Web Gallery uploads not updating iPhoto?

Okay, maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that when people upload photos to my web gallery, iPhoto then downloads those photos into its own copy of the web gallery the next time it is run.
I have a web gallery that started out with 79 photos. A friend of mine uploaded 37 photos, bringing the total to 116. Unfortunately, the only place this is confirmed is in the title of the web gallery when viewed on the web. It says (116) right after the title. The number of actual pictures displayed on the site is still 79.
Curiously, after updating the web gallery on iPhoto, the number increased to 80 from 79, but the web site still shows only 79 photos.
Any ideas? Do I have the concept of web galleries wrong?

In my case, web gallery albums to which people have tried to upload pics show in parens double the number I've uploaded via iPhoto, but none of their photos show up. I, and my friends have conducted many tests now and it seems no photos larger than 380K will upload from the web. No error messages, the little green arrow appears as if everything worked fine, but no pics show up.
I've provided feedback and emailed support and tried phone support - no glory - ah well, maybe an update is in the works - would really like to hype that feature.

Save web gallery uploads locally

Hi gang,
I'm not sure about how the Web Galleries work. Friends have uploaded photos to my Web Gallery, and I can see them in iPhoto, however, I am concerned that I don't have a local copy. I've tried dragging them from the Web Gallery into my main iPhoto library, but it is not clear if there is a local copy or not. If I delete the photo from the Web Gallery, is it gone or do I still have a local copy?
Cheers!

Hi Damian,
I do the same manner as you. Then I say that "export is not save", I say that an export it not re usable in Lightroom. So If you don't base your gallery on a collection (but just some selected files) and a saved customed template (with your own title, description, ...), if you find an error in your picture legend, for example, you can't regenerate you gallery. You have to re select your pictures, choose the same template, re type the title and the description, ...
If the only manner to keep these informations is the "add" a new template, is the name "template" really a good choice ? For me, a template is something re usable. In this case, I don't think that I will have more than one gallery whit the same title and description ! So if a custom template was called "Gallery" ok. And in this case, pictures used must be saved too !
Yesterday, I made 5 web gallery for my site. I begin by creating 5 collections. After that, I go in the web module and I create 5 custom template (same parameters, just other title and description) and I export these 5 galleries.
When I surf into them, I found that the pictures (not the thumbnails) where to small. So I have to modify this parameter in my 5 templates. And regenerate them :
- go to the library module
- select a collection
- return to the web module
- select the template
- export the gallery
5 times !!!
Not so logical, isn't it ?

Lightroom 4.1 flash web gallery does not work in 32 bit Internet Explorer 9.0

I have a web site with a Web Gallery I created in Lightroom 4.1. . The Web Gallery will not work in the IE 9.0 32 bit browser. It does work in the IE 9.0 64 bit browser. Also, all other flash material seems to work fine in my 32 bit browser such as Youtube and other flash sites material. I have a flash menu created from another product on my web site which also works fine in the 32 bit IE browser but I cannot get the Lightroom Flash Gallery to work in this browser.
Any suggestions?

I am not sure to know where I can do this ...
is it this ?: I selected all images
unfortunatly result is the same ...

Lightroom3 web gallery will not load

Lightroom3 web gallery will not load.I get this message: An error occurred sending the file : the server could not be found

One of the usual factors is the use of windows servers...these have problems with bin folders. Check what your server runs..if it is windows then get a different service.

IPhoto 08 Crashes during Web Gallery upload

I have been having trouble uploading a second Web Gallery to my .Mac website. iLife 08 installed fine and I was able to upload one Web Gallery but I have attempted to upload another and each time I upload the crash occurs.
There is approxmimately 400MB of photos and movies taken with a 7.1 megapixel Sony camera in this Web Gallery (all imported from camera using iPhoto). I don't think that 400MB could be consideredn as being too large that it causes this problem.
The biggest pain is that after the crash the whole 400+MB of photos have to be uploaded again from scratch, nothing is saved on the server. Is it possible to allow it to save uploads as they progress so this doesn't happen?
TIA

