$link$ in Blog Archives

My site has been up before and worked in previous incarnations of iWeb. Now I have uploaded in '08 and the Archive page sometimes display the link to the blog entry as /$link$ instead of the correct URL. This is usually remedied by a refresh. Happens in Safari and Firefox.
Help!

I have the same problem. My earliest blog entries from 2006 don't display the correct link, and I see the $link$ that you get and receive a "page not found" message in Safari. However, if one of the pages appears in a search, the correct link URL is displayed below it, and when I click it, I get the page. I'd like to find out which file contains the links for the Archive, but I haven't found the right page in the Domain file on my computer or in the blog archive files on my iDisk. I know enough about editing HTML to be able to manually correct the link if that's the problem, but I haven't found where the break occurs.
Here's my website: http://web.mac.com/juliekaye and the broken links occur at the bottom of the Year 1 archive.

  • Links in blog archive not working

    Can anybody help me get more reliable performance from my iWeb archives page?
    http://web.mac.com/truthmaker/Site/Blog/Archive.html
    I am getting very frustrated with the Archives page for the blog I've created with iWeb. Often -- very, very often, the links on the Archives page for past posts are corrupted -- not by me, but somehow by the software. When these links are clicked, instead of showing the proper link and taking viewers there, the link looks like: http://web.mac.com/truthmaker/Site/Blog/$link$. This of course results in one of two different types of "Page not Found" pages.
    One looks like this:
    Not Found
    http://web.mac.com/truthmaker/Site/Blog/$link$
    The requested URL was not found on this server.
    お探しのURLはこのサーバーでは見つかりませんでした。
    L'URL que vous avez sollicitée n'a pas été trouvée sur ce serveur.
    Die URL, die Sie angefordert haben, wurde nicht auf diesem Server gefunden.
    The other is a more professional-looking page that says "We're sorry, but we can't find the iWeb page you requested. . . "
    This is maddening to the point of being infuriating. These links are not always corrupted, but it seems to happen randomly and frequently. This has nothing to do with my links, which are all fine when published. It appears that this is an issue with MobileMe.
    Anybody have any ideas on what I can do? My blog is extensive (more than 100 posts over eight months) and I have lots of people accessing it. The blog serves both personal and professional purposes and I cannot afford or tolerate such spotty performance. Though I love Apple products, this alone is enough to make me cancel my MobileMe subscription and look into web-hosting from a different vendor.

    Did you wait long enough for the 'archive' page to fully load before you clicked on a link ?
    If not, then you may have clicked on an incompletely loaded url, resulting in the "not found" MobileMe page. (yes, indeed it's about fractions of a second, that is why it seems to happen randomly)
    If this happened in Safari, clear the cache and wait for the page to fully load. Does that help ?
    Ps : I can navigate from your archive to the corresponding entry ( tried 4 random links)
    For other browsers, if you wait long enough for the page to fully load and then do a "reload page" and again wait long enough ... does that help ?
    When you hoover over the links and do get a $links$ move over to the next one, go back... now do you see the correct link ? Not always, but most of the time it's a blog entry with a very long filename.

  • Link to blog archive has disappeared

    Hi, I was hoping someone could help me out. The link to the archive of my blog entries has disappeared from my main blog page with my 5 latest postings.
    I tried creating a link to "archive.html" - but that doesn't seem to have worked. The archived entries are in iWeb. I just need to find a way to recreate the link
    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks for the help - that cleared the issue right up.
    Cheers!

  • Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger's Blog Archive links?

    I noticed this just started happening about week ago. Firefox 3.6.27 (Mac) doesn't work with Google Blogger when clicking in the Blog Archive sidebar links. I can't upgrade because I'm using a PowerMac. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

    I press the combination after having some of the document's text selected, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to apply the paragraph style in the first place. But the real thing is I do the exact same with other paragraph styles combinations (Cmd+Alt+1, Cmd+Alt+2, Cmd+Alt+4, Cmd+Alt+5...) and it works. In Safari, even the one I'm interested in works (Cmd+Alt+3). The natural solution, it appears to me, would be a shortcut conflict, but I can't manage to find it, not even disabling my four add-ons (Adblock Plus, bookmarks-deiconizer, Customizable Shortcuts, YouTube to MP3). The Google forums are not finding a solution either. Anyway, thank you for trying.

