Problems setting 'allow HTML snippet insertion' in Contribute 4

I am trying to set the administrator option to allow insertion of HTML snippets (as described here). But the dialog box to change the settings does not include an "Allow HTML Snippet Insertion" checkbox.
Any advice? Is this to do with the version of Contribute I'm using? Or is there some other administrator setting I need to set first?

Hi ravster.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had read the Arch NFS HowTo and did as you suggested get rcpinfo for the server machine. The Libranet NFS server is configured rather different since the NFS daemons are built into the default kernel.
Since I needed to complete the transfer immediately, I gave up for now trying to set up NFS and used netcat (!) instead to transfer the files from the Libranet laptop to the Arch workstation. The laptop will be converted to Arch Linux soon so I think I'll be able to clear things up soon. I haven't had any problems setting up NFS with homogeneous (i.e., all Arch or all Libranet) computer combinations.
Thanks again.

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.

Posterous blog HTML Snippet problem - not all of blog is showing up...

Good morning all! So I was looking for a solution for our newly formed website (I'm a novice) where I could have multiple users update our blog page without having to use iWeb to do it. I read up on Posterous and it appears this would be an ideal solution. So I found some code from another Apple Discussions poster, Alancito, that would pull my Posterous blog directly into the iWeb page I created. Well it has done that, sort of...
I see the header from the blog, but the content isn't visable. Well, actually if you highlight the header or "blog differently" and then hold down like you're scrolling down the page, the info is there. But the HTML snippet always cuts it off. Even if I expand the size of the snippet in iWeb, it ALWAYS reverts back to this same size.
I'm in a bind here and could really use some help.
Here's the blog page address: http://www.sporkfoodwagon.com/SporkFoodWagon/Blog.html
And here's the code I was provided.
<iframe height="100%" allow transparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%;border=none" src="http://sporkfoodwagon.posterous.com/"></iframe>

Andrew ~ Perhaps someone will suggest a solution to the HTML Snippet problem, but meanwhile, with this recent improvement to Posterous:
http://blog.posterous.com/posterous-unveils-pages
...perhaps you don't need an iWeb site at all. If you must have one, consider linking to your Posterous blog directly from iWeb's navigation bar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
And to return from Posterous back to your iWeb site:

Problem with html snippet

I have been using iWeb for a long time now, it's been fine up until recently. Everytime I try to add HTML Snippet to my site, it inserts the box on to my webpage, but fails to load in the edit box where you can paste your HTML in.
How would I rectify this?

HTML Snippet Resizing Box Problem

Hey guys, hope someone can shed some light on this incredibly irritating issue that i've been struggling with for ages.
I've got a javascript for generating a random quote out of a preset list (10) into a HTML snippet box on my site.
The problem that I can't cure is that each quote, depending on its length makes the html box resize around it, so it sometimes covers some of the existing text.
What I want is for the generated text to fit itself into whatever box size I choose.
Any ideas??
<CENTER>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">  </SCRIPT> </CENTER>

Hiya Old Toad, thanks for the reply.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, things just keep coming up!
Ok so ,if I try to resize the box, it goes widthways rather than lengthways and therefore covers all the text next to it.
If I add the
tags, it just breaks it completely and nothing shows up.
Also looks like I copied the wrong script when I posted here originally, I had it in a notepad file but I must have opened the wrong one, sorry!
Attached is the actual script from the site,
Thanks again for all your help!
<center>
<resizeable=false>
<script language="JavaScript">
var howMany = 6
var quote = new Array(howMany+1)
quote[0]="'The teacher motivates children in a fun way'"
quote[1]="'Very friendly, fun and hard working class - with an excellent teacher'"
quote[2]="'It's a good way to keep all ages off the streets and meeting new people in a friendly environment'"
quote[3]="'The class is good, giving kids a fun and enjoyable time. The teacher is funny and, also has a good way of handling the class'"
quote[4]="'The class teaches good discipline whilst still having fun'"
quote[5]="'Discipline, respect, enjoyment and fun. All key factors put across by a very good teacher'"
quote[6]="'The class teacher is good and disciplined. It has taught my child to come out of her shell'"
quote[7]="'The class makes learning fun whilst still teaching the students the important lessons needed to progress'"
function rndnumber(){
var randscript = -1
while (randscript < 0 || randscript > howMany || isNaN(randscript)){
randscript = parseInt(Math.random()*(howMany+1))
return randscript
quo = rndnumber()
quox = quote[quo]
document.write(quox)
// End -->
</script>
Gah that last "quo" is meant to have [ 's around it but they dissapear for some reason on here.

