?? appear on My Album/Photo Pages

I have 2 ?? appear on my Album and photo pages. When I visit the published site, they aren't there, but show up when I view online. I've tried for a week to figure out the glitch, but haven't found it. What am I missing? It's at: http://www.ohlsenclayworks.com/Index/Gallery/Gallery.html
Thanks

Are you publishing to .Mac or to a non .Mac server? It may be a Unicode issue if it's a non .Mac server. I don't know enough about that particular issue but a search of this forum for unicode may get you to some topics where it's discussed.
It appears to be some character that's been added that is not supported. Maybe some character in a text box that you didn't know you created and appears invisible in iWeb. It appears in the code as: class="bumper">��.
Do a select all in iWeb for the page and see if there are any items in the vicinity of where those characters are displayed online.

IWeb Photo Pages vs. MobileMe Gallery

I post a personal blog with quite a few pictures. Does anyone know the advantages to using an iWeb Albums/Photo pages versus using the widget to link to MobileMe galleries?

You should look at the user experience. iWeb albums are attractive and easy for the user to use. Widgets can be useful for a quick way to link to an external gallery but as a user I would find it a less attractive option than the iWeb albums. Would you, if you were a stranger visiting the site, find one or the other option more or less attractive?
The greatest advantage with any web page element is where the user finds something enticing, and therefore wanting to return to the site. You optimize with that as your first thought and then design accordingly.

Photo pages not appearing in IE browsers

Hi,
Now that I've worked out image quality issues in iweb 08, currently testing my published site (temporarily in protected directory test mode). Through Safari Develop Tool I've checked various browsers and all browsers display my site correctly except IE browsers. In all IE browsers I'm noticing the photo pages are not displaying my image thumbnails except captions. Hovering and clicking the mouse over where the image should be visible brings up the slideshow and images do appear. The photo album pages are less then 12 pictures per album; images have been optimized. So this is not the problem regarding the thumbnail pages. So what could it be? Javascript issues?
Frustrated because this one issue is preventing me from displaying my site live! Of course, I could just forget about PC users but I have products I want to sell and don't want to lose potential customers. One peculiar glitch on a website scares people away.
Been searching all over the internet for answers but growing more confused. Although new to safari's develop tool and unfamiliarity with javascript fixes, curious if clicking on debugging javascript would be a remedy. If so, what would I need to do to fix the disappearing images? Or, should I just accept that iweb 08 and IE are incompatible and inform my visitors to use non-IE browsers such as Safari and FireFox? Such a letdown!
Help most appreciative!
Cheers, June

I figured it out!!!
Somewhere along the way, the following permission class got added to the pagedef's of two of the pages but not the others
<permission permissionClass="oracle.webcenter.security.auth.HierarchicalResourcePermission"
              target="serviceID=oracle.webcenter.page,scopeID=s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed,resourceID=/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/*<page name>*.jspx"
              xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/security">

    <privilege-map operation="edit" privilege="update"/>
    <privilege-map operation="personalize" privilege="personalize"/>
    <privilege-map operation="view" privilege="view"/>
</permission>once i added the permission class to the other pages they showed up in the navigation model.

IWeb 09 major bug - losing site - believe it's photo albums and photo pages

I have repeatedly lost my site now 3 times since upgrading.
The problem appears to be when editing photo album pages with a few photo albums on them and then rearranging those albums and pages between sites.
I can't be more specific at this stage, as it's happening relatively randomly, but am curious if others have discovered similar problems.
FWIW I am recovering by using time machine and backups.

I too had major problems with iWeb '09. I was unable even to publish to a local folder without getting an error message "Unknown error" (really, really helpful). I published a site created and maintained by iWeb '08 four times to separate local folders within an hour, not changing the site at all during that period. Only about 90% of the contents were published. Typically what was missing was some photo albums and blogs, although not always the same photo albums.
After some careful poking about in my MobileMe-published site I noticed that some particular pages were not publishing to a local folder. Upon investigation I discovered that some of the photo albums, whilst appearing in the sidebar in iWeb '09, did not appear on the main albums page. It seems that, for whatever reason, iWeb '09 had lost the links to these. I deleted the pages from the sidebar and then turned my attention to Blogs. This was the other area where I noticed that publishing seemed to have a problem.
One of the problems seemed to be that there was a link to a, by now, 'lost' photo album. Editing the link and then re-publishing to a local folder at last cured the problem. I have yet to publish to MobileMe, but at last things are looking good in the 'test' phase.
It seems that, unless your iWeb '08-created site was relatively simple, some editing HAS to be done in iWeb '09 before publishing. I hope that this answers more questions than it poses!

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Import (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire. All photos ( many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS.

Attempted to import 6.5 GB of (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire. All photos (plus many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS. I read a previous response to a similar question -- to copy the pictures library to the new computer. How best to do that?

There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.

