Need to enable HTML snippet in CS5

I need help enabling the HTML snippet in with my CS5 version of contribute. Our website was created by a firm that used CS3. They no longer use this tool or have access to contribute. I am set up as a administrator, but it appears I don't have full administrator rights. How can I gain these if the orginial administrator no longer has access? Please HELP!

1) FTP to your site in the server.
2) Navigate to the cthub****.csi file under _mm folder
3) Edit the file and make the value <allow_html_snippet_insertion value='true' />
This will enable the html snippet option for your site for that particular role.

Need to enable html snippet insertion in CS4

The insert html snippet option is disabled on my insert menu and I need to enable it. Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
The website administrator has to enable the permission for inserting HTML snippet, for your role, for the Insert HTML Snippet menu to be enabled. If you are the website administrator, you can follow these steps to enable the Insert HTML snippet menu item:-
Launch Contribute and select Edit -> Administer Websites, and select your website.
The Administration dialog for your website will be shown.
Select a role (for ex, Administrator), and click Edit Role Settings button.
The Edit Role Settings dialog will be shown.
In this dialog, select Editing from the left panel, and check the check box for 'Allow HTML Snippet Insertion'.
For more information, click the following link http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2009/06/are_you_a_power_user_try_using.html
Hope this helps. Cheers.

Enabling html snippets

Hi, I'm a new Contribute user. My web site was designed by a fellow in England using DreamWeaver, but he's no longer involved in the site design. When I went to insert an html snippet, the feature was greyed out in my command line and the instructions said I needed to have the administrator enable permission to change code. Is there a way to insert new code, like for Google ads or PayPal buttons, without enabling these permissions, since I only have the Contribute and not the DreamWeaver available. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Thanks for asking -- copy and paste works, but I was unable to open the snippet box in the first place! I learned that I was able to make myself the administrator of the site, and then was able to go and enable the html snippet function, which had not been checked. Sincerely, Aaron Elson

Integrating Rafflecopter HTML Snippet

I'm using iWeb to host a contest and need to incorporate the rafflecopter widget for registration and tracking. Whenever I paste the code from Rafflecopter (below), I just get a line of text saying "a rafflecopter giveaway". I'm no expert on HTML, so anyone know how to get the content to display?
<script id="raflin-3ecafd0" type="text/javascript">/*{literal}<![CDATA[*/
    window.RAFLIN = window.RAFLIN || {};
    window.RAFLIN['3ecafd0'] = {id: 'NTNlZTFjN2FhMTcxM2ExYmFiNWZiZDViMmQ2YmQ1OjA='};

Actually, that didn't fix the problem. I would love to learn more about HTML, but I don't have time at the moment. I pasted the following code into the widget as directed and it's still just an empty frame. Ideas?
<div style="width: 440px; height: 440px;">

Html Snippet Code from BandsInTown not working...

I have just installed a list of tour dates using BandsInTown App linked with my
facebook page here
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Anna-Corcoran-Music/173909359323639
And i have selected the box offering the code to embed the dates onto my
website here at www.annacorcoran.com which is:
<script type='text/javascript' src='
http://www.bandsintown.com/javascripts/bit_widget.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>var widget = new BIT.Widget({"artist":"Anna
Corcoran Music","prefix":"fbjs"});widget.insert_events();</script>
But when I paste the code into the html snippet box in iweb just
an empty box with a faint outline appears. Is this to do with needing to adjust the code for
iweb?
HELP!! Why isn't it working?!
Anna

Okay - last question where in the code below Can I change the colour of the text?
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.bandsintown.com/javascripts/bit_widget.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>var widget = new BIT.Widget({"artist":"Anna Corcoran Music","prefix":"fbjs"});widget.insert_events();</script>

How to capture an HTML snippet like dashboard widget?

How do you copy a website html to paste into an iWeb 09 html snippet? Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget? That would be too easy. Do I need some other software for copying the html?

Photog Dog wrote:

Drag your pointer over the embed code so that it is all highlighted in blue. Then do ⌘C to copy it and then paste it into iWeb's HTML Snippet window by doing ⌘V.
Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget?
No — Only the general ⌘C and ⌘V editing commands mentioned above.
Do I need some other software for copying the html?
No.

