Aperture Web Gallery & .Mac

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or on the .Mac site. I'm not sure where the problem lies. I have four web galleries from Aperture uploaded to my .Mac account. They range from 6 to 15 "screen" pages of content.
One of the web galleries has started to skip a page:
http://homepage.mac.com/kazmos/Individual%20&%20Team%20Photos/
It, and all the others, was working fine. However, the above site has stopped showing page 5. I can scroll through or click on "5" directly and nothing shows up. This just started happening. It was fine last week.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Well, it sure seems like page 5 is empty - no source either. You could go into your iDisk and check on the file size to make sure it is not empty:
iDisk/Sites/Individual & Team Photos/index5.html
If it is, perhaps try deleting it and then re-generating the gallery?
It's odd that the page would go empty without you touching it.
If the page is there, perhaps check to make sure it is not locked (though you'd think it would be readable even so).

How to include Aperture web gallery in dreamweaver site

With the demise of mobile me I need to find a way to keep my personal website photo albums (web galleries) that I currently publish via Aperture web gallery and then use a hyperlink from my Dreamweaver web site. This means visitors can view the photo's from a link button but the actual images they see are Aperture Web Galleries. This method has worked for me for a while now.
I know you can save a complete web gallery from Aperture onto a local drive rather than upload to mobile me. Does anyone know a beginners (ie me) guide to include that Aperture web gallery directly into a Dreamweaver site?. It feels like it should be possible but can't find any help.
thanks in advance.

Hello Peter,
What I do, to link my Aperture galleries to my iWeb pages, is to export the galleries from Aerture to my disk and then to upload them using ftp to a folder at my web hostings service. Then I link the iWeb pages to the gallery using link button or string. I use the free FTP program CyberDuck http://cyberduck.softonic.de/mac to copy the gallery using ftp. If your web hosting service allows ftp transfer, you could do the same. CyberDuck is really a smart little tool, but any program that allows ftp transfer would suffice.

Aperture Web Galleries, .Mac and the new iLife '08

Was anyone else as dismayed as me to see that the fantastic new Web Galleries that unify the new iPhoto with .Mac don't appear to work with Aperture.
This clearly is designed to drive us Aperture users to remain dependent on purchasing iLife, even though most of us are moving away from (or have moved completely away from) needing iPhoto. To be honest I really don't need any of the iLife suite now that I have Aperture.
But I want/need that great looking Web Gallery (notice that it shares the same name as an Aperture "feature" - which looks dreadfully boring when compared to this product).
As someone who has paid the Premium for Aperture and .Mac I really think we deserve to have at least an equally attractive product that integrates smoothly with .Mac.
Yes I know I sound bitter - and here is why - Had I bought my MacBook Pro today and not seven days ago I would probably have a copy of iLife '08 available to me free.
But alas there are no upgrade coupons anymore so I probably need to stop complaining and give Apple more cash.

I'm in the same boat - jonesing for those slick iWeb galleries but not able to get a decent workflow from Aperture through iWeb. The inability to get ANY metadata out of Aperture and into an iWeb photo page - do they really think we're going to retype 200 captions? - is very frustrating.
I was going to see how much of the iWeb gallery functionality could be cloned back into Aperture templates, but that is probably ambitious - to say the least - given the currently rudimentary state of my knowledge of HTML, CSS and Javascript.
Is this indeed the case? I was wondering if iWeb 2.0 picks up any of the metadata from Aperture previews to automatically caption and title images. The example galleries look pretty slick, but I'm not going to re-type all of my captions.
See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5541992#5541992
Currently, I design the backbone of my site in iWeb 1.1, create an image directory by pulling in photos through the media browser, and hang Aperture galleries off those photos as external links. I modified the Aperture web gallery template to give a link back to the iWeb pages.
Did you develop this technique yourself? Can you share more of the details (here or elsewhere)?

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.

Aperture web gallery - how to link back to main page from iWeb?