Photos on photo page not appearing after republishing to ftp site

A photo template page (9 photos) created in iWeb used to appear online along with my other pages when published to an ftp site. However, after changing a few of the photos, none of the photos appear after republishing. The page appears as a menu, but no photos.
I've recreated the photo page using iWeb's template, but to no avail. The photos are about 150KB each. Any suggestions? My next step would be to create a photo page without using iWeb's template for photos.

It was likely FTP because when I was online chatting with an FTB service rep hours after republishing the site, the photos all of a sudden appeared.
At any rate, I very much appreciate your time. Now if I just figure various other things, like why a photo on one of my pages also appears in a text box on the same page! Had to replace the text box with a pdf file to get the text to appear. Strange stuff.

Photo page not displaying photo albums

I have a domain with Yahoo!, and I'm using .Mac to host the domain and iWeb to publish the content. My photos page isn't loading properly. When I go to the web.mac.com address, the photos page loads fine, and all the albums are visible. However, when I access the photos page from the hosted domain name, the page background and title load, but the albums are not visible.

AJAX failed during requesting assets in streamloader, by looking at the source code I can see that streamloader is pointing back to your .mac site. It's a security issue, AJAX script can not request cross domain.
Question: did you publish to your .mac? and then mount idisk and upload your .mac site to your baukol site?
You can do one of these two:
1) publish to a folder and upload it to you baukol site (duplication of the two sites).
2) or forward baukol site to your .mac site (no duplication, only .mac).

Albums and Related Photo Page Not Working and IE when Files Local

OK this is a tricky one for me.
iWeb 3.0
Building and testing a site from a local folder on my MBP
Create an album page, add an album from Aperture save and publish to local folder ( Sites )
Looks great in Safari
Testing in Windows XP (vmwear on the same machine) - Firefox works perfectly BUT Internet Explorer 7.0 and the albums will not show on the page. Manually type in the url to the related photo page and and no photos display and clicking the play slideshow does nothing.
HERE IS THE FUNKY part!! I tested a page from Old Toads site with demos of albums and it works PERFECTLY in IE. A check of the source and it too was created with iWeb 3
Tried a simple test site and same issue with local files.
So here is my question to you: Would there be any reason albums would not be working when in a site is being tested from a local file file folder?
Thanks

The plot thickens...
I prefered to test local to review changes and test in all browers without dealing with ftp etc. Good idea at the time but MSFT is too quirky...
I loaded the site (FTP) to my host and the albums work fine in IE... Bottom line is testing from local folders is not reliable in IE... Safari and FireFox are fine...
Side note: Most websafe fonts also sucked on IE (clear type on) so I went with images for various small text blocks. The overhead of the png files is small in the name of quality. Also no chance to get the nav bar to work with IE so that was all manually done.

Photo Page, Add albums, creates new "Album Pages", style?

Working with iWeb09, I created a single photo gallery page, then I drop in an album from iPhoto, looks and works great. I edit the resulting page and it looks great, but when I add another iPhoto album, it creates a new photo page automatically. How can I get that page to look the same as the previous pages? It seems to default to the template default.

ADDENDUM: This might work but may be more effort than just editing the layout.
1 - select the page that the album creates and duplicate it (select and type Command+D) - Page A
2 - add the new album.
3 - go to the new album's page - Page B, select and copy the thumbnail box.
4 - go to Page-A, click on the thumbnail box, select all of the photos in it and delete.
5 - Do a paste to bring in the new photos from B.
6 - delete page B and rename A to what B was named.
7 - change any text boxes as needed.
8 - select the image for the second album, go to the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink and link it to page A via the Link to one of my pages menu.
Sounds like a lot but may be quicker than modifying the layout each time. Or not.

Album and Photo Pages Paint In/Refresh Slowly

It seems about 60 days or so ago, everything worked fine. When displaying a picture page or one linked through albums, the screen view painted in very quickly. Now it hesitates on showing the album view and really takes a long time for the picture pages. Slow as it...paint in one picture border, then another, then another, then start filling the border with a picture or two, then another and so on. This all occurs when viewed using Safari, which one would expect to be synced pretty efficiently with iWeb. Try the same using Firefox and everything works the way it used to in Safari. I know it's not my Internet connection and speed. I'm on DSL 6 and do not see the slow down anywhere else. I'm thinking it may be the way that iWeb handles the number of images I've posted...but it shouldn't if Firefox doesn't have the issues. Have a look for yourself and tell me what you see and think: http://www.shutterartphotography.com/MHS/HOME/HOME.html

I found Safari 3.0.4 quicker on the entry page and only slightly slower on the photo pages. I've got a very fast cable connection but did see a hesitation on the entry page in loading. In the photo pages Safari would load the frames slightly before adding the photos. FF2 was a bit fasters.

