IWeb, QTL's and Autoplay
Hi
This may be a question for the iWeb board (so I have also posted it there). I am using iWeb to create a site using the Blog template. If I put a Quicktime Movie on an 'entry' page, with Autoplay enabled, then clicking the link to that entry on the Blog's frontpage causes the site to go to the entry page and the movie loads and plays without further clicking.
If I put a QTL file on an entry page (also with Autoplay enabled in the syntax) it goes to the entry page OK, when you click the link that is created on the frontpage, but you then need to click the QTL link on the entry page in order to play the associated movie.
Can I get the associated movie to auotplay without having to click the link?
No.
The .qtl file must first download the viewing computer. That requires a "click".

I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?
iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
Here's a publishing workflow checklist...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html
The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
...and change the relevant URLs to...
http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/SEO.html
If you have inbound links on other sites...

... remember to inform the webmasters of you new URL.

IWeb file structure and naming system
I am trying to publish my iWeb directly to my domain (www.jessewarren.net) using the FTP direct publish function. However, iWeb is applying an overly complex naming system.
For example, its publishing not only the page names, but also the name of the Site in iWeb, after the original URL. Here's an example: http://jessewarren.net/testing/Site/Blank.html
First, I need everything to be on the domain. Then, I only need the name of the individual pages to be published, not the Site Name itself. I already have a site name, and that's my domain.
Any other advice on how to control file structure and naming in iWeb?This is not incorrect and it is the way iWeb publishes and has done ever since iWeb 06. When you publish from iWeb to a local folder, what you get is your Site folder with your site name and a separate index file.
If you don't want your site name included, then what you need to do is rather than using the direct ftp from iWeb, select ftp to a local folder instead. Your site will then be published to your desktop. Then download either Cyberduck or Transmit for free - these are dedicated ftp programs. Then all you do is load just the contents of your site folder to your public_html folder on your server and your url will then be http://www.domain.com/pagename.html.
Be aware though, that if you are loading like this, you are breaking iWeb site structure and RSS feed will not be available to you if you need to use it.
If you want to continue to use the built in iWeb ftp, then you could try naming your site public_html and then leaving the directory blank and then uploading like this and because you have named your site public_html and are uploading to the same place, your public_html folder on your server will be replaced with your website, thus eliminating the site name.
I have tried this method once myself with my own site and it does work, however, I still prefer to publish to a folder and then upload to my sever using Cyberduck. -
Iweb site feedback and friends?
hi all,
i used to use these forums a lot; however, i stopped that a while ago. I currently have started using iWeb a lot and am looking for feedback on my site and any one that wants to add me as an ichat buddy to bounce ideas and stuff off of. If you are willing to at least give some feedback check out my site at :
http://www.andrewfosterphotography.net
thanks a lot ahead of time, and feel free to add me to ichat if u want!I don't know why your first page takes so long to load. There's only 10 files that have to load and the largest is only 79 KB. It does take a ridiculously long time to load. You can see what files are loading by going to the Window->Activity menu option while in the page. That will tell you what files are part of the page and their size. Some background images are taking forever to load.
What theme are you using? The loading time is way beyond normal. I checked some of my sites today and they loaded very quickly. All I can think of, and it's a shotgun approach, is to do a Publish All to MobileMe and see if that won't refresh and speed up the load time. I'm not sure WebMaestro will help all that much as most all of the files are very small to start with. But I've not used it so can't be sure.
2 - no, not with iWeb. With other web deveopement apps you could load a file to a folder and then link to that from all pages it's to be on.
3 - again, not easily with iWeb. You can embed a page within another page but to click on a link and have that page pop up in a section of the page would require a good knowledge of javascript. Maybe Cyclosaurus or Wyodor could give you an idea of how to implement that. -
I have the lengthy code for a PayPal button. I tried to past it in an iWeb welcome page and all I get is the code. No button. Can you help me?

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?
Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

Would like to re-create the webpages created with iWeb to iCloud and post
Would like to re-create the webpages created with iWeb to iCloud and post to the internet
Unfortunately, iCloud does not support the hosting of webpages. You will need to find a 3rd party web host in order to publish your web sites.
Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder. Then upload to your host with an FTP application like CyberDuck
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

