IWeb Slideshow help/problems/question

Hi everyone. I've been searching through all the posts and keep trying to use various methods to create a pop-up slideshow inside my iweb page. Nothing is working OR maybe it just can't be done?
I need some expert help to check this one out for me. It would be soooooo appreciated at this point. Many of you seem pretty advanced with getting around the limitations of iweb.
Here's my site, created all in iweb. In the "Design & Print" page I'd like to put a hyperlink that opens a new window with a flash viewer like simpleviewer. It seems like a real pain but I have to conquer this problem. Thanks everyone for your help!!!!
Main site:
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/main.html
Problem page:
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/design_print.html

OK, here's what I would do:
1. Get this program:
http://mountainmandan.net/webexport
Adds a tab to iPhoto Export pane to export SimpleViewer or other slideshows.
Upload the resulting folder to your server. So the address would be
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html
2. In iWeb, make a link on the design&print page to
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html
3. Publish to a folder as usual, but don't upload yet
4. Now you will need to make a slight change in the html code in order to make this link open in a new window. You can open the html files generated by iWeb in any text or html editor. In TextEdit, to view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the desig_print.html file and click Open.
Find
href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Replace with
target="_blank" href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Or, if you want to specify the size of the window,
Find
href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Replace with
href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfo lder/index.html','_blank','width=x,height=y,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,loca tion=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,directories=0'); return false;"
x and y are the dimensions you want the window to be.
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes again! Set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt and you can do this very quickly. You can save your queries so you can make all of your changes with one click the next time you save.

  • More iweb slideshow reflection questions...

    Hi,
    I also want to get rid of the reflection in iWeb slideshows. I have searched and found the instructions on how to fix this through "terminal". Only problem is that I don't understand how terminals work. Can someone please explain it to me? I tried and it felt a lot like advanced programming!
    Thanks,
    S

    I'm not sure which instructions you have found, but here is a tutorial written by Will Englefield on the topic of removing reflections from the Apple enhanced slideshows. I've looked through it and it seems that all that is required is a text editor....no terminal work! Have a look....

  • IMOVIE08/IPHOTO08 TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!

    IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
    much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

    I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

  • IWeb slideshows not showing...Safari only?

    During the last few days, when I check out iWeb slideshows I have created for my school using my Safari browser, the photos aren't displayed.
    All I see on my Mac is the "Play Slideshow" graphic and the number of pages are shown but nothing more. The "Play Slideshow" graphic is not active or clickable at all.
    The slideshows work fine in other browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox but not Safari? (see 2 pics below)
    I get the same result whether the site is FTP'd or hosted on MobileMe. 
    Works on everything but my Safari but works with Safari on other computers???
    I have reset Safari but still get same result.
    Not sure what to try next.
    Attached pics show Safari screen and Google screen.....note no pics on Safari screen????
    Thanks for any suggestions!!!!

    Hey! Got it fixed!

    Did a few different things suggested like logging in under different acct....same problem!
    Started up in Safe Mode....same problem!
    Then read in one of these threads about problems being caused by running in 32-bit mode.
    Quit Safari, unchecked 32-bit mode in info window and restarted Safari and what do you know????
    Those slide shows now show up!!!!
    Thanks to all who had suggestions!

  • IWeb Newbie: Blog HTML Question

    Hi, I'm relatively new to IWeb and have a question relating to blogs created in Iweb. When I create a new entry for my blog, and try to add a video for youtube (as a link) in place of the default picture, the video does not appear on my main page. I have used the html snippet and see the video on my blog entry page, however it does not appear on my main page. How do I go about including video's in a new blog entry page so I can view them directly from my main (intro) page? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am using the Modern Frame template for my web site. When I add the blog template, a pre-set template shows up. Is there any way to edit or change it?
    no and yes... no, you can't do much of anything while working inside iweb; yes, you can change it by changing the template xml file. Suzanne Boben at 11Mystics.com have done it for years.
    For example, I would like to change the hyperlink color from red to blue. It won't let me do that. I go to the hyperlink inspector and I can't choose anything.
    outside of changing template xml, this can be done in two ways (beside the above method):
    1) post edit the blog CSS file (search my post for blog CSS), this requires post edit and perhaps after every publishing.
    2) build your own widget to change the blog CSS and you only need to add the widget once. see my example here: http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/CyclosaurusBlog.html
    the example is done with my widget.
    Also, when I view the web site on my computer, it looks fine, however when I view it on my iphone 3GS it shows an old font that I was using, why?

