MySpace Layouts Questions
From MediaWiki
Can I remove the Wix tab from the MySpace profile and widgets I created with Wix?
Yes! Simply go here and purchase the Remove Wix Promotional Links & Tab Upgrade.
This upgrade also removes the Wix logo from the pre-loader.
I'm trying to add Wix to my MySpace page, but the links that lead outside don't work. Why?
For now, MySpace's policy it to block all the links that lead out from your profile. That means that the links inside the Wix will work, but the external links won't.
How can I create/improve my MySpace business with Wix?
You can even now create a better MySpace presence for your business with Wix – for free.
You can make use of: contact forms, slideshows for your merchandize, Google maps, customizable banners and many of the other features and behaviors that are waiting for you for free in the Wix editor.
And lets not forget the fact that Wix is approved for MySpace outgoing links.
Also, since we are still in beta, we don’t have the "add to cart" and “PayPal” sales option yet, but that also is in the works.
How can Wix help me improve my personal MySpace profile?
For your personal or for your music MySpace profile, Wix enables creation of full MySpace layouts, profile layout extensions, such as ExtraSpace - additional space to the right side of your profile, headers, and TopSpace above the banner.
In addition, we offer creation of flash comments, widgets, video & music players, slide-shows and more for your MySpace profile.
To see those and other MySpace layout options, please see all the examples in the ‘explore’ & ‘create’ sections.
Whatever you create, you can embed it anywhere into your MySpace account, or all over it, by using the ‘publish’ button and either using the direct publish option, or simply copy/pasting it yourself into your MySpace editor.
How do I use/create a MiniPage for MySpace?
Here are some basic steps for using a MiniPage as a standalone website in your profile.
Thus enabling you to design a beautiful profile that will be used as the background for your minipage design, and then using the MiniPage option to define the only part of your website that will change according to your needs.
First, Go to the left toolbar and choose widgets –MiniPage.
Choose a blank MiniPage or one already prepared with buttons.
Decide its size by stretching it or using the settings numbers.
Go to the bottom toolbar to the ‘slide manager’ icon and decide how many pages/slides you need. Also, you can now give each page a name.
Go to the ‘settings’ icon in the bottom toolbar and decide if you want the pages to change automatically, the time for page change and which transition to use for your pages change.
Now, you can choose the menu buttons for your MiniPage from the left toolbar. Go to widgets – menus, pick one and drag it unto the MiniPage.
To connect the menu you chose to your MiniPage, just go to the bottom toolbar and use the ‘connect’ icon. Now the number of buttons will match the number of pages/slides you picked.
To edit the other pages of your mini-pages, you need to mark the dynamic part of your site. This will then mark the changing pages and you will see the navigation numbers for the other pages on the top. Simply press on the wanted page and start editing its content.
Also use the ‘settings’ icon in the bottom toolbar to define the space between the menu buttons and their colors.
In general, you can use the ‘replace’ icon to change the menus, background or any other object you need to replace.
How do I match my MySpace background color to my Wix design?
It is generally recommended to change your MySpace background color to match that of your Wix color design.
This is especially true when you use a full MySpace layout will leaves a small color border around your Wix layout.
To do so: Go to the top MySpace menu – profile – edit profile.
On your editor page go to the right top side – ‘new- profile themes’.
This will open the new profile themes editor provided by MySpace – chose ‘edit theme’ - background tab - choose your color, save & publish, then exit.
Do not choose any of the themes themselves since it will interfere with your Wix layout.
How do I delete a Wix code from MySpace?
When you already have a Wix code in your profile and you wish to upload a new code, whether it's a widget, banner or ExtraSpace, you will need to manually delete the older Wix code that you have in your profile's editor.
Go to the section where you posted the Wix and search for the Wix embed code, and then simply remove it.
A useful text for the search of that code is static.wix.com, which appears in the embed code.
This is not relevant in cases where you simply need to update a Wix you currently have in your profile, since the moment you change it in your Wix account and save it, it will be updated on your MySpace profile.
How can I cover all my MySpace profile?
Here are a few words on how to create your own full MySpace layout, either for a personal profile or a music one.
In Wix, Go to ‘create’ then the left toolbar and choose MySpace-full layout.
Choose one of the templates you want to customize, and ‘edit’ it as you wish.
Now, there are only two things - not to do while you change and customize your chosen layout:
1. Do not move or cover the bottom MySpace menu that comes with each template.
2. Do not change the height or width of the template in ‘settings’.
But the rest of it you can edit and customize at your will, including the top menu buttons.
To edit the other pages of your MySpace template, you need to mark the dynamic part of your site. This will then mark the changing pages and you will see the navigation numbers for the other pages on the top. Simply press on the wanted page and start editing its content.
pay attention that when you want to change the content of a certain page, you need to click on the site until you see the small navigation arrows on the top left side of that certain page.
Each number corresponds to its navigation button - starting left to right.
There will be times when you get two sets of numbers on the top left corner - one for the page of the site and one for the slideshow in that page.
You can also use the ‘settings’ icon in the bottom toolbar to define the space between the top menu buttons of your MySpace template, and their colors.
In general, you can use the ‘replace’ icon to change the menus, music player, background or any other object or media you need to replace or customize.
- Publishing your full MySpace layout.
First, delete all the old code from your MySpace editor.
After you finish your design and you want to publish it to your MySpace profile you need to save it first, then: go to the publish button – embed icon – enter your MySpace ID – copy the code you get and paste it into your MySpace editor in the ‘about me’ section. And that’s it.
Now every update you make in your Wix doc, will immediately present itself in your new MySpace account. (Just don’t forget to refresh your MySpace page).
How can I Move my Wix to the exact place i want it in MySpace?
The fastest way to move your Wix to the exact place you want it in your MySpace profile is by simple going into your MySpace account editor, find the place where the code is, and play with the placement numbers ( not the size ones) until you get it.
A useful text for the search is static.wix.com that'll appear in the embed code.
Note: This advice is not relevant in case you are using the full MySpace layout option in Wix.
How to Connect your personal blog to your MySpace profile?
Since all outside links from your MySpace profile are blocked due to MySpace policy, the only way to stream external info to your profile is to use an RSS feed.
In the last version we added many new improved designs of RSS feeds that will allow you to present your blogs comments in a new way in your profile.
Just add the RSS you want to your profile design and connect it to your blog.
