up the domain file, it's possible that the domain file was overwritten by an "empty" one.