  • Iweb slideshow

    Is there a way to change the background color in iweb slideshow to black without posting it to a .mac account.
    thanks

    Hey there,
    welcome to the Apple iWeb Discussion Forums!
    Select the photopage, open the inspector, go to the Photos tab and then click on Slideshow.
    At the bottom of the slideshow tab there's "Page Background" there you can select Black as the color for slideshows.
    Regards,
    Cédric
    Sorry just noticed you posted the question in the iWeb '06 Forum... I don't know if it's the same for iWeb '06 I never used it sorry...

  • IWeb slideshow: thumbnails intrude on photo

    HI all.
    I created an iWeb slideshow, but the band of thumbnails at the top runs on top of the large image. Looks awful, and I can't show this to colleagues. Any idea on how to format the photo files so that they appear full frame? Thanks for your help, Mac folks.
    Loren

    are you talking about the .Mac iweb slideshow? the lines of photos only appears when you have your mouse over it!
    or in the photo page the collection of photos is running over another photo? then just move the box around!

  • IWeb Slideshows

    1 year ago I bought a new imac and iWeb. I've made about 10 sites.
    The slideshows look great on my iMac. They are anout 630px wide with a nice reflection.
    BUT!! on my PC, they suck. I tried to show someone my art work on the their PC, I was shocked. The images appear no bigger than matchboxes surrounded by a huge amount of black. I have a newish PC and it's just the same.
    Does anyone else out there have the same problem?
    I uploaded my pics to Flickr, dropped the code... success ... until I discovered
    you can only have three set without going pro .... so no good for me.
    Slide.com .... no end out unrelated advertising ... useless for my website
    Myspace, well, their slideshows now autostart, not way of stopping them, no controls .... and they have annoying rounded corners which are getting very fashionable which I don't like ...
    Anyone any advice?

    Dear kim plygeaw,
    Alancito posted "Re: iWeb Slideshows" in "iWeb Slideshows" on Nov 28, 2008 1:39:02 AM.
    Kim ~ The slideshows on your Flickr account are so much bigger and better than the slideshows on your iWeb site. So why not either hyperlink to your Flickr slideshows or embed your Flickr slideshows in your iWeb site? You are already familiar with Flickr slideshows, but for other forum readers who perhaps are not, here are some details...
    Before clicking on the hyperlinked thumbnail below, note that mouse-over of the slideshow page will display many options — including a full-screen button at lower right. The viewer can pause the slideshow (button at lower left) and then click on the thumbnails in any order...
    Click to open slideshow in new window
    It's also possible to embed the slideshow into your web page via iWeb's HTML Snippet window — see this article: Flickr's slideshows get cinematic, viral. Notice that the sample embedded slideshow there, once playing, also shows the full-screen button at lower right. And clicking it doesn't take you out from the current window/tab — it simply goes into full-screen mode (and hitting the Escape key exits that mode).
    By the way, Flickr's maximum pixel size is 1024. You can submit larger, but they'll be compressed and resized by Flickr. See this FAQ.
    I have just spent a good while getting nowhere logging in here, finally got into my account, phew!:
    Tks for the message and have posted Alancito's message above that didn't show up.
    I started out with high hopes at Flickr, I could post their fabulous networking slideshows onto my iWeb page, add related videos too from YouTube which play many times faster than my better quality but internet sticky Quicktime vids, and so on, music from playlist.com sound effects and so on making the slideshows have a contextual setting on each webpage.
    BUT, the crunch came at Flickr when I discovered you can only make 3 album sets on the free account, therefore only 3 separate slideshows, DAM! The only way round it is to go Pro for unlimited. As I have currently 2 iWeb hostings, I'm not in the mood to keep adding more expense.
    Sooooo, the solution for me: I went over to Gmail 'Pica. Their slideshows are good, I customize the code so say at 800px wide I go down 800px instead of 566px for the vertical pics get as much TLC as the horizontal . You can change the code to make them any size like YouTube videos and with an autostart option which myspace doesn't have. There's no advertising at the end like Photobucket and Slide.com and a nice piece of software that's for mac so you can drag and drop pics to upload update the shows.
    They also behave well on old PC's!
    http://picasa.google.com/
    I started out making my sites with iWeb to add a professional edge to my free networking sites, I didn't even link to them. I feel a little foolish now as that's were the people are, and so now I'm mixing them all together. There needs for people to leave a networking site to go to a private website, and vise versa, and I'm still working on that. I've very surprisingly had 45,000 hits on a rather modest YouTube this past 6 months, a small account with 90 short videos, how to get that traffic over to my website is my next project! So the slideshows and websites better mean something more than they get on free networking sites and not be an anti-climax

