Muse failing dropping pages when published

I have noticed that Muse is failing to publish all pages in my site. I had to call BC support thinking it was there end because the web pages was not available on the server when I checked my pages. All my setting was intact and accurate, I checked these pages to be exported from the site plan. I had to use ftp client to publish the missing pages.

Did you try selecting "All Files" in the "Options" panel of the "Publish" dialog?
If any manual changes are made to the files/folders published via the Muse Publish feature, Muse will be unaware of those changes. If you use an FTP client application to alter files hosted on BC, there's a good chance you'll need to select "All Files" in the Muse "Publish" dialog "Options" section in order to get Muse back in sync with what's on the published site.

IWeb movie pages, when published -- no movies

my iWeb movie pages, when published, came up lame, no movies, only areas where the movies should have been, all with faint Q's with question marks inside them
LONG STORY SHORT, MAKE SURE YOUR MOVIES (as well as being located in your MAC HD and its proper MOVIE sidebar, that you CUT AND PASTE all your MEDIA YOU'RE USING IN YOUR iWeb SITE,
CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS, MOVIES in dupe form right into your desktop where you've published your iWEB site folder.......that way, any browser, a .mac or outside web host, can locate your media better so that you don't get GHOST MEDIA PUBLISHING LIKE I DID...hopefully this will help both of us
ALSO, in any iWeb website (named SITE in your desktop, or iDisc, or whatever or wherever you publish it, or even if you can find where on earth on your HD it is published, remember, if you have any MEDIA at all, NOTE IN MY CASE MEDIA MEANS MOVIES (not photos, so I'm not speaking to the photo blogs people, only iWeb MOVIE folks) anyway, all the compressed poetry video clips are right there, in a separate folder called MEDIA, that is every iWeb site, when published to .mac or a folder, which contains movies in .mp4 format or .mov format, all these will appear right in your site's MEDIA FOLDER....
this is important as a concept....
also, if you're using an outside web host like me (so that all my movies will LOAD QUICKLY), don't forget when FTP'ing (file transfer protocol'ing) your iWeb changes to your web host from your original MAC HD folder....remember to also send to the FTP/outside web host your MEDIA folder inside your SITE
(which i only realized a couple hours ago, and which totally was a revelation, so i'm passing it along to you guys)....
if you'd like to know exactly what i do here in nyc, i video the poetry scene, now for 20 years, and create educational poetry DVDs.... and my website is today's equivalant of operating a virtual business.....
....oh-oh, since I video poetry in NYC and go direct into a standalone DVD recorder to make single tracks of each poem...and then through Popcorn's mp4 program, I can make a movie file
then..through QuickTime Pro's streaming compression system, reduce that file size to under 5 MBs,
well, after lots of headaches, i am able to have 200 streaming video clips on an iWeb site, which apple itself said was impossible, that iWeb was only geared for less ambitious projects
okay, so that is cool..until yesterday, when i began the whole process again with completely new poetry video clips....
first, the iWeb pages were designed correctly...that took time....then i published the new pages to .mac, and only some of the movies showed up on the published pages, some had a big bright Q (which means the browser identifies the movie and will within 20 seconds load that movie), but what wracked my brain all day and night yesterday, why were there areas where the browser only showed the faint Q/Question mark inside (meaning the browser cannot find the movie)
so what the.....!
also i'm going from an iWed Folder to an FTP so I can use an outside web host and bypass THE MUCH SLOWER .mac browser (too slow when using movie clips for visitor to your site having to wait valuable seconds for **** movie to appear...with outside web host process almost immediate)
.....any similar experiences?

I am having the same problem.
Now I am using iWeb 2.03. So when I uploaded the site to my server I see the Media folder you were talking about, and the videos are there. But when I go to the website I still get the faint Q with the question mark.
Here is my site. http://mnorland.dadeschools.net
The videos are supposed to be in the Athletics page, then go to football highlights.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why does Muse upload many pages when I only have Modified Files option selected?