Okay, this may be simple, but I can't figure it out.
I created and uploaded a few web pages with iWeb to my dot.Mac account (web.mac.com/f8lee50) just to get a feel for things. I then created a web gallery with Aperture and uploaded it - naturally Aperture generated a URL for the gallery, which I set up as a link on my "Photos from Hawaii" page (the link is the word 'this' in the second paragraph, if you wawnt to look).
Okay, so this gets me from the "photos from Hawaii" page to the gallery, and within the gallery I can jump to the various images etc. But how does one navigate back to the "Photos from Hawaii" page from whence they came? Is there some sort of smart link that can be inserted (by Aperture?) that will send the viewer back to the main homepage? Or are the Aperture galleries essentially dead ends?

Richard, thanks for responding - I'll check that tutorial.
And thank you for the kind words, me100finn. I have not played with any variables as far as layout on the gallery (I did a bunch of stuff with the books, but the web gallery seems far less flexible) so I cannot answer your wuestion about the gray shadows.
Steve, thank you for the additional clarification (and the hint about spaces in URLs) - I guess what this all boils down to is that the web galleries from Aperture are not all that useful when they are meant to be a part of a bigger overall site. I'm not sure of what you meant when you say they have little forward or backward navigation in them - at least you can click on a thumbnail to get to an image, click next or previous or the grid to get back to the thumbnail galery. But, 'twould seem that hand coding HTML pages (the very thing I was hoping to avoid) is the only way to really integrate them. Given that, I gues the better approach will be just to use iWeb to load the images anyway.
Well, folks, thank you all for your answers. Until I do a re-do, I guess the back button is the way to go (which, for the record, I did sorta figure out myself

Aperture web gallery not displaying properly in browser

I've created a web gallery, which looks fine in Aperture, but when I view it from my .Mac site, the thumbnails are shifted to the right, rather than being between the title / page selection and the footer.
This is the same when viewing the gallery on my Mac using Safari, and also Windows machines with Firefox etc.
Is it a problem with the template?

I had the same issue. Even recompiled the web page with smaller jpgs but once again the body was off to the right and the header was on the left of the page. I'm using my laptop with a 19" external monitor, when I'm viewing a website I'm using the entire width of the external monitor... maximizing screen size. When I pulled the bottom corner to make the web page smaller, the body of the web gallery dropped below the header and looked just like it should normally. Hope this helps.

How can I create a link to an external site in my aperture web gallery?

Very keen to add a link to my main home page so people can go from my web gallery at www.smartstreets.eu back to my home page at www.smartstreets.co.uk
Anyone know a way to do this?
Also wondered if I can change the font, size, format (eg bold etc) in the theme I have chosen .. this seems to be set and cannot be changed.
Any ideas? Any places I can try for great third party web gallery themes? Thank you!

I don't know how to accomplish this when using Aperture's built-in web gallery feature. My suggestion may help until you find out how to do that. I suggest buying iLife '08 and using iWeb to create your web galleries. The iWeb media browser shows your Aperture library and albums so there's no need to export-import. You do need to generate previews for photos to use in iPhoto. iWeb is much more powerful than Aperture's gallery layout tools, plus there are many themes available. Think of iWeb as an export plugin for Aperture.

Difficulty using an Aperture Web gallery with Iweb and custom domain

I am not using a .Mac account. I do however, use Aperture to create web galleries. I cannot get Iweb to link to all my Aperture web galleries. Aperture web galleries create index.html files. When I link to a file called index.html nothing happens. Can someone please help. Thank you. Tom

You need to use the entire URL and have your folders already uploaded to your server.
Syntax would be something like this:
http://myserver.com/foldername
Since index.html is default you can leave it out of the URL.
I don't use Aperture so I don't know the method it uses. I would suspect it allows you to name a folder for the files and inside it is the index.html file and maybe a folder of images and other support files.

Aperture Web Gallery Help

Now I know I just got the program, and feel I am fairly savvy when it comes to figuring out programs and such. But IS THE ANYWAY TO PUBLISH A WEB GALLERY TO ANYWHERE BESIDES .MAC IN APERTURE2?
I just can't seem to find the right answers anywhere else online... So forgive my ignorance but please help...

This topic has been discussed quite a bit here already.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6779280&#6779280
The short answer is no.
Much of the functionality is server side.
You can put web pages and web journals on your own server though.

Aperture Web Gallery - Adding Shopping Cart

Hi,
If I am using the Web Gallery feature in Aperture to create sites and I want there to be an add to cart button on each "large image page" (the page that appears when you click a thumbnail), how can I edit the template that Aperture uses to create the site so that it includes this add to cart button?
Where are the templates stored?

