KMZ (Google Earth) files on iWeb site

I use MotionX GPS to record tracks of our trips.
I then email the track to myself. This results in an attached KMZ file.
Launching the file launches Google Earth and the track is nicely displayed with the start and finish pins at the top and bottom of the window.
I would like to add the tracks to my iWeb blog, so that a visitor could select a track and GE would launch (in another window, if need be) and display the track.
Does anyone (Old Toad maybe?) know how to do this in iWeb?
Thanks, HNick

OK. I think I got it so far. I got the GE plug-in (really the API, right?). Got my magic ID number (long). I now have GE in iWeb.
there are two parts, the ifr part is web gadget and an api for embed kml link to the gadget.
What I don't understand is how to get the KMZ files (one for each trip - 6 of them so far) into iWeb, so that they can be opened in GE.
first, upload your kmz files to your web host.
It looks like Cyclosaurus' example uses the track as part of the GE api - in my case that would be a separate instance (?) of GE for each track?
that's correct, go to my GE example here: http://goo.gl/w307f
copy the url (it's a long url) and paste it in text editor.
search for &upkmlurl= , you'll see it points to my kmz file on my site, replace my url with an absolute url points to one of your kml file.
also search for &title= and replace what after that with a title for your track.
end product is your GE URL to view in a browser. - long url -
back to your iweb project, add an html snippet; copy + paste the following:
<iframe src="put your GE URL here - the long url " frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
in iweb this will display as google map because iweb does not have support for GE plug-in, this also is true for browser that does not support GE plug-in such as ie. that's the fall back mode.
repeat the process for the other KMZ.

How to get KMZ (Google Earth) files into FCPX.

What do I have to do to get Google Earth KMZ files into FCPX? Hopefully I can convert these files easily. I don't see any other file type options given by Google.
Thank You,
Craig

One simple way would be to get Google Earth displaying its videos and then use QT Player's "New Screen Recording" facility.

Can I attach a (google earth) file, and oppen with dps?

Hi
In ipad mail or safari I can view and open different file formats attached, as kmz in google earth, with "open in"…
Can I open google earth file (kmz) in ipad (with google earth app installed) with any html dps trick?
I tried with "HTMLResources/file.kmz" and don't work…
Thanks,

You might want to try having a hyperlink in your document that links to a web location that has the .kmz file located. Make the hyperlink open up in Safari, and you should be good there.
Does that work?

Flash files in iWeb site hosted by Godaddy?

Anybody know how to use .swf files in an iWeb site hosted on Godaddy?
I'm trying to see how to use a few .swf files (flash) in my site which I built and maintain with iWeb.
I had set them up back in the .mac days and they were able to work. When .mac ended, I switched the hosting to Dropbox which worked fine (though a little slow) but I guess I hadn't checked those .swf animations. When I was preparing to move the site to GoDaddy recently, the animations weren't working.
My site is now up and running on GoDaddy and I'd like to get those animations working. I've googled/searched for information, but all the info seems to be about using idisk or .mac. Since those no longer exist, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it.

Upload the files in a folder to the root folder on the server using an FTP app. This page is about audio files but it's the same method for flash...

Then reference each file in an iframe code. See this page for more info...

Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

Hi
Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
That's correct.
Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
You can create folders as you like.
Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.

Pdf file on iweb site?

Can I insert a pdf document to be downloaded from my iweb site?
Thanks

Yes you can, and I don't think you have to concern yourself with iDisk. Here's what iWeb's Help viewer says:
To create a hyperlink:
Select the text or object you want to turn into a hyperlink.
If the Link Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Link Inspector button.
In the Link Inspector, select “Enable as a hyperlink,” and then choose "A File" option from the Link To pop-up menu:
A File: Downloads a file to the visitor’s computer. (The file is part of your website; visitors won’t have access to your computer.)<<< </div>
...Choose your PDF file.
Note: The downloadability won't be apparant in iWeb - only when you've published the site will you be able to click on the link in a browser and test that the PDF downloads correctly.

Too Many Files in iWeb Site - Why must iWeb create so many duplicates?

I have created a website for all of my family photos. My current hosting plan gives me 100GB space and a limitation of 20,000 files.
The problem that I have at the moment is how iWeb creates the site and all of the required files for display. I am using the Dark Room theme in iWeb 2008. Basically, it takes the picture that you want to display, adds it to the top page, then creates a directory for that picture, and into this directory it creates and stores a micro.jpg file, a mip.jpg file, and a thumb.jpg file. So to display a single picture, you have a minimum of 4 supporting files and directories.
Also, iWeb seems to store all of the
I have a lot of pictures, around 3,000, so I am approaching the file quota set by my web hosting service. To resolve this my questions are:
1) Does every theme in iWeb create all of these additonal files for displaying the pictures?
2) Maybe I just have some preference in iWeb set incorrectly. Is there something that would improve this? I could put all of the photo albums onto a single page to reduce all of the common graphics that are being stored, but that seems a bit ridiculous to have to do.
3) Maybe I should change my web hosting company. I have checked both my hosting company and other hosting companies to see what the file quotas are. None of them seem to list this. I am reluctant to change my hosting company only to find that the new hosting company has the same sort of limitation in place. Has anyone had issues with file quotas?

