Hyperlink path corrupted when publish

At the end of a blog I've embedded a hyperlink to a pdf. iWeb establishes the path itself when I "Choose" the correct file (which I've placed in the Entries folder where it seems to insist on looking for it).
If I make the link active while still in iWeb, it won't open the pdf. It seems to be looking in the Domain file (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/[pdf file name]).
If I publish it to a folder (kept somewhere in the Documents folder-I get tired of it always residing on the desktop-figured it doesn't matter where I put it) then look at it in my browser, I get, "File Not Found" with this path: /Users/asdteacher/Documents/School/School Website/Manila/PTA/Entries/2008/3/5%E2%80%9CMarch%E2%80%9D_Into_a_New_Monthfiles/March001-5.pdf. I get the identical result when the site is ftp'd to the web server and I try to link to the pdf from the published page.
One oddity is the continued addition to the pdf's name as if more and more copies are building up somewhere. The above version you'll notice has "-5" at the end. The original pdf (and as it seems to appear on the server) is simply "March001.pdf". Over the course of my working on it today it has grown from -1 clear up to the current -5. ?#*!?
On the server where this is published the enclosing folder is named (at least as I view it using CyberDuck, my ftp application): 5“March”_Into_a_New_Monthfiles
I'm wondering if the translation from English characters ("March") into the web symbols (%E2%80%9CMarch%E2%80%9D) is throwing it off?
I've worked on this several hours now. Seems this used to work quite well but I notice that my older pdf links are also dead ends. (http://manila.alpinedistrict.org/Welcome.html)
Any pointers or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

I'm wondering if the translation from English characters ("March") into the web symbols (%E2%80%9CMarch%E2%80%9D) is throwing it off?
It may not be the problem, but it would be better not to have that stuff there. The reason it is present is that you have used curly quotes around March. Change them to straight quotes and republish. Uncheck the box for smart quotes in Preferences > Auto Correction.

Part of website corrupt when publishing

Hi, New to forum. I've designed a website using iweb08, and been using it happily for about 8 month, but all of a sudden when publishing website to folders for upload, part of the website corrupts. I've uploaded the site www.bespokebarbeque.co.uk
bascially all works as wanted apart from the menu section.
Any help would be apreciated, as its been driving me mad for ages now.
Cheers

This happened to me too - but with my images. If your corruption is along the same lines Its because your images are too large. Resize them to the smallest possible, rename and then drag and drop again and you should be sorted

Internal hyperlinks not working when published

I published my website made in iweb to my own domain, and the links in the navigation bar I made don't work - they don't even register as hyperlinks. I published to .mac in case this was a data transfer problem, but the same thing happened. When I'm in iweb they all register as functioning hyperlinks (they are text made into links), but online they just don't register. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!!!

hi briebrie,
this is common mistake, see my post in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4004970#4004970
The work around is to leave iWeb default nav bar and header enabled, add your home made nav bar (outside/below of iWeb default nav bar).
Then turn off iWeb nav bar and header when you are done.

Picture hyperlinks not working when published? Please help....

Some of the hyperlinks to my pictures do not work when I publish to my folder. I´ve tried to empty Safaris cache but it still doesn´t work. Please help me, pretty urgent....

Imovie 11 looks fine in project view but is corrupted when published

I'm a very adept user of imovie and have quickly picked up imovie11. I have made several movies that all use the same title sequence.
When I publish them (I've tried youtube, itunes, media browser and mobile me) one of them posts just as I created it. The other two have seriously corrupt opening sequences (I have a transition, text/title screen and music in the opening sequence - not complicated).
The opening sequence is scrambled... a bunch of broken horizontal images... then plays the rest of the movie just fine. Help!

You can copy and paste clips between project, but not all the settings, etc.
To reuse a title sequence, I would suggest that you take the good project. Select it in the Project Library List. Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give the Duplicate a name and trim off everything but the opening sequence. You can then use this as a template when starting other projects.
If you need the sequence in an existing project, I would render the template you made above in Apple Intermediate Codec. You can then import this back into iMovie as an Event clip. Then you can use this in those existing movies.
If you are already doing it this way, let me know.

Hyperlinks go dead when I publish!!?

Everything works in iWeb. I replace the template menu links with my own (so I can control font, size, and placing). This has worked on two other sites.
But this time, when I publish the site to a folder all hyperlinks cease to work. Quicktime Videos also lock up, cease to work.
If I go back to the template menu items at the top, everything works. Only the template items are either badly placed, or the wrong color. I know how to change the hyperlink colors, but not the 'template menu link' colors (nor the placing).
Any help would be most appreciated.
Ben

Hi Jabberwock,
It FEELS as if there is some layer covering the links ... but I do a very careful look and can't find a thing. The 'template' menu links do work when published. But my homemade menu links (text - hyperlink) seem to freeze all links and Quicktime Video clips. Here are some of the pages, and 1 video clip link. I've done two other sites exactly the same way as this, with my own navigation menu, and had no problem.

All hyperlinks are not working when published

All of the links work on iweb 09; however, when published some of the links are not working. To get an idea of what I mean you can go to the site, thinkwhatif.org and see it. Would someone be able to provide an answer how to solve it? I have unlinked and relinked too and that didn't work (at least the one time I did it).
Thanks in advance for helping me figure it out.
I am learning..