Album Page versus Photo Page

I setup my site with several photo pages under album pages.
Then created another photo page and hyperlinked the photo for each album on that to album page to shows the different albums for each subject.
Problem is, the main album page I was trying to get it to look like this http://alyeska.altervista.org/albumsite/Welcome/Site2/Site2.html
Problem I have is the main album page like it shows above doesnt look like that because it is a photo page and ends up looking like this layout here
http://alyeska.altervista.org/albumsite/Welcome/Mountains/Pages/Summer.html
When I try to drag album page with photo pages onto new album page it does not drop it over into it.
Anyone know how I can create album page so it will allow me to drop other albums pages into it like the first link above?
Thanks
Patrick

Hi again Patrick,
To avoid further confusion I think I would ask him directly.
I'm guessing if you questioned him through the web site him would
be happy to tell you exactly what he did.
good luck

I just want to organize my photos to albums and not appear anywhere else. Photos appear in Photos and no indication if they have been dealt with.

I want to load my photos onto my MacBook Pro, sort them into albums and not have them appear in other locations. If I go to Photos all of the photos in the computer seem to appear. I can't tell if they have been put in an Album or have been edited. Is there a simpler system that I can use.

iPhoto works similarly to iTunes. In iTunes, every track is in the Library and each playlist is a sub-set of the Library.
So, in iPhoto, every image is in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library. So, your photos will always be visible in the Library and in any album you use them in. That - of course - means that any image can ne used in a multitude of albums, and use no extra disk space. So that shot of your son, daughter and their puppy can be in the Son album, Daughter album, Puppy Album and even a favourites album.
Photos and Events are simply two views of the Library - two doors to the same room as it were.
It's easy to find photos not in an Album - with a Smart Album:
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> any
and another will find Photos not editoed:
File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Edited.
As you edit a photo, or add it to an album, they will be dropped from the Smart Album.

Buttons appear as Question Marks in Photo Page

Hey all,
I've been having this problem where buttons (Start Slideshow, Email Me, and Made on a Mac) show up as Question Marks on one of my Photo pages (titled "New Photos)
Follow Link below:
http://web.mac.com/adventurestorys/iWeb/Site%201/New%20Photos.html
In the past I've been able to make a small change to the page and re-publish which corrects the problem. But this one is stubborn. Any advice?
Note that I have already tried the "Publish all to .Mac" and that didn't help. And I do Empty my Cache in Safari after Publishing. Also, the problem only occurs on this particular photo page, the others in the site are just fine. So I recreated the page from scratch and re-published, but that still didn't help. Not sure what to try next. Thanks for your help.

Cabo23:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I see what you mean. The images for the buttons are not located by the page but they still work. Are these special image files you're using or the ones that come with the theme?
You might try creating a new photo page, select all of the photos from the old page and past into the placeholder on the new one. Do the same for the text, copy it from the old and past into the text box from the new. Then publish to a folder on the desktop and see if the buttons are correct. If so , delete the old page, rename the new one to the old name and publish.

Drag and Drop to photo page creates links, doesn't replace placeholders

I searched the discussions for quite a while and didn't find much similar to this topic. Basically, drag and drop is no longer working on my iWeb and my photo grids will not accept pictures to replace the placeholder (sample) photos. I will try to explain the whole problem in detail.
I am a new iWeb user, and I set up a page without any problems at first. Yet when I returned in iWeb to add another photo page today, I have had a lot of trouble. I used the template Photo Page and opened the Inspector and the Media Viewer to drag photos onto the placeholder photos, as the Help pages and tutorials show. Yet when I drag the picture file from the Media Viewer into the photo grid, only a small text box appears that sets up a hyperlink to the photo file on my computer. I've tried messing with the inspector, seeing what the difference is between the placeholder photos' settings and the files I'm trying to add.
The only differences I can see are: in the Link Inspector's pane I can tell the program is at first making a hyperlink to the file instead of displaying the photo (yet disabling the hyperlink doesn't change anything); also,
In the Graphic Inspector pane that appears when I have selected a general area in the photo grid, at the top the "Style" , "Layout" and "Caption" options appear, along with a display of a sample photo style. When I click on one of the rectangles that appears with the file I am trying to drag and drop, I have only the "fill" option, which has "none" selected. Fiddling with the options does not get the photo to appear.
I can see the blue grid surrounding the placeholder photos, so the photo grid exists. I have also tried using different templates' photo pages, but they all have the same problem. I also tried creating an album in iPhoto and importing it to iWeb, but only two photos appeared out of 12.
So the main part of my problem is not that photos don't appear at all (if I try and insert them they appear on their own, completely independant of the template's style and the photo grid)., it is that they do not work with the photo grid and that drag-and-drop no longer works.
Any information that could help is greatly appreciated.
Sue

Susan,
Try out the following things. These suggestions are
sort of the starting point for non-specific strange
behavior in iWeb.
1. Delete iWeb preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences
/"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMedi
aBrowser.plist"
3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk
Utility
4. Reboot machine
5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the
Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original
iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update
directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some
kind of positive results from people having similar
problems.
I am having the same problem Susan described. I've tried #1 and #2 from the above recommendations and still have the same problem of photos not opening in the photo page after dragging them from iphoto. I, too, published a site (not on .Mac, but I don't know if that matters) and now want to add a photo page. Also, the template shows six placeholders, but when I select the photo page only three appear.
Hope you can help. Thank you.
