Button destinations (Photo page)

Similar to Bill Hamilton's question about auto-starting the slideshow, I would like to be able to have the album already opened when the photo page is loaded. I notice that in the browser window it reads "photos.html#0" when the album is open. Is there any way to make this the destination of the photo button? And if it is possible to change it, will the photos page still load? I'm using iweb '09.

You would have to create your own text based hyperlink menu and point the photos link to the URL of the page or window you want. If the window you want doesn't have a tool bar at the top go to Safari's View menu and select Toolbar. This will add the tool bar and URL field where you can select the URL to use for the text hyperlink. This step if needed if you want to send viewers directly to the slideshow of a photo page.
This demo page has an example of a user created navigation bar. You can get additional information on user created navbars at http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_FAQ.html.

Paypal Buttons on Photo page.

I have inserted paypal buy buttons on my photo page in hopes that someone will buy some prints however...when you click on the photo and it brings you to the large view the buttons are still there. Is there a way to either make them dissapear, or move to the bottom?
Thanks
Shawn

You used web-widget to insert the code.
The problem is any code inserted with web-widget is not applied to the page itself, but the code is applied to other pages and linked to your page using iframe.
The problem is discussing here:

Buttons appear as Question Marks in Photo Page

Hey all,
I've been having this problem where buttons (Start Slideshow, Email Me, and Made on a Mac) show up as Question Marks on one of my Photo pages (titled "New Photos)
Follow Link below:
http://web.mac.com/adventurestorys/iWeb/Site%201/New%20Photos.html
In the past I've been able to make a small change to the page and re-publish which corrects the problem. But this one is stubborn. Any advice?
Note that I have already tried the "Publish all to .Mac" and that didn't help. And I do Empty my Cache in Safari after Publishing. Also, the problem only occurs on this particular photo page, the others in the site are just fine. So I recreated the page from scratch and re-published, but that still didn't help. Not sure what to try next. Thanks for your help.

Cabo23:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I see what you mean. The images for the buttons are not located by the page but they still work. Are these special image files you're using or the ones that come with the theme?
You might try creating a new photo page, select all of the photos from the old page and past into the placeholder on the new one. Do the same for the text, copy it from the old and past into the text box from the new. Then publish to a folder on the desktop and see if the buttons are correct. If so , delete the old page, rename the new one to the old name and publish.

Buttons in my photo page are showing up as "blue question marks?

When I updated my website last night, the arrow buttons in my photo pages show up as blue boxes with question marks in them. This has never happen before. All of the images are fine, text is fine, even the numbers for the various pages of the photo album, just the "arrows" have the little "?" symbol. I have restarted the computer, refreshed, reset Safari, emptied the cache and nothing seems to work. I had a second party look on their Mac if it was the same on theirs and it is too.
I am posting to a server (not using mobile me). Any suggestions???

Publish to a local folder and launch this version in the browser by double clicking the index.html file.
If this is OK it means that you haven't uploaded all the files to the server.
If its not OK, try deleting the iWeb preference file before the restart. See "Fix iWeb" here....

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.

Iweb photo page subscribe button

How do I get the subscibe link to stop working on the photo page of iweb? I only want to allow people to see what is posted, not my entire photo collection on my computer.

In the inspector, choose the Photo tab (That's 2nd from the left, sunset and tree).
You have a lot of options there, and under 'Photo's just unclick the 'allow visitors to subscribe' box.
You should also set 'download size' to 'none'
Hope this helps.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Can a Photo page be used as thumbnail links to movie pages?

I've made a photo page with say 20 or so photo thumbnails. I have made separate movie pages for each movie. Dragged each movie page link to the related picture on the photo page and sized the button to be the same size as the thumbnail image. Checked that the button is linking to the correct movie page.
In iWeb, when I "make links active", everything works properly. But once it's uploaded, the thumbnails/buttons, when clicked, open up a new browser window with just the jpg thumbnail.
Any ideas to get this to work? Or do I have to start over, and lay it all out maually?

I think the problem may be related to the Photo page template. When you click on the thumbnail, I think there is some built-in functionality to open a new slideshow window or something.
Instead of using the Photo gallery template, try using a plain page...one of the templates with as few elements as possible...maybe the movie template. Then manually add your movie thumbnails and size them to your liking. then add the hyperlinks to your movie pages to each thumbnail. I think you might find that this works better.

Sharing a photo or photo page on Facebook

Is there a way in iWeb to have a "Share on Facebook" button on a photo page (or better yet, an individual photo)?

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

I added a photo page in iweb to my site. I don't want to see the tile of images at the top when I enlarge one image.

