Vimeo 16:9 shows up letterboxed in iWeb

Hi.
I'm running iWeb09 on an iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
When I embed 16:9 videos from vimeo using the html snipet, the videos appear in widescreen format BUT in letterbox.
(My son runs iWeb11 on his mac book and I had the same problem there.)
I have a friend who's videos appear and play in 16:9 using vimeo embeds with iWeb. She claims to have done nothing special.
Here's how mine look:

Here's how hers look:
http://www.heidi-reel.com/Heidi_Strock_Reel/Chuck.html
I want mine to look like hers.
Thanks in advance.

Let's see if we can spot the numbers.

Slide Shows in iLife, iPhoto, iWeb '08 and Web Gallery

I have iLife '08 abd thus iWeb '08 and developed my website in 2006 using iWeb '06. I also belong to .Mac and therefore have access to that Web Gallery or .Mac Gallery (unsure which name it has). I like the newer slide shows/carousels that are newly available and would like to know whether I can make such slide shows and place such slide shows in my iWeb website.
I realize that another alternative is to make a slide show and put it in the Web Gallery and access it in my website via a URL pointing to the slidehow.
Is it true that ALL OF THE VARIATIONS OF SLIDE SHOWS are created in iPhoto '08? If so, then I guess if I make the slideshows there, I can decide where I want to place them (in my website or in Web Gallery).

Go to web gallery, find out the album ID that you need to delete.
iDisk -> Web -> Sites -> _gallery
Delete the album ID of the albums that arn't in iphoto.
Then resync the albums missing.

How can I make my SSL show up on my iweb site?

Hi. So my website is: www.ymcacampbenson.org
I recently purchased and am correctly running my SSL from GoDaddy. They have confirmed that it is current and running. They stated that I need to make the script in iWeb point to the secure site.
Anyone know how I can make my site show up https?

Getting photos to show properly in your iWeb Blog Summary?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an iWeb photo blog, but am having some problems. This is what I have so far: www.nigelivy.com
Basically my plan is to use the "blog home" as my site's actual home and to upload a daily photo. There are two problems that I have faced:
1. I can't get my photos which I add to each entry to show on the home page in the "Blog Summary".
2. When I did get the photos to show up, they were blurred. Is there a way of fixing this?
Any help would be appreciated! If anyone can recommend a iWeb blog template for this sort of site, please let me know...
Many thanks,
Nigel

When you use the image placeholder in a blogpage, the image is displayed in the summary.
When you delete that placeholder and simply drop an image on the page, that image won't be displayed.
Tiny details that make iWeb so interesting to use for some and confusing for others.

Showing remote webcam in iWeb built site

I have a remote webcam at a summer camp that I am webmaster for. I use iWeb for the site. Currently we have the webcam feeding to another url. How can I get that to show on a page on our site?
Thanks

Display the other url in a HTML Snippet with the <iframe> element.

TA24927 My videos aren't showing when I open Iweb, but they do show when I publish the site, any ideas why?

They do play in the browser just not in the application, makes it hard when I try to organize the page

Well, if the video displays after publishing then nothing is wrong.
If you cannot see the video in iWeb, then your code probably does not allow it to display in the application.
In that case, imagine that you see the video.
If that's too difficult, use a picture.

Web galleries showing in iweb after updates for anyone?

Wondering if anyone has tried and be successful publishing a web gallery from Aperture 2 and having it show up in the Iweb insert menu.
I get Iphoto galleries showing up, but not Aperture. The files are on the idisk.
thanks

I too have just discovered that web galleries created in Aperture show up on the web, but do not show up on the insert menu under iWeb. This is bad because I'm creating blog entries as we speak, and cannot insert recently created galleries into them. Any solutions anyone?