Does iWeb still exist and what does it run through?
Does iWeb still exist and what does it run through? Is it still part of iLife?
Apple has discontinued iWeb and iDVD and no longer sells the last version of iLife ('11).
You may still be able to find a copy of iLife '11 at other resellers. It, and iLife '09, still have iWeb and iDVD. -
Windows Vista and Autoplay with an iPod
When I plug my iPod into my doc I have it set up to automatically open iTunes. When I do this I'm presented with an autoplay dialog box in Vista. There isn't an option to do nothing and when you go into the autoplay settings I can't change anything so I don't get the autoplay dialog box when I plug in my iPod.
Does anyone have a magic answer to how not to have autoplay run every time I plug in iPod? I got it to work on my laptop but I don't know what I did different. I can turn off autoplay for all devices but I don't want this. This is frustrating and annoying
Thanks.I unchecked "Use AutoPlay for all media devices" and it fixes the what do you want to do dialog boxes that pop up when I put my ipod in my dock. It not an ideal solution becuase it disables pop up dialog boxes for everything that I plug in. I'm hoping this is an issue not a feature and it gets addressed in Windows.

Having spent a little time searching for a replacement download for iWeb (details of why below) it seems that I cannot find it anywhere in Apple Land. From my limited experience here (iphone, macbook pro, airport extreme and airport express) it looks like Apple gradually withdraws stuff prior to introducing something really exciting to replace it.
So
Question: Is there a new super replacement for iWeb about to be introduced?
I cannot believe that Apple would take away something as great as iWeb (having read reviews and used it myself as a complete web novice) without giving us something better.
I foolishly followed some genius advice and did a wipe/reload of Lion, prior to updating to Mountain Lion (my fault, I thought my lovely Macbook Pro was running a little slow - probably wasnt - just me being impatient.) Anyway, long story short, I lost iphoto (got it back by re-purchasing but would like a refund - another string running with this), iWeb - can't find it anywhere - asked questions here in Apple Land and am getting some conflicting answers.
I am sat in London without my iweb for a some days and would really like to get on with a bit of web stuff.
Question: is there anywhere in Apple Land where I can download iWeb
Question: can you confirm that the iweb programme will be on one of the disks that came with the machine? (they are 100 miles away so I will have to wait, unless there is an easier way)
Sorry, rambling a bit.
Hope you can help out there
Thanks
SteveThe iWeb application was specifically created to be used with .Mac and then MobileMe and Apple withdrew support for iWeb several months ago, when it was announced that MobileMe would be no longer and would be replaced by iCloud. MobileMe ceased at the end of June this year and has been replaced by iCloud, that does not offer web hosting, so no need for iWeb.
Apple stopped selling iWeb in its stores several months ago and has withdrawn support for iWeb, so no, you won't find either iWeb or iDVD for sale in the Mac App Store because Apple no longer sells it.
You cannot download iWeb, so if you want iWeb, you will have to purchase the iLife 11 boxed set from Amazon and this contains iWeb 09 which is the latest version of iWeb. Apple does not sell this either.
If your Mac was running Snow Leopard, then it would have come with installation CD's, so yes, you should be able to re-load the whole of the iLife series, which includes iWeb, iDVD and iPhoto back onto your Mac running Mountain Lion. You did not need to make an additional purcahse of iPhoto from the Mac App Store - you could have re-loaded from these CD's. The only place you will get a refund is by contacting the Mac App Store. Nobody here can help you with that.
So if you want iWeb back, check to see if it is on you installation CD's - it should be if you have a Mac running Snow Leopard and put it back on your Mac from there. If not, then your only option is to purchase the iLife 11 boxed set from Amazon and you can load iWeb from there.
As Apple no longer supports iWeb and there is no MobileMe any longer, then there are unikely to be any further updates to the programme and nothing else will come along. You can still use the app though if you have it and it works with Mountain Lion, however, there may come a time when it won't work with future iOS updates, so it would pay you to look at the alternatives out there which are many and varied. Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4 etc. You can download free trials of most and some are for sale in the Mac App Store.
Also, please be advised that this is a user to user forum and everyone here who replies to you is a user, so you are not talking directly to Apple here.

