Using a MACBook Pro OSX Leopard and Safari browser. Since the new release the cursor vibrates up and down ONLY while editing our site. The cursor is fine on other web pages. Is this a known problem? It is very annoying...

Loving the new toolbar and breathing a sigh of relief that the cursor key jog works again in FF! Please, please, PUH-LEASE redesign and re-release the BLOG PAGE. It's very ugly, small, and non-customisable. Yuk! Also, can we have a Twitter button for the soc networking widget. It's been the hottest SN site for a long time now. I tried inserting a blog page from another service with an iframe but that's not a good option for many reasons. I'm thinking a Wordpress plugin/page would be too tough to implement??

Cheers

Hi Nara,

We do not offer PHP support. If you want that sort of integration then SiteMaker and Moonfruit won't be the right web building package for you. Our software is designed for folks who want simply site building and don't want or need to worry about programming or back end support. We do our own proprietary hosting with our own infrastructure. So it's just not possible.

Regards

Walt

I am new to this, so pardon my ignorance. I have been told by my techie friends that I need "PHPsupport" ) that I plan to host with you. Do you have PHP support and how do I do it? They need this to subscribe to a three way linking service.

Hi David,

Gandi.net who house our servers for moonfruit.fr were doing planned network work last night so this led to a disruption in service. All has been restored now. Thanks,

Joe

Hi Dan,

thank you for your quick and informative response, the reason i wanted the links to open in a new window was so as the end user, when finished with viewing the linked site, could return back to my site instantly as it would still be open. I underrstand you saying they could use the back button, but if they have been browsing the linked site for a while, that could lead to requiring many back commands to get back to my site. Its not a major problem to me, more of an observation, however as you say, if you think changing the logic to take this into account is right, then i'm sure you guys will progress the matter.

Also, I noticed, when I view my script in FF, it's perfect, however i have now noticed that when i view it in IE, the picture image moves from its original location, to the bottom left of my page, but a dotted outline remains where it should be and the link is still there also, very wierd and not good for IE viewers, can you shed any light on this.

many thanks for all help

cheers

Faddy

I want to take advantage of all of the social networking tools; Twitter, a Wordpress blog, Facebook, etc. Is there a tutorial somewhere that can walk me step by step through the process of integrating them into my website?

Hi Faddy,

When we coded the HTML widget I made the call that links should open in the same browser window. This is considered good practice as the browsers history stays consistent allowing user to hit the Back button to return to the original site. When a new window is opened the history resets and the back button can't be used to return to the site. The user can become lost and they may never find their way back to your web page, especially if they're running with a maximised browser.

This decision was mostly done to cover situation where a link target hadn't been specified, in the case of your script where it has I could change the logic to take this into account, it's a discussion we've already started having in the office and your feedback helps feed into this.

Can I ask why it's better for you to have the links open in a new window?

tl;dr; this is how it's meant to work, we do plan to expand on the options for using link targets in the HTML widget so a site leader can customise the experience.

cheers,
Dan - Moonfruit Developer

Hi Guys,

I have implemented the html snippet widget for use on one of my sites.

I have added a script for random banners with links, to allow for random advertising, however, although I have used a script that should make the link open in a new window, this does not seem to happen, it continues to open the linked site in the same window, which is not the best option for me.

Any ideas why the link does not open in a new window, is this a possible problem with the html widget.

Any help would be appreciated.

many thanks in advance.

Faddy

Prior to the latest changes, ie this week, I have been able to highlight and copy the content in the meta sidebar - keywords and page description. Now when I right click to copy just get the adobe flash stuff coming up. Any comments on this please.

Hi Joe, seems to be true of all pages on all my sites. The metadata is there (I can see it in the advanced view) but in the new toolbar the boxes for keywords and description are blank. An example at random: http://www.stephenbrownphotography.... But all pages have the same problem.

Hi Steve,

Ok I can see that now. The data isn't gone, it's just not being displayed for some reason. Let me get the guys onto it. Thanks for letting me know!

Ooh, maybe spoke too soon! All my page based metadata seems to have disappeared?

Such a relief to have the cursor back in FF! You also seem to have fixed the bizarre and unpredictable behaviour of the cursor keys in FF so I can now move the cursor position reliably one character at a time - this was a problem long before the new edit environment and it used to drive me mad. So big thanks for that.