In Muse, when I use the "Upload to FTP Host" option (my preferred update method), Muse will load 37 pages (I have almost 70) even though I have made no changes whatsoever.
I have read and implemented options suggested on this forum including this:

Hi Ellen,
It looks like your muse_manifest.xml file is corrupt. Please login to your BC site's admin, go to Site Manager > File manager and delete the muse_manifest.xml file. Publish the site again from Muse and select to publish all the files. Next time when you will publish the modified files only, it will work.
Cheers!
Aish
I deleted the muse_manifest.xml file and selected the Upload to FTP Host option selecting the option "All Files". Afterward there was no change.
This is what happens:
I edit pages and select the Upload to FTP Host option. I have "Only Modified Pages" selected. I have made changes to three or four pages. Muse uploads 37 pages. I made no changes to a master page. The update said it was successful. I click OK. I go to my site and pages are loaded properly.
The very next thing I do is try another update and it loads 37 pages, although I have made absolutely zero changes. Not to a master, not to any page. The last thing I clicked in Muse was OK when it said the update was successful. I do it again after changing nothing and 37 pages load. It is not loading every page. Just 37 (sometimes less, sometimes more).
I do not have any alerts showing on my assets panel that Muse might be confused by.
My Muse file is 55.4 MB (sizable, but nowhere near what others are dealing with.)
Can you help me?

Okay, I emailed the link to my dropbox awhile back but continued to work on the problem on my own as I did not hear back. Maybe you never saw the email, who knows?
Anyhow, I discovered that it was custom buttons that I had created in Photoshop, with layers. They worked just fine in Muse in all four states, they worked just fine when published. They were added to my library but on every page that they were placed, that page loaded every time. I checked and rechecked the links. I added them to the library for each page they were on. No dice. They still required that page be loaded every time
It was definitely not worth the hassle so I deleted every one from my site and the site loads only modified pages perfectly now.
Maybe some day I will dig deeper into why they did not work but not today.
I hope that this helps someone.

Muse moving around objects when published or previewed

This has been driving me completely nuts. I've seen plenty of posts on here about it but no real answers! I also spent hours in a chat room with a Muse specialist who had virtually nothing to say to help me with this issue. Muse continues to jumble up my pages when I publish them. Boxes move, spacing gets screwed up; I can't take it anymore! I've emailed Muse support twice but no reply. I also messaged a rep. on here, also no reply.
Here are a couple of screenshots to show you whats going on:

It appears you resolved the issue? Or is there a layout problem I'm not noticing?
The most common cause of layout differences is the differences in text layout engines and fonts between browsers, browser versions and devices.
The exact height text frames are drawn in Muse Design view relative to the height of the actual text within the frame is important. Exactly how (and whether) objects overlap or fully contain one another in Muse Design view is important. Finally, how items are grouped in Muse Design view impacts how the HTML is generated and can be a tool to control how your pages respond to differences in layout between browsers and devices.
Given your specific visual design, a few recommendations will reduce the likelihood of variation:
1) Be sure text frames are drawn taller than the text they contain, so that no dotted line appears within the text frames (which is an indicator of the minimum height for the text frame being set). If a minimum height line appears, then if the text is slightly shorter when laid out in the browser that will result in the text frame shrinking in height and things below moving up and/or things that contain it also shrinking in height.
2) Use grouping to create horizontal bands for your image buttons. Grouping in this way will cause any fluctuation in the height or position of objects entirely above the grouped band to move the entire band up or down. Without such grouping Muse is biased toward creating columns such that something above changing height only impacts the position of items (roughly) directly below.
3) Be sure heading text frames don't overlap your buttons. If they do, they may either not shift in vertical position when content above shifts or they may shift position without also shifting the items below them.
None of the above is really specific to Muse. When working on the web the text is live and how it lays out will vary from browser to browser. The structure of the generated (or hand coded) HTML needs to be informed as to how you want things to react when those variations occur. Muse does its best to automatically do the right thing, but can't in every situation and only does as well as the information in the layout provided. If there are unintentional overlaps or minimum text frame heights set, the layout is more likely to not respond as expected/desired when layout variations occur.

Muse buttons appear garbled when published to BC. Files look fine when exported to html.

See attached. BC publishing can not be trusted. This has happened several times.

Why does this forum miniaturize attached images so you can't see the detail? See attached enlargement. This only appears when published to BC. Ok when exported to html. Can't trust BC

WHY does Muse upload every page when I only change one thing. And how can I make Muse faster.

