Lost Link to MobileMe Pages in iWeb

I set up a second website with a new user on my computer. This is a mobile me website. I created the page the other day, logged out. When I signed back in, the page I created was no longer in iWeb. It still has me logged in to my other Mobile me account, and the page shows up on the iDisk. But it does not show up in iWeb.
How do I get iWeb to see that page again?

The web site files that iWeb uses are located in the domain.sites2 file/package. It's default location is located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Go there and double click on that file to open it. If the other site is not in there there may be another domain file somewhere on your hard drive. Download Find File and search for ".sites2". (Find File will search in areas that Spotlight cannot-a much more complete search).
If you don't find a second domain file and don't have a backup of the one in the default location you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

Lost Links to MobileMe Gallery on iWeb after updating to Snow Leopard

I recently updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I appear to have lost all of my past iWeb links to my MobileMe Galleries. It is so frustrating. This is a lot of work from the past. All of the pictures still appear on Mobile Me Gallery but the iWeb site does not recognize them. The place where the pictures used to be now has a white box with text "Upload album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu." Why! When I try to use the MobileMe Gallery widget like I did in the past, it sees none of my galleries! Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Thanks.
Here is what the page looks like now. You can see where the galleries used to be. --> http://web.mac.com/georgeparsons/TatnallRunPics/Home.html

Hi I just made one of my few visits to these forums because I had a problem kinda similar to yours. It was sending me nuts. Main indication of the problem was that when I went to add an album widgit it didn't show any of the albums I have in iphoto and no other fiddling back and forth republishing and the like fixed it. This was after working properly earlier in the day. I have just started to build a new website with iweb.
I then updated to the latest version of iweb, that is 3.0.1, and yes you guessed it, now its working fine. So just in case i thought i would mention what worked for me tho i see others with different fixes to the same problem. So this worked on my 2.4 MBP running 10.5.6 and iweb 3.0.1.
Good luck

Can there be an Home/Index page that has links to sub pages in iWeb?

How do you set up a Home page with links to other Photo web pages?
iWeb does a super job creating individual pages full of photos.
But if I want to have a "Directory" page that kicks off the whole site, how do I do that in iWeb?
I want to break up my photo pages into groups like:
Portraiture, Still Life, Life Style etc.

Thanks Will.
Most of my site is created in iWeb. I have been messing around with a iCalendar PHP also, to create a nice calendar for the site.
The Home page is a couple of programs used together.
1. I drew sketches of the little main street.
2. recreated the main Street in a GREAT program called SketchUp. it is the most User Friendly 3D program around and their Website has super tutorials to get you up and running in no time - seriously. Then exported it out to Photoshop as a flattened jpg. (I also did this for the individual buildings for my Banners)
3. In Photoshop, I painted my buildings and gave them some personality.
4. I originally had an Image Map that I created in ImageReady as my Home page, but that doesn't work for iWeb, so I had to use Flash.
5. I made a Flash Movie creating my Buttons and Links and Rollovers (Here you have to Plan some, cause you need to what pages you will have at the end and know the URL to the final pages iWeb produces. It is something like ..sitefolder/sitename/Home.html.
6. Then, I published it as a Quicktime Movie from Flash. You have to Publish as Flash 5 compatible in order to get a quicktime movie. Also, I set up my movie to loop, no controller, and auto play in Flash.
7. Put it on my Home page. (The controller shows up in iWeb, but not in the final Published Site. (I also do not have to manually change the HTML to autoplay "true" and controller "false" on this particular page. I do have to on others though.)
Thanks again Will, for your kind words - I have been working very hard on this site.

Page has lost links once published

Hello,
have created a site.
have published the site to me.com (and my personal server too)
links between pages got lost on both servers
Any idea what I do wrong? (Have done "published all" already - no change)
I am suspicious whether iWeb is "foreign language accents sensitive". I mean does not work with anything else than English. Is it?
Thanks
Martin

It is really extremely easy to set up either CNAME or ordinary web forwarding in iWeb/MMe.
1. Firstly, Publish All to MobileMe from within iWeb and your site will be published.
2. To set up CNAME, log into your MME account and then click on the personal section and then domain names. Then enter your domain name into your MMe account.
3. Go to your domain name registrar/hosting company and access the control panel and find the DNS settings section. You need to enter something similar to www, CNAME and then forward your domain name to web.me.com. With some you need to set to forward the @, CNAME and then web.me.com.
4. If you don't want to use CNAME then use ordinary web forwarding instead. Go to the web forwarding section and ensure that your domain is forwarded to web.me.com/username/sitename. You can have masked or unmasked forwarding too. Masked is better though.
All simple to follow - nothing complicated there.
If you want to upload directly, then try using Cyberduck as Tom suggested. Publish to a Folder from iWeb and this will go to the Site folder on your hard drive. Open Cyberduck and upload both the site folder with the same name as you gave your site in iWeb and the separate index.html file and place all in the Public_html folder and your site will be visible.

