IWeb 2.01 - does publish empty pages

I have just updated from a dual G4 to a MacPro. It came with iWeb '08. Previously I was using iWeb '07 (v1.x). I can see all pages just fine, but when I publish it to DOT-mac the content is missing. All I can see is a message "Blog Summary Widget" on the top and " Exception: TypeError" on the bottom.
I have searched the forum and with Google; it seems there were other people reporting identical issues but the articles have been deleted (by Apple).
I have tried to publish twice, made some changes, then tried again. My site is still as good as unuseable. Anybody can help me ?
thanks,
Thomas

I have found a workaround here ( iWeb Blog Summary Widget error);
which is copy/paste the content and re-create the pages.

My HTML snippet widget on iWeb looks great on iWeb, but when I publish the page the HTML snippet doesn't appear on the webpage. Why?

I pasted in some HTML code generated by Google Forms into the iWeb HTML snippet widget. It looked great on my iWeb viewer, but when I published it to my website, the HTML snippet google form did not appear on my webpage. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the code?

The publishing settings page does not open when I click on the domain name and the iWeb application will not stay on the dock.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend who is having problems publishing her website. (She has done so previously using Mobile me)
There seem to be a couple of things wrong with the application,
1 if I drag the application icon onto the dock, it won't stay there
2 I wanted to change where her site is published to (she has bought a domain name and has a hosting service now) but when I click on the domain name I do not get the "site publishing settings page" so we can't enter the new details. All that comes up is the main page of her website.
I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing Iweb, to see if that clears the problem, but as Iweb came pre-installed with her Imac, I am not sure that we can do this.
Any ideas please?
she's using and imac 24 in (approx 4 years old) and running osx 10.5.8

NO - not correct. Even if you are still using iWeb 08, you can still publish to another host and not MobileMe. You do this by selecting the option 'Publish to a local folder" and this will publish the site to your desktop and you can then use an ftp programme such as Cyberduck to upload your site to your host.
MobileMe will not be here after the end of June, so you will have to find alternative hosting. They are not taking any new subscriptions.
On new Macs, iLife 11 is pre-installed, but only iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are included, not iWeb and iDVD. The Apple Online store is not selling the boxed version of iLife 11 any longer, so if you want to upgrade to iLife, then you'll have to look online at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for a boxed set of either iLife 09 or iLife 11. Both contains iWeb 09, which is what you would want.

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

Published iWebsite pages turn red when scrolling pages in iWeb

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if I'm the only person who has this issue; when I publish my iweb sites and pages (to MobileMe) all goes well, but when I then scroll my page up and down in iWeb the site turns red again as if I have changed its content.
I've tried the usual stuff (deleted caches, prefs, logged into MM under a bogus username and password) to check if the problem is a MM issue but this also occurs when I publish to a folder...
I've repaired disk permissions and did a fresh install of OS X (10.6.7) two weeks ago.
Does anyone have any other suggestions which might solve this issue? Or perhaps even the same problem?
cheers,
koen

Brilliant OT!
Although immediately posting to the discussions group says something about my personal opinion on the reliability of iWeb ... the problem was caused as you expected; the double digit finger action.
So 'no swiping in iWeb' I suppose.
The 'turning red' of published site pages was 100% reproducible by scrolling down using my trackpad, but it doesn't happen when I use my mighty mouse or the arrow buttons/scroll bar thing. (Even although nothing was selected in iWeb, bit of a bug if you'd ask me)
Thanks again for pointing out the logical and to me not so obvious
cheers,
koen

My iWeb always publish every pages... Why ?

I made a second iWeb site recently, and it appears that everytime i publish on .Mac, it takes very long time; when I look at the files that are uploaded to .Mac Servers, I see every single file of my two sites, even the unmodified pages !!
I'm pretty convinced that it is not the normal way of publishing for iWeb...
I thought that "blue pages" , that means unmodified pages, was not uploaded, but only the red pages (modified pages).
Does someone have the same problem ?
What can I do to speed up my iWeb publishing ?

I am having the same problem and as someone who has made a living designing and updating pages Apple's way of "managing" web publishing is obtuse at best.
I currently have three "sites" in my iWeb site organizer. If I simply want to make a single web page with a movie on it for my friends to view, I create a new site, make the movie page, and then try and publish this page (as iWeb sees it a "site") to a folder it publishes every page of every other site to that folder. This does not change when you hold down the option key.
I am either missing something or Apple is a bit daft in its grasp of how people might find use for their web page software. I like the templates and ease with which you can integrate of all your Mac generated media - but I do not see a simple solution for making a "one off" page.
Dual 1.8 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5g RAM

IWeb re-creates all of my pages EVERY TIME I publish a few, minor changes..

