Photo Album 'Linked' on iWeb..

I'm trying to pre-stage a photo page that I can update and publish after an event with the pictures I've taken throughout the day.
I created two photo pages and a 'home' page. The photo pages have my own custom made 'space holders' currently placed there and I plan on replacing them later with albums from the individual subjects from the event, however during a test I tried placing an album on the page - Now, acording to the instructions from iWeb, once I've done this (according to iWebs own instructions) it should automatically use the first image of the folder as the image on the page as well as a link to a 'new' hidden page that wold contain the rest of the albums images.
When I tried this in practice, it instead drops ALL the images from the folder onto the page and doesn't create these linked pages that the instructions speak of. What am I doing wrong? Is there some step that I'm missing?
Thanks for the help ahead of time...

I think you are mixing up two different things.
If you drag an iphoto album to a regular iweb page, I believe it will make this link and page as you say. However...............

This is how a photo page works. When you drop a whole bunch of photos on there, it fills up the page with the photos.
If you want to use the method you have stated above, don't create photo pages ahead of time. Let iWeb create them for you when you drag the album on another (presumably main index) page.

  • Photo album theme in iWeb that are the same as the old MobileMe wanted!?!

    I really liked MobileMe and made many Albums with specially design firstside photos. That means they are square with four sides equally long. I put down quite a lot of work and now I would like to get hold on a simple, goodlooking theme for photoalbums with an index with square photoholders. That all I want.
    Anybody seen anything like this? Could someone do it or tell how to do it??
    Many Thanx Anyhow!

    Yes, but that´s the very problem - I have downloaded and I have 98 different themes of allready made photo albums for iWeb, and all of them got - as You say - a rectangle frame for the indexpage. That will crop the albums first picture in a very irritating way - specially since I remade all of them to fit in a square (like the MobileMe album had). They worked as a frontpage of the album, with text and sometimes with a suitable frame in the picture. In iWeb, they will all be cropped to a middle section of the square.
    But in the iWeb´s albums next page - usually a kind of a lightboard, showing all pictures in that album - the square format are kept, likewise in following pages, showing a blowup of each photo.
    I think now the only way to get the index to look nice with my square photos, will be for me to add marginals on each side on all the first´s to fill up a rectangle frame. But it´s impossible to do it unvisible. It will be noticed.

  • IWeb 09' photo album page cannot be displayed on IE7/8

    I have created a photo album page with iWeb 09'. Publish to a folder and test on Windows system (IE6/7/8). All photo frames cannot be displayed, but just the title and some text. The page is blank afterwards with background colour only. Firefox for Windows is fine. Anything I can do as there is no other option for export / publish webpage to folder...... thanks a lot.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As you probably know IE is a very poor browser. Roddy has published tips on getting iWeb pages to load more efficiently in IE: http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebandInternetExplorer.html.

  • Adding photo albums to Iweb

    I'm unsure of how to add a photo album to my Iweb. This is what I see. I'm on my About me page. On the right side mac already has 2 photo albums. I don't know how to add an album on there. I read some things in the other discussions about Idisk, but I see NOTHING in Idisk. Where does the photo album come from? Do I create one in Iphoto, save it to Idisk? But then after I save it how do I get it into the About me photo album?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please put step by step in SIMPLE terms! lol.
    Thanks Amanda

    Amanda:
    The photo album comes from iPhoto. In iPhoto you can create a new album, name it and then add photos to it. Once that's done, go to iWeb, open the photo page layout and click on the Media button at the bottom. A new window will open with Audio, Photo and Movies sections. Click on the Photo and you'll seer the iPhoto library icon and any albums below it. Click on the album you want to add, select all the photos in it and drag them onto one of the photo place cards. That's it.

  • Photo Albums not loading within iWeb

    Hi all
    I have put together a simple website, with a couple of photo pages and a page containing six photo albums. I've published the website and all is great.
    However, now I wanted to change some photos of the photo albums (in the photo albums page), but the photo albums pages within iWeb all show up blank (while the other, simpler photo pages load up fine).
    Any ideas, please? The only solution I've come up with so far is to REDO the entire photo albums page, texts and all, but that's a real pain!
    Please help!!

  • IWeb Online Photo Albums

    What am I supposed to do with all my meticulously created online photo albums now that iWeb is going away?  Any suggestions?

    You can find a 3rd party hosting service and move your iWeb sites from your iDisk to it and continue as before.  Of course there will be somethings that iWeb will lose upon moving to a new server and the MMe servers are taken off line June 30, 2012:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.  However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.  Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    There are a number of web development applications out there that you can migrate to once iWeb no longer works or does'nt suit your needs.  They vary in their ease of use and simplicity.  Just search the iWeb community as Wyodor suggested to find discussions on the pros and cons of these apps. We have until June 30th to make our decisions and move the sites.  Lots of time to experiment and settle on an  alternative.

  • Flash Photo Albums

    Is there a way to include a flash photo album in an iWeb site without messing with the html code after the site is created?
    Of course, the problem with that approach is that the html is changed each time the site is republished.
    Thanks.

