IWeb site for selling my books

I'm an author who is selling my books on an old web site where my Merchant account provided HTML snippits to create a shopping basket where customers can buy my books. When they put in their credit card data it transfers the $ to my bank account, and I get an email and ship my books to them.
I have created a new iWeb site to replace the old one on NetWork solutions at my domaine www.deepwaterspress.com and do not know how to put my merchant account HTML snippits into my iWeb site on Mobile me. Please advise. Thanks,
Harold Lyon

Harold ~ Welcome to the discussions. The MobileMe Terms of Service states:
"The Service is designed for personal individual use and is not intended to be used for commercial business purposes, including, but not limited to, transacting online sales or software distribution via an e-commerce site."
The addition of an HTML Snippet is briefly shown in this video tutorial:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/iweb08.html#livecontent
An alternative to HTML Snippets is to hyperlink from your iWeb site to a free e-commerce page at Weebly — see the video here:
http://blog.weebly.com/2/post/2009/05/announcing-weebly-e-commerce-features.html
If that's suitable, you may even want to consider building your entire site in Weebly.
By the way, a tip... Instead of posting your site's URL like this:
www.deepwaterspress.com
...include the prefix like this:
http://www.deepwaterspress.com
...then it will be easily clickable in your post. And before posting, you can switch from Compose mode to Preview mode to verify that the hyperlink actually goes to your site when clicked.

Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

Making an iweb site for .mac on a computer with no internet connection

Hi.
I am making an iweb site for publishing to a .mac account on a computer that is supposed to have internet access via airport, but it's not working properly at the moment.
I would really like to transfer the site onto my other machine in my office which has a decent broadband connection (I have iweb installed on there too). Is it possible to transfer a site that is yet to be published from one computer to another?
regards
David T

David,
You might want to try burning your Domain file to a CD or DVD by using http://iWebFAQ.com/iWebBackup.zip and opening the file & Publish from the other computer while effectively backing up your Domain file in the process.

Built iWeb site for friend with my account. How can I transfer site to his?

Hi everybody. I recently finished creating an iWeb site for a friend while using my MobileMe account. What's the best way to transfer this site to his MobileMe account (so his username, etc. shows up in the url; not mine). I'd like to avoid having to rebuild the entire site while using his version of iWeb/MobileMe.
Am I in trouble or is there a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Will your friend be maintaining the site once it's published to his MobileMe account? If so just copy the domain.sites2 file containing his site to his computer and put it in his User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Once he logs into his MobileMe account via the System/MobileMe preference pane he can make changes and published them to his account.
If you also have a site in that same domain file, duplicate that file, open it with iWeb and delete your site before transferring it to your friend's Mac. Then delete his site from your domain file leaving just your own site. You can delete his site from your MMe account by mounting your iDisk, going to the iDisk/Web/Site folder and deleting the folder that has his site's name.

Making an iWeb site for dialup users

I'd like tips on using iWeb 08 to make a site (to be part of my mac.com space) that will be suitable for people with dialup connexions to use. This is for a Friends of the Library organization for a rural branch library, and most of our area has no access to broadband internet connexions, or if they do, cannot afford them. I understand keeping the graphics small in download size, and have used the application Imagewell to prepare the photos prior to placing them in iWeb or my Wordpress blog.
But, for example, is there one template that is significantly less complicated/faster to download? I can use "view source" to look at them, and know a little about html, but would appreciate any suggestions on this.
Can "site optimizers" such as Site Soap 1.3.1 or Web Site Maestro 6.5.1 be used with iWeb? Would there be any significant gain, given that I will already be making the images small & fast to download?
Is iWeb contra-indicated for this situation? Should I use some other very simple html editor instead of iWeb?

Website Maestro will significantly reduce you file sizes for faster download.
For a photo example see....

I tried Site Soap way back before I discovered WSM - no comment!

Iweb site for use with my own hosting company, not .mac

Hello,
What I would like to do is setup a photo album site in iweb but export it to ftp to my own hosting company.
I noticed on a link found here that if you do so you lose the ability to have a slideshow......will this effect the ability for a person to click on a picture to advance to the next picture?
I have tried phpalbum and looked at gallery program but I dont know scripting or programming so I am lost there.....iweb photo album page seems the best way to go.
Any advice would be helpful!!!
Thanks

Hi PB,
That's not true. It maybe was using iWeb '06 but not iWeb '08. Just create your photopage, go to file=>publish to a folder, upload the resulting files to your server using your FTP application and you're done.
Everything works: slideshow, pictures overview, single picture.
I'm uploading my site to non .mac, have a look at this photo page:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/photos/Ontheroad/Pages/Iceland.html
An alternative would be using SimpleViewer which is really easy to use too, have a look at point 3 for examples

Get a license connectivity E_stream_error when trying to connect to a vendor site for a purchased book

I can download and open an .epub from Adobe into my ADE v. 3 with no problems. But when I try to link to a vendor site where I bought a book I get the downloaded .acsm file but that can't then be used to connect to the vendor to obtain the book. It gives me the above error message.....I have no problem with this at home; only at work.
I'm convinced there is some type of connectivity issue but according to my IT folks it should work.........but it doesn't.

