IWeb Localization

Hello,
I am building a web site using iWeb (3.0.4) for someone in Germany. I would like to be able to change the text displayed on the slide show from "play slideshow" to whatever in German.
I went into the generated html for the page and found the statement:
                                            WriteLocalizedString('com-apple-iweb-widget-headercontrols', 'Play Slideshow');
Changing this is easy, but means changing the page every time I re-publish the site.
From the statement/function it would seem that apple have realized that there may be some localization necessary. Does anyone know where I can use or get at this feature. I use Lion in English and obviously don't want to change my entire system for the sake of one line on a web-page.
I also tried pasting the generated code with the changed text as a new html snippet, but that would not work for some reason. It just displayed a small empty box in iweb but nothing on the generated page.
TIA
-Paul White-

  • Localization in the XML

    Okay, I realize not many of you will know this, but I'm hoping there's a chance we've got another XML hacker out here.
    In the XML, there's an attribute for localization. It's used on any page where the template provides a fixed text element for you, i.e. the "Add a Comment" text link or the "Next" and "Previous" links in your blog. It uses this attribute to flag the text as a localizable string and I'm guessing that this flag also causes iWeb to go to some PLIST file and get the appropriate string for the user's language.
    Now I've noticed that this attribute seems to disappear from the XML when you generate a template from a domain file - not surprising I suppose. I can insert the tags manually (which I'm realizing I need to do and haven't to date).
    My question is related then to this situation: I have a guy using one of my templates. He's getting the @post error on his blog pages where the Add a Comment should be. On all three of his computers, he's at version 1.1.2 and he's not using Arial, nor is the template, so the Apple fix listed in the knowledge base is not the solution for him.
    Furthermore, any Apple template he uses DOES work. It shows the text "Add a Comment", and when I publish using my template it works just fine for me. So there is indeed something about his machine that plays into this, but there's also something about my template that also plays into it.
    After doing the diffs on the XML, the only difference was the localization attribute :-O
    So I'm wondering how this might play into this scenario. He's an English speaker and his pages are written in English, although I did not ask whether his system language was something other than English. Have to check on that.
    Maybe Mario is reading this, or Peter, or someone who understands the broader issues with that @post error. Fingers crossed. Any insights would be much appreciated.

    Okay I heard from Matt. Here's what he writes:
    I am in Germany, but I'm English, and my computer system is installed in English everywhere. I guess that's International English, not British English, though. My keyboard is a German one - that's true for all the computers in the house. Spell-checker to British English. And yes, I did use Delocalizer to remove foreign language files from the MacBook and also my girlfriend's iBook, but not from the Mini Mac; and the current version of iWeb on both the MacBook and the Mini Mac are new installations, of 1.1.1, and fully multi-lingual.
    He also noted that all languages are checked when using Get Info on the iWeb icon. I'm beginning to think this isn't related to the localization attribute. He tested that by the way and it didn't work.
    I pinged a number of people using SoftWhite. I heard from one who did indeed duplicate the problem. Not only that, her navigation bar fonts were really rough looking.
    So now I'm wondering if this isn't a font issue. It works just fine for me, but maybe I have a version of Lucida Grande that's not as new? I'm going to explore the font possibility as you know, if iWeb thinks the font is non-standard, it automatically generates a PNG image.
    It has to be this. I sent Matt an updated template file that used Verdana for the Comment font so we'll see what he reports after that.

  • IWeb Publishes Site...

    Then when visiting - the site is not updated to the version that was just "published." This is the first problem I have had with iWeb. I have published in the same manner time and time again without problem. What is going on?
    Specifically...
    New blog entries are said to be published by iWeb - but the site does not have navigation for the new blogs. Very frustrating.

  • Rename buttons or embedded links in iWeb - another language?

    Hi, need to change the embedded, default links in iweb to another language. Fora example, rename the play slideshow, subscribe, or download options found on many of the iWeb templates. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    . How can I change the language in OS?
    You go to system prefs/internationa/languages and move your language to the top of the list, using the Edit button if necessary. But there is no Greek localization for the OS, unless you have perhaps bought your machine in Greece, where a seller like Rainbow might have added his own software for that.
    The 18 localizations that come with OS X are listed in its tech specs:

  • Cannot publish from iWeb 08 after upgrading to Leopard

    When I click on Publish from iWeb I first get a window .Mac Information asking me to login and a smaller window saying "logging in to iWeb". I click on sign in button from .Mac Information window and then get the System Preferences window telling me I am signed in and giving me my account status. From here nothing happens. The "logging into iWeb" message stays and nothing happens.
    What should I do?

    Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too! I have experienced both modem/network problems and was unable to publish in Tahiti and Cook Islands because of that and now these problems which have nothing to do with network it seems - so yours may or may not be network related. I was able to cheat and copied my "Site" folder from my hard drive to my iDisk rather then publishing. I can't remember if you've tried this or not (read a lot of strings today) but you can publish to a folder and then copy that folder to your iDisk at /Web/Sites/iWeb/Site as "Site" after first renaming the one that is out there now. Let me know if you have any questions on how to do it. It sounds like you are traveling like we are and anxious to communicate with friends and family back home. When you are bored, our site is web.mac.com/baganworldtour.
    At least we now have our first update out there in two weeks. But it took almost two hours to copy the folder and this won't work forever. Hopefully we, whether by the discussion room or .mac support next week, will be able to fix the problem for real.
    Thanks. Good Luck. Merry Christmas

  • How do I stop iWeb outputting multiple image files? It makes my site slow!

    I'm a professional web designer (but don't let that put you off) who uses Dreamweaver and also handcodes HTML & CSS websites at work on a PC, but having got a new Mac for home use I thought I'd give iWeb a go for a personal site hosted on .Mac, showcasing my music and film efforts, that I didn't want to have to think about coding.
    I've built a short little site using the attractive 'Travel' theme, just 5 or 6 pages so far, and have not yet added any multimedia content. However, it seemed to take ages to upload it when I published it to .Mac. So then I went to view it, and it was soooo sloooow to download each page, even on my 4mb cable connection. I know it's a fairly graphically-rich theme, but still!
    I noticed that it was redrawing the navigation menu each time... and upon close inspection of the HTML code using Safari's 'View Source' to my horror I found out that that each page has a seperate '_files' folder that contains multiple versions of files that are also used in other pages - including navigation buttons and background images. I also saw that every element has styling applied to it 'inline' in the code, rather than in a single seperate style-sheet.
    To confirm this I published it to a folder on my hard drive and checked it all out. What a mess!
    As a WYSIWYG web page editor iWeb is great but it's an undisputable fact that the HTML markup and CSS code it produces is absolutely appaling. What's worse though is that it also renders whole swaithes of text as images and that it does create seperate folders for each pages content including images, CSS code and navigation buttons - so even though the same images and code are used throughout the site for the background and buttons and layout, they are written out as seperate files and have to be reloaded with every page!!!
    This means that the .Mac server must be getting hammered and webpages are very slow to download and slow to render in Safari - it's almost like dialup when I'm viewing my iWebsite, and like I said, I've got a 4mb cable connection!
    Looking at the code iWeb produces, it is good to see that tables are not used for layout, and that's one thing in its favour. But surely the whole point of providing 'themed' templates for users is that the same content is used across the site and therefore doesn't need to be created multiple times - one of the benefits of using CSS stylesheets. Why doesn't iWeb create a single stylesheet and make efficient use of repeated images instead of creating multiple instances of the same file for each page?
    Perhaps there is a setting somewhere I've missed. If so, let me know someone!
    It is a great WYSIWYG editor, but behind the scenes it's not efficient, it's not clean and simple and it's certainly not attractive - and I'm surprised at that coming from Apple! I know iWeb is a great tool for beginners and I'm a picky professional, but if I was Joe Public First Time Web Designer I'd be very annoyed by this.
    Clean it up and sort it out Mr Jobs!
    PS: Also, where does iWeb store the website whilst it's in production? I can't find it anywhere?

    Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
    If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
    Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
    Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
    Download iWebBackup Here
    You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

  • How can I use iweb 1.1.2 for more than one user account on my macbook?

    I wonder if someone can guide me or point me to a previous answer on this, since I haven't found one. I'm simply trying to use iweb 1.1.2 on two user accounts (both labled as administrators) on our macbook. The program functions fine on one account, but when I switch over to another user account on the computer iweb will open, but does not let me start a new page, save, etc.
    Thanks much for any response.