It all works properly after 1.1.1 but everytime I add a single page (even if I unflag the "include in menu" option) the site marker turns to red. Then, when I publish the changes, iWeb basically re-creates my whole site (taking more than one hour and a half!!!) but then, and here comes the laugh, it only publishes the actual changes (thus, takin no more than 5 minutes to upload them)!!!
So WHY does it attempt to re-create all of my site when it perfectly knows there are only a couple of things that will eventually get uploaded?!?
My site is structured in many different "sites" with various pages each: no matter what, when I add a page in one of the "sites" it starts to re-create all of them.
It's frustrating because it's (obviously) an intollerable waste of time (which doesn't occur when, for istance, I add a blog post or anything else not modifying the site structure).
****...

If I could, I'd send you a couple of screen-shots of
my tree structure just to give you an idea of my
situation... ^^
You are certainly most welcome to send any screenshots my way so that I can take a look. Just send them to: [email protected]. We can also do a chat sometime if I'm online. You can see my online status on my webpage: http://www.dirtdoog.com Just click and chat if I'm online.
The problem, however, is: usually, you may not
publish on a same .Mac account from different
computers/domain-files because any attempt to upload
would modify the homepage of the .Mac site.
This is not true. The default page or site that opens when you type in your short URL (http://web.mac.com/yourname) is currently governed by whatever page you have listed first in order in the Site Organizer in iWeb. You can publish from another Domain file and iWeb will just put the files in a folder right next to the site folder that is already there. Just make sure to name the sites uniquely...otherwise one will overwrite the other. In general when you publish multiple sites with multiple Domain files, the first published site is the default for your short URL. It's probably easier just to resort to the full URLs in any case...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/SiteOne
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/SiteTwo, etc, etc.
Could I do that by keeping the homepage identical in
all of the domain files (actually, it could be my
DISCLAIMER PAGE) and then modifying the others
separately and linking them to each other as external
links?
This seems confusing to me. If you were to revamp your whole site and plan to separate it out into different Domains, I would suggest a separate Domain just for the homepage and disclaimers and what not...this would be like the very top level of your global site. And then you could have links to the various sections in this site and be able to make changes that wouldn't have to affect the other sites under it. But I think you have the general idea.
Before you go doing all of this, it would probably pay to have it well planned out on paper and also well organized on your Mac desktop. During the separating process, you'll need to make several copies of your current Domain file and keep them organized by uniquely name folders (since you cannot change the name of the Domain file). It's an involved process, but logically it makes sense.
As usual, if you find any of this information to be useful, could you do me a favor and provide me with feedback using the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of my reply? Thanks.
Don't worry, if you run out of "helpful" and "solved" stars to give out, I'm still more than happy to help in any way that I can!

TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

IWeb wont publish updated pages to site using Mobileme

Tried to publish 2 updated pages to my current iWeb site published on Mobileme. Am directed through a Facebook username and password login. (Don't remember this step from prior publishing.) Then nothing happens. No site update. No option to publish site available within iWeb. And no way I see to save my changes made in iWeb before I exit the program to try to figure out. I have lost work twice. What is happening and how do I correct the trouble?

You must have checked the box next to "Update my Facebook profile when I publish this site."
Click the site name at the top of the left column in iWeb to get to the Publishing Settings page to change this.

Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https?

Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https and port 37542 (https://localhost:37542/), but displays page properly when regular port is used (https://localhost/).
Both links return the same json response and work properly in other browsers. Certificate for localhost service was installed to the storage.

Problem solved.
I added headers for localhost service response and page displayed normally.

Firefox does not correctly print - creates empty pages and cuts of content when printing

When trying to print out pages Firefox first prints a lot of empty pages, and then only a part of the content. Example:
https://online.medunigraz.at/mug_online/wbTvw_List.lehrveranstaltung?pStpSpNr=182778
When entering "print prview" you can see empty pages.
When printing this page with Internet Explorer all is fine.

Thanks for this hint, but it does not help.
This problem does not appear in Internet Explorer, and it should be reproduceable. At least I thought so, so it would help if others could try to click on the link and try to print. They should have the same troubles.

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right? If so that's a known issue.
There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File. That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

FF does not open my home page, it serves an empty page

I have google.com set in preferences as my home page. When FF 4 (I just installed yesterday) starts, it serves me an empty page, not what is set in preferences. How to fix this?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

Images enlarge and movies play in iweb, but not when published

Everything works fine in the program, but when published to site or folder, photos are there, but won't enlarge. The movie thumbnail shows with the little movie icon in the corner, but clicking does nothing.

On all of your pages you have an image that appears to cover the photos preventing them from being clicked on.
Move it to the back via the Arrange menu or get rid of it.
How did you add the videos to the page? If you just dragged them onto the page or used the movie page then iWeb will have to upload them when it publishes the page and all will load when the page is accessed which can cause long loading time for the page.
Also thre are some files missing for the TV page as seen in the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page. Publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open it there. Check to see if the movies play OK (after you fix that overlaying image issue). If they do then the problem lies in the uploading of the files.
If those files are Quicktime then the viewers must have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to view them. See this page on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site for methods of presenting movies that will let all computers view them: Player-Showcase.html. See the list at the right for different players you can use.