WEB WIDGET - HTML SNIPPET how to post myspace music in iWeb

i'm making a site for a band. i'm using the *web widget- html snippet* to insert the myspace player from a band. the bands site is http://www.myspace.com/mod39lone.
this is the code i'm putting in :
<embed src="http://lads.myspace.com/music/musicplayer.swf?n=aHR0cDovL211c2ljLm15c3BhY2 UuY29t&t=wz7NYVvdN1sD5sZn5jwqhteIJEBAWtU7cGxSvblOZr59VYuvhFOEuaUs29mG1lCNKsOUiB4 00Vl6iAOogScxHQ==&u=LTE=&a=0&d=MTc4MzA0MTgxXjExODc3NDE1MjU=" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF width="450" height="345" name="mp3player" align=""type="application/x-shockwave-flash" FlashVars="culture=nl-NL"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplay er"> </embed>
when i'm editing iWeb, the player shows up and plays the music and everything is fine! but when i publish the site, it says "Movie not loaded" when you click on it.
the site i'm currently working on is still being worked on, but i made an extra page to show whoever could help me. the link is:
http://web.me.com/henreegee/IamTokyo/Blank.html

That method can be done using iFrame code in an HTML snippet. You need to upload the Family Matters - Computer.m4v file to your server and link to it there via an HTML snippet and iFrame code. An example is in this demo page along with the code: QT movies via iFrame.
There are other ways to add the movie (the full one Family Matters - Computer.m4v.
One is to upload the file to your server and linking to it as shown in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window.
The method you posted is explained in this tutorial: Old Toad's Tutorial #18 - Adding Movie/Video File to iWeb Page via Export for Web in Quicktime Player. To see the edits click on the buttons in steps 5a and 5b.

IWeb, HTML Snippet, and MySQL via GoDaddy (db already built)

I have a site (zigcodes.info) that is hosted by GoDaddy. I built the site using iWeb. No complaints there. I have a MySQL database and table built to store codes added by users. There is also one called "hit list" on another page, but I haven't finished coding it. I need to solve this problem before I can finish that page. So far, I've successfully linked my submit forms to the database. When a user adds a code, it does indeed populate into the database (hooray for small miracles).
Of course, doing this dumps the user onto a blank white page, but I think I can fix that with a redirect at the end of the php file used by the form. My problem comes in when I try to display the codes in the database on my page. I know how to query the db using SELECT * FROM, but I can't figure out what to do with the data after that.
I'm having a heck of a time getting the HTML Snippet widget correct in iWeb. I've seen suggestions that are all over the place, but can't seem to get any to work. I'm told that <iframe> may be a viable solution, but I am at a loss as to how. Honestly, my site is very simple and I don't need fancy functionality. All I need is a list, in table form would be nice but really not necessary, of the 30 names/codes most recently added to the db by users of my site. I can get the echo command to print headers for my data, but not the data itself.
Will <iframe> work, and if so, how? If not, what's my best bet? Should I go with a table in the HTML Snippet widget, with tags like <? echo "$code"; ?> inserted into my<td></td> content? Or, would it be best to use the <script src="activecodes.php"></script> solution with an external php file? Or am I way off on all of these? I do know that iWeb won't do it for me with it's own magic, but it seems like there should still be a way to add code into the HTML Snippet widget and display the db data on the iWeb designed page. Help?

Yeah, the code you suggested isn't live now because I always remove changes to my code that affect no change. It makes for a cleaner build later. Here are some variations of your sugestion that I tried:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
AND
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
</form>
</div>
I even tried this because I saw other people suggesting it in similar forums:
<div align="center"><form name="newcodes" action="newcode.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="newcode"/>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add it!" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.zigcodes.info/" />
</form>
</div>
All of the above produce the exact same, unwanted result: a blank white screen with the URL of my .php file (the one that handles the form post).

Html snippets don't work in iWeb 09.