    Welcome to the discussions. If iWeb's menus are greyed out, the following trick has worked for some:
    In the user account which does not let you start a new page, save, etc. — Quit iWeb. Start iPhoto. Select a couple of photos, click on the iWeb icon at lower right and choose Photo Page. iWeb will open up and invite you to choose a template for your new Photos page. Choose any template so that the page is created and then delete that newly created page.
    ...Now perhaps things are no longer greyed out in iWeb.

  • How do I use a frameset to another website within my iweb site?

    I am trying to figure out how to use frameset to view my online booking site within my site that I have created on iWeb. right now I just refer to a link but I would like to be abel to use the frameset to do it. I do have this code but not sure what to do with it.
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

    <frame src="mainframe.html" name="mainFrame" frameborder="0">
    <noframes>
    <body>
    I would appreciate any advice

    A Frameset is a separate, non-iWeb, webpage with the code you show.
    The upperframe.html and lowerframe.html are urls to whatever page you want to display.
    What you probably want is an <iframe>. You use it to display an external page within an iWeb page.
    The code is :
    <iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    You paste the code in the HTML Snippet. You have to change the width and height to reflect your situation.
    Note that an <iframe> is static. It does not change when the page it displays changs in width or height. To scroll set scrolling to yes.

  • Duplicate user account OR migrate iPhoto/iWeb between users

    I've seen this question asked several times before, but have not seen an answer!
    So, with as many details as I can muster:
    I have, on my computer, 4 user accounts: my admin account, my user account, my boyfriend's user account, and our business account... All separate, keeps things nice and tidy (sort of!).
    I have a new and separate project that I'm starting to work on which involves lots of images, and new websites, and new and different stuff that's necessary for the project, but just clutter in any of the other accounts.
    Because this project started out as something my man wanted to play around with, all of the beginnings of this are in his iPhoto and his iWeb, and they're well organized.  I've not had luck so far moving the iPhoto and iWeb libraries to a new/blank user and maintaining the organization that I've spent time and attention making right. 
    He's not so great with technology, and gets very frustrated (and unproductive!) when anything on the computer doesn't work exactly like he expects it to. (When Lion came out and the scrolling went "the wrong direction" he was afraid to use the computer at all for a week, because "everything changed, I don't even know how to use it anymore" that's between us though, personal issure ). So I'd like to keep the user experience the same for him.   I'd like to duplicate his settings, preferences, etc. into a new user for him, and take over his current account to isolate this project. 
    So, in summary:
    I want to create a new account with the same user experience  as a current  account without having to find and reset all of his settings.
    OR
    I want an exact copy of the iPhoto and iWeb from this user account to another one, on the same machine. 
    I am currently running OSX 10.7.2, iPhoto '11 9.2.1 and iWeb 3.0.4
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    That's easy, if you have Time Machine or "bootable clone" backups. (If you don't, you should anyway.  Post back if you need info on them.)
    Use Migration Assistant to transfer just that user account from the backups; it will put up a screen saying it can't transfer it under the same name as the existing account, and allowing you to rename it.
    Other than having a different name, the transferred account will be identical to the existing one.  Then you can modifiy them separately as necessary.
    EDIT:  see Using Migration Assistant on Lion for detailed instructions.  Be sure to un-check the boxes for eveything except that one user account.

  • Can multiple computers manage the same iWeb website?

    Everyone in our family has a Mac and their own blog. Is there any way each of us can use iWeb to access the same site from different computers?

    Yes. But they can't be working on the file at the same time. See Old Toad's Tutorial #21 - Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs with Dropbox.. This method makes it simple to do what you want but you have to adhere to the caveat that only once can be working on the file at the same time.
    Otherwise, you wound have to have the domain file for the site make available on a server or external HD that all other Macs and users could access.

  • Multiple websites, multiple woes: Best IWeb 09/MobileMe strategy?