  • Is it possible to have a blog archive page including pictures?

    In my blog, there is a blog summary, and there is the blog archive page. The blog summary shows the main picture of the blog, however, the blog archive is only a title list with links previous blogs.
    Is it possible to also show pictures in the blog archive page (next to the blog title)?
    So far, I have not been able to find this functionality in IWeb. Maybe it doesn't exist?
    Thanx!

    In the upper right of this forum's _main page_ is a +Search Forum+ bar. If you enter:
    blog archive image
    ...into it and hit Enter, you'll find the first hit in the list is your answer.

  • Blog Archive in iWeb

    Dear All,
    I am putting up my first site in iWeb and I am having trouble with the Blog Archive. It automatically places the Blog archive as a page underneath the Blog parent, and will not allow me to drag it out into the main tree structure of the site. This means that I am unable to put the Blog Archive into the site navigation. Does anyone know how to get the Blog Archive into the site navigation, or is the only way to link to it to provide a manual link from any page that you feel it should be available from?
    Thanks, Jules

    Different methods:
    Method 1. make a blank page of the white or black template , name it "Archive", drag and drop a fragment html, insert this code :
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.location.replace('http://urlof_your_blog_archivepage.html');
    </script>
    In this code replace http://urlof_your_blog_archivepage.html
    Now, the item "Archive" is in the menu, and your blank page redirects to your Blog Archive page,
    or
    Method 2. Don't display the navigation menu, do your own menu with links (inspector > link > hyperlink > link to my page ) with a link to your archive page (it is what I do on my [website|http://iweb.debutersurmac.com] ).

  • Creating a Blog Archive vs Sidebar

    I've searched and found some previous articles but the resource links have recently been deleted.
    We have a blog with 200+ articles. The gentleman who controls the blog creates new tags each post. Therefore we have 175+ tags listed. I wouldn't mind these being included in our sidebar but not 175+ of them.
    Therefore, I've been trying to find a workaround to create an Archive page like you would find with Wordpress. I created a page outside of the blog module using the correct tag syntax - no luck. I tried creating a blog post and adding the correct syntax to pull all tags - no luck.
    Is there a way to create a blog archive page where I can list all the tags and the previous X-number of recent posts?
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    You have tags to tag keywords but you also have the categories and the caterogies in the admin to set up and also tag. You also have the archive ability.
    You can find the tags here: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1342.html#main_Blogs

  • How to change the color of blog titles on blog archive page?

    So while I'm waiting for apple to fix iweb's publishing problem, I might as well do a revamp of my site in the meantime.
    One thing I've been itching to change, but can't is the color of the blog titles on the main blog archive page? They show up in red, even when I change the color on the actually blog entry page to blue. Can anyone please help?
    http://web.mac.com/stephenjames716/iWeb/home/blog/blog.html
    Thanks,

    All of this style information is contained in the .css files that iWeb publishes. Here is a very informative introduction to editing these files...

  • IWeb 09 Crashing at Blog Archive creation

    I have a blog with several hundred entries, and iWeb 09 has not been able to publish it, crashing every time during the creation of the blogs Archive page. This happens when trying to publish to MobileMe, or to a folder.
    Anyone else seeing this?

    This is not an iWeb 09 issue... I just tried installing the OS and iLife 08 on an external drive.. and publishing the ENTIRE site with iLife 08.. and it fails too. I watched the system run out of memory, prior to crashing. My 1.5 GB site needs more than 4GB of RAM to publish.
    HELP APPLE!

  • Transfer old 1.0 iweb blog archive into a new template

    I want to change templates for my iweb blog. Is there a way to copy my old blog archive into the new site. I'd hate to loose all the old content.
    Thanks
    imac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Unfortunately, as of this moment with iWeb 1.1.1 there is no way to change themes/templates for pages that are already published. You will have to recreate your blog in order to use a new template. Alternatively, I guess you could just start a new blog with the new template.