I added an additional photo page to my site. When I click on an image to enlarge it, I automatically see the tile of images above. I want to change the tile button to white.

you can hide thumbnails row by:
1) double click on any thumbnail to get to detail view.
2) click on the thumbnail button to hide it

Trying to figure how photos "travel" from iPhoto to my iWeb photo pages

Greetings,
I have I believe gotten t understand just about all I need for now about building web sites with iWeb and its templates (for now). Works well. I am publishing to my .Mac account (for now).
Now, I want to fully understand how photos albums/pages are kept up/coordinated, on my computer, on .Mac Gallery and on the actual .Web site (on .Mac)
Here what I have done so far in regard to posting and upkeeping photos (works well!):
Selected pics from iPhoto >>> Made albums on my MBP
Published Albums on Web Gallery
Built website with iWeb
Built photo pages/my album page (indexing)
Inserted my Web Gallery albums into my website
Published the whole thing on .Mac.
My questions:
*1. Somewhere in Tutorials, it says that: "with .Mac Web Gallery, you can get the shots you wish you had by allowing friends to contribute photos (from their browsers, email). And, whenever new photos are added, they are automatically sinced to your iPhoto08 library".* I am assuming same should/would happen when my iWeb site viewers upload theirs pics (which I am encouraging!) to my Web galleries via my iWeb site. I do not see that happen however. Web gallery gets of course updated by such uploads, +but NOT iPhoto library.+
2. Some other iWeb Tutorial states *"If you are a .Mac member, you can publish photos/movies from iPhoto and iMovie directly to your Web Gallery. When a Gallery photo album is updated, your website is updated automatically with the new content."*. In the case of my site viewers' uploads to my gallery, works OK, but +my site's pages do not show the new photos.+. Any way to better coordinate my .Mac Web galleries with my (also) .Mac Web Pages?
I hope this is clear enough. I have LOOKED for some more info/tutorial about iWeb/Web Galleries/Viewer photo uploads from my Web site, but have not founded anything specific.
Thanks for any advice!
- Roger Y

_*Thanks a lot, Wyodor for your detailed reply.*_
It just happens that I have gotten quite fond of the way iLife as a suite - along with its online (.Mac in my case) components) seem to keep a good, purposeful flow of things going.
So, indeed, as I am currently looking at the stuff on my .Mac site, Web GAllery and My Pages respective materials are not actually linked in terms, especially, of allowing Web Gallery albums' updates to "flow" into My Pages areas.
Too bad in a way! Unless I decide to use the Widget feature in iWeb to link my website photo pages specifically to Web Gallery albums - as suggested by Roddy. Currently I use iWeb template system - with Photo Pages and MyAlbums index.
You stated:
+"Your iWeb page shows the tiny player with your dotMac Webgallery.+
+Click on the tiny player, and the full Web gallery opens."+
Where is that button actually?
"Your iPhoto library will be update updated vice versa."
I'll have to check that out then!
Thanks again!

IWeb slideshow from photo page doesn't work

My photo page works OK when clicking on a particular picture, then using "next" & "previous" buttons".
When clicking on "play slideshow", I'm greeted with "WE'RE SORRY, but we can't find the iWeb page you've requested"

This is covered in the User's Guide, page 94.

How can I create only thumbnails photo page without larger photo

Is there a way to create photo page without the larger photo?

I wonder if you can use a photo template page to drop your photos into and then just leave off the slideshow button. I wonder if that will disable the click to enlarge photo function or if it just affects the slideshow stuff.
Otherwise, you could manually make your thumbnails page...like a contact sheet.
1. Use something like iPhoto to export photos scaled down to thumbnail size, like 100x133, into a folder on the desktop
2. Drag and drop thumbnails from this folder into iWeb using blank template page.
3. select all the thumbnails, open up the Inspector ruler tab, click on "Use orignal size".
4. Arrange thumbnails in desired order and position on page.
This is a complete manual job. I don't know if there is any other way besides disabling the slideshow function. I would probably live with the "click to enlarge" function over making a contact sheet by hand.

Slow loading of photo pages ~~ reason why ~~

I've been looking around some of the threads on this problem. And here is the horror story I have found.
When you load a photo page it not only downloads the thumbnails but also the full size image as well!! So the web page loads all the thumbnails and all the larger copies, come on Apple!
Safari activity monitor window for the photo page load.
http://web.mac.com/molestrangler/.../CIMG2846.jpg
http://web.mac.com/molestrangler/.../CIMG2846_1.jpg
The thumbnail 'CMI2846_1.jpg' is only 14.8 kb but 'CIMG2846.jpg' is a massive 115 kb. The total kb of all my thumbnails is 295.3 kb, now add the total of the full size images of 2302 kb.
Now these larger images should come down after all the thumbnails have loaded and the main page has been built. I cannot say this is a good approach because if you click on a thumbnail before all the larger images are downloaded the larger image does not appear if not downloaded though the photo page cuz it's not in the Safari cache...doh!!!
When you click on an image it not only loads the image you want to see but the image before and after for the slideshow. But you clicked on an image and not the slide show button...doh!!
It also loads the slideshow.js and transitions.js, this should only happen when you click on the slideshow button...doh!! I assume this relies on all the images being in the Safari cache, if not then the slideshow is likely to fail.

Who in Apple has this bright idea...it maybe works ok on their lab LAN but in the real work people do not have the luxury of such connections to the Internet.

It sounds as though you may have quite a few photos stored in your phone and the devices 32 Mega Bytes of RAM is struggling to cope. I would consider transferring some pictures to a PC for safe storage to give the phone a bit of breathing space.
All the best.