    I'm still a bit confused as to the best strategy for using IWeb 09's much-touted-in-reviews but apparently rather limited ability to publish to two or more separate MobileMe accounts.
    In IWeb 08, I would set up several different user accounts on my Mac, associate each one with a separate MobileMe account from my Family Pack, and maintain separate domain files for each (all stored in the same folder on my hard drive, but given different names like "Domain_personal" or "Domain_business"). This worked fairly well, despite the inconvenience of sometimes not having a photo I wanted to use readily available, as it might be part of an IPhoto library that belonged to another account.
    (I would generally log-in to the user account I wanted to use and work on the MobileMe domain file I had "assigned" to that account. But now and then I might forget, and start working on a domain file for the "wrong" Mac user account. That didn't seem to be a problem -- I could still save my latest changes, log out and then log in to the "right" user account, where I could publish my revised domain file to the intended MobileMe account.)
    But in IWeb 09, my previous strategy is resulting in a slew of problems. Unexpected crashes. Or IWeb refusing to save a file after I've changed it (it just tells me the file cannot be saved, no explanation). Or images and/or video files that will suddenly go missing. Last night I found that one domain file/site I had published over and over with no problems in Iweb 08, now appeared to be a complete mess in IWeb 09 -- numerous missing images, including some png files that are apparently part of the Apple-supplied IWeb design template. Yet the graphics (mine and Apple's) were suddenly back when I opened that same domain file in another user account on my Mac.
    So my IWeb 08 strategy does not seem to be working in IWeb 09. I guess an alternative would be: Do all my IWeb work in the same user account, swap domain files as I'd been doing before, and reset my MobileMe identity for that user account every time I want to publish. Or -- essentially the same thing -- use IWeb's ability to maintain multiple sites in the same domain file. But once again, I'd typically need to manually change my MobileMe identity to a different account at publishing time, to get an individual site going to the right place. And hope like heck that I don't accidentally mess up ICal, etc., by accidentally syncing to "wrong" Mobile Me account, to which I've logged in solely to accommodate IWeb.
    Am I missing something here? Is there some logical reason why Apple would set up IWeb 09 to allow you to publish multiple sites, stored in one domain file, to various multiple external sites via FTP with ease? But make it essentially impractical to publish to several different MobileMe accounts, without the hassles I've mentioned?
    It seems to me that if I want to use IWeb 09 for multiple web sites, the only sane thing is to drop my extra MobileMe accounts as soon as possible, and add some more external sites --- since (if you can do the RSS, etc., yourself) Apple has just made it so much easier to publish to anywhere-else-but-MobileMe.
    Anybody have a different take on this? Or a better solution?

    The following may not be a better solution, but it does provide a different "take". I haven't tried it myself, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a fatal flaw in the idea. Anyway, taking that risk...
    Since we don't know what, in iWeb '09, is causing your "slew of problems", it's not possible to say whether this proposed approach would make any difference. But in theory it would enable you to:
    • maintain your separate Domain files
    • publish to your multiple MobileMe accounts
    • from the same user account on your Mac.
    Take a look at this Apple doc:
    MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
    The idea is to publish your iWeb sites to different MobileMe accounts from a single Mac user account as +"custom websites"+ and, as that doc says:
    "If you only plan to publish custom sites to your MobileMe account, you can make your site's URL shorter by placing your site (and its main index.html file) in the main Web/Sites folder instead."
    ...Presumably iWeb 09's integrated non-MobileMe publishing is FTP only, not WebDAV that iDisk requires. So you would need the free Cyberduck or pay for Transmit to publish your sites via WebDAV protocol to a MobileMe account's iDisk. And for a Domain you are about to publish, you would have to remember to use the appropriate MobileMe "destination" of the several you've set up to use in Cyberduck or Transmit.

  • Can I access my old iWeb account on a new computer?

    My computer crashed and with it went what I had built on iWeb. It is published to a site. My question is - can I somehow get everything back onto my new iWeb app without having to rebuild? And if I do have to rebuild how do I get it to overwrite the site that's currently up?
    Any help is very much appreciated!
    Please e-mail me directly at [email protected] Thanks.

    Yes you can. Go into the System/MobileMe preference pane and log in to your MobileMe account. Once you're logged in you will be able to publish to your MMe account with iWeb.
    If you have the domain.sites2 file from the old computer, put it in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and launch iWeb. If you don't have a copy of the domain file you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch. Paragraph 2.3 of this site, http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html, will have some tips on how to go about it.
    As long as you give the new site the same name as the existing site, it will overwrite the existing site when you published it.