    The easiest thing to do would probably to link to an external (outside of iWeb) URL where the flash photo album resides. You could have the flash photo albums inside the Sites folder on your iDisk and then designate hyperlinks to the appropriate albums on an iWeb page. I think the hyperlink will be of the format: "http://homepage.mac.com/yourname/photoalbumfoldername/"
    Hopefully this is helpful.

  • Iweb Photo Album vs MobileMe Gallery or...

    ... should I look for flickr or something?
    Hi guys new mac user in every sense...the wife got her Macbook on December and I couldn't resist and got my mine three days ago.
    Guys...I'm creating a website with iweb and although right now does not have a lot of pics, I know it will...so please guys:
    1. If I want the visitors to have a fast access (loading) to the albums...which is the best option? iweb Photo Album or the MobileMe Gallery widget?
    I know that at the end all the pics will be loaded on/from the MobileMe server, but just wanted to check if one have proved being faster than the other.
    2. The other thing I was concern about was of course space..that's why I though about putting all the pics on flickr, photobucket...and then embed an album on iWeb...can I do that?
    thanks guys and please if this has already been discussed please post a link...I did the search and nothing came up.

    hey guys...I found this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10742043&#10742043 Aztian said that his photos load faster using iWeb Photo Albums...it would be nice to have more info...thanks!

  • The removed photo albums in iWeb are not removed from my website.

    I have removed a few photo albums from my web site in iWeb and added none. When uploading the changes to my website it still shows all the albums only the links of the removed albums are not valid any more.
    How can I get the albums completely removed from my site via iWeb?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are hosting your site on a MobileMe account, correct?
    Try publishing the entire site with the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu. If that doesn't clear out the old stuff from your web site try the following:
    1 - close iWeb.
    2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - launch iWeb and and try again.
    Still if not cleared out publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open the local copy with your browser to see if that shows the changes to the site.
    Happy Holidays

  • How can I automatically have my iWeb photo albums updated?

    Thanks in advance...
    I have several iPhoto albums that I've published on my iWeb site. However, I can't seem to figure out if it is possible to have the albums on the iWeb site be automatically updated when I add or delete photos from the corresponding iPhoto album?
    Is this possible to do?
    Dick

    Going along with what Alancito suggested you can then embed an iPhoto MMe gallery into a Web page as shown in this demo page:MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies. I've linked to the mosaic mode of the gallery but you can use any of the modes you'd like.
    Then any changes in iPhoto to the gallery will be reflected automatically in your iWeb page. This method also lets you isolate the gallery from the your other MMe galleries if you'd like.

  • IWeb not seeing .Mac Web gallery photo albums

    I uploaded a photo album created in iPhoto to .Mac Web Gallery. The photo album is accessible on the web.
    When I go into iWeb to put a link to it, I've gone to Insert>.Mac Web Gallery, which is what the instructions say you are supposed to do. However, it says "No albums or movies available."
    I saw Jason's post about a similar issue, but he said his problem was only related to creating an album with Aperture. My album was created with iPhoto, though, and it should work.
    Can someone help me resolve this issue? How can I make an album in Web Gallery available to my iWeb website?

    Having the same issue as use, and I'm publishing my Web Galleries with iPhoto, so no Aperture connection here. I was able to drag the web gallery from the Media window into a picture page, which populated the page with images, but it doesn't act like a Web Gallery connection, because images uploaded to the Web Gallery don't show up in the iWeb version of the picture pages.
    Hopefully there's a solution soon.

  • 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!

  • SEO tool, image tagging-is it possible using iWeb photo album?

    Hi,
    Quaetion as above really, I've recently started to use the Rage SEO tool to tag my website, I came to start doing the images within the iWeb photo album and it cant access these, I read on here(04/09) its because its Javascript, is there a way round this yet, other than creating a html page for each photo myself? With over 100 photos to show this isnt my preference, as there is a lot more work involved in the iweb construction.
    Any help greatly apprected
    Cheers
    Paul

    How long have you waited before trying to find your images? Google can take 2 weeks or longer to list them. Secondly, your images might not return results for thousands of pages depending on the keywords you used. It will also help to submit a sitemap as discussed.
    Your Lightroom keywords are for Lightroom/searching use, not web use.
    There are free photo galleries you can add your photos to and link to from your website, but unless you're willing to get into something fairly complicated, this will not help the search ranking of your actual site (though it may help get the images themselves ranked).
    Another alternative is to create a few separate pages with a single picture on each, a good text description, image name and ALT text, and then link to your complete photo gallery for people to view. This might be worth doing with images which have unusual keywords or phrases (and so people would be likely to return them when searching).
    Getting your pictures ranked in Google image search, whilst useful in some ways, can end up being counter-productive as people are more likely to just grab your image for their own use (or ignore it if it's water-marked) and not even visit your website.

  • How do I get rid of 'add photo' link on published photo album?

    I don't see it on my iWeb file but it shows on my published website on the photo album page: a link that says:
    + Add photo
    Any idea on how to remove that? Thanks!!

    To get rid of the download button, open the Photos inspector and select "Photos Download Size - none".
    This will not stop people from downloading images by control clicking. All this does is remove the convenient button.