Bonjour,
It's a layout issue. Two of your buttons (who or what) are in the navigation part of your page (nav_layer), which is back layer of your page. In your page, the content (body_layer) overlays the bottom of this layer (nav_layer) where the buttons are.
!http://i22.servimg.com/u/f22/09/02/44/99/layout10.jpg!
Show layout (iWeb > View > Show layout) and replace the buttons in the content. As you can see , you 've got also a empty textbox in the content

Special character issue with Adobe Reader 11.03 in hyperlink path

Adobe Reader changes a [ character in a hyperlink path to a % sign, thus changing the path and destroying the link,when opened in version 11.03. This does not happen with 11.01. This is a serious problem for our customers with a critical linked document, because the customers are generall not tech savvy, and categorically refuse workarounds. They will not adjust their Adobe version for fear of security issues. Can this be corrected in a future version of Adobe Reader?

How I fixed an "unkown error" problem when publishing to .Mac

I recently experienced the "unknown error" when attempting to publish my iWeb sites to my .mac account. The error popped up early in the publishing operation, on a site that I had published many times before. I looked around in my iWeb domain folder, and noticed this file:
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites/cached_resources/configuration.apple.com/configuratio ns/internetservices/iapps/publishConfiguration.plist
Looking at the content (it contains XML data), it was obvious that the file was corrupt, with some data at the end missing. Maybe something went wrong when it was written. As it is in a directoy called "cached_resources", I figured, iWeb should be able to recreate it. So I quit iWeb, removed the file, restarted iWeb. Voila, the file was recreated, without corruption, and publishing works again without a hitch.

Might the error be -50?

Cannot get next captivate to open when published as a zip

I am currently using Cap 4, but have the trial of Cap 5 as well.
I have a 7 mod course and need to be able to open the next Captivate module from the the last slide of the current module.
I have inserted a button with a path to the next movie, it works in both versions 4 and 5 when I publish in a folder, but when I publish as a zip file I get an error stating it cannot find the path.
I have moved the swf and html into the zip with the current movie, but it still errors out.
Can we "chain" the modules this way when publishing as a zip? I do need it to be a zip file for loading into LMS.
I'd appreciate any info that can help me out.

How are you asking the next project to open? Are you using a URL or the Project File Name? How are you publishing the files?
I've used this technique before with success (although never loaded it into an LMS). I used the Start/End under Preferences and linked to the Project name. All of the .exe files were in the same zip folder.
I'm not sure if the .exe works with an LMS, though.

Doesnt seem to connect when published in a browser

Hey friends.. im a total newbie to Flash Media server.. i
just started using this for the past 2 days..so, heres the problem
im facing..i ve a simpleConnect component and a connectionlight
component on my stage and i connect both of em..the connectionlight
goes green when i test movie in flash(ie Ctrl+Enter).. but when i
Publish(F12) it in a browser.. the light is red.. why isnt it
connecting to the server when ublished in a browser?i hope u
understand my problem..please Help me out..
Cheers~~

When published in a browser you need to adjust your Flash
Player's security settings and allow outbound connections for files
being in the directory where your swf file is. Remember: The html
and the swf are served from the local file system (C:\path\to\swf)
and the swf then tries to connect to your fms machine:
(rtmp://yourserver/app). You should actually have seen an error
message when you first tried.
Alternatively you could put your SWF onto a web server (like
your users would)

IWeb Quits when Publishing - Apple Genius said to Archive & Reinstall

Just spent over an hour with an Apple Genius at the Apple store to see if he could alleviate my problem with iWeb quitting whenever I tried to publish. I've been using iWeb for the last 5 months and have successfully posted hundreds of blog posts and pictures to my site on a .Mac account - but in the last 24 hours, I've been unable to get new posts published because iweb has been crashing prior to finishing the publish request.
I've tried deleting the iWeb preferences in /myname/library/prefernces as well as clearing my cache files and plain old rebooting. Also tried reinstalling the 1.1. update. The Genius reinstalled iWeb at the store and then I updated. Nothing's been fixed. I still crash when I publish. The only possible solution (according to the Genius) is to bite the bullet and do an Archive and Install. Anyone had luck with this?

I would go with a second User account first, as suggested by James.
If this doesn't work, I would be thinking corrupt prefs files within the domain file itself....
1. Quit iWeb
2. Navigate to the domain file, User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain
3. CREATE A COPY OF THIS FILE, and then move it to somewhere safe.
4. Now back to the original, "control+click" (Right click if you have one of those new fangled two button mice (mouses?!?) )
5. From the pop-up menu, choose "Show Package Contents"
6. Sort the finder window by "Kind", it brings all of the plist files inside iWeb together.
assets.YourUserName.plist - This one is a regular problem!
ServerCachedResources.plist
sharedassets.plist
deletedComments.YourUserName.plist
I have deleted all of these when having different problems, not specifically iWeb quittting when publishing, I dont think that that has happened to me.
I do have a tendancy to lose blog comments, perhaps deleting these files has caused it.
I also know that once I have deleted them and relaunched iWeb, done a Publish All to .Mac, all of my problems have gone.
The plist files are all recreated the first time you do this.
You may or may not want to try this, but on a copy of your domain.sites file is there anything to lose? Other than your sanity?
You might want to do one at a time or all at once.
Anyway, thats my 2 pence worth, I'm English really!!!