Vimeo Searches in ATV2 show less results than in osx

Hi all,
I live in Argentina, have an ATV2 and MacBook Pro.
Searches in vimeo through opera show extesively more results than searches through ATV2.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks

Hi Will,
Hmmm... That's a tough question without seeing the results of FMAF, at least. Sometimes, something goes wrong with the reassignment (if you did any) or the carry-forward. Sometimes, it's somehow connected to internal process which differs from SAP standard (again, if you have any). Could be really several reasons, but most of them are resulted from enhanced solutions in FM.

Two questions, hierarchical pages and vimeo videos

just upgraded to 09 from 06 (i think, the iMovie version was 06). one of the limitations i had with the old iWeb was that a site was essentially flat with all the webpages showing at the top of the page and navigation was accomplished by clicking on the desired page.
i would like to have another level. for instance, i click on a page and that page has a different list of pages (including the one it came from). currently, i use a mixture of iWeb pages and galleries from Aperture to display my photographs. i would like to be able to do it all in one place since iWeb 09 "sees" Aperture.
suggestions?
there is a widget for inserting youtube videos, but i use vimeo. what is the best way to do that? use the html snippet widget and use the imbed code from vimeo?

There are two methods in iWeb 09 to insert YouTube videos: The YouTube widget or the HTML snippet: Adding YouTube Videos
As far a hierarchal pages, you can create you second tier pages and leave them out of the navbar but add text based hyperlinks to them in their host page. The host page could have a text based second navbar pointing to the sub pages: Text Based Navbar.
If you have a lot of pages you could add the sub pages to a second site and link to them from a page in your first site. You can add hyperlinks to get back and forth between the sites.
If you would want to include a page in each site taking the visitor to the other site create a blank page in each site, name it for the other site and add the following code to an HTML snippet on each page;
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "URL TO SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRET TO"; </script>
Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code
You would need to publish each site so you could determine what the URL needed would be for the code. That makes updating your site a little quicker since you don't have to deal with all pages, just those within the main site or sub site. Lots of ways to skin that cat.

Iweb 2.0.3 website generated not workinf at all for firefox or IE...

I have made a very simple site dropping iphoto pictures, and saved it onto a file. When I call the index.html file from IE (whatever the version) or firefox, no pictures, no navigation, just some text comes. (just Safari on PC works fine). Using the java console, I can see lots of error messages that seem to make this site hangover. The messages are :
Error: unterminated character class ^ in (my site...)/iWebSite.js (programmer hieroglyphing to me)
the error is located at line 1044 : var urlParts=urlString.match(/^ at this sign.
Same error within navbar.js, error at line 25: text=text.replace(/\ at this sign
then I've got "detectBrowser is not defined" in iWebimages.js, "navbar not defined" in
"voyages.html" my page)*, "setTransparentGifURL"** and "loadMozillaCSS in voyages.js, tinyMCE in messagepost (line 4046), and some errors about "$ not defined in WidgetCommon.js (line 16). Some functions are not found ? Where the **** are they ?
(I am giving the lines, because I believe iWeb generates always the same kind of code, and line numbering).

I hace tried with less pictures (I am showing 1000), with no results, so it should not come from the amount of data, more onthe iWeb side.
I have no clue on html code writing, and I am not doing weird things (just showing pictures and using iWeb because the slideshow is nice (Safari). I am a bit puzzled by those errors on a very simple site (does Apple deliver tested software - It was used to, but I already had lots of problems installing the last OSX version, and now the iLife part of it is also behaving like another software/OS provider. I would not like both companies to look laike (that's why I still choose Apple...)
What should I do to make it work ? (please, if you have easy workarounds, not a tricky download of executables to be found in strange places !...) I just want to use iWeb in its simplest form, and I am surprised to be quite alone in this trouble (I have read that Internet Explorer was really bad at understanding iWeb pages, but in this case even Firefox collapses. Unfortunately the webbrowser standard is still IE or firefox (even if I like Safari, I have to comply with what is the most used in this (PC... ;-( ) world.)
Thanks alot if anyone can help, (or should I find iWeb06 : some discussions forums say it is... better than 08... and then where ?) Sorry for being so long, but details may be important)