Inserting HTML snippet in signature

Any easy way to include a countdown timer snippet in a signature block?

I have questions that you can perhaps answer regarding website building.
I've designed the Axleart website in iWeb which is Apple's easy to use but hard to customize program.
http://www.axleart.com
IWeb uses java-script based photo albums which are nice to navigate through but hard to customize.
What I want is to add a html snippet (which creates a Paypal or other shopping cart button) in the caption of each photo in the album.
iWeb doesn't allow me to edit the html or Javascript directly but I can publish the site to a local folder, then edit it there, then upload it from there through ftp to my server.
I use a program called iWeb SEO Tool to add title tags and keywords and meta tags and google analytics code. It reads from the local folder then adds the info then uploads to the server.
Each time i re-edit the site in iWeb, iWeb erases all those tags and stuff (I think). Each time I open it in iWeb SEO Tool, it reapplies all the tags and stuff that I have saved in that program.
This page shows how Cyclosauraus has added paypal buttons to a photo album:
http://www.cyclosaurus.com/iWeb3Widgets/PayPalBeGone/Photos.html
So before I try to edit the Javascript per Cyclosaurus' suggerstion, I have an important question:
If I add paypal buttons into the captions for the photos in the albums, will they get erased each time I re-edit in iWeb and make it too time consuming to be worthwhile? Is there a workaround for this like what iWeb SEO Tool does?

TextField set to HTML, Scrollbar problem

Hi,
I have a chat box called 'chatbox' which needs to display
lines in different colors. I've set 'render as HTML' and called the
var property 'chat_html'. It displays things fine when I add lines
with, for example, 'chat_html += "<font color =
'#ff0000'>TEXT</font>'.
The only problem is the vertical scrollbar doesn't update.
I've noticed I can make it update by using 'chatbox.text += "" each
time I add a html line, but this seems to set the colors to all one
color, namely, 'chatbox's default color.
Any help on this? How do I update the scrollbar without
losing the different colors?
Thanks - Gary.

In the old way of things - what did change?
Look at the WebAccess on the HTTP view - how long does it say that it
has been up?
rpm -qa novell-group What version
What does the POA report?
If this has all got squirrely rcgrpwise stop, rcapache2 stop and
rctomcat5 stop (then restart them again in reverse order)

Inserting html snippets for paypal buttons into templates

I can insert html snippets(for pay pal buttons) into an iweb page that I've created but if I go to the slide shows and try to add a button to those it puts the buttons on ALL the slides. Any remedy as I'd like to use the photo templates AND pay pal buttons.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Cyclosaurus posts some code to add items to the gallery page of a slideshow. I believe the post in in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8426989#8426989

HTML snippet height problem in all browsers but Safari

hi i'm trying to embed Vimeo in my webpage using HTML snippet. i thought it was working fine until i found out that in other browsers than Safari the movie is cut off at about 120 pixels..
i did some testing and now i find that whatever HTML code i try to publish using HTML snippet looks
cut off ! no matter what the height settings are, and believe me i tried everything, and all sorts of code..
this is such a mayor bug, i cant understand why i cant find other people with this issue??
using IWEB 09 last version..
please have a look at this:
http://www.geertmul.nl/Geert_Mul/LibraryOfBabel.html
with both Safari and Firefox.
see what i mean..??
thanx for a reply !