  • Iweb blog archive photos?

    My picture thumbnails aren't showing up in the blog archives. I thought the pictures were showing up before. What happened? I don't see an option for turning them on and off in the archives only on the mail blog page. Help?

    Thanks for that explanation. I was having the same problem and that fixed it. However, if you want this to work, you cannot have text wrap around the photo on the entry page. To have text wrap you have to cut and paste the photo into the text block. This appears to "erase" the attributes of "placeholder" from the image and it is therefore not recognized as such on the summary page. A nice fix would be for the designer to have the ability of inserting a placeholder into the text block. I don't see that option anywhere.

  • How to split a huge Blog Archive

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if there's a way to split the huge Blog Archive of my website, or subdivide it into monthly Archives.
    If yes, how?
    Thanks for your help.
    Antonio

    I agree with you. The inability to sub divide blog postings is a huge, HUGE, design failure. It's as if Apple understands nothing about blogs.

  • Blog/Archive may be corrupted, what to do?

    For over a week now, I've been struggling with the same publishing errors ("Can't create the file Shapeimage..." while attempting to update my Blog. While I can't be certain, the issue seems to surround the Archive, as that's the page that, while attempting to publish, inevitably results in the error message. Regardless, I've been unable to complete a Publish.
    Can anyone offer some helpful suggestions as to how to remove/rebuild the Archive - thereby forcing iWeb to recreate the Archive from scratch? The Blog is nearly 300 entries long.
    Also, I've newly encountered something called "Library," housed used Blog/Archive in the Site Organizer. What is Library?

    Randy...
    I don't know if this will make a bit of difference at all in your situation, but it's something that I've tried in the past with no ill effects. Make iWeb generate a new Domain file for your site...
    1. FIRST AND FOREMOST, make a backup copy of your Domain file NOW.
    2. Open up iWeb and just leave it open...
    3. Go back to your original Domain file and drag it to the trash. But don't empty the trash!
    4. Now click back to iWeb and select "Save" from the File menu
    5. iWeb should complain that your Domain file is in the trash and ask if you want it to save a new Domain file. Accept the default location.
    When iWeb is done saving, you should have a new Domain file sitting in the default location (/Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/). Quit iWeb and reopen it again to make sure that your site is still there with the new Domain file (remember your original Domain file is still in the trash if you need it!). Then try to publish. Let me know if you see any difference. NOTE: This may trigger a "publish all" type of event, so it may take a little while.

  • Blog archives missing text but photos still show. Mac genius's stumped...

    Why would my text disappear from my older blog archives while my photos still show up?
    The text is still there, because if you bring up the html and view it in source mode you can see it...
    but just not on the blog page... like if you used white font on a white background. Any ideas?
    Even the genius's at the apple store couldn't figure this one out.
    thanks, mark.
    http://www.artfulrvadventures.com go to archives before may of this year...

    thank you cyclosaurs... I've been AWOL lately and am tardy with this response. *I should be able to just republish from my backup files, right?*
    Mark,
    Not just yet.
    What you should do is to publish your site to a folder in your local machine, then look for these xml files.
    If these xml files are published and exist in you local machine then you can force apple to correct the problem - otherwise, you may/will face the same problem in the future, when they screw up again.
    I will try to repost if I learn anything from the MME techs
    Jessica,
    I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but I would leave your blog as it is for now... *it's a long shot, perhaps* apple can recover those xml files.

  • How to find linked IDOCs from Archive Sales Orders

    Hi Experts,
        Just would like to know if there's a way to find  IDOCs that is linked to an archive Sales Order. I'm archiving IDOCs base on its Sales Order Document, If the SO doc is already archive then its IDOCs should also be archive.
    Best regards,
        JP

    Hi Mylen,
    Yup... they're linked. Our sales order document are created from an IDOCs. During the archiving of those sales orders, it's related  IDOCs are still left in the system and later archived according to their age and not the status. What I want to do is  to hold  IDocs for as long as the reference sales document (object) is still on the system and archive them if the reference doc has been archived. Thanks for replying.
    Best regards,
