Aperture 3.4 - screwed up web page creation?

I just opened Aperture after taking the upgrade yesterday, and attempted to build a web page form a selection of images (which I have done dozens of times before).
Now, however, when I select a Theme (any theme, it turns out) and indicate to add the selected images to the web page (or journal, for that matter), all I get is a blank page - the "teme" stuff is nonexistant. What did the gang in Cupertino do here? Is there some new setting I cannot find?

What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro? I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
If you are more of a designer, try these:
RapidWeaver
Freeway Pro
Muse
If you want to write web page code, try these:
Coda
BBEdit
Dreamweaver
If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
No program at all.
Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
Squarespace
Wix
The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
Already designed to the latest web standards
Already designed to resist hackers
Already designed to work on all browsers
Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
Already designed for accessibility
Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
Already designed with social media links built in if you want
It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

Photo web page creation

I need some help trying to create a web page of photo thumbnails with blow-up larger images:
1) I want to create a contact sheet type of web page of multiple photo thumbnails.
2) When you click the photo it opens into a small window or "blow-up" version of the thumbnail. (Clicking the thumbnail does NOT take you to a new page with the full size image).
3) The blow-up photo has a circle and X that will close the blow-up window.
I've already figured out how create pages of thumbnails that will take you to a new page with the full size image. I'm trying to create the effect where you never leave the main page, the thumbnails just blow-up into small windows that can be closed again.
Apple uses this effect a lot with photos and movie clips on their page. An example of what I am trying to do can be found on the iLife/iPhoto/MobileMeGallery info page at Apple.
If you look to the right just under the main large banner images, there is a grey box titled "iPhoto Showcase." If you click one of the thumbnails there, the picture blows out to a larger size of the image, but doesn't take you to another page. The blow-up image has a little circle and X at the top left to close the window. Main page is still visible behind the blow-up window.
I'm using a fairly new MacBook with OS 10.5, Aperture 2.0, iWeb '08. I don't have a .Mac or MobileMe account yet. I'm a recent convert from the Darkside, so right now I use google's Picasa Web Albums and google's website creator for my site. If I can get this to work, I'll make the switch MobileMe once the early .Mac conversion kinks get worked out.
Thanks,
TDizzle...

No… no problems at all. I sometimes use my 2405FPW with my MBP and it works just fantastic.

RAW to Jpeg quality looks fine in Aperture not so good on Web page

I am using the latest version of Aperture with the Retina display. The Raw images look tremendous, after I resize the image and save it to jpeg the image still looks good. When I upload to a web page the image looks horrible. There is a lot of noise and the image over all looks blurred. I open it in Aperture and it looks fine. What is the issue? I have tried the different settings when saving the image and nothing works. I have also saved the image in a tif format and still the same issue. Looks great in aperture not so great on the web. Please help if possible.

Your site is likely re-sampling your file, perhaps because it is too large. Ask the Webmaster what size and quality to make the JPGs, and export to that. There may also be a browser issue.
If you provide some details re: exactly how your are exporting, which site you are using, how the JPG is used, etc., someone here may be able to provide additional guidance -- but this seems to be a Web question, as Aperture -- from what you say -- is working well for you.

Web page creation / last edit date

Hallo, germany calling,
Maybe this is slightly off topic, but I can't find a better forum.
All I would like to do is ask a web server the last date that a particular web page was updated/edited/written to.
anyone got any pointers?
thanks
kent

The last-modified field isn't required; i.e. the server doesn't have to send this header. As I said, I tested the second snippet I wrote and had no problem with it. If the server doesn't send this information for your file, I'm afraid you're not going to be able to get the information you're looking for, unless you have permission access to the file via a URI (as in the first example).
Per the W3:
14.29 Last-Modified
The Last-Modified entity-header field indicates the date and time at which the origin server believes the variant was last modified.
Last-Modified = "Last-Modified" ":" HTTP-date
An example of its use is
Last-Modified: Tue, 15 Nov 1994 12:45:26 GMT
The exact meaning of this header field depends on the implementation of the origin server and the nature of the original resource. For files, it may be just the file system last-modified time. For entities with dynamically included parts, it may be the most recent of the set of last-modify times for its component parts. For database gateways, it may be the last-update time stamp of the record. For virtual objects, it may be the last time the internal state changed.
An origin server MUST NOT send a Last-Modified date which is later than the server's time of message origination. In such cases, where the resource's last modification would indicate some time in the future, the server MUST replace that date with the message origination date.
An origin server SHOULD obtain the Last-Modified value of the entity as close as possible to the time that it generates the Date value of its response. This allows a recipient to make an accurate assessment of the entity's modification time, especially if the entity changes near the time that the response is generated.
HTTP/1.1 servers SHOULD send Last-Modified whenever feasible.

