[GUIDE+Video] How to use a Wix profile. [UPDATED 9/15/2011]

[x-OhhhRachel]

I need as big wix pro on gaia as x-OhhhCirry.
with this code.
<object width="1120" height="728" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid biggrin 27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10.0.0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/> <param name="[removed]\" value="always"/><param name="base" value="http://static.wix.com"/><param name="movie" value="http://static.wix.com/client/app.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="FlashVars" value="pageId=_XmeFsJ6v1TFubuesyINBA--a&embedFormat=websites&embedID=433ec5e9-5e45-4222-9d4c-cfc8e0c31249&partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a" /><param name="scale" value="noScale" /><param name="salign" value="tl" /><embed src="http://static.wix.com/client/app.swf" quality="high" allowNetworking="all" [removed]="always" allowFullScreen="true" FlashVars="pageId=_XmeFsJ6v1TFubuesyINBA--a&embedFormat=websites&embedID=433ec5e9-5e45-4222-9d4c-cfc8e0c31249&partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1120" height="728" base="http://static.wix.com" scale="noscale" salign="tl" ></embed></object><br/><a href="http://www.wix.com"><b>Free website</b></a> - <a href="http://www.wix.com/create/website" ><b>Powered By Wix.com</b></a>

From your code:

object width="500" height="400"

This means that on Wix, you've set the profile to be really small.
If you make it bigger using the Wix editor, then if you convert it again you'll get CSS that makes it bigger.
You could also make it bigger by manually editing the CSS, but you'd have to get the height:width ratio just right to avoid white-box issues. I can help you with this if you can't get it to look right using the Wix editor I guess?

(to change the dimensions of your Wix, click the Settings button in the top bar then the Appearance tab)

yes, but when i do that i get the css code, and i put that in the theme override

You should get two different codes out of the converter.
Do you see both of them? I can get your media code for you if you give me the embed.

lol, i can't figure this out sad , heres the embed :
<object width="1024" height="750" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid biggrin 27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10.0.0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/> <param name="[removed]\" value="always"/><param name="base" value="http://static.wix.com"/><param name="movie" value="http://static.wix.com/client/app.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="FlashVars" value="pageId=Sx0M_1OKqyP_1FdnFOAQgA--a&embedFormat=websites&embedID=e8fe7b89-7763-4998-8efd-2e47aec7379d&partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a" /><param name="scale" value="noScale" /><param name="salign" value="tl" /><embed src="http://static.wix.com/client/app.swf" quality="high" allowNetworking="all" [removed]="always" allowFullScreen="true" FlashVars="pageId=Sx0M_1OKqyP_1FdnFOAQgA--a&embedFormat=websites&embedID=e8fe7b89-7763-4998-8efd-2e47aec7379d&partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1024" height="750" base="http://static.wix.com" scale="noscale" salign="tl" ></embed></object><br/><a href="http://www.wix.com"><b>Free website</b></a> - <a href="http://www.wix.com/create/website" ><b>Powered By Wix.com</b></a>

[Extra Shine]

Thank you for doing this!

I made one and tried it on my mule, it worked perfectly, however, I made the profile from a template on the Wix site and then personalised it; after I paste the code in the media section, it shows the original template and not the one I made! Although I saved and published it on the Wix site and only copied the enbed code after I saved! Was I not supposed to use a template for this to work?!

I should add that after clicking the link they provide as my "website" it shows the profile I made and not the template..

Can I fix this without repeating the whole thing?!! crying

Ok, so first off what you need is the SWF, and it looks like you got that right.
However, you'll need to remove the space you left between the ? and pageId=, that will mess it up when you use it.
Once you take out the space, the SWF is what goes in your media panel. After you get the SWF you don't need the embed.
(your media panel should be the only panel on your page, preferably in column 1)
You'll then select one of the sets of CSS in the "Resizing Your Media" post.
However, if your profile is not one of the standard sizes, then the CSS won't be quite right.
Yours is 1000x670, rather than the 800x520 or 1000x650 we provide on the front page. The advantage of my converter here is that it will automatically detect the size you need and plug it into your CSS. You can modify the CSS by hand too, just use the second set of CSS in the post and change "650" to "670". (I got the number 670 out of your embed code, at the start where it defines the dimensions. If you change the dimensions in the CSS take careful note: the width number is used 3 times while height is only used once, this is on purpose and has to do with how Wix sizes.)

I hope that makes sense?
Um also if you have any reservations about the converter I'd be happy to answer questions about it, but I also understand if you'd just prefer not to use it.

This has happened more than a couple times and I still can't figure out the exact steps to reproduce it.
Did you publish your profile or just save it?
Make sure you go through the publish menu, if you already published try doing it again.
(re-publishing and getting the embed that way generally seems to correct this issue)
It does have something to do with the template but that doesn't mean you can't use them n_n

Hey there. I was wondering what websites can I use to add some music into my Wix.com profile. I don't have the file in my computer files but I don't know how to add the music player and have it so that it plays a number of songs and it continues into other pages as well.

I would appreciate the help very much. emotion_kirakira