I have a bunch of sites I do for people that are similar. Here's one: www.mattfelis.com.
When I make a single change on one page, just a text change (the last time I deleted a freakin' period) and tell Muse to Upload it to FTP host, it uploads every single page in the site. Every one. And since there are 55 pages, that means it takes about 20 minutes with a darned fast upload speed (20MBPS upload). It isn't the uploading that kills me, it's the Exporting of pages. All of them. All 55. Why is it doing this?
And while we are talking about speed, most of the time in working with these files I see what I call the beach ball of death on a constant basis. Just opening a page from Plan Mode or going back to Plan Mode from a page can take 20 seconds. I know, I've counted. Copy and paste between pages can take longer. I am running a 3 year old Mac Pro with 12 gigs of RAM and tons of disk space. How can I make Muse work better. More RAM? To speed it up I find that I have to quit about every 30 minutes and restart Muse to get it back to any semblance of speed. Smaller sites obviously don't do this but big ones (I have a lot of those) do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a bug we've become aware of and fixed for the next major release where use of one or more objects on a master page that have different states that require output as separate background images can result in that master page and all pages where that master page is used always being considered out-of-date and in need of re-export and upload.
Unfortunately, there's no workaround short of removing such items from your master page(s).

Strangeness on iWeb Pages When Published

I have multiple pages in iWeb that are all the same look but different text content. All the menus are the same. The colors are the same. I will only be changing text and the page name. So, I create the page the way I want and then duplicate the pages. I publish it to make sure all the links work but to my amazement, some of the page look right but many of the pages are different. I should add that I am not using the built in navigation menus--I created my own using text block with hyperlinks because I needed them to look a certain way. The menus are distorted (stretched, size reduced, position shifted), some of the menus (text blocks with hyperlinks) have switched locations/order, the body regions (with graduated fill) are shifted down or even non-existent. I have a set of links in a text block (paragraph is a link) and the text formatting is also changed in different ways on each page (spacing is off, colors are different, link underlining could be on or off).
These are just one page duplicated and the page names changed with all the hyperlinks added.
I did notice that early on in my development, some page names also caused similar problems. If I named a page "About Us", I had similar problems but "About Me" worked, as did "ABOUT US". On some of the pages, the order of stacking (Send to back, Send to front) changed to menus in different ways. I know this sounds strange but this is my experience yesterday/today. I am so confused
Latest version if iWeb, latest Mac OS X Snow Leopard updates, 27" iMac i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, lots of hard drive space

Yes, you must use only the basic characters for site and page names. The following gives some info on page naming and characters not to use.
Renaming a website or webpage
You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
http://web.mac.com/your account name/
or
http://web.me.com/your account name/
Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
iWeb now converts spaces in site names to "_". Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters that aren't recommended for use in website names are: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and single and double quotation marks (' "). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.

Hey, why do Muse buttons appear garbled when published to Business Catalyst?

Buttons look fine when exported to html and uploaded to normal web server. So what's going on with BC. Also sometimes BC delays new files, or fails to render new files. See attached screen print.

It appears the size of the image generated by Muse for the top, middle and bottom slices of the rounded corner bevel image is slightly too wide for the button and thus it wraps around by a couple pixels.
Aishvarya, can you check in the BC backend to see what width these three PNG images are on the BC servers?

http://httpwwwtalentsearchbgwcom.businesscatalyst.com/images/u14209-sprite.png
The images being served are all 1521 pixels wide, but they should be 1515 pixels wide. It's unclear whether BC is serving an older cached version of the images or whether Muse generated and uploaded images of the wrong width. Thanks.

Error creating files. Compilation failed... when publishing iOS app with AIR 3.1 and Flash 11.5.1

Hello, I'm running Windows 7. I'm using Flash 11.5.1 (that's CS5.5 updated once) and AIR 3.1 to make an iPhone app.
I can export the app perfectly fine with either Ctrl+Enter or F12.
I added all the required things with AIR for iOS settings, such as a p12 certificate and icon files.
I then hit publish. After I hit publish, I got this error:
Error creating files.
Compilation failed...
I tried dragging the window to see if there was anything hidden behind the elipses. What can I do to fix this problem?

note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."
I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.
Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?
I honestly don't know if the JRE has anything to do with it... I'm using 1.7 ....to see what JRE you're using, open the Java Control Panel (I right click my java orange icon and hit properties), select the Java tab, then hit "View..."

Can you link URLs within pages when publishing a magazine using PDF file and the script create_indd.jsx?

This magazine is just a simple PDF replica of our print magazine but I want to the URLs linked when I am viewing it on the iPad and Android devices. Is this possible?

So I just checked. All that script does is place PDFs into InDesign files. InDesign treats PDFs as static artwork so my answer stands.
You’ll have to open the individual InDesign files and add the hyperlinks.

How can I centre the page when publishing?

Hello,
How can I avoid a big gap on top during preview the site? Or how can I centre the entire page to the screen precisely?
Thanks.