IWeb, HTML Snippet, and MySQL via GoDaddy (db already built)
I have a site (zigcodes.info) that is hosted by GoDaddy. I built the site using iWeb. No complaints there. I have a MySQL database and table built to store codes added by users. There is also one called "hit list" on another page, but I haven't finished coding it. I need to solve this problem before I can finish that page. So far, I've successfully linked my submit forms to the database. When a user adds a code, it does indeed populate into the database (hooray for small miracles).
Of course, doing this dumps the user onto a blank white page, but I think I can fix that with a redirect at the end of the php file used by the form. My problem comes in when I try to display the codes in the database on my page. I know how to query the db using SELECT * FROM, but I can't figure out what to do with the data after that.
I'm having a heck of a time getting the HTML Snippet widget correct in iWeb. I've seen suggestions that are all over the place, but can't seem to get any to work. I'm told that <iframe> may be a viable solution, but I am at a loss as to how. Honestly, my site is very simple and I don't need fancy functionality. All I need is a list, in table form would be nice but really not necessary, of the 30 names/codes most recently added to the db by users of my site. I can get the echo command to print headers for my data, but not the data itself.
Will <iframe> work, and if so, how? If not, what's my best bet? Should I go with a table in the HTML Snippet widget, with tags like <? echo "$code"; ?> inserted into my<td></td> content? Or, would it be best to use the <script src="activecodes.php"></script> solution with an external php file? Or am I way off on all of these? I do know that iWeb won't do it for me with it's own magic, but it seems like there should still be a way to add code into the HTML Snippet widget and display the db data on the iWeb designed page. Help?Yeah, the code you suggested isn't live now because I always remove changes to my code that affect no change. It makes for a cleaner build later. Here are some variations of your sugestion that I tried:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
I even tried this because I saw other people suggesting it in similar forums:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
All of the above produce the exact same, unwanted result: a blank white screen with the URL of my .php file (the one that handles the form post). -
IWeb, blogging, Facebook and Twitter
Over the past few months, I have been getting my feet wet with iWeb 2009. To date, I have never used iWeb's blogging feature. (I post all my web pages to a GoDaddy account.)
This raises some questions:
1: Do iWeb's own blogging features work with non-MobileMe web-server services such as GoDaddy?
2: Does iWeb offer any icons or other linking techniques so that I could connect a FaceBook or Twitter account to my iWeb-created web-site if I wanted to?
3: Are there any tutorials anywhere on the web that can help iWeb users understand how to link/blend their iWeb-created web pages with social media accounts such as Twitter, FaceBook, Picasa and Flickr?
Thanks in advance.No. If you post an iWeb created site with a blog to GoDaddy, then the blog comments will not work. This is a MobileMe only feature.
There is a workaround however, in that you can use http://www.intensedebate.com - set up an account for free and place the code in an html snippet on the page that you want the comments on. -
Firefox / Safari / IE - with iWeb productions: pros and cons
Greetings!
I have started using iWeb (coming from FrontPage and a dab of Dreamweaver). Great, and, most importantly, very well integrated with the rest of Apple's programs and services and devices.
I have noticed that IE of course has trouble bringing up iWeb sites/pages: much of the time, IE just hangs, seemingly freezing the whole system (while posting "Done" on its bottom bar), and eventually breaks through and put up iWeb pages and sites quite truthfully. Firefox of course, which I have just installed in the Windows "side" of my MBPro/BootCamp system, blazes through iWed creations, just like Safari does. And, Firefox does not freeze. So, as I post my iWeb sites, I will include mention to install Firefox on Windows machines and just have it handy. Granted, most Win users WILL continue to use IE: so I must find ways to have my sites play in I decently.
RE: Firefox, I did notice that its screen fonts are NOT as sharp as IE's or Safari's same with Firefox screens in general: graphics OK, rest somewhat jagged/blurry) . Perhaps this does account for some of its speed. And even though I choose the option of letting sites exhibit their own fonts (rather a pre-selected one by Firefox - Time Roman usually), often Firefox picks its own font(s) to display text from sites. IE has better controls as to WHAT fonts will be displayed for a given site (i.e. the site's fonts, or IE's choice of fonts). So, Firefox's speed does NOT seem to come at no cost (I do like the sharpness of text in IE and Safari: anything blurry or stair-steppy makes my eyes very uncomfortable!)!
Another observation/question: as I finetune/experiment with a iWeb built site, I notice that text boxes that have been "imaged" by iWeb for one reason on another (example: text outlined, or underlined or made into hyperlinks) reproduces very faithfully what was in iWeb in the first place. Would that be then a good way to make sure that text looks exactly like it was intended and fits exactly right on the page? Or does "imaged" text produce larger (graphic) files than plain text (I suspect so).
This is an extraordinary forum indeed... With tools like iWeb and talented folks such as those sharing their amazing websites here, anything is possible!

Can't control the icon iweb generates on iweb gallery album and movie page
Okay - here's the problem. I make a great imovie - share it to the .mac web gallery and imovie sets the icon and I don't seem to have any control over the image it displays. It seems to take part of a screen shot of the first few seconds of the movie but I want to change what is displayed and can't figure out how to determine what image is used for the icon of the movie on the iweb gallery page. I have several movies on the page and want to have a logo displayed - not part of the logo. You can see my frustration at calldrew.com and click on the link for iweb pictures and movies.