KDE 4 and web page creation

The old version of KDE had the ability to create a simple web page. You could open a directory of images using konqueror, click-click-click, and you had a simple web page with thumbnails that could be clicked on to view the full image. I can't find it in KDE 4.
Any suggestions?

Thanks QuimaxW,
No luck as far as I can tell. I have several other distros with KDE 3 on them around but thats a pain. Also have MAC but I dont like the way Iphoto does it. Oh well. Maybe in the future. Thanks for your help.

Keywords not visibles in web pages / Ap 2

It's a real pain to view keywords on web pages. I have a project/album and all photos got keywords (name of the street, city, name of the building, etc...). When I will make a web page using the 'caption&keywords' als visible option on the pages (thumb+large image) Aperture don't work correctly and the keywords are visible only in some picture (3 or 4 of 90 pictures for example) or not at all!
I decided to wait eventually if A. need some time to load all keywords on the web page, nothing...
If I export the versions, slowly one after all it load on the web page the keyword, but only on this situation.
After if I re-open Aperture and click againg the web page icon i see nothing, all keywords blank, no keywords and is impossible to export the web pages until keywords aren't visible in the preview because if I export no keywords are visible on the exported pages too...
HELP...
1. Did I made something worong ?
2. What's the problem, I work so much with keywords and web pages that I need absolutely this feature, did I need to re-isntall the older version?
Sorry for my bad english... hope I was enough clear on the problem explaination...
Julien

Finally some other people got some problems, I was affraid to be the only one having this trouble.
Callie, mmm... strange because all my keywords used on this work using Ap2 were new: I wrote and create from skratch all keywords using Ap2 and I didn't use old one. So I'm a bit lost in this case too...
It seems that Aperture 2 got a real problem with keywords and web pages...

When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bob.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

Using javascript in modified Aperture web page themes

Thanks to the many well-written tutorials on the subject, I've been able to modify an existing Aperture web theme to export customized web pages that have the exact look I'm after. I've successfully copied the Stock theme, edited the detail and journal-gallery html along with the global.css files and merged with a professional template I purchased, so now my Aperture-generated galleries look just like the rest of the pages on my web site.
Of course, there's always a problem:
If I reference any Javascript from the Aperture template files, Aperture EXECUTES the script during the process of exporting the web pages, and includes the result of the Javascript execution in the rendered HTML. It does this IN ADDITION to correctly writing the Javascript reference to the rendered page. The end result is TWO of everything. An example will make this more clear:
If I include the following line in journal-gallery.html:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/sidebar.js"></script>
and the file sidebar.js contains:
document.write('Home
document.write('<'t find a single reference to the use of scripts. CLEARLY APERTURE KNOWS ABOUT JAVASCRIPT AND EXPECTS TO FIND IT BECAUSE IT'S EXECUTING ANY SCRIPT IT COMES ACROSS!!!
The goal of all this, of course, is what any large professionally-done web site strives for: I don't want to re-render all my static content (the photo galleries) every time I add or remove a link in the sidebar. Editing sidebar.js should be all that's required to change the links.
Anyone?

Sorry, I see that the Javascript snippets in my original post are being executing by the web browser when the message is read.
The 2 lines of Javascript, cleverly (ahem) encoded, might be visualized:
document (dot) write ( <html anchor tag>Home<close html anchor tag>);
document (dot) write ( <html anchor tag>Site Map<close html anchor tag>);

Aperture fades away after trying to Export Web Pages...