Hello,
Did you created the SQL login the ASP is using for the connection on the new SQL Server instance? Does the new SQL Server instance is configure to allow Mixed Authentication
or just configure to allow Windows Authentication? Change it to Mixed Mode.
Please configure Windows Firewall on computers to allow SQL Server access or disable it.

Turn off "Caps Lock" for your page title.
Find another method of displaying your images as it is too "How small is small?"
Use iPhoto to make your slide show (not iWeb) and export as a QuickTime movie at larger dimensions so your text can be read. Or use QuickTime Pro to make your slide show and add a simple audio track (maybe the actual narration by the author).
Easy in QuickTime to "time" your slides to a narration track and the Pro upgrade (and a connected or built in microphone) could output a nice 800X600 display for Web use.
You can do a lot with QuickTime Pro to tell a story using still images:

You may try to re-copy the code from wufoio and re-paste it into iWeb making a new html snippet.
Actually as it works from wufoo.com website it should also work from your website as it should be exactly the same...
There may be some delay between the entry being sent to wufoo and getting e-mail notification but shouldn't take hours anyway...

How do I link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store?

Hi all,
I designed an iWeb site for a friend, she is hosted at Yahoo Small Business. She also wanted to use Yahoo ecommerce does anyone know how to link an iWeb site to a Yahoo store? Yahoo uses store tags which they tell me can't be used in iWeb I was hoping to just link the ecommerce store I created in Yahoo to a store link in iWeb like a separate page. But I don't know how or if that will work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Marilyn

Hi,
LOL, you are absolutely correct I am moaning and groaning and you are correct about the tech suport the reason I am so frustrated.
The website is www.papeteriecollections.com (iWeb)
The Yahoo store is store.papeteriecollections.com
The yahoo store is set up to the point of store tags. I was able to link the store to the site itself but not the items in the store to the items in the website. That's where the tags come in. From yahoo I copied their code from the item and then pasted it into iWeb. The link worked from iWeb back to the yahoo store, but not after publishing it. So then I tried the (html snippet) in iWeb and pasted the store tag code in there at the bottom of one of the items in my site, and order button appeared. (good thing) but it didn't work either. please see below:
I hope this makes better sense and I apologize for being a baby!
Thanks

IWeb sites are slow to upload. text columns turn to heavy png files

Hi!
Yes I've noticed that iweb sites for some odd reason are slower to load on any browser. No matter what the hosting is. I use Me.com for a few years and iWeb as I don't have the time or patience to bother with Dreamweaver. I use Me.com for hosting as well as another web hosting server. If there is graphic material on the page, it takes so long to open. Apple must do something about it for sure.
The program iWeb itself doesn't open up fast enough if you have more than 3 pages on it (which any normal site would have). I'm glad Apple made good changes in iWeb09, but it needs to do something about the speed of the program, the sites it makes and how it processes simple matter on it.
Even though, I have come across some good examples of iWeb made sites that are easy and relatively faster to open or they open at a normal speed. The authors also have used flash material on their iWeb sites. I have a non-registered program (web site Maestro) that claims to ease up and streamline the graphic and other heavy content on a iWeb site to make it lighter with loading.
But the unregistered version works on 70 percent files only. And I don't really notice any difference with it either. So I'm doubtful of buying the full version.
Any thoughts? Solutions? Would really appreciate.
ANOTHER ISSUE that I have discovered while making iWeb site is that a text column put on a shape after publishing turns into a heavy PNG picture file that can weight almost upto 1 whole megabyte!!!
And you keep wondering why the darn page is so slow to open!!! Cuz a simple text could've been just about 50kb. But it turns into a 900kb picture in png!!! Is there a way to change this?? I guess, taking out the picture from the published site folder and reediting it in - say - Photoshop reducing its size may help. But its so cumbersome and arduous to go into every darn folder and open all the text now converted into pics and re-edit them!! And then their reduced quality will make the text look feeble and bad quality too.
This is a problem that APPLE iWEB experts Must work on. iWeb gives a certain flexibility as its like a free flowing canvas. But then its also a known fact that iWeb sites are exceptionally heavier to open, unless you know many other tweaks here and there to make it work right. But again, this is contrary to the purpose of iWeb, cuz its made for amateur site makers.
I wish there is a work around this thing really.
ANY SUGGESTIONS FRIENDS?? WOULD LOVE TO HEAR. PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND SOLUTIONS.
Thanks.
Regards,
Nitesh

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Shapes by their very nature are graphic elements that end up a png file whether there's text in them or not. You should try adding the text in a text box above the shape and see if there's any difference. Just be sure to use a Web Safe Font and not add any enhancements that will turn it into a image file:
Click to view full size
You may not notice a difference with loading with WSM but those with Internet Explorer should. Have you tested your site with and without WSM on a PC?
In WSM you can set the amount of optimizing for graphics. I've set it at about 60% (moderate) and haven't tested other settings for image quality. I'm sure a lower quality level, i.e. more compression, will have a impact on file loading. I just don't have a feel for the greatest amount of compression that will still have acceptable image quality. You'll just have to experiment.
If your site is a commercial site then using a commercial hosting server is the best option. Also, it's reported that using a Text Based Navbar instead of iWeb's java based one will help dark side compatibility.
Be sure to put in feature requests for the improvements that you see necessary to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.
