Using forums with IWEB

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if forums are compatible with iweb. I want to create my own forums. If so what is recommended in making a forum.
thank you

Here is mine
http://web.mac.com/kenan1085/KennosWebpage/Welcome.html
I still have a great deal of work to do compared to all your wonderful pages that I have looked at.
I intend to later do some cool adjustment as I learn more.
Comments would be really nice too !!

Examples of using phpbb forum with iWeb site?

I'm in the process of converting my site to iWeb using a non .mac host and I'd love to see some examples of anyone using a phpbb forum with their site.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mireille,
I know that iWeb won't support the forum per say but I should be able just have that specific page of my site point to the forum (not using iweb). I was just curious if anyone has done this and if they had any advice. Hopefully someday iweb will support forums as its a large part of sites like mine. I remember reading about the iframe so I'll look into that too. Thanks!

Using Aperture with iWeb

Just installed 1.5 and updated all the previews. But I have tried to use 1.5 with iWeb (I run a blog using iWeb) but without much success. All the photos that iWeb displays are the Masters and not the versions that I worked on and want to export.
Also, my impression from the quicktime movie on 1.5's new features suggest that I can drag and drop directly from within Aperture into an iLife or iWork application. Has anyone been able to do this?
Conrad

All my Aperture's images are accesible from iWeb in Media/Photos/Aperture.
The images there are the versions I worked on, not the masters. If you have few images in a stack only the pick will be displayed, so make sure you don't have the untouched master selected as the pick in a stack.

Can I set up a forum with iweb?

I'm looking to set up a forum as part of a college project and I was wondering if it is possible to do this with iweb10.
If it isn't does anyone know a free software that I can use?

Okay, firstly you have posted this is the wrong forum - this forum is for questions regarding iWeb 06 so you need to post this in the iWeb 09 forum. Also, please note that iWeb 10 does not exist. There is iWeb 09 and iLife has just been updated to iLife 11.
No, you cannot use a forum directly in iWeb itself. If you use an external server to publish to somewhere like GoDaddy, then they have forums that you can install on their servers such as PHBB. You set this up and then you can create a link to it from your iWeb site or insert the forum into your site as an iframe.
For free forums just do a Google search.

How do I use webfonts with iWeb?

I have purchased some webfonts from MyFonts and followed their instructions, adding an HTML snippet with the required code.
When I view the site on a computer without the fonts installed it replaces the fonts with standard serif and non-serif fonts.
The webfonts are available on the root level of the server along with the provided CSS file that uses them. The HTML code
refers each page to this CSS file.
Can anyone help?

Is there anyway I can use iWeb to publish a simple good-old-fashioned html document?
No. The whole purpose of iWeb is to enable people who don't know how to do what you did to publish websites anyway. All you need to do to "publish" your site is to put it on a server, either on .Mac via drag/drop or on something else via ftp.

Using Flux with iWeb Websites

I don't have Flux but have been considering it to replace iWeb. Can anyone answere these questions?
Can I use iWeb and Flux together? For instance, If I publish an iWeb website to a folder and then import it into Flux, do some editing and then publish from Flux to another folder, will the website still work as before?
Will scripts that get overwritten when published from iWeb be preserved when re-published from Flux?
Bill

Old Toad and Roddy: Thanks for the information.
To bad you can't go back and forth. I need to give you a little background before I can ask my next question.
I've been using iWeb since it was released and like it's ease of use; I don't really want to get into code editing. I've been publishing to a local folder and then uploading with CyberDuck. I found that was a much faster process than letting iWeb publish to iDisk. I also have gotten familiar enough with html and java script to be able to paste scripts (like Google Analytics) in after publishing (I've been using Taco HTML edit because I like being able to store and manage the Clips).
I'm doing the same thing now that I've moved to my own domain on HostGator, except that now I upload with Filezilla. I can continue with this workflow but I'm a little worried about the future of iWeb and so am looking for a replacement. I realize that iWeb will continue to work and I have time to make the decision.
I'm hoping the replacement won't overwrite embeded scripts, like iWeb does, so that I can eliminate that part of the workflow and save a lot of time.
Just reading about Flux sounds like I could build the major parts of the website using the WYSIWG features but continue putting in the code that I know how to do now. Then as I got more familiar with Flux I could get more into coding if I chose to, but I wouldn't really need to if I didn't want to.
Roddy you say Flux is not the best choice. What do you recommend as better choices given what I want to do?
Old Toad do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for your help. I appreciate your guidance.

Anyone Using iWebsites with iWeb 08?

