Iweb text as image -- help!!!

I can't understand... I used the black template and I had two different behaviors:
in the "about me" page the text box on the left after the publishing has been exported as image (keeping the hyperlinks) while all other pages every text box has been published as a TEXT BOX!! How can I set Iweb to export EVERY TEXT BOX as image???
Please, it's driving me crazy!!
thanks

There's a simple workaround to this problem which also drove me nuts. On version 1.1.1 at least the problem is with the templates. Don't put your main text into the boxes provided - use this as a title box or leave it blank (it seems to need to have something in it as you can't get rid of the box itself although you can shrink it down). Create a new text box and paste your text into it and it should render as text- it did on mine. Don't forget to use a single, web friendly, simple font as other contributers have suggested.
Check the pages in the personal development section of my site -
www.thecontinuum.org.uk
Strangely the first page just wouldn't do the same thing without goofing up the rest of the page- putting hyperlinks in thwrong place etc. I left it as image in the end- if anyone knows what's going on there then let us know.

Goblegegook in iWeb text... help!

Hi there, I published a site ages ago using iWeb and needed to make some changes today. I opened up iWeb for the first time in months and it's gone mad! All the text is gobbledegook! I've tried trying different fonts and it kind of goes to normal (ish), but there's always something not quite right. In most fonts though it is total mumbo jumbo! I haven't done anything to it and the last time I looked it was fine!
I really don't want to have to rebuild the site from scratch, and even if I did - I'm worried that the same thing will happen again.
Has anyone eles had this problem, and is there a solution please?
Thanks
Dominic.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Need help with adding formatted text and images to Crystal Report?

Here's my scenario:
I have a customer statement that's generated as a crystal report and that has a placeholder for advertisement. The advertisement is mixture of formatted text and images. Until now we only had one advertisement that was always used on the report. The new requirement is that we would have a pool of hundreds of advertisements and would need to display one specific advertisement on the customer statement based on various marketing criteria. They key is that the advertisement content will be determined programmatically and cannot be hardcoded into the report. I'm using Crystal2008 with .net SDK.
Here are the solutions I thought of, but I'm still rather lost and would appreciate your help/opinion.
1) Pass HTML or RTF to the report
Not really sure if this is possible and how to get it done. Also how would I pass in images? Would display formatting be reliable when exporting to PDF?
2) Create each add as a subreport and append it programatically
I actually have this working, but I only know how to append a new section to the end of the report and then load the subreport to the section. I have no other controll of the placement. Is there a way to dynamically load a subreport to a predefined section in the main report? How about adding a dummy subreport in the main report as a placeholder and then replacing it with a different subreport? How could I do this?
3) Pass an Image to the report
I would create each advertisement as an image and then would somehow add the image to the report. How would I load the image and control the placement? Could I somehow define a placeholder for the image in the main report-maybe a dummy image to be replaced?
Thank you.

Hello Pavel,
I would got the third way.
You can use dynamic images in your report.
Just by changing the URL to the image the image can be changed.
Please see the [Crystal Manual|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_usergde_en.pdf] and search for images.

3) I have tried running it as an admin, but it does not change anything. The program still closes without my consent.
4) I have tried installing and reinstalling multiple times. It does not work even if I do not get the update (11.0.08)

In that case we might want to have a look at the crash logs to check what is failing.
How to create a user-mode process dump file in Windows Vista and in Windows 7

Also please be aware that if you are using a 64-bit system you need to follow a different procedure to collect the DMP file to avoid us getting this error from the IDE when attempting to view the file “Debugging a 64-bit dump of a 32-bit process is not supported, please collect a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process."
You can get the correct dump by going to the location referenced in this blog excerpt:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amb/archive/2011/05/12/do-not-collect-32bit-process-dumps-with-64b it-task-manager.aspx
So, you need to use 32bit debugger, if you would like to collect a dump of a 32bit process. So, if your process is 32bit, then you need to run 32bit version of the task manager on a 64bit OS. 32bit task manager is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and the name of the file is taskmgr.exe.