How to load an Aperture web gallery to .Mac?

I have tried following the instructions in the Late-Breaking News bulletin to no avail. I think it would help if I understood what I'm trying to do. I clicked on "Publish to .Mac" and after some minutes the gallery appeared to be sent somewhere but I don't have a clue where. Could someone explain to me in clear English what happens in the process of publishing to .Mac? Then maybe the instructions will make more sense to me.
Thanks,
John

John,
The address can be seen under the "Publish Album As" name in the dialog box after you click "publish to .mac" button.
For example I want to "Publish Album As" Gallery1. The address will be "http://homepage.mac.com/username/Gallery1"
You could also group your Aperture created galleries by adding a directory when you assign "Publish Album As"
For example you want "Gallery1" to publish to a directory called "aperturegalleries". Simply type "apperturegalleries/Gallery1". The address will then be "http://homepage.mac.com/username/apperturegalleries/Gallery1"
Hope this helps,
Edwin

Dotmac published web gallery not showing up.

So I have now created 2 web galleries through Aperture 2. One shows up the other does not..
The URL it should be at is http://gallery.mac.com/cbchev68/100191 and it should be called Sushi Hunter.. The other one that is showing up is called Northwind Charters.
Im guessing there is some software bug here. If I go into Aperture -> Web Gallery -> Sushi Hunter. Then in the main window choose Web Gallery -> Visit Web Gallery, it opens Safari with the above URL and I get an error that the gallery does not exist.. What is even more interesting is that if I go into Aperture preferences, web gallery, it only shows the one gallery that actually shows up on the doc mac servers. I have to assume it is querying the dot mac servers for this data, as there is a 5 second lag or so before this list is populated.
Its as though Aperture created the web gallery, but then never actually uploaded the images..
Anyone else seen this?

Well its definitely a software bug, I just created another new album with a slightly different name and it looks like the photos are now uploading and properly showing up.

Adding a link to web gallery

hi, i have an iWeb homepage that links to an aperture web gallery. is there anyway to put a link in the aperture web gallery that links back to my iWeb homepage? thanks. (running aperture 1.5 if that makes any difference)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have managed to open the page in an html editor, but unfortunately, to keep the style constant, it means a lot of futzing around, like changing the page settings. Also, it is very difficult to get rid of the default underlined text, as I am not all that familiar with complex css coding and the way some of these html editors work. It is easy enough to just type the text in the main thumbnail caption block which is relatively easy to do, paste the link into the inspector of the html editor (I used Adobe Golive) and change the page settings so the text matched nicely.
I would much rather Apple do a revision on Aperture to include this possibility as a metadata object (or am I missing something!)
I must say that 1.5 is a great improvement, and I have begun using the application in earnest. I love the nice clean style sheets, and also the way the pages are numbered, and the data generated for the web is compact.
Good one, Apple

Web gallery use vs iWeb photo page

I really like the quick layout of the gallery. Would I be saving more iDisk space by using the Aperture Web gallery vs iWeb photo pages?? My guess is yes because I can control the size in page/detail and more when I save to my .mac. The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages.
My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture. This allows flexibility in adding/removing the galleries if space becomes an issue. I dont have much in iWeb so far and it takes a really long time to load as it is. I'd hate to bog down more with photo galleries.

hello, me100finn
quote: "The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages."
You can always manually make a link to the other web pages which is what I do.
Just a few more added features to Aperture Web Gallery and Web Journal like an advance option feature to view & change the CSS or source code (without going to GoLive or Dreamweaver) or something along the lines of "would you like to add a link to another url?" would be tasty.
quote: "My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture."
Yup, my thoughts too. Maybe version 2 (i hope). I'm making the site first in Aperture (the heavy lifting) and then making minor additions and tweaks in GoLive.
To do this add the image, select it after the export in a wysiwyg html editor and point it to the proper linked url.

Syncing with web gallery

Hey,
I was wondering if there is anyway to turn off syncing. I want to delete an "event", but i want to keep the album on my web gallery (.mac). If i delete my "Event" will it also delete my album on .mac ???
Is it possible to transfer photo albums to another mac and have the web gallery sync with my other mac? Or do I need to delete everything, and re-upload everything?

Back Up and try try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