Hi again (not been very active on the subject for some time).
I have found another thread in here that seems linked to my problem: I ain't got any number, but
you may find it looking at "IE crashing Iweb 08 blocking can be solved using Prototype 1.1.0" by balord.
It tells me : the "faulty" part is located in Iwebsite.js. It is filled by something called Prototype1.0.0
in iWeb 08, and apparently a solution could be to use a Prototype1.1.0, but up to now the description on how to fix it (changing lines within this .js) is not very clear to me. The link in there indicates a .js file, but it is far uncomprehensible, and I don't know which lines to remove, to change,...
I also tried Maestro (mentioned in the thread, but this does nothing at all (nothing !) : it only wipes out comments from the html code, and reduces images size (good enough to speed up loading, but not to clean garbage html, or js. I have found some websites that apprently are exactly the same as mine, but working (one from a model called sam nelemans... ok there should be others, but this one is the plain use of iWeb as I intended to do ... with less nude pictures !) even with IE. I shall be trying to dump her .js file, but I have to know how to do this (maybe using the activity window within Safari, not sure).
Another point : IE5 on Mac is also stuck. and if I removed the Iwebsite.js line in my html code, then even Safari is blocked as is IE. Probably it indicates that this is really the place where the bug (for me this is one) is located.
I'll try to keep you aware of progress if any. No news from Apple side (bug posted). now news, bad news...

Changes from iWeb 08 to iWeb 09 - is there a complete list anywhere?

Hi all -
I just upgraded from '08 to '09. Before I start mucking around too much, I'm wondering if there is a complete list of the changes out there somewhere.
Thanks,
roxpat

What a flippin' disaster. You were correct, Roddy. I updated one page on my website - the front page (very poor decision) - and iWeb 09 completely screwed it up. The WSYIG concept is totally gone from iWeb 09. Everything looked fine in iWeb itself, but when I uploaded it to the server the paragraphs were spaced differently, text boxes were larger than they should be and were placed differently than what they showed up as in iWeb itself. I spent a good hour just trying to make it look decent again.
This weekend I will revert back to iWeb 08 until I hear that 09 is working properly. Boooooooo Mac - what were you thinking???

When user clicks on "Like Button," the counter increases but nothing shows up showing the user recommends my site to their friends. What did I do wrong?

When user clicks on "Like Button," the counter increases but nothing shows up showing the user recommends my site to their friends. What did I do wrong?
I used the iframe code from Facebook's "Like Button" site; and inserted the code in the html widget popup box, then positioned it where I wanted it on my page and published. It looks fine (though I had to add "http" before my url to get it to show up).
So, when a user clicks on button, a pop-up opens asking for Facebook password. When I (the user) enter a password, nothing happens after that. I thought the idea was that a user would be able to show their friends that they like my website. After I entered my password in pop-up after clicking on "Like" I went to my facebook page (a company page) to see if it showed that I (the user that clicked on "Like" on iweb) recommended the website. But nothing showed up. I thought maybe it was because Facebook associated my password as the admin for the Facebook page so didn't count it. But a friend tried it and same thing happened. I went back and on one page I put in another facebook code for a combo Like/Send button. It shows up but acted the same as the regular Like button.
Questions:
1. Is this the way the Like Button is suppose to work? Only benefit of Like button being that it just counts the clicks on the Like button and does NOT let users share their recommendation with their friends?
2. If it's suppose to let users share their "Likes" with their friends, what did I do wrong? There were three types of code but in reading discussions, they all say to use iframe. (I used the first choice which I think was html for Javascript SDK and put that in my HTML Snippit box and the Like/Share button showed up on my iweb page next to the facebook icon and the words "likes this" but when I click it, I don't see instructions that it's sending my recommendation to my friends.)
I must have done something wrong, but can't figure out what. Does anyone know? If the only benefit of the Like Button is the counter, it doesn't seem worthwhile.
Thanks to anyone who can figure this out! My website is couponsforfun.com

You want something like this?
http://home.wyodor.net/demoos/facebook/
The send button sends the link to their friends in the address field with a message.
They recieve a message in the inbox.
There's no post on a page.
If they want that, then they should share the link themselves.
Perhaps it's best to study what facebook has to offer and how it works instead of guessing what it is supposed to do and be disappointed.