Running Aperture 3.3.2 under 10.7.4.
I can't give too much detail regarding this issue because it's a very subtle, quiet issue. When I select a set of photos and try to Export Web Pages..., the app quietly "dies," for the lack of a better term.
The UI becomes unresponsive. There is no model dialog box (although my instinct tells me that it's behaving as if there is--I've had issues with other apps in Lion, where a modal will live on a different desktop when the app is in Full Screen mode).
That's all I can say, really. Sorry. When I press Cmd+Opt+Esc, the app appears functional because "The app is not respoding" does not appear next to the app name in the resulting dialog.
When I Cmd+Tab to the Aperture icon, the menu does not display in the Menu Bar. However, if I click on the Aperture icon in the Dock, the menu does display, although no UI elements in the app window are responsive.
Like I said, it's a strange, slow-motion crash. This happens only when I try to export web pages. It seems Apple is being lazy deprecating MobileMe references to its apps as I still see MobileMe referenced in a lot of dialog boxes and in the help system. Maybe it's trying to export web pages to the non-existent MobileMe universe, causing a crash due to a communications error?

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

My Yahoo like Dynamic web page content creation

Are there any methodologies/best practices available for creation of pages like My Yahoo.
Basically, display of page depends on sections chosen by the user for display and inside those sections content is also what is chosen by the user. Page is different for different users based on their options.
Are there any methodologies/best practices available for this kind of work using JSP.

If your ISP don't support JSP / Servlets,
1.use any server side technolgy, something like ASP.
2.Read the files and transform them as Strings (or StringBuffers).
3.Pass these Strings as parameters to the applet (if you are forced to use java technology, otherwise you can do it using ASP itself).
4.Construct the required format (content) in your applet.
Don't forget that the stuff will be in applet but not a complete web page. The ideal solution is asking your ISP to provide JSP engine.

Aperture 2.0 - Editing Web Pages

Could not seem to find a way to create a web page temple for all the web pages we create for our college sports photos pages.
Would like to creat one template, with the same background and text colors, size of thumbnails, logo for the header and text/caption for the footer.
I am quite sure this can be done, just do not see anything that allows me to do this.
Is this something you create in iWeb then save (how/) to Aperture as a temple.
Thx Much to anyone who can help with suggestions.

Hello Jack
I'm sorry for this 'difficult' awnser.
If you go to the Aperture program and choose (right click) 'show content' you can find the Web Page templates in Contents/Resources/WebThemes.
By tweaking these files, it is possible to create your own templates. But you need to know a lot of html. And before tweaking, I advice to make a copy.
I hope this can help.
(nb If you find a way to let Aperture fill the alt="" tag, please let me know.)

Creating an Aperture web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

I have just purchased an iMac 27" 2.7GHZ running OSX 10.7.4 with 4GB RAM (16 GB has been ordered). I am using Aperture 3.3.2. When I attempt to create a web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

I have resolved the issue....turns out that, in my case, running OSX 10.8.1 with Aperture 3.3.2 was what was required! I was running Aperture 3.3.2 with OSX 10.7.x and had this issue.
I hope this helps someone else as well.

Aperture Web Pages

I would like to add a couple of customizations to the stock web pages. They are:
1. Arrow key navigation. Go to the next or previous photo using the right and left arrow keys instead of clicking.
2. Slideshow or automatic transition to the next photo. Preferably this would simply automatically go to the next image after a fixed interval of time, say 4 seconds.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Tom

gvadf:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The gallery templates from Aperture are pretty basic, no frills, fixed information,etc. At least those with the Aperture demo application. The files are conventional html files like iPhoto puts out in the Export->File Export-Web menu option. You could link to the index page for the Aperture gallery from an iWeb page. But you wouldn't have a return link in the Aperture gallery unless you edited the page and put in a link manually.
You could create the pages from Aperture and iWeb by opening iWeb, creating the photo page and then drag the selected photos fro the open Aperture window into iWeb's window. I do that all the time with iView MediaPro. Same would apply with Aperture.
Do you Twango?

Want better web pages - will Aperture work with iWeb?

Slightly disappointed in the dearth of good web page creating options in Aperture (you'd think they'd be better, no?). Can I get iWeb and create web pages using my Aperture photos?

Yes, iWeb can access your Aperture images if you've enabled previous. I tried this and found iWeb's web galleries quite horrid. After experimenting with a variety of options, I settled on customizing Aperture's web galleries and grafting together pages created by the two programs. iWeb works fine for throwing together some top level pages, and you can then hang Aperture web galleries off them as external links. Several folks have posted instructions on how to do this, and one fellow assembled a nice PDF.
