Iweb & Google Map

I am a 1st time Iweb user and am working on a fairly simple wed site. I have seen this topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10968590&#10968590 but have a different question or problem.
I used the HTML snippet and inserted the code for my Google Calander. When I try to use the Calander (look at upcomming events) etc.. the HTML code appears. when I click on the Calander 3 times and it is now selected, I close the HTML code window and I can view the Calander. What am I doing wrong or is this just happening in Iweb. I have not yet published it yet, I want to make sure all is working before I replace the old site.
Thanks

The subject is Google Maps, the content is about the calendar.
What code did you paste in the HTML Snippet?
You paste the code in the Snippet, then try to use it, then you close the HTML snippet and then you can view it.
It seems the order of events you describe is rather confusing. But in the end the calender shows. Isn't that the purpose?
And what do you see when you publish the page?
And you don't replace a site just because the calender does/does not work. Use a duplicate page and practice on that.

IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
into my site, now that MobileMe is gone??? I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
Thanks, Eric U

You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4. You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

Iweb, google maps/earth .kml or api

i am trying to do is put a web album on my iweb website, i would like to have the photos shown in a google map such as using in a kml from google earth or maybe create it in "my maps" and embedding it in on my website. any ideas how i can do that or am i doomed to only be able to link it to another webpage not made with iweb? my friend has done so using wordpress for the and the site is http://www.aaron-and-erika.com

Iweb google map link

I am using iweb (novice) to build my fishing club website, I want to insert a google map to show fishing locations. When I attempt this by following the guide int he help section I get the message that Mobileme is closed..... Cn anyone out there advise me please, is this a permanent situation?

Many thanks, I guess it only came to light when i started building my website. I have solved the issue i think by taking a link from Google maps and hyperlinking it directly.

When i try to use my google maps widget i get mobileme is closed...any suggestions?

Can anyone advise how my mobileme account was linked to the iweb "google maps" widget. i get mobileme is closed when trying to use the widget on my new website

The Google Maps widget had "API's" that were hosted on the MobileMe Servers.
You can still use google map however, you will need to get the embed code from google and paste it into a "HTML Snipet" in iWeb
You will want to copy the "<iframe" for the html Snippet

Create .kml based google map in iWeb

Using iWeb 08, I can easily and successfully insert google maps into my pages using the web widget. I am then limited to an address though for the base map.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to insert a google earth based .kml file in iWeb so that when a user opens the page, the desired placemarks etc... are displayed and available?
If so, how might I go about accomplishing this?
any pointers are very much appreciated!

Don't use iweb2 google map widget.
Instead, go to google map, enter the GPS coordinates, then add it using HTML Snippet. See this thread:

In iWeb, Why should my Google map be linked to MobileMe

I have a Google map on my website.
Now that MobileMe has closed I cannot use Google Maps.
In iWeb, Why should my Google map be linked to MobileMe when I have never joined MobileMe?
Any help please

The Google map widget assets were hosted on MobileMe.
Use the Google Map code in an HTML Snippet instead.
Google has a good tutorial for creating basic maps...

Iweb Widget Google Maps doesn't work anymore

Hello, I wanted to update my website and I experienced that teh Widget of Google Maps is not working anymore. You can drag it on the page and then enter an adress. If you choose "apply" it is not working. How can I solve this problem?

This probably means that you are using iWeb 08 or iWeb 2 and you are correct that this will not run on the latest software, however iWeb 09 or 3 will, so if you want it to work, you will have to purchase iWeb 09, contained in either iLife 11 or iLife 09 via Amazon.
No, of course you won't find iWeb for sale in the App store because as this thread has been telling you, both it and MobileMe have not existed for at least that last 2 years and Apple withdrew support for iWeb sometime ago along with MobileMe, which has now become iCloud.
If you want iWeb 09, you will have to purchase it from Amazon - this is the only way that you can get it, but now might be a good time to move on and use some software that is both sold and supported such as EverWeb. Take a look at it. It is designed to be like iWeb but you can do a lot more.

Can't print Google Maps embedded in iWeb 08 pages

I have created a web page using iWeb 08; the page has several Google maps embedded. I realize that the Google maps are interactive but I can't find a way to print the web page showing the Google maps. When I print, I get blank space where the maps are. I've tried printing from Safari, iWeb and via PDF but none of these methods print the map as shown on the screen. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help.
James

You cannot.
It's the way Apple embeds the map in the page.
Solution: Go to Google Maps, find your location, copy the HTML Embed code and paste it with the HTML Snippet.
Next problem: When printing the page, I see scroll bars on the printed page.
Problems, problems problems, will it ever stop.