I used it in the past to create new galleries outside of iWeb, then open them into iWeb to work on individual websites. Is that still possible?

Ha. Sometimes it is! No going back, without a backup of Domain.sites. iWeb08 will convert the file to Domain.sites2, which cannot be opened with iWeb06. If stuff is missing from your site in 08, and you decide to reinstall iWeb06, you will have to recreate your sites if you do not have copies of those Domain.sites files.
Much anguish has been expressed here on the subject...

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

Publishing Third Party Generated Pages with iWeb to .Mac

I'm considering using KavaTunes to publish my iTunes library. Looks like a great app. But, I'm a little confused. I'm using iWeb to publish my site to .Mac now. How do I use KavaTunes with iWeb. I can use iWeb to publish to a folder. But, Apple doesn't give instructions for how to publish out to an iWeb created site on .Mac using FTP.
I find this to be an issue with any third party app that generates web pages with images, etc. How do I get those loaded up to my .Mac site generated with iWeb?
Thanks,
Brian

dotMac doesn't use FTP.
You create your 3rd party pages and copy them to iDisk>Web>Sites folder.
Put them in a folder of their own. In iWeb create a link to these pages.
KavaTunes no doubt has a Help file that tells you how to publish pages. Start learning to use the program and stay away from iWeb for a while. No need to double the problems.
BTW, you need PHP on the server side. dotMac has no PHP.
More info here: http://www.kavasoft.com/KavaTunes/

Simple explanation of what is happening with iWeb and Mobile Me. Can anyone explain this simply and if our existing web site can be hosted elsewhere, if so can it still be updated using iWeb. Any advice very welcome

We have a website that has run successfully using iWeb and Mobile me. We understand Mobile Me is being discontinued from June. From this forum it seems iWeb also is not being supported any more. So can the existing site be hosted successfully with another provider or is it best to start again. If so any advice on options would be very welcome;
Thanks
PB

For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.
Here's a link to who I use for Hosting:

Using audio in iweb with no image

i'm designing my new website with iweb, basically to promote myself and my music
i plan on having a portfolio section, where people can listen to tracks and watch movies ive made. by dragging in movies from the media bar it comes out nicely, with the movie and a bar across the bottom for play, pause, etc.
but, when i do the same with audio, it has a big screen with 'please drag image here' or something. how do i get rid of this? i just want the bar with play, pause etc and nothing else to play the track.
can anyone help?
thanks alot

Ashley:
That "please drag image here" will not show if you don't put an image in it. Section B of this demo page shows what it looks like in iWeb and after publishing. So position the object so the control bar is where you want it and publish.
You might look at Roddy McCay's site for a way to show your music. He uses a flash player and it's pretty slick. His Jukebox page uses a flash jukebox. He's made many posts in this forum on where and how to set one up. Definitely worth a look at since the flash is quicker to load than a page of many audio tracks. Just search the iWeb site for Roddy's posts.

Can I Design a Forum with using web dynpro for java?

Hi All:

I want to design an application like a simple forum which maybe has many replies.So if i use
the UI technology "web dynpro for java", i will to create UI elements dynamically.How can i control this

Hi,
yes you can do that....
for exaple if you observe SDN...
you can imagine like....
A big Transparent Container(TC)....
Inside that number of other TCs(depending upon the question nd its replies...)....
In side each TC, again around 9 UIElements....
one for menioning what is the question/reply?
other for your description of question/reply...
other for your name,
displaing your fourm point... etc...
So it will be
for(loop till your (Question+No of replies))
Create Transparent Container....
Add Childs to the Container...
Decide your layout....
In case if you want to know how to create UIElements dynamically....

Is there a way for people to sign into a forum with the same email they used elsewhere on the site?

Right now, our site has to have a separate login for the forum that was built using the forum module. This poses a problem since users who sign up through other web forms that do not have username or password fields may try to sign in to the forum and then try to reset a password that does not exist. It also poses a problem in that people who are already in the CRM because they signed up using other web forms cannot use the same email address they used to sign up to register for the forum.
We have also had the same problem with secure zones in that people who have already gone through a web form and have their name and email address in the CRM have issues signing in to the secure zone.
So, I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this so that people can sign up using the same email address.
Thank you for your assistance!

lost mode don't depend of the sim card. If you take your Iphone on Lost mode... anybody can use it with the original card sim or with an other one.
Did you try to localise it ?
But hope that thief don't make a restore of the Iphone... Call your Mobile Operator to try to block the IMEI Number.

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>