Breaking iWeb's Link to MobileMe

Hello,
As I have mentioned in the past in Discussions, I have a website that I have created in iWeb '08. I publish this website to a folder, then upload using Cyberduck. When I upgraded to Lion, I had some trouble choosing domains, but I have since solved that problem.
With this latest Lion update and my move to iCloud, I have a different problem: Every time I choose my website in iWeb, I get this popup (which I get sometimes when I go to websites that I have entered into my keychain):
"iWeb wants to use your confidential information stored in "myusername" in your keychain. Do you want to allow access to this item?"
I then have the option of clicking, "Always allow," "Allow," "Don't Allow." I have tried clicking "Always Allow," but it still pops up multiple times. I just keep clicking "Allow" over and over again, and eventually my iWeb site will load. I notice at the bottom of my iWeb screen, it shows that I am signed in to MobileMe, but I am wondering if there is a way I can open iWeb without having to sign in to MobileMe. I have tried clicking "Deny," but it just closes iWeb. I am nervous as to what is going to happen to my iWeb page in June/July, when MobileMe will not be functional anymore. Will I still be able to use iWeb '08 and publish my site to the folder? How can I break iWeb's link to MobileMe, so it stops trying to sign me on?
Thanks in advance for your help and thoughts!

I haven't used MobileMe for a while but I recently had to login to another person's iDisk and was getting this popup. Having said that I didn't experience iWeb closing when I clicked "Deny" in the popup.
After reading your post I opened Keychain Access.app (in the Utilities folder) and deleted the entry for that connection. No more popup.
Launch Keychain Access and, in the left column, selct "login" under Keychains and "...Passwords" under Category. Look for an entry with the MobileMe icon next to it and delete it.

Aperture web gallery - how to link back to main page from iWeb?

Okay, this may be simple, but I can't figure it out.
I created and uploaded a few web pages with iWeb to my dot.Mac account (web.mac.com/f8lee50) just to get a feel for things. I then created a web gallery with Aperture and uploaded it - naturally Aperture generated a URL for the gallery, which I set up as a link on my "Photos from Hawaii" page (the link is the word 'this' in the second paragraph, if you wawnt to look).
Okay, so this gets me from the "photos from Hawaii" page to the gallery, and within the gallery I can jump to the various images etc. But how does one navigate back to the "Photos from Hawaii" page from whence they came? Is there some sort of smart link that can be inserted (by Aperture?) that will send the viewer back to the main homepage? Or are the Aperture galleries essentially dead ends?

Richard, thanks for responding - I'll check that tutorial.
And thank you for the kind words, me100finn. I have not played with any variables as far as layout on the gallery (I did a bunch of stuff with the books, but the web gallery seems far less flexible) so I cannot answer your wuestion about the gray shadows.
Steve, thank you for the additional clarification (and the hint about spaces in URLs) - I guess what this all boils down to is that the web galleries from Aperture are not all that useful when they are meant to be a part of a bigger overall site. I'm not sure of what you meant when you say they have little forward or backward navigation in them - at least you can click on a thumbnail to get to an image, click next or previous or the grid to get back to the thumbnail galery. But, 'twould seem that hand coding HTML pages (the very thing I was hoping to avoid) is the only way to really integrate them. Given that, I gues the better approach will be just to use iWeb to load the images anyway.
Well, folks, thank you all for your answers. Until I do a re-do, I guess the back button is the way to go (which, for the record, I did sorta figure out myself

Links within pages in iWeb

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to create hyperlinks within a page in iWeb. Specifically, I'm trying to write a FAQ, and want to link individual questions listed at the top of the page with their answers further down in the page. Help???

Those are called anchors and not supported by iWeb. Put in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.
It can be done with HTML snippets and javascript as Cyclosaurus mentions here: http://widgets.cyclosaurus.com/Anchors/Anchorsfiles/widget0markup.html. But one must be proficient with javascript.
There's a crude workaround with snippets that Peter Berglund describes in his blog: http://web.me.com/petber/iWebtips/iWeb_Tips/Entries/2009/2/22_How_to_use_Anchors_iniWeb.html. This Contents page uses that method for some of it's links - those that are green.
Alternate solutions are with using rollovers like shown in this demo page: Show and Hide Text or using Fancy Zoom shown in the right hand example in this page: FancyZoom You could replace the photo with an image that says Click for Answer" or whatever and have the answer in a jpg file. Both are somewhat low tech solutions.

Linking pages in iweb

Ok, I'm new to iWeb-- I am trying to build a simple web page for my mother. She has a small catering business. I need to be able to make multiple pages and be able to link to them, but I don't want a million links in my above header (which is the only place I know of to get links)
So.
I want to be able to make a page for each category...and have a 'gallery' to be on the header that goes on the top...and then on that gallery page, be able to click on each of the categories. (so I want the clicking to be on the page... not the top)
Is this possible? Does this make sense?