D2C:
Yes you can. Go to iPhoto's Preferences and in the Web Gallery section you can rename the gallery title.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Scheduling of Iphoto and Web Gallery Uploads

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an app or built in functionality in iPhoto that allows one to schedule when photos can be uploaded to the MobileMe web gallery? I don't want to do this whilst I'm working on my PC and will rather tell it what to upload and then schedule the upload for later the evening when I don't use my Mac ...
Any ideas .. ?
Thank you,
E

There is not - you can suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
For now just do your gallery changes last thing before you quit for the evening

CS4 Web Gallery, Uploaded gallery does not appear

I was wondering if anyone can help me with the Web Gallery that Bridge CS4 produces.
I have used Bridge CS4 to create a web gallery. After Bridge has finished creating it the result is a folder called Adobe Web Gallery. Inside that folder is an index.html file and a folder called resources. If I double click on the index.html file the web gallery opens in Safari (Mac). So all is good so far, it tests OK from my hard drive.
Then I upload it to my ISP server using Fetch, as I did when using the Photoshop CS3 web gallery automate feature, which is upload the index.html file and the resources folder with all of its content into a folder on my isp members area. I then create a link to the index.html file. When I try the link it produces a blank page in Safari called " Adobe Web Gallery", and the rest of the page is blank.
When I upload the files with Fetch I copy the exact structure as they appeared in the folder on my hard drive. I have tried to upload the gallery directly from Bridge CS4 but Bridge does not seem able to create a connection with my ISP.
In the meanwhile I am still using Photoshop CS3 to do my web galleries, I 'd just like to get the CS4 version operating as it looks like a better product.
I am using a Mac Pro Quad duo 2.8 with 4 G Ram.
regards
David

Try it this way:
Re-name the folder called Adobe Web Gallery to a name which is more appropriate for its contents; then upload the complete AWG Folder, with all of its contents, to your ISP Server.
Now create a Link (with an appropriate label) on the main index page (Home page) on your site and link that "Link" to the index.html in your new Gallery folder.

Bridge Web Gallery Photos Not Loading

Just upgraded from CS4 to CS6. I had been using the Create Web Photo Album command in CS4 which of course is no longer available.
So, opened Bridge and created an HTML Web Gallery. The HTML Gallery looks great and when I open it with DW locally it works fine in preview mode. After uploading the gallery to the server, the gallery page layout is there but the thumbnails don't load. Page is functional and when I click on one of the thumbnails its large pic page opens but again the pic does not load. The images, both the thumbnails and large images, upload OK and are present on the server.
Here is a link to the album page:
http://ashlandhiking.org/badlink.html
I also tried two other gallery formats; Standard and Lightroom Flash. Both of these worked fine after uploading. So it appears to be a problem associated with the HTML gallery. I tried changing the page doc type to HTML 5 and HTML 4, to no avail.
Please help. Thanks.

It's funny: I had just posted to someone else that they should update to 7.1 to get the web gallery to upload. I didn't realize I was not up all they way myself. So now I'm at 7.1.1.
Problem was, I still had upside down photos.
So the work around I employed was to export the edited photos out, delete the photos within iPhoto, then re-import the edited photos back in. Ah, now they show properly.
Not my favorite solution, but what are you going to do?
I still suspect there might something within the web gallery functionality, which wants to upload the Originals and not the Modifieds. Thoughts anyone?

Web Gallery upload

I enabled the setting "Allow visitors to upload photos" on my Web Gallery to test this feature. When I navigate to the site, I can access the Upload button and everything seems fine on the browser end. The files get "uploaded", but when I return to the Web Gallery or iPhoto, the photos do not arrive.
I've also tested the add by email feature, and that works just great.
Anyone have answers or similar problems?

Web Gallery, Photos Not Correct Rotation

I'm playing around with three photos and uploading them to a web gallery. Problem is, when I see them in Safari, the photos are upside down, which is how they were after their initial import.
In the web gallery project in iPhoto (7.1), the photos have been rotated to display properly, but after the upload, no good.
I deleted the "bad" web gallery, and started over. I've also done a rebuild of the iPhoto library. Not sure what else to try.
I would suspect that the web gallery is drawing from the Originals folder within the iPhoto Library. Sound reasonable?