Help Me Understand: Readabilty of Text in Images

I make a webcomic (CarpeChaos.com for examples), so I produce a lot of images with a fairly extensive amount of text in them. I want to make sure the fonts in those images are as readable as possible. My experience on this topic is just someone who has read a lot about it online, I'm not professionally trained, so some of my assumptions may be flawed, please point them out. I'm using CS2, but my copy of CS5 is in the mail.
Photoshop is the core of our workflow and our PSDs are set up as several layers of image data and several layers of text. We don't rasterize the text at any point. The text is almost exclusively high contrast grayscale (aka black text on white backgrounds). Each PSD is 2880x3240, but we publish at 960x1080 AND 640x720.
What I know about font rendering tells me that fonts are rendered differently at different sizes, and that scaling rasterized text in images smears them into horrible messes.
With that in mind, I've been a bit of a fascist when it comes to our image mastering process. I never flatten text layers, nor rasterize the text in any other way. My assumption is that Save For Web... in Photoshop does the smart thing by resizing first, then rasterizing the text. Therefore, I use the "Image Size" tab in Save For Web dialog to produce the right sized images. Our jpeg compression is usually between 67% and 87%, although on rare occasion it can go as high as 100%. This produces rather crisp text with about as good of readability as I can hope for in a jpeg.
Unfortunately, this process takes a fair amount of time, and I'd love to dump all our PSDs into a script that generates the jpegs automatically. I've been playing around with File-->Scripts-->Image Processor but haven't yet gotten results that match doing it by hand. And frankly, from the dialogs, I don't trust that it respects my vector fonts as much as I do.
I'm not opposed to switching image formats to png or something else, it just needs to be web friendly.
So I have two questions for the wisdom of this forum:
1) Do you know any way that I can improve readability over what I'm currently doing?
2) How can I get the same results with less work? Is there a way I can get optimal results from an image processor script?

I often use layer styles to make text more readable. Drop shadow and outer glow are often very useful for this, and they don't have to be turned all the way up to greatly increase readability.
For example, for the back jacket of a book, I was putting some light text on a mostly dark background consisting of an image with a lot of stars in it. The letters occasionally overlaid or nearly overlaid stars, and this became kind of distracting. Some drop shadow isolated the text and kept the appearance of the star field intact.

Features include;
1) Easily add meta tags such as description and keywords
2) Edit your title tags for each pages
3) Add robot rules and language meta tags
4) Add alternative text for images
5) All settings are saved in a private database so next time you publish your site you can take all the saved SEO copy and apply to your new site

Text or images?

Thanks for any help.

Barb,
You can tell if your text has been shifted to an image by visiting the website (in your browser) and trying to select the text. If you can select the text, then it is text; if not, it is an image.
The title of your second site's home page is an image, the others I checked are not. And in the case of the second site (iidmaterialhandling.com) I don't think that's a big deal, since the name is also in the text.
I'm not an expert on registering on Google, so someone else will have to give you some pointers, but I don't think that the text to image issue is part of your problem here.

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.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

How can i create a simple netweaver portal page that shows text and images?

Hi,
i have a simple question or maybe it's not so simple.
I am completly new to SAP Netweaver 2004s Portal. At the moment i'm trying to understand the struture of the whole thing. I already know how to create roles, worksets and pages and i know how to combine the different elements so a user can acces them.
And now i want to create a simple portal page that shows text and images. Is it possible to create such a simple page with the portal content studio? What iView do i have to use?
(I just want to create a start page with a welcome text on it.)

Marc
Considering that you would any ways go ahead with complex development from this simple start page I recommend create a Web dynpro Iview for your start page (include the Iview in your page).
For putting the contents use Netweaver Developer studio to build a simple start page application and put your static text on that Iview.
Please go through the following log after your NWDS development is over - This will make you comfortable for further challenging work.

How to make mouseover effect text show image in popup window or tooltip?

