IWeb Templates - Changing Photos

I am new to iweb, so when I was trying to create a blog tonight I was a little confused on how to change the stock photos that come with the templates... is there a way to do that?
Thanks!

Just drag the photo you want to use on top of it. It's just a place card like these are for a photo page.

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

It depends on which template you use.
You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...

Make sure you use web-safe fonts in your navigation...

No-go on photo-editing and positioning of a hyperlink in IWeb template -

Dear forum. I am currently building a little site on I Web - but have had some difficulties regarding - editing of pictures and the use of Hyperlinks in text.
1) I have made the specific page on a template called :My photos. When I have pulled pictures from I Photo to the page I cant edit them by using the ADJUST button - it is like the picture editing is locked?
2) Using the same template (My Photos) I can not make - words or text to a Hyper link ?
The very top-part of this page-template does allow me to edit a picture and or make a Hyperlink - it is when I get beyond the headlines and main picture.
How can I get by these no-go things ?
Best regards J. Fohrmann
To see specific template used on my site go to www.fishmadman.com

iWeb has no HTML you can edit.
All code is in xml format and stored in theme resources in the iWeb application.
You can open these resouces and edit the xml code in any Plaintext/HTML editor.

Does iWeb automatically compress photos for faster loading? Or should I do it first? Thx

Hi everyone, when I look at the large photo in the "white" theme's Welcome template, I wonder when I drag and drop one of my photos in, does iWeb compress the photo for faster loading? Or should I compress them before adding to site?
By "compress" I mean, make photo file size smaller! :)
Thx! :)

In iWeb Preferences you can optimze images on import. But I always scale most of my images to 800 x 600 pixels prior to importing. I do this in Graphic Coverter which also makes the image files smaller by taking unneeded information out of the file, which also reduces the file size.
In Graphic Converter

IWeb published old photo names... will not update

I am having a problem with the photo pages. When I first built a photo page I used images whose file names were too long. When iWeb published the files the names became corrupted and would not display.
I can't get iWeb to forget the original file names...
I have re-named, deleted, re-imported, changes the file size, and made all the changes I can think of to get the photos to be seen as new images. No luck.
Every time iWeb publishes the site it uses the "historic" names for the files.
Any ideas? I'm about to delete the entire site and start over... but I would rather not do it that way. Who knows, that might not even work!
Thanks!

I've also had that problem - real headache
Here's a fix (in princple) :
Within iWeb delete the photos you don't want from the page.
Save "command-s"
Quit iWeb
Before re-opening iWeb go and check the 'Domain' 'package' - this is where iWeb stocks the ressources and assets for you as 'user' :
user/library/application support/iWeb/Domain
Click right to show hidden package contents (I use French Tiger so don't know if that's the right command name but you get what I mean).
Here you'll see all the files/images etc you have used in any of your sites/pages.
In principal when you save in iWeb the Domain gets updated and should throw out any images you deleted from your iWeb page - so those 'old' files should no longer exist.
I think what you may have been doing is deleting images from the page and NOT SAVING that change. In principal Publishing to a folder or .Mac constitues a 'save' but I'm not convinced that the two have the same effect on the Domain.
I actually binned directly from the Domain once but I've read elsewhere that tampering there might cause probs.
Hope that gives you some insight.

Can iWeb templates be modified?

I last used iWeb to set up a travelogue in 2006. I have 3.0.4 ('09, I think).
I may be remembering why I didn't use a template before--because I wanted something I couldn't get with the templates.
Am I correct that I can't change a background or text color, or choose to center text which is flush left on an iWeb template?

Jeff, you're a prince. I've printed out your last posts & dragged & dropped the 2 samples to my desktop, from which I can then use them I was able to do the web browser background instructions. It worked! Cool.
I'm sure this will turn out to be embarrassingly self-evident, but how did you 'copy the page background image and paste it into preview'? It has no 'handles' allowing it to be selected. Nor could I locate 'Preview'.
Now trying the paper maneuver you explained, I'm a bit stuck. What do I select for 'Page Background? I now have removed the Formal Theme text boxes, have changed footer pixels to '0', and have a horizontal rectangle of the ivory paper there. How do I make it disappear so I can then replace it with the size-able box as you describe?
By the way, I noticed right off in your video was how you changed the width of the page immediately. How did you choose 900--and I forget the vertical pixels you chose but will check again. I hate how small the page content size is. Is there a 'standard' size these days for website width & height?
Again, thanks.