Iweb 08 and Google Maps

Hi Guys
I recently purchased ilife 08, mainly to get the functionality of being able to embed a Google Map into my website. This works fine on my Macbook, but when I try and upload it to my website (not a .Mac address), whilst the page displays with a big "hole" where the Google map should be, the Google map itself does not populate the page. Any ideas if this is a known "bug"?
Also, my Welcome page worked fine with iweb 06, but in iweb 08, the links to the other pages of my site at the top of the page are not visible at all. I'm currently stuck with my iweb 06 built site and unable to take advatage of the updated 08.....
Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

When you publish, iWeb '08 generates three items that were not present in iWeb '06.
They are...
feed.xml
Media
Scripts
Make sure you have uploaded them to your server.
Are you talking about the navigation menu not showing in iWeb or on the published site?
If it's not present in iWeb make sure that the "display navigation menu" box is checked in the "page" inspector.
If it's not on the published site make sure you have uploaded the file I mentioned above.

Inserting Google map into iweb page

Hello
I have just bought iWeb 2, and used it to start a website at http://web.mac.com/peterdewit/toymaker/Home.html. (it comes up if you leave the end bit off!)
I followed what seemed to be incredibly simple instructions to create a Google map. It looked so easy I thought it was too good to be true. Unfortunately that turned out to be the case!
After more than one hour I gave up. A map of 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino California was determined to remain as the star attraction of my Location page. Even my wooden Royal Danish Life Guard and Grenadier Guards Drum Major couldn't remove it!
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help gratefully accepted.

Here's a wild guess...
Sometime ago, I read in this forum about somebody having problems with the default email address used by iWeb for the "email me" button. It seems to get this from your personal information in "Address Book" which you filled in when you first opened the application.
If you didn't do this, it is probably still using the Apple Computer Inc. information.
Try trashing the Apple entry and make sure your own "user" one is up to date with your correct address, email etc.
I hope this helps - I DID say it was a wild guess!

My Google Map was Changed by iWeb to The MobileMe web page!!!?????

I had a previously published site that included a Google map for directions. After editing a different page in my site and publishing, iWeb changed my google map to Apple's corporate address and the map was replaced by the mobileme web page. I have tried to overrite the page, deleted the page and constructed a new one but I can only get the mobileme webpage. It won';t accept my requested address...Any suggestions or anyone else having this problem?

It's done that to mine as well. That's not the only issue that has arisen since the transition to MobileMe. Based on what I'm reading here in the discussions, it looks like there aren't any solutions and most likely won't be until Apple releases either an iWeb update or does some serious work on the iWeb hosting feature of the MobileMe service. It's frustrating. I'm sure they're aware of the problem and are trying to solve it.

Add a google map to iweb

How do I add a Google Map widget onto iWeb now that the Mobileme is closed?

IWeb page generates IE9 error for Google Maps API key

My iWeb site generates an error in IE9 "This web site needs a different Google Maps API key". Is there any fix in iWeb for this?
I've found this link that offers a solution for IE9 users. It seems to be a bug with IE9 mixed content security settings, but people will blame my website and not their browser
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/ie-9-is-telling-me-my- website-needs-a-different/59bfa1ed-f757-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5
Excerpt from that site "Okay, I resolved the issue. I went into my Security settings. Under Miscellaneous I changed Display mixed content to "Enable". I believe there is a bug in the Display mixed content feature. I should be able to keep the setting at "Prompt", then see the content when I click the appropriate option when prompted. I believe the Google Maps API message was shown in error."

You have to get your own API key: https://code.google.com/apis/console/
My map uses a custom solution (Web Apps & Google Maps API V3) and is still working fine.

Do google maps still work in iweb 08?

I just checked our website (randomly) and noticed that a google map that we had put up is no longer working. We've used iWeb '08 to create and publish our website. It appears that the google maps widget no longer works. Is this a common thing? Is this a new direction that Apple is going? Has anybody else had this problem? If so, how did they fix it? Help please.

Yes, of course it is a common thing and yes of course others have had this problem and you would have found this out if you had done a search of the forum before posting.
Your problem is far from unique and is due to the MobileMe closure at the end of June this year. Some elements of the Google map widget were stored on the MobileMe servers which is why it no longer works.
There is a very simple fix and all you need to do is go to Google maps and set up the map that you want and then copy and paste the code from that into an ordinary html snippet in iWeb and click Apply in the normal way and you will have your map back.