To cut your file sizes, use the Black or the White template.
Photo album pages don't work too well. They look good but you have to keep the number of albums and the number of photos per album fairly small if you want the page to download in a reasonable time.
Obviously your individual image file sizes have to be reasonable.
I turn off "Optimize images on import" in iWeb preferences and use ImageWell to reduce the size because it has a visual indicator. Try it out to see what I mean...

Much more PNG files in iWeb site and make it slowly

I found that iWeb will change some text into PNG files, it cause anyone can not copy the text from my page, and make the page size bigger and slowly.
And then, I don't know when iWeb will change text into PNG, when it will not. Sometimes when I write some words in the page, and publish, I can see the words are in text format, but when I continue adding words in it and publish again, I found that all the words has been changed into PNG.
So, when a page loading in Safari, I can see much more image files in my page, but not text+image same as a normal web page.
All that make the site loading very slowly. I don't like that if iWeb look like this.

Instead of creating a hyperlink and then choose a file, put the pdf(s) on the server yourself first.
Create a separate folder for them.
Then determine the URL(s) to the file(s).
In iWeb add a hyperlink *to an external page*. Use one of the URLs to the pdfs.
Now you can update the pdf without iWeb.

Updating pdf files in iweb site

I have a site with several pdf files linked throughout the site. These pdf's get updated regularly, and I assumed that if I replace them with a new file named the same, it would update on the website. Strangely it does not.
The only way I can get the pdf links to go to the new document is to break the link and then re-establish it. Even though the old file doesn't exist any more (has been replaced), it still persistently shows up.
While I can continue to do this, it is tedious as multiple documents are linked on multiple pages throughout the site.
Have tried publish and publish all. Is their any way to force iweb to use the new pdf files, or is there a different way to link them in the first place?
The whole idea was so that multiple people could upload content to my public folder (schedules, lists, etc) in pdf and update the info without having to mess with the site.

Google AdSense settings in iWEB site

Hi all,
I developed a site using iWeb and I added some AdSense box into it. I have to issue: the first one is that not all the AdSense boxes are avilable in iWeb and the secondo one, that is more important for me, is that If I add ad AdSense box from iWeb I can't manage it from adSense account. For example: if I would like to force the language to italian I can't do it. Are there some workaround to manage the AdSense ADV from AdSense account, like the ADV generated directly from AdSense? Many thanks if you can help me!

What I've done on my page is put a mixture of the two:
Adsense generated from iWeb, (top) and adsense
that I created at Google Adsense and pasted the
code into the html snippets. ( bottom)
I control the html
snippet ones at the Google Adsense page
on my Google account, and the others
simply change based upon what I post on the site or the blog.

Migration to a new machine lost all the background files for iWeb site

Help!
I have just migrated to a new mac pro from my old G5 power mac. I use the migration tool to move all my stuff over to the new machine.
When i started up iWeb and looked at my site, all the background items are gone. it tells me there are missing files. these are all the standard iWeb theme files.
i don't even know where to start. where are these files supposed to be? can i transfer them over manually from the old mac to the new one?
i really don't want to re assign themes for 100 or so pages.
thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Manually copy the domain.sites2 file that's in your *+User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder+* on the G5 to the same location on your new Mac Pro, replacing the domain file that's there now due to the migration assistant. See if that will open with all files.

Pdf files in iWeb Site

I am new to iWeb and I would like to list PDF files in my iWeb page that could be downloaded by a visitor. Is this possible?

Is it possible to create a google earth kml or kmz file with photos from aperture?

It is possible to obtain a plugin for Lightroom that will create a single google earth file that includes all geo tagged photos on a track viewable in google earth. Does anyone know if this is possible from within Aperture?

Frank,
Thanks for your quick post. My question involves the zipping up together a batch of geotagged photos along with the track, not necessarily the procedure for importing tracks; I am already familiar with that. I would like to do this from within Aperture. Since the first posting this morning I have downloaded Picasa for the Mac. I know I can do what I want with that software. Thanks again.

Using Google Analytics with iWeb site

Is it possible to use Google Analytics with an iWeb site? They have code they want me to put before the </body> tag.... and I can't find that tag. How do I get the code to show in iWeb? Can I insert this with an HTML snippet?
Thanks!

Hello ruralart,
After saving the automator workflow as a Finder Plugin,
mount you iDisk in the finder (ex. click on the iDisk icon in the left pane of a Finder window),
goto the folder iDisk / Web / Sites , select this folder "sites",
control-click on the folder to run the “Add Google Analytics” workflow.
Note : when you have iDisk Sync = ON, you'll see that the folder "web" is an alias so Automator will not work in this situation. You'll have to turn iDisk Sync OFF.
Kind regards,
Leo

Link to Google Earth

How can I can have a button in iWeb which when clicked takes me to a specific location of google earth (either within my site or a separate window)?
Thanks

I haven't the foggiest. This is the first I've heard of the Google Earth AVI. You're the first to mention it in these forums. It sounds like you have to sign up for a AVI account, give them the URL to the page you want to put it on and then add the code. But I didn't see where to get the code.
It's API (not AVI): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API.
You sign up with google and they send you a hash key, then you have to work out the code with the API and add to your page using HTML Snippet.
But you can keep it simple and go with google map (instead of google earth).
I have a rough mashups system for my geotag system (see my home page), generate google earth KML, google map and then link back to iweb photos page.
Sorry, I'm not posting any of that here (not just yet).