How can I stop iWeb from changing the name of my home page?

I don't know if my title really makes sense, but I want to use Google Analytics to measure the traffic on my website. I know that 99% of my visitors enter through the main address (www.ozarkmtnescape.com), but are then immediately re-directed to the home page. iWeb changes the name of the main page from the above address to http://ozarkmtnescape.com/Site%203/Ozark%20Mountain%20Escape.html
The people at Google tell me that if I want to start tracking the traffic on the main page, then I have to figure out how to make iWeb stop changing the address of the main site.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Right click on the date to change its behavior and once you have fixed it resave your template.

Where are email templates in Photo that allow varying # of photos from one to ten previously in iPhoto?

iPhoto had a preference to use iPhoto to send photos or regular email. In iPhoto preference, I used to summarize photos into an email template that allowed for a varying number of photos from one to ten to send off to participants as a remembrance. The number of photos in each template was not set with fixed placeholders but would adjust and size to the number of photos selected for the email card. Most "cards" were plain to meet a variety of needs and had place and style for headline, a sub-head, and either photo captions or a short text box to summarize the remembrance to be shared. It was a quick way to summarize and share a set of photos in a multi-photo page via email. No printing required. Many friends were glad to receive these "cards" and even forwarded them to relatives overseas to share. Unfortunately, when Apple quit supporting iPhoto, the photos were blurry no matter what photo size was selected.
The selections in Photo appear to be text centric with # photos fixed at one, three or eight. If there are more that the fixed number, on the template, the photos are dropped (not shown). If there are fewer photos than template, the placeholders cannot be eliminated. Then tons of space for text. What are my options now?

Each time you use iTunes to sync photos from a computer, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selections on the Photos page of iTunes. For example, if you have previously selected 2 folders or albums to sync from the computer and want to add a 3rd, you need to select all 3 before you sync. That will add the 3rd folder/album and will also add any new photos that are on the computer in the original 2 albums. It really isn't what I would think of as a sync since it is one-way -- it will move photos from the computer to the phone but will not move in the other direction or have any other affect on the photos on the computer. It is a sync in the sense that it will keep the selected folders on the phone in sync with those folders/albums on the computer (i.e., if you add to or delete from the selected folders/albums on the computer then the same changes will be made to the phone).

Using iWeb Templates

I have found not only iWeb templates difficult to deal with, but also iPhotos.
Whenever I try to delete a certain saved area - a most important one - I cannot. If I select to utilize a photo template I cannot delete the photo area and when
I login to the website the slideshow puts up the template photos. This is very disturbing.
Also in iPhoto I cannot create a new folder or copy to an existing folder except the Library. If this is the case then why cannot I move photos to a newly created directory or folder after copying them to the library,
I am extremely new to MAC but totally competent with UNIX, LINUX, DOS, and all versions of WINDOWS, ( SADLY )!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Ron:
Can you give us some information about what you're using: iPhoto an iWeb version, Quicktime version, the theme and page layout in iWeb, etc.
As far as dragging a photo into an album, where are you dragging from? If you're creating "folders" in the Source pane then yes, you can't drag a photo into them. Then will only take albums, slideshows, books, calendars, cards and other albums.
So instead of creating folders in the Source pane, create an album and put the photos into it. You can use folders to further organize the albums. But albums are the primary photo container (except for rolls of course).
What saved area are you referring to? If you've selected a photo page then yes, you can't delete the section that is used to house the photos for the slideshow. If you don't want that, create a new page with a different layout, Welcome, About me, or blank. Whichever works best for you. The blank lets you completely customize the page, background, etc.

How come my iweb template is half the size of my web page is their any way to expand it.

The Inspector is the blue circle with the I.
The Inspector has 10 icons.
Each icon represents a purpose :
Adding hyperlinks,
Changing the textformatting,
Changing the width and height of objects,
Changing the page settings,
If you're familiar with a wordprocessor you will recognize most icons.
There's also an often ignored word in the menu bar : HELP

Create iWeb Templates

Can anybody tell me how can i create a n iWeb templates?