  • 5610 problems/questions

    Okay, i have a 5610, firmware v9.4, and i have the foll problems/questions...
    1) The calender and alarm systems sometimes refuse to work. In the calender, i put reminders, but often it never gives any alarm, even though i have set it to alert me at such-and-such time. The alarm too, simply doesn't work at times. any solutions?
    2) On starting the phone, while updating the library, the phone temporarily gets hanged. After about 5 minutes, its back to normal, and the library is updated, but in those 5 mins i can't do anythinh. any solutions?
    3)On connecting my cell to the comp, i usually use memory storage mode, to access the memory card in windows explorer, cuz its faster than pc suite. afer disconnecting, my phone often says "not enough memory on phone. update cancelled", referring to the music player library update. any solutions?
    4)In menu>steeings>security>security level, what do the options do, i've not noticed any difference...

    security level is to either set passwords for start up of phone ,keypad locks,lock code for phone this enable you to put a pin on the phone where if it was to get stolen the person would need a pin the activate the phone with another sim in it

  • MSI 925XE BIOS 1.3 to 1.4 Upgrade problem/question

    Hi,
    Today I upgraded my board from BIOS 1.3 to 1.4 (successfully, *phew*). The BIOS page on the MSI site states that it fixes some problems, but nothing related to temperature sensors is mentioned:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=635&kind=1
    Now the actual problem/question is that with BIOS v1.3 my full load temp was roughly 65 degrees celcius (3.4GHz LGA775 CPU). Now with v1.4 my full load temperature shows up as 47-48 degrees celcius.
    This of course doesnt seem like a bad thing at first, lower temp = good, but I cant help but wonder whether the temperature was being inaccurately shown in 1.3, or whether it is being shown wrongly now with 1.4. A drop in full load temp of about 18 degrees celcius sure raises some questions.
    If anyone knows anything about this, Id appreciate any feedback. Also if there is some kind of tech support email address that MSI has (I couldnt find one on the site), could you please pass it to me, thanks.
    I didnt post my entire system specs because really all the other components are irrelevant, I didnt change the setup in any way other than the BIOS. If I needed to post some addition info, tell me what it is, and I will.
    Thank you.

    Sorry that I didnt reply for a while. Busy weekend. Anyways...
    What kind of chassis cooling? When as I said the case is open right now cause Im still experimenting with everything, so really its like no chassis at all for now. What kind of fan do I use with the XP-120? Its a quiet fan, I cant seem to find the box. If Im not mistaken, its the green version of this:
    http://www.thermaltake.com/dcfans/led/thunderblade120.htm
    And finally... Yes of course I was able to fit the XP120 on the motherboard, how else would I be running the comp hehe? BTW, I wouldnt necessarily recommend it to others though, the installation was very problematic. But still, its possible.

  • Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

    Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
    Well I am having a few problems/questions:
    ---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
    ---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
    1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
    2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
    ---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
    ---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
    ---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

    Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around
