How to add widgets to iweb...

hi guys, i tried looking for this but so far i haven't found a solution, i'm building a website using iweb and i want to have a twitter widget, calender (found on in the forum) and a map which i can tag with photos for a vacation i am going on. is there anyone who can help or give me pointers.

I can help you with the calendar. This demo page has one that was published by iCal and embedded into the page. It also has two ways to embed a Google map.
As for the twitter widget I can't help you, too many generations removed from it. If you can get the code from a twitter page you can add it to a HTML Snippet and iFrame code in iWeb.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to put metadata in iweb?

Anyone knows how to add metadata in iweb?
I found something called iWebmore, a program made by a person out there, but it seems old (ilfe06?) and doesn't really cut it.
Any good ideas how to do it?
Ken

Noone knows?
If you don't want to use iweb more, then you open your published .html pages with a text editor and add whatever you want. You have to redo it every time you republish.
If you are concerned about search engines, search the forum for Google or search engine to fine other discussions on the topic.

Sony SmartWatch 2 SW2 - how to add winget

I have Sony SmartWatch 2 and I dont know how to add widgets if it is possible please answer!?

As far as I'm aware the only widget for the SM2 would have been for the walkman however from what I have read there was an issue with pixelation and as such it was removed - Maybe this will be brought back in future updates but for now there are no widgets available.

I'm creating Tool Tip definitions for the Operators in the Filter on the Interactive Reports.

The IR "Contains" filter performs a simple string comparison on all of the column values returned. It does not make use of any Oracle Text indexes on the underlying data.

How to add an audio widget in IBA?

HI,
I want to record an audio and to add it in IBA.
I know how to make an audio widget and how to add a song from my list of music.
But how could i record my voice? With what? Do Apple offer an application for that?
Tx

How old is your Mac? Did it come with preinstalled iLife applications?
Then you might want to give GarageBand a try.
GarageBand comes with many predefined filters to enhance vocals, or to make it sound like a Life performance, radio effect, like a megaphon, etc. And you have automation curves to adjust the volume, for example to fade the voice out.
Also you can trim and mix several recordings and position the sound along the stereo baseline. This way you can let the voice walk from left right or let a car drive by.
This screenshot shows how to use the predefined effects for voices, the Track pan automation to move the voice from left to right, the track volume automation to adjust the volume, and the "record" button to record a voice on one of the tracks in the time line.

How to add sub pages in iWeb templates

Anybody knows how to add a sub pages in the templates? I want to add sub pages under the main header, e.g. "About Us."

Just to say that you can do it in the way that Steve has already said and I did this on one of my sites and it worked really well.
Lets take your example of About George. You create your page About George and you include this page in your navigation menu. Now lets suppose that you have more that you want to add about George with two other pages - George at Work and George at Play. You want to link to these pages from About George, but you don't want the page names visible. Well, you can do this by creating the pages and then going to Inspector. Click on pages and then check don't include in navigation menu. Then you can create links on the About George page to get to the other pages George at Work and George at Play - use shapes or text boxes to create these with something like Back and Next on those pages to take you forward to the next page and then back to the main page.
I think you will need to create your own nav bar to be able to achieve this, as it means linking to different pages, but it does work well.

Social networking share widgets for iWeb... any solutions?

I've been trying in vain for sometime to get one of the social networking share widgets (ShareThis, AddThis, TellaFriend) to work in iWeb 08 and am hoping someone might be able to help.
With all i am pasting the code provided by these services into the HTML Snippet box. I am using the popup functions, since without doing so requires the HTML Snippet box to be resized unacceptably large obscuring other links on the page. The widgets are published fine, however the link they provide when posting to social networking site or included in an email add an additional extension on the URL that just links to an image of the widget. (i.e. http://web.me.com/fknott/CrystalCove_Properties_2//Home_files/widget1markup.html) the URL should end Home.html.
Does anyone know how to fix this? the tech folks at each of these sites have been no help at all. Are there any other share widgets aside from these that will work seemlessly with iWeb?
I really appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Troy

Hello Marc,
The code generated by ShareThis will not work with iWeb/insert HTML snippet.
You'll have to put it inside the body tags of every HTML page at the location where you want it to show.
Attention : the code is inserted after publishing = outside iWeb ! Every time you change a page in iWeb and publish it, you'll need to enter the code again.
To automate this process you can use [TextWrangler|http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler>
_ in iWeb on every page you want ShareThis, create a new textbox and add something that is unique and easy to find afterwards when the page is published as a HTML page : ex. AAAAAA,
_ move the textbox to the location where you want it to show, resize if needed,
_ publish your website with iWeb,
_ mount your iDisk in the Finder,
_ open TextWrangler and the first thing you do is "start recording",
_ open the first HTML file you see in your Site, ex. index.html (It's OK if that page doesn't have the AAAAAA) +(when you have the ShareThis on a specific Site or Blog only, locate that folder),
_ in the Search field enter AAAAAA,
_ in the Replace fiel enter the code provided by ShareThis,
_ do a "replace in all files in this folder" where you select your Site or Blog folder,
_ stop recording and save the script for later,
_ unmount iDisk from the finder.
Done.
On my Blog entry about [Favicons|http://www.site49.eu/Leo/Tips4Mac/Entries/2009/2/15_Favicons.html|Add favicons to iWeb websites] you can find some screenshots on how to use TextWrangler as an automated search and mass replace tool.
Kind regards,
Leo

How to add an audio file to a link

I am working on a project using IWeb and I am trying to figure out if it is possible and then, if it is how to add an audio file to a link. I would really be glad of your help as I am having problems meeting the requirements of the project if I don't make it work.
Also, is it possible when having added a movie clip from quick time player to have the clip start as soon as the page is "opening", that is without pressing the play button?
I am waiting in great suspense to see if anybody can help me out. If you have the answers to my questions, please send me an email at [email protected] - thank you so much :o)

Hi Maiken
Welcome to the discussion forums.
All you need is open iWeb, select text or image, open inspector, go to link, check the "enable as a hyperlink" box, in "link to" there's a teardown menu where you select "a file" and select the file you want to link to.
If you want to have it downloading look at [this|http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Downloads.html]
For the second question:
select the movie file in iWeb go to inspector, then to the last icon (showing the quicktime logo) and check the box that say "Autoplay".

Cédric

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.