I've not added an html snippet to my site for a while, but they've worked in the past. Now they look fine when I'm working in iWeb, but when I go to the site after uploading, there's nothing visible. If I select all, I can see the box that should be holding the stuff of the snippet. I've tried reinstalling the preferences file and that didn't do anything.
Here's one page:
http://virtualfieldwork.org/ReaLBlog.html
And another (this one you need to scroll down):
http://virtualfieldwork.org/2011_PD_Application.html
The formatting at the top doesn't match what I did either -- I made a cross through of the May 10 deadline and the updated information in red. So, there's more quirky than the snippets.
I recently upgraded to a brand new MacBook Pro and transfered everything via Firewire from my old MacBook Pro. The same problem was going on on the old computer.
Thanks,
Don

My html snippet has only worked for 2 minutes in three months.

Warning: Long, descriptive story up ahead.
I bought my macbook pro complete with iLife 08 bundle software in January and eventually I became a little bit more advanced so I wanted to try using "html snippets" in iWeb.
That's when I discovered it was not working on my iWeb. (I have the latest version of iWeb 08 possible). Also, this is of less concern but my navigation menu is not displaying either-- meaning on the face of my webpages the individual Page Titles are not displaying "Main", "About Me" when I choose "display navigation menu" option from the inspector-- all I get is a big stupid empty space. And yes, I have all the options check to "display this page in my navigation menu" or some such.
So I drove over to an applestore (which took a whole freaking day of my time) and they opened up software updates in the store. This was around the whole MobileMe thing, so I got that upgrade too. And magically my iWeb's html snippets started working for the first time ever! I almost cried, but let's face it, there are more beautiful and spectacular things in life worth my tears of joy. Anyway, I indeed was really happy because I thought this was going to be the beginning of me being able to html snippet youtube videos directly onto my site and do other such amazing things!
Then today when I got home, I'm back to the same stupid non-working html snippet feature again!!!!
I can describe the html snippet issue a little bit: In my non-working html snippet version, a little transparent box appears when I try and open up html snippets... in this little box I can't type anything. How iWeb should work is that this black box should appear where you can type in your code and then a separate little box below the black one works on displaying what you coded.
One maybe important thing I noticed is that... You know how when you open up iWeb, in the left column by your sites there are/were those blue globe .mac picture? Well, after the MobileMe upgrade in the store (just yesterday actually on the 27th), those blue globes turned into blue squares with white clouds. So I think the conversion from .mac to MobileMe helped fixed my bugs? Because today my html snippets doesn't work again and I'm back to the .mac blue globes. I want those little blue squares with white clouds again if it will fix my issue!!
HELP, please. Thanks!

I would look at several things. I'm assuming it shows fully charged after you charge it and that this is a new iphone and not used. Check your location services under Privacy: Location Services for apps that use your location. If you have apps always checking your location it can use power. Turn off any you don't really need. You can always turn them back on.
Check you wifi settings. Turn off the " Ask to join other Networks". If you are driving down the road it will be looking for other networks to join.
Turn off any apps running in the background that are not needed.
Restart your iPhone after you have done this. Hopefully this will improve your battery usage.

Hyperlink to a Png inside an HTML Snippet will not navigate properly

Hey,
I put this link <a href="http://www.apple.com"><img src="/Users/sniper/Documents/BT/Home_files/baby.png"></a> inside of an Html Snippet. After publishing the site locally and clicking on the image "baby.png", instead of navigating to the apple.com page, the apple.com page is loaded and is displayed in the place where the baby.png is located. It is almost as if it were a frame. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
TG

The code does not work because it is wrong.
What do you want to do - create a link to the Apple site or to an image on your desktop?
If you want to create a link to an image on your desktop, which it looks like this is, then the code you need is
If you want to create a link to the apple website then the code you need to use is <a href="http://www.apple.com"</a>.
Note the closing tags of both - image is and a link is <a href=" "</a>.
Do not try to mix the two, they both do different things and if you want your code to work, then it needs to be correct.

Youtube Video in iWeb "html Snippet" is Blank?