Web gallery still not working.

The web gallery feature is still non-functional. I used to use it all the time. Suddenly a few days ago I noticed that it simply does not work anymore. I highlight and event, click web gallery, it creates a web gallery in the left sidebar of iphoto. The little progress circle turns for about 15 seconds, then suddenly the web gallery from the sidebar disappears and it as if I never clicked on the web gallery button. All my old we galleries are gone. I tried deleting iphoto prefs and deleting to _gallery folder from my idisk. No luck. When I try publishing a movie in iMovie to the web gallery, everything seems to proceed correctly. It compresses and uploads. The when I click the link provided, I get Apple's version of error 404: no such website.

Ben:
See if you can upload a file, any type will do, to the Sites folder on your iDisk via the Finder. I had a similar problem. When I tried uploading a file to the Sites folder or any of its subfolders I would get an error message. I reported it to the iWeb and .Mac feedback sites. It went away for a while and then came back that same day and then went away. Apple did get back to me and checked my account. They reported all was well. If you do get an error you may have a similar to mine but one that's not correcting itself. Report you problems to:

Web Gallery - Upload from web page doesn't work

I've created a web gallery with upload permissions set, no name or password, and none of my friends or relatives can get anything to successfully upload.
I'm using iPhoto 8 version 7.0.2 (341) to build my web gallery, but uploading for others just doesn't work. They get the dialog to enter their name and email, they can choose images, they get the progress window, then nothing. I've deleted the gallery and rebuilt it, I've renamed it, I've looked in my _gallery folders on iDisk, and so no, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
Anybody know what's up with the Gallery?

I've not used the upload but some have reported that it does not work BUT that uploading via e-mail does work -- give the e-mail route a try as a work around and report the problem to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback

What happened to the Web Gallery list in my iPhoto 08 sidebar?

I posted a web gallery yesterday. It's visible online, but no longer listed in the iPhoto sidebar (along with albums, events, etc.). Is this right or has something gone wrong?
I'd like to have it back so that I can invite others to come view the gallery without having to go online to do it.

what version of iPhoto are you running? There have been many fixes to web galleries and there still are some issues to be resolved - in versions before 7.1.2 web galleries were pretty flaky
7.1.3 still have some issues but many less
One suggestion is in the future make an album of the photos you want in the web gallery and do all changes there then publish that album as a web gallery - making changes to a published web gallery while it is updating (and you can not easily control this) still seems to cause problems

Lightroom Crashing on Web Gallery Uploads

Is anyone else experiencing LR crashes while trying to upload web galleries? The program completely shuts down and has to be restarted. I've removed the library.plist file and still have issues. Any suggestions? Sometimes the galleries will make it up before the crash but only about 20% of the time. All of this began after the LR 1.1 update.

In my case, web gallery albums to which people have tried to upload pics show in parens double the number I've uploaded via iPhoto, but none of their photos show up. I, and my friends have conducted many tests now and it seems no photos larger than 380K will upload from the web.

Aperture Web Gallery Uploaded to .Mac Site, can't find

Well, I uploaded my web gallery that I made in Aperture by clicking on the upload to web gallery button in aperture. It loaded them to .Mac but it's not like iPhoto 08 where you can easily find the gallery and email it to friends or change anything. It just dumps them online, and gives a url, but it doesn't link to your .Mac page under web gallery and so if you don't copy and paste the url that aperture gives you after you upload, then your screwed. I know the url, but my question is:
How do I put up a web gallery like they do in iPhoto 08, where I can just click a button and email the gallery, or email it, change the page, and all that neat stuff that Steve Jobs did in his speech? Do I have to get iPhoto in order to do all of that?
Thanks,
Lainey

Yes, it's an iPhoto '08 feature that they were demo'ing, not an Aperture feature.
(See the many other threads here on this very issue!)