You can only be able to create real iweb template by create them in XML file. Here is a brief description: http://11mystics.com/tools/iweb/create-iweb-templates/
using a blank page (as mentioned) will get you just a blank page (with your layout), nothing spectacular about that.
but if you want albums, photos, blogs and podcast template... you will need to create template XML file.

Can I customize iWeb Templates?

Can I customize iWeb templates? For example, if I use a template, can I customize the background, navigation bar text, etc...? PLEASE HELP!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The Inspector/Page/Layout pane is used to change the page and browser backgrounds.
Click to view full size
You can use solid, web safe colors for both or your own graphic files. This may not work for some themes that have their own unique graphic files for part of their background, like the center light area of the Darkroom theme.

IWeb template copyright

So I am making a widget that is really more a of module or addition (Ie it requires several pages in its own right) that customers will be able to buy. As it is now, I have that widget embedded in an iWeb template, and this is how I would like to sell it. The majority of users will just take the widget's html/javascript code and put it into their own pages so no copyright issues there, but some of the less adept may just want to upload my widget, pages and all, and use them in their entirety.
What do you think?
I went through all of the pages that I would like to pass on - I have trimmed out a lot of the apple javascript as it really is not cross-browser capable and is fairly bloated. The code of the pages I would like to pass on mention nothing of copyright except for navbar.js which says:
"// iWeb - navbar.js // Copyright (c) 2007 Apple Inc. All rights reserved."
A few of the other ones just say:
"// Created by iWeb 2.0.4 local-build-20100911"
So maybe I can't use navbar.js, but I am fine with the other ones? What does all rights reserved mean here? Really appreciate the help. Not a lawyer and have no desire to be accosted by one. Thanks again. The answer may be in the license agreement, but I really don;t feel qualified to interpret that.

I went through all of the pages that I would like to pass on - I have trimmed out a lot of the apple javascript as it really is not cross-browser capable and is fairly bloated. The code of the pages I would like to pass on mention nothing of copyright except for navbar.js which says:
have you looked at iWebSite.js file?
do you use images? have you looked at iWebImage.js?
do you use albums and/or photos page> have you looked at iWebMediaGrid.js?
they all have copyright warning.

DreamWeaver Template change not updating children webpages?

Hi Group,
Sorry for my newbie question here.
I loaded an HTML webpage, and saved it out as a DreamWeaver Template file.
I then created webpages from the template file (( File - New - Page From Template - Site - Template), and made sure that the "Update Page when Template Changes" check box was selected/checked.
I then created several chldren webpages, and saved them as .html files.
I decided to change the navbar system - part of the uneditiabel region in the template - by opening the template file and edit-ing that file, and then saving it as the same DreamWeaver template file.
However, the webpages did Not Update to reflect the navbar changes in the template fle !??!???
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I believe it is something that I'm doing incorrectly with DreamWeaver ..
Here is the HTML if anyone is interested.

Additional Info:
No -I haven't been able to get the DW Template feature to work on other sites - this is my first application of it to a website (actually it's the whole reason for getting DreamWeaver... I know it works, I know that I'm doing something wrong.. I just don't know what it is...)
All the .HTML files (index.html, cad.html, cam.html, etc. etc.) are in the website's root directory.
The Template file is in its own sub-directory folder named "Templates".
Right now even the .css file is in the root directory....
Thank You for trying to help me - I greatly appreciate it.

If you use Threshold, you can add some gaussian blur to the image to make the edges smoother. You can also add a brightness/contrast adjustment layer between the blurred image and the threshold layer to fine tune the edges.
If you have Windows, you might want to look at Medhi's Fine Threshold filter (freeware) found here:
http://www.mehdiplugins.com/english/finethreshold.htm
Edit: You could also use Find Edges on the image first; desaturate it; then use a threshold adjustment layer. Go back to the Find Edges layer and add gaussian blur to taste. To further fine tune, slip a brightness/contrast layer between the blurred image and the threshold to control line thickness/detail. (FWIW, I would make a copy of the Find Edges layer and blur the duplicate so if you change your mind you don't have to start the project from scratch.)