Warning: Backing up your iWeb 'Domain' file will not save you.

Here's the transcript from my chat with a MobilMe Support Rep. after losing (they simply disappeared) all of my blog's very valuable comments (hundreds), for nearly two years of blog entries.
I have many backed up 'domain' files, and each shows the comments that have been received and saved for all the entries when iWeb first starts up. But then, for some reason iWeb scrubs them (they just disappear) and when I "Publish All" to the web, the entries are published but not the comments attached.
Read MobilMe's response and consider yourselves warned. Backups won't save you. They simply won't. And yet . . . I was actually told I should have backed up. When I told my tech rep I had, then the reality of the situation came out. This is amazing to me.
Read on . . .
You are chatting with Omran A, a MobileMe Support Representative
Hi, my name is Omran A. Welcome to Apple!
Omran A: How are you?
Omran A: I see that you have lost your comments.
Omran A: Correct?
Perry: Yes. Phone just rang, so my responses will be a bit slow for a few
Omran A: I apologize for the inconvenience.
Omran A: Have you upgraded iWeb recently?
Perry: Yes, Omran, is there any way to retrieve them?
Omran A: I am sorry this has happened to you. Losing comments tend to happen when upgrading iweb:
Perry: I'm running the latest version, and have been since it came out. Had problems with people even leaving comments for a while, as did everyone who was using iWeb, but that had become an issue of the past for a few months as memory serves.
Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
Omran A: Please let me know if you can view the link
Perry: We are well past the info in this upgrade doc. Upgraded long ago
Perry: Yes, I've got it up
Omran A: I just wanted to show you that upgrading iWeb tends to delete comments
Perry: I am at step 6, contact MobilMe support.
Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
Perry: http://web.me.com/davidperryphoto1/GardenBlog/APhotographers_Garden_Blog/A_Photographers_GardenBlog.html
Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
Omran A: Thank you
Omran A: Please hold while I do some investigation
Omran A: Did your comments get deleted after updating to iWeb 2.0 or did happen month after that?
Perry: More than a month afterward. Just a week or so ago
Omran A: OK
Omran A: Thank you
Omran A: Please hold while I do some further investigation
Perry: Still there?
Omran A: Yes
Omran A: I am still performing a investigation.
Omran A: Please give me a few more minutes.
Perry: Thanks. I'll just keep on working here...
Omran A: Thank you for your patience
Omran A: I am terribly sorry. I search all over the servers and I am not able to recover your comments.
Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
Perry: When I start up iWeb with my saved "domain" file, I see the comments, but then, within moments, the program scrubs them, because, apparently they are no longer out there on the web. Is there anyway to recapture them from the saved domain file?
Perry: How the heck do I back up my comments if they are stored in some obscure place on one of your servers and seperate from my website?
Omran A: So you see them and then they disappear
Perry: yes
Omran A: OK
Omran A: I believe the following link shows you how to backup to save comments
Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
Perry: Omran, look. I have a backed up copy of my domain, just as they direct. When I start up iWeb with this file, I see the saved comments. But when I publish all, as directed, I get the blog but I get no comments published. That's why you and I are talking. I've apparently got the comments still in some form in my saved domain, but the program, or .ME scrubs them. What the **** good does the backed up file do me if I can't get Mobil Me to recognize the comments and re-post them? This is my issue.
Omran A: OK
Omran A: I am sorry I did not fully understand you
Omran A: One moment please.
Omran A: I am sorry even though you are able to see the comments for a split second. You can not recover them from the domain file.
Omran A: Just for clarification
Perry: Can we agree that this is a gigantic "cluster #@$*" and that this wonderful new opportunity presented us in the form of MobilMe has been very painful and expensive for many of your loyal customers?
Omran A: You see the comments with the domain file you backed up in iweb but can not see them once you published them to the internet, correct?
Perry: correct.
Omran A: Do they disappear in iWeb ?
Perry: But the program or something tends to scrub them within a minute or so of the program starting up. They are there, in all the entries dating all the way back, and then they are not. They just disappear.
Omran A: I am sorry the domain is there but We can not recover the comments. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with MobileMe. We have given our loyal customers a 90 day extension for your patience with us.
Perry: Do you or anyone there know of a resource that I can send the domain file to take it apart and retrieve the comments. Someone has to know how to burrow into the file and pull that stuff. Anybody there know of a resource?
Omran A: Let me check
Omran A: I just checked with my supervisor and he checked the servers and said there is no way to recover your comments.
Omran A: My sincere apologies. I understand loosing comments that span for two years is very sad.
Omran A: If there was a way I would let you know.
Omran A: I am sorry that you experience with MobileMe has not been that great, you may leave a feedback and let us know what issues has frustrated you
Omran A: MobileMe feedback
Omran A: Upper manager reads the feeback
Omran A: Feedback
Perry: Thanks to you personally Omran for your efforts. I'll be saving and perhaps publishing this dialogue between us on the blog as a warning to others, along with a few choice words and pictures illustrating my newly formed opinion of MobilMe. Watch for it.
Omran A: If you select the blue close button and you will receive a survey.
Omran A: Please note that the survey reflects only me.
Omran A: I am sorry that I was not able to help you.
Perry: NO worries. Thanks!
Omran A: If you create the blog can you change my name to something else
Omran A: It would be horrible to have people coming in and saying oh no it is you!
Perry: Why, you were awesome. It is iWeb and this new, rammed down our throats long before it should have been, MobilMe that is the problem, not you. You were a real peach.
Omran A: Thank you Perry
Omran A: Thank you for chatting and I hope MobileMe services improve to meet your needs
Omran A: And have a great day
Perry: You can be certain that I do too! Thanks again!