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've experienced something similar. Here's how I fixed it. After using the apply button I clicked and dragged the snippet lower border down a long way. Don't worry if it overlaps other items. After dragging DONOT hit the apply button again. Just do a Publish Site Changes and try the page in Firefox again. Be sure to clear the browser's cache so you don't view the previous version of the page.
NOTE: you might change the caption lines from 2 to 3 in your album pages as a couple of the albums are requiring a 3rd line and it's partially cut off. Also the image for the Split Representation Prints album is giving an error. The link works but the album doesn't have a photo in it.

Problems with drop down menu in html snippet

Hi all,
I am trying to use a form with a drop down menu so the user can jump directly to the corresponding page. I am using the code generated by http://javascript.internet.com/generators/drop-down-menu.html, and it works correctly when I test it in the "Show me the drop down menu" option on their page.
This is the html code:


<BODY>




<form name="jump">
<select name="menu" onChange="location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex] .value;" value="GO">
<option value="">select genre</option>
<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/blues_rock.html">blues/rock</option>
<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/cinematic.html">cinematic</option>
<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/country.html">country</option>
<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/electronic.html">electronic</option>
<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/experimental.html">experimental/new age</option>

<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/urban.html">urban</option>
<option value="http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/world.html">world</option>
</select>
</form>
When I paste this code into an html snippet in iWeb, my page does not work correctly after publishing to a folder. The jump to location doesn't open its corresponding page. Instead, it defaults to the same page that has the drop down menu, only the menu doesn't appear any more. Instead, I get a "hole" where the drop down menu used to be.
This is my URL: http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/jingles.html
I examined the code of the page with the html snippet generated by iWeb, and to my surprise I couldn't even find the html code of the form with the drop down menu. Where is it?
Please help!

JSYK,
You didn't actually give PressWeb the green star by marking his post as the post that solved your question. You merely marked the question as answered but never actually marked PressWeb's post as being the post that answered your question, which will in effect reward PressWeb with the green star as seen by a green star appearing in the header for his post. I only mention this because you have incorrectly mentioned rewarding PressWeb with a green star.
Hope that helps.

Problem Creating an Image Link within an html snippet?

Hi,
For some reason I have been unable to link to an image on my Mac by using <img src within an html snippet.
I have uploaded the photo to my server and created a link with <img src "http://www.domain.com/image.jpg" />.
However, when I try linking to the image like this - <img src "Users:Documents:Photos:image.jpg" />, when I click apply on the html snippet all I get is a blue dot with a question mark and I have checked that the image is in my Documents and then Photos folder and it is. When I link to it with the server the photo shows.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
I would appreciate some help, as I have tried various combinations to link and nothing seems to be working except linking directly from my server and I don't really want to do this at the moment.
Thanks

Thanks for that and I did use correct syntax in the html snippet - it was a typo here.
I did as you suggested and dragged the photo into the Safari browser, after placing the photo on the desktop and it gave me the file name and that showed as file:///Users/My username/Desktop/Image.jpg, so I tried this in my html snippet and did it as so:
It is still not working for some reason and when I click apply, the photo shows up as a blue square with a question mark in it, although I know the photo is there.
Why is this? I followed the path, yet when I link to the photo on the server with it works perfectly everytime.
Thanks

HTML Snippet does not exist as a Widget option in iWeb 09

I have iWeb 09 on my machine. I'm trying to insert an HTML Snippet onto a page so i can drop in the code for a XSPF player.
When i choose "Show Media", under Widgets there are only four, and HTML Snippet isn't one of them. I only have:
MobileMe Gallery
Google AdSense
iSight Photo
iSight Movie
I also don't have the YouTube widget, the Google Map Widget--these i only know about by looking in support and seeing that these should all be there.
Any thoughts as to how i can get HTML Snippet available in my media widgets? My site is almost completed and ready to publish. Without this feature it will be pointless to publish at all.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Peter

Can you post the code you are using so that we can see what the problem is?

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).

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.
