Photo page and slideshow

is there a way to make the slide show automatically appear when a viewer clicks on the album instead seeing all of the pictures first?

You can't because the slideshow gets the images from the photo page and require photo page to be opened while the slideshow is playing.
And the only way to have auto slideshow is to disable browser popup windows (most people do block popup)

How to publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb

Is it possible to (or how do you) publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb created either in Aperture or iPhoto?

Here's an example of E Books. They're created in iWork and loaded into iWeb as a compressed PDF for download. The photo of the front cover is used for the link.

For a larger file, you can upload it to a folder on your server and create a link to it from your website.

I tried to publish my project of 2 html pages, 3 photo pages and one widget page (map) to ipage hosting site. the two html pages published and that's all. Help.

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? Also try publishing the site to a folder on your hard drive and use the free FTP client Cyberduck to upload your site. It's been known to work when iWeb's ftp client has failed.

Can you skip the photo page and have slideshow instead?

All of us have been looking for ways to cover up the download link on the photo page, or remove the subscribe link. I'm not all that happy with the fact that apple didn't change the layout on the photo page very much. The whole thumbnail thing really looks outdated, even with all the shading and border possibilities.
Has anyone figured out a way to bypass a photo gallery page, and go straight to the full screen slideshow? I would much rather have that as my default photo page.
Thanks

1 - you can not change the photo frame size if that is what you are asking
2 - you can enlarge the photo within the frame by selecting it and using the slider above the frame
3 - you can use a different page layout -- or even theme -- see Liz Castro's web site for examples of all available layouts for each theme -- http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/

Photos page and anchors

Hi, everybody--
Let me start by saying that I have searched these forums for information on anchors. I have seen the solutions put forth by Old Toad, Wyodor, & Cyclosaurus, plus I have Cedric's iWebFAQ.org eBook & have read the chapter on anchors.
My problem is with the Photos page & how it generates anchors. The first photo is #0, the next is #1, and so on. There's also a #grid anchor.
I have added a lot of text above my Photo grid. (This is because if you put text below the grid, then click one of the photos to see it bigger, the grid does not push the text boxes down on the page and so the photo displays on top of the text. Not good.)
When I click on any of the photos, let's say the 3rd photo for example, the address bar changes to <MyURL>/PageName.html#2. That's good; that's what's supposed to happen.
The problem is that the page reloads up at the top, and the user must scroll down to see the photo. (This is true no matter which photo is selected.) Once the user scrolls back down to the photo, they can click on other photos and the page stays there; it's only the first time they click that this happens.
In trying to solve this problem, I have tried all of the solutions listed above. None of them seem to work for the Photo anchors. At first I thought it was because the navbar is #0 and that was forcing the page to go to the top, but that can't be it because it doesn't matter whether you choose the first photo (#0) or the last (#65, in my case); the page always goes to the top.
Can anybody shed any light onto what is actually happening & how it might be fixed?
Many thanks.

photos page functionalities controlled by a hosts of ajax/javascript widgets.
the first ajax widget populates photo grid with thumbnails, data are from photos page rss.xml .
three other widgets set up the thumbnail strip, the detail view (slideshow place holder) and caption, prev, next controls.
everything described above is on the same page.
photos page anchors are not ordinary anchors, they are used to turn on/off different elements (on the same page).
when you click on the 3rd photo, one piece of javascript turns off the the photo grid and another turn on the 3rd photo in detail view... in the process, the page view is reset to the top.
so, by know how to get to detail view in DOM; you can scroll to that section using Scriptaculous Effect.ScrollTo method: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/Test/Photos.html
you are on your own, because I no longer post code in these forums.

Photo sharing and slideshow

In February I am putting together a giant national meeting with about 20 people being flown in from all over the place. One of the learning and development activities that I am putting together is a scavenger hunt/photo challenge situation. Basically each time they complete a challenge, they have to take a photo. They are in groups of 4 and I am expecting that at least one person in each group will have an iphone.
My thoughts are that one member of the group take the pictures on their phone. When the scavenger hunt ends, we will all be having dinner at our bosses house around the corner. My boss wants there to be a slideshow of all the pictures taken during the scavenger hunt. I found out that my boss has a Samsung TV. My question to you is…what is the best way to do this so it is quick and easy? I will have access to an Ipad if necessary. Also, if I wanted to take pictures with an actual camera, how can we integrate those photos as well?
I think I heard something about a shared album on iphones but I think that is only available if we are on wifi and I don’t know if Chateau Ste. Michelle winery will have wifi (that is where the hunt will be).
I can't spend any money on accesories. The process needs to be free. What are your thoughts?

No, you can't link the photos or it's caption on a photo page. They are created by javascript. The transparent shape is your only option which, as you know is fragile at best.
I would take the time to add the photos to a regular page, size them using the Inspector/Metrics pane to the same size and link them. You'll have a much more stable and cross platform compatible page that way.

Create a photo page and have the photo's link to other internal pages

really basic quesiton, sorry but I can't do this for some reason. I created a photo page that is going to be a menu page to link to some internal pages. for some reason the Enable as a Hyperlink is greyed out and I can't click on it to make the image a hyperlink.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks

What you need to do is place a shape over the top of the image, then using Inspector, Graphic Tab give it an Opacity of 1% then you can make the shape a hyperlink.
The imageholders on the photo page cannot be used as hyperlinks.
Alos you must giv ethe shape an opacity of at least 1%, if you try 0% it will not work.

HELP!!!! All my photo books and slideshows are GONE!!!!!

Ran iPhoto 6 on my iMac, and to my horror, found that all my photo books and slide shows (I had tens of them, almost as many as I had albums) are gone!!!! No, I didn't backup my iPhoto library.
Is there any way on God's green earth to restore these? I worked hundreds of hours on them!!!!

Celeste:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First try launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options, ignoring the one regarding orphaned photos.
If that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a fresh library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the Tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Old .mac photo pages and new iweb pages

I have photo albums and movies previously published on a .mac homepage. I also have new photo album pages published through iweb. Are the two connected or related in any way? Do I just have to republish the old pages through iweb, or should they be linked or transferred. Is there any published information about this stuff anywhere?

Sure you can. You can provide links and redirection html pages back and forth between .Mac Homepages and iWeb pages. WillG4PB has put together a nice tutorial that I will refer you to...

Iweb photo page and pay pal buttons

could someone tell me how to alter or change java so pay pal buttons go away when someone clicks on picture to enlarge or goes to slide show? cyclosaurus gave to example web pages that it can be done, but no explanation on how to do it.
Thanks , wish I was smarter. Tom

Hi!
I had this issue about a month ago, so scheduled an Apple One-to-One session, which easily solved the problem. You cannot use the iWeb "Photo" page template if you want to add a Paypal button. As much a pain as it is, you must use the iWeb "Blank" page template.

Digital Photo Frame and Slideshows?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a digital photo frame that could play a slideshow created with iPhoto (or iDVD), including transitions, Ken Burns effects and music.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Any photoframe that can play .mov files, because that's the only way to get a Slideshow out of iPhoto - by using the File -> Export command to make a Quicktime Movie.

Posting photo album and slideshows.

Hi I am having issues viewing my slideshow once my site is published. I have used Cute FTP to upload to my domain name. Anybody know why the slideshow isn't working?
Any help would be great!!!

Does the slideshow work when you open the site locally on your HD? If so then it's the uploading that's causing the issue. Try using a 3rd party FTP client likeCyberduck (free) or Transmit (easy to setup) and upload the version on your HD.

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.

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.