Make sure your Top padding is set to '0' in your site properties dialogue box. (File/Site Properties)
Also make sure the check mark is on to Center your site horizontally.

Report works fine in VS2010 but simply doesn't show when published

Problem:
Crystal Report works fine in VS 2010 but doesn't show when published to web-server, there is no error, it simply doesn't show.
Background:
Installed VS2010 on a freshly installed and fully updated (.net 4.0 is included in the updates) windows server 2003 box with production release Crystal Report 2010. Nothing else is on the server. IIS 6 is running. My web-server and VS2010 is on the same box.
I went ahead and created a new asp.net 4.0 web project called webapplication1. Thereafter, i put a few controls (text-boxes, list-boxes and so on) on the default.aspx page. Then i created a report.aspx page. This page will have the crystal report viewer on it. I went ahead and set the report up without much hassle (got how-to's from the internet). I successfully tested my web app with the built-in testing server, the beautiful crystal report presented exactly what i asked it to. There was one recurring "Sys.Application is null or not an object" hiccup that occured every time during testing when i navigated from the default.aspx page to the report.aspx page (the page the report is on). Clicking ignore or continue on the dialogue box that comes up because of the hiccup will allow testing to continue. Here's a screen-shot of this recurring hiccup.
http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Testing-Error.jpg
As i've shown, testing went great, except for the hiccup. I now moved to setup a publish profile. Since my web-server and VS2010 is on the same box this seemed relatively straight forward. All the files went over except the report, i.e. crystalreport1.rpt file. I solved this by setting the build action to 'Content' in the CrystalReport1.rpt properties. I did a republish. Now i have all my files, see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Application-Home-Directory.jpg], on the web-server.
I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network. This was successful until i tried to navigate to the report.aspx page that the crystal report is on. The the report.aspx page loaded but the crystal report was simply not on it. No errors, not even the hiccup from testing occured. Its as if the crystal report viewer was never on the page to begin with. Only when i right clicked on the page and 'view source' did i see some remnants of the crystal report viewer.
Here is the Report.aspx page when tested in VS2010:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg]
Here is the Report.aspx page when published to the web-server and browsed to from another computer on the network:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg]
Details of adding report to my web app:
1) Populate my dataset then write the XML schema, reportschema.xml
2) Added the crystal Report to the project then used the wizard to navigate to the reportschema.xml. Of course i had to create new connection in Database expert. see screen-shot:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg]
3) I formatted the report the way i wanted it
4) Added the Crystal report viewer on the Report.aspx page
5) In the code-behind of the Report.aspx page i bound the viewer to a report document that is loaded with CrystalReport1.rpt file
see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Report-Page-Code-behind.jpg]
That's it. As mentioned, it tested fine in VS2010 but the viewer doesn't show when i publish to the webserver. I wrote a crystal report in .net about 8 years ago. Things have changed soooo much since then.
I am wondering if its a license issue? Was also wondering if it had anything to do the testing hiccup, even though research is suggestion the two are unrelated.
I've described my actions as best as i could (without getting into ridiculous detail) and have included screen-shots of relevant stages of the process. Have a look and tell me your thoughts. Thanks.

The "Sys.Application is null or not an object" issue is known, submitted for a resolution and documented in KB #1528503. Unfortunately the KB search has been down the last couple of days...
However, the issue is limited to compile time and does not affect a completed application.
Re. the viewer missing. Sounds like the viewer directory did not get created or configure correctly. Before I get to that. You mention:
"I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network."
This bring up the question: If you run the app right on the app server. e.g.; not a client computer, does the viewer and report come up? Is this issue isolated to client computers on the network?
I suspect that the issue exists irrespective of which computer you try to see the report from - but that is an assumption. If the assumption is correct, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a] article on configuring the viewer. The article does not have CR4VS2010 documented, but you should be able to guide your self using the article. I think the pattern will be obvious.

Problem not being able to click on photo album in nav bar when published

Still a newbie I am trying to make an iweb site. Everything has gone well and after a week of playing around with it at nights this is my site: www.tinybulls.com. Nothing fancy but hopefully it will work for me.
Everything is functioning well, I think (fingers crossed), except that the photo album button in the navigation bar is not clickable and i cannot get into that page when published. I use Safari if that info helps.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!

You created image files for each link and linked the box. A quick test would be do delete the current linked object and recreate it.
If you link the text rather than the text box or object you can format the text's rollover and visited color. Also having text based links are more search engine friendly.