I am trying to display a popup image in a new window when the mouse moves over some text. Or perhaps, the image could display in a tooltip when the mouse moves over some text.
However, I have achieved the functionality of an image appearing above the text when the mouse moves over some text. This is how I did this:
I put this code into the Page HTML Header:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
I created a region and put this in the Region's Title field:
{div onmouseover="setFirstChildImgDisplay(this,'inline')" onmouseout="setFirstChildImgDisplay(this,'none')">Check out Page 1 here <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#DGNR Preview Page 1.bmp" alt="Page 1 Preview" style="display:none;">{/div}
I am thinking that I should not have all of this code in the Region's Title field. But, I don't know where else to put it in APEX.
So my questions are:
1. how to get an image to display in a popup window or as a tooltip when the mouse is moved over some text?
2. where should the {div} content be placed in APEX, if not in the Title field?
Please note that I used '{' & '}' instead of '<' & '>' just so the div would display in this post.
Also, I would like to give credit to this website because this is where I found out how to do what I have provided above.

Stretched text and image with FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE after Air player update

One of my Air applications uses StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE to switch to full screen during the presentation of some sheets.
Everything worked fine untill some users reported a streching of texts and images in the sheets.
It turns out that the problem occurs after an update from the Adobe Air Player to 3.1 from 2.7.
The first screen shots shows the text as it should be, the second screen shot shows the text after the update of the Air Player.
The code used to go into the Full Screen mode is:
    public function setFullScreenInteractive(fullScreenWidth:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL, fullScreenHeight:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL):void
                         s.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(          0, 0, fullScreenWidth, fullScreenHeight);
        s.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
with Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL = 800 and Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL = 600.
I can reproduce the problem on a couple of computers with Windows Xp but it's not happening on all the computers I've tested.
Any idea how to fix this (without telling my users to Uninstall the current Air Player and reinstall the Air Player 2.7)?
Regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,
Unfortunately the correct screenshot link appears to broken. Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?

Is the BSP extension better than this solution(Text and Image in Button)?

Hi guys,
I have a concept question to decide whether a BSP extension is needed.
I want to put text and image in htmlb button, and used the solution like below:
<%
data image type ref to cl_htmlb_image.
data: image_string type string.
create object image.
image->id = 'back'.
image->src = cl_bsp_mimes=>sap_icon( id = '@9S@' ).
image->tooltip = 'Go back'.
clear image_string.
image_string = image->IF_BSP_BEE~RENDER_TO_STRING( page_context ).
        %>
        <xhtmlb:toolbarButton id      = "back"
                              onClick = "back"
                              text    = "<%= image_string %>" />
But this solution is not desired by customer, since they don't think it looks nice. So is it possible to create my own BSP extension to get a nicer element?
Thanks for any hint.

Hi,
By a nicer element...did you mean to display a better image...or a nicer image ????
if yes, the you can upload any image you need and then use it here...

Box containing text and image (fit frame to contents).

Hi all,
The best way I can describe what I am trying to achieve is to show you a picture.
So essentially, I'm looking to create a grey box, containing some text with an image floating to the right hand side. I want about 2mm space (padding) inside the grey box so no content goes right to the edge and I want the text to wrap around the image. The bit I'm finding tricky is when I go to use the 'Fit frame to content' option. I'm trying to remove the space indicated by the red arrows but if I anchor the image inside the text frame, the grey box shrinks to the height of the text and the image overflows.
This would be incredibly simple to achieve on the web, am I doing something wrong?
Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, been out for an hour.
I understood that you want to have some variable height text frame (the gray box), and that this box should reduce in height to fit the text contained therein, but not less than necessary for the bottom to be 2mm below the bottom edge of the variable height image (which I'm presuming is anchored to the first line of text in the frame) in a case where there is not sufficient text for fit frame to content to avoide making the frame shorter than the bottom of the image.
I believe this could be scripted, but that will still require you to run the script. You should ask over in InDesign Scripting
As far as a container that holds both text and image frames, yes, but only if you "paste into" a new frame after creating the two separately and grouping, which probably is not what you have in mind.