The html Snippet Widget shows an unhappy face icon when I publish the site to the internet in preview form. In iWeb itself the video shows up as a blank box on my site when I load the "embed" text from the Youtube video into the black box window and hit "apply".
Here is the Youtube Embed text if it helps to analyze it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GdC9WLhUum0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I can successfully load the Youtube Widget but I dislike the 4 x 3 format with excessively large top/bottom black bands and control bar. I prefer the 16 x 9 format of the html Snippet, but it needs to function.
Help please.
Dan

Okay, it is simple. The video will not work because there are mistakes in the code that you have posted - if the code is incorrect then it won't work.
Where you have src="//www.youtube.com/embed, the code should in fact be as follows:
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed
I have just opened iWeb on my Mac and copied and pasted the code, but then changing it to http:// and the video works perfectly - comes up with someone in a canoe and is entitled River Discipline.

How to send an html snippet with swf flash under other layers in iWeb?

I like designing websites on iweb but face problems regarding flash.
When i embedd a swf in an HTML snippet...the snippet automatically postions itself at the topmost layer. Even if you send it behind lets say a box or any shape, or a link ..on publishing it , it comes right back up when seen on other browsers like firefox or chrome. But strangely on my mac browser - safari- it works just fine.
Links in a flash swf banner when placed in iWeb (inside an html snippet ) opens other linked pages within the frame of the html snippet itself...and not as a seperate page.
I'm not a programmer so i wouldnt understand complicated stuff... but i knw how to copy paste codes inside a snippet and edit the sizes.
I need help fast?
Thanks in Advance!!

That's how browsers behave.

Use the target attribute : target="_top" or target="_blank" in the <a href> element.

Pasting custom code in a HTML Snippet and make it work is your responsibility. And if you're not a programmer, start learning and become one. Before you know you're the resident technology expert in this forum.

Can't edit HTML snippets

Hello there,
This is around the third time I ask about this issue. I installed Leopard with iLife '08, and later (after I started having the problem) installed iLife '09.
What happens is, when I try to add an HTML snippet, I am presented with a blank box with a white outline, which I cannot alter in any way, save for moving and resizing it. Also, I cannot edit the HTML snippets I added before I had this problem. And finally, the dynamic preview of my blog merely displays the same blank box I described above. This happens in both iWeb '08 and iWeb '09.
The problem arose after I started poking around in folders such as /Library, /System/Library, and /Users/Sean/Library (I'm not exactly sure, as this was around four months ago). The thing is, I opened iWeb again nearly a week after, so I'm not completely certain there is a correlation, although I consider this the most likely culprit.
Please don't tell me to edit or delete .plist files, as this has no effect. Nor does creating a new /Users/Sean/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain work (which, oddly enough, I thought did, but it was after a Leopard reinstall).
I would really appreciate if you speculated on which file I need to restore (try adding an HTML snippet in a working iWeb, while running Activity Monitor, and browsing the files it uses?), and I can restore it using Pacifist (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743) and my Leopard install DVD. By the way, is it safe to do this, now that I have iWeb '09 installed? I would imagine, since upgrading didn't fix the issue, but I can't be certain...
Thank you so much for putting up with this,
SeanDaBomb

Try Troubleshooting 101: delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, repair disk permissions, reboot and try again.
If that doesn't help log into another account on your Mac, open iWeb, create a test site and see if you can use the snippets there as intended. If not then a reinstall of iWeb seems warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If the snippets are able to be used correctly in the other account then there's something in your account that is amiss. Post back with the results.

Iweb wont publish picture borders wont show and mp3 in html snippet wont publish.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum,
I'm following www.iweb for musicians.com website design, Roddy the man is ace.
I'm trying to publish my site with borders and flection on my first page and also a HTML snip box with a code for a mp3.
It all shows up and plays fine in my iweb program but when i publish to a folder then upload using a 3rd party ftp, these additions dont show up.
It's kind of like its maybe not 'saving' correctly in iweb and not publishing correctly?
Any help greatly accepted.
Thanks,
Paul
iWeb 3.0.4

iWeb always publishes correctly.
Since you paste the code in a HTML Snippet it is your responsibilty to make it work correctly.
My guess is that you also need to upload the mp3 file. So check that first.
Or wait for our resident technology ace.