You can certainly do what you describe.
In iWeb you can make any object a hyperlink.
In your scenario make a page called Gallery. Then make a text box (or line of text) with the names of each of your categories.
Then create a page in iWeb for each of your categories.
Then make each name of each category a hyperlink as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iWeb/3.0/en/23561.html and point the hyperlink at the pages you created.

In iWeb, Why should my Google map be linked to MobileMe

I have a Google map on my website.
Now that MobileMe has closed I cannot use Google Maps.
In iWeb, Why should my Google map be linked to MobileMe when I have never joined MobileMe?
Any help please

The Google map widget assets were hosted on MobileMe.
Use the Google Map code in an HTML Snippet instead.
Google has a good tutorial for creating basic maps...

How to create internal links to a particular part of a page in iweb 08

Hello,
Can anyone help me create hyperlinks to a particular part of a page in iWeb 08? I've tried and tried and failed and failed!
Many thanks and best,
Rudy

Jumping in here ... sorry to be dim but I may need an even more rudimentary explanation as I'd really love to have the scrolling functionality on my site.
1. Where exactly do you place the 'HTML Snippet' on your page? Does it matter? Is it only one HTML Snippet or do I have to do one for each internal link I want on the page?
2. Am I just typing a list of Y coordinates here: anchors.push(Y coordinate) ? So if I want the first link on the page to scroll down to 'Y 431 px' then I would replace 'anchors.push(0)' with 'anchors.push(431)' ? And then the next one the next Y coordinate and so on?
Again - apologies for not getting what I'm sure is something very simple but I do appreciate it.
This is the page I'm trying to do it for (with the hyperlinks as I understand I'm supposed to do them and an html snippet on the page ... obviously not functioning correctly): http://www.calderastrategy.com/Site/Services.html
Thanks very much

Inserting MobileMe Videos into IWeb

I have three questions about inserting MobileMe Videos into iweb.
1) I used the "insert from MobileMe" command in iWeb and it allows me to insert a video but I can't change the size of the video. Do you know how I can change the size.
2) I have some movies I have uploaded to the gallery via iMovie and some I uploaded via the mobileme site. The ones via iMovie I can easily insert like I mentioned in Q1 but the others I uploaded are put into an album and iWeb doesn't allow me to select the video I want to insert. It only allows me to insert the whole album which is a small box with links to the album. I want to choose the video to insert into the page. Any ideas How?
3) Is there a way to insert the video from mobileme using the Html Snippet? If so, how?
Thanks
Neil

You can use the [OBJECT/EMBED|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html] code for inserting media in a page.
When you know the location of the movie you can create a path to it.
Your webgallery is in iDisk>Web>Sites>_gallery>100999>Movie.

I need to create a link on a page, while hiding it from the options

I am making a website for my work, which is a glass company. The options at the top to click on will be home, commercial, residential, and contact us. When you click on residential i would like to have links for windows, shower doors, ect. I want to be able to click on windows and it go to another page to show information about them, the same thing with shower doors, ect. but i don't want thoes titles to be at the top of the page. Is this possible.

What you're referring to is a drop down menu. Those can't be created normally in iWeb. They can be added to a iWeb page but require an HTML snippet and javascript. Some possible javascript solutions have been posted in this forum. Search for drop down menu. Also do a Google search for drop down menu to get a number of sites with possible solutions.
Or, you can create a separate Residential page and put photos of windows, shower doors, etc. on it and use them as links to the pages for the windows, shower doors. Those pages don't have to be included in the navbar. You can turn it off in the Inspector/Page/Page pane.

Multiple users password for some pages on iWeb site?

Hi guys,
I've been checking out this topic here on AD, but not really happy with what I found. Is there anybody out here who could help me with a multiple users password html code??? I want a "members only" link on the homepage linked to a page where people have to enter username and password and then go to a special "homepage" where they can click to different PDF files. It doesn't sound that hard, but again, I don't like the html codes I found so far. Hope there is someone out here who knows something nice.
Thanks!!
Marc : )

Marc ~ You may have to +"think different"+ to integrate the following suggestion into your iWeb site, but take a look at: http://drop.io/about
Here's an example: http://drop.io/alancito
...the password there is: guest1
You'll find a downloadable PDF document at the bottom of that page and note that drop.io didn't require an email address, name or personal registration to set up the above “drop”.

Is there a way to password protect a photo page in iWeb?

My website is open to whoever wants to look at it but I do photography work for clients and would like to password protect their photos. Is there anyway I can password protect just my photo gallery page in iWeb? Thanks!

If you publish to a server other than MobileMe you can password protect any directory - either by using Webshell or via the .htaccess. If you use the latter method, the data can be compiled using a generator....
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/
MobileMe users need to create a new site for the protected content. This site can appear to be part of the main one if it is included in a text based navigation as an external hyperlink or by using a snippet code with the default navigation. This was answered by Cyclosaurus in this topic....