Yeah, if your Domain won't fit on a CD or you don't have space to save it, at LEAST set up Backup to annoy you at regular intervals. Once you've clicked cancel a few times due to wanting to get something else done, perhaps it will begin to wear on your psyche and guilt you into going ahead and doing it!

Aperture (2.1.1.) - iWeb cannot find the Aperture Gallery in the web widget

Hi all,
I think this is not really related to MobileMe's current problems, as it shows alright on the web:
If I publish a Web Album to MM (and I think it was the same issue with .Mac but am not sure), everythings working fine upload wise.
Only if I want to include the Web Album in iWeb with the help of the Web-Widget tool, Aperture Web-Galleries do not show up.
iPhoto works fine, what's published to MM there shows up on the iWeb widget menu (if not password protected)
Does anyone experience the same? is that 'normal' or is there a work-around?
Cheers
Greg

The workaround for this is to turn your Aperture galleries ( ie, albums) into iPhoto galleries, at least temporarily. You can do this online, once you are logged into your actual .me account (http://www.me.com/gallery/#home). Select an album, choose the Settings button at the top of the page ( a button with "light switches" graphic on it ), change the "Syncs with:" option to iPhoto and Ok. Then launch iWeb and you should find the gallery listed there. Once you publish the site, you should be ok to set the album settings back to Aperture. +(Haven't double checked this yet ...)+
*Note 1:*
If you don't see the Syncs with option, then hold down the 'shift' key when you click on the Settings.
Then it will show.
*Note 2:*
Folks are confusing the web gallery albums that are showing up in the intra-app media browser (just images are accessed here) and the insert gallery menu item (entire gallery inserted). Easy mistake but they are different functions.
