Changing thumbnail image orientations in photo page

Hello Guys!
I have created a new photo page in iweb09 and tried dragging some images from the image folder on my system. The Problem is i have few portrait oriented images but all of them display as landscape in the thumbnail gallery. The flip option in the inspector does not solve the problem too.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do those photos display correctly if dragged from your HD into a Safari window? If not use Xee to losslessly rotate the photos and then add to iWeb's photo page. See if that won't produce correct thumbnails.
Or import those photo into iPhoto which will create a rotated modified version and thumbnail and add that to iWeb via the Media Browser.

Changing Thumbnail Image Location

Is it possible to change the location of the thumbnail images on the enlarged photo page (second page in on the Photo Page)? By default they reside horizontally above the enlarged picture. I would like to move the thumbnails vertically to the left or right of the picture.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No. That being said Cyclosaurus has posted numerous javascripts to modify iWeb in a number of ways. He's posted a script to remove the thumbnail strip from the photo page: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8318600&#8318600 .
I've not found any scripts to move the strip to the side.
However, it can be done with java based slide shows like those shown in these demo pages which has a variety of configurations available:
SimpleViewer
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
Jalbum - there are over 100 skins/themes for this application, many of which will have what you want.

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?

I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.

Adjust inline styles to suit your needs.

Change thumbnail image on device rotation in custom store

We have a custom store front that is populated on loading the page.
we use sample code from one of the store building examples.
that code has a methods like getPreviewImageHandler and loadPreviewImage that take a boolean to select either the portrait or landscape image for the store view.
but this method is only called when the page loads.
so if we want to use the portrait image on portrait view pages and the landscape image for the landscape view, we'd need to reload the page on rotation which we dont want to do.
does anyone have any ideas or examples of how we could dynamically swap that image out on device rotation.
The Wired magazine does it beautifully, so it must be possible.
there must be a AJAX solution.
Can anyone help us out please?
much appreciated,
Vauneen

You can set a "poster frame" in Quicktime when the file is opened in Quicktime Pro and I believe you can do that as well when using Get Info (not a Mac guy). Otherwise this is entirely arbitrary. Sometimes it's the first frame, sometimes the middle, sometimes one from the 10 minute save chunks AE uses when writing certain clip formats. Still, even if there is a poster frame it doesn't mean that it's actually used anywhere. This stuff simply is not standardized and latest when you open your files on another system all of this may be for nought since the thumbnails would not be in your system's folder view caches. You really should not spend too much time thinking about this and rather use tools that produce persistent thumbnails within their own ecor system like Bridge or video archival database programs.

I cannot enlarge or change thumbnail images on ebay regardless of what browser i use ff and ie . Im using window 7

I think i have tried everything that has been posted on chats and on mozilla help . I just cannot enlarge an image or change the thumbnail view on ebay items. People state that if they use IE it will work . Well I cant do it in IE either . I tried chrome also same . Everything else on ebay works fine. I have emptied my cache, made sure java is enabled, I uninstalled adblock plus ? Nothing seems to work . Im not sure when this started . I think it may hav been when i updated to the newest firefox?, but some say it it is ebays new format that is causing the problem in firefox, but again they also say that if you use another browser you will be fine , and that is not true in my case. ......Any suggestions would be appreciated . I am not a computer expert by any means so please explain it like im a 7 year old.....Thanks

I had precisely this problem and even though I updated Java to the current version it persisted. I solved it by checking the add on Java Console in the brower and I found that I had two - an earlier version was still there as well as the current. I uninstalled it and everything worked perfectly.
In FF click tools, add ons and then scroll down and see if you have two Java consoles and uninstall the one with the lower version number.
there is great feeling of achievement when it actually works!!

Is there a way / script to change an image in all master pages of files in a InDesign book

I have about 30 InDesign Files that are contained within a book. I am looking for a simple way to replace a logo in the master files without doing it one by one. Is there a script or process to do this easily?

Master pages can be synchronized through the Book panel.

What determines whether or not a thumbnail image of first page of PDF is shown in Win. Explorer

In the bottom details pane of Windows Explorer, the PDF can be shown as either just a PDF icon or a thumbnail image of the first page of the PDF.
What aspect of the PDF file determines what is shown, and how is this changed (if possible) in Acrobat?

Neither PDF (the file format) nor Acrobat / Adobe Reader are involved with the "preview" an OS file browser might provide. When present it is provided by the OS. To learn more about the whole thing some web searches will yield a generous population of links to information.
Be well...

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.

Image Orientation in Blog and Blog Summary

Inserted a picture into a blog entry and rotated it 90 deg.
In the blog summary, on the summaries page, the image reverts to its original orientation.
Can't see a way to change the image orientation on the summary page, which would be undesirable anyway - don't want to have to edit two pages for every entry.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Are there any solutions?
Thanks

I played around with the orientation manually, and found that if I change the orientation, the image would be correctly "orientated' in the lower part of the split viewer, but the actual image would be off by 90 degrees. I then reoriented the image back (sideways view in the bottom file-strip) and the large image would display correctly again, and, the bottom image corrected itself to the normal orientation. So, by changing each sideways image 90 degrees once and then back again, seems to "fix' the issue. Still not sure how I applied this feature.

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/

How can I create a jpeg thumbnail image?

I'd like to create a clear jpeg thumbnail image of the first page of a document created in InDesign. It will be used in Constant Contact as a link to the online version of the document. (Constant Contact doesn't take JPEG's)
I especially need help making it crisp and clear.
Thank you!

And there will be occasions when it's not better, and there are alternative ways to get better results.
You may not have tested every situation and font, but I've done enough to know that sometimes it doesn't work as expected. And it wasn't a "challenge", it was an observation.
Here's 3 ways to make a JPEG - and the one that is the best is the one that was exported to PDF and then opened in Photoshop and then Saved as a JPEG.
.........Direct Export .........................Export PDF................................Export PDF
.....to JPEG.from ID.....................Open in Photoshop.............Save to JPEG from Acrobat.
(EDIT - The forum is adding extra compression to the images - I assure you the middle image is the best)

Can't drag images into new album page

Just started using iWeb because it seems easy to produce good looking basic pages. I may be missing something obvious, but having trawled all through this forum and iWeb help, I can't work out why the album page won't accept images dragged from the iPhoto tab of the media browser.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the prompt reply Mr Old Toad. In fact, despite the title of "Album Page" seeming to be self explanatory (usually the case with Mac software & why I love it so much) and the software instructions which say "Drag photo and movie pages here to make them accessible from one place", this time I have discovered by messing around that you have to add a "photos" page while the Album page is selected on the left. You then drag the required images into the photo page (not the album page). Each additional photo page added appears on the Album page as it is added.
One of the first methods I tried was to create an album in iPhoto and attempt to drag that into the album page. Didn't work, hence my request on this forum. So, looks like I answered my question myself. I still appreciate your diligent attention to this forum Mr Old Toad. I'm sure there will be a future problem that may not be so easily solved and that your or another's suggestion will come to the rescue.
Thanks

How to randomly change an image upon refresh?

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)

OT ~ I've experimented with the different themes, but stopped short of publishing - so I can't help with that. The makers say: +"To integrate a banner on a page you simply paste a code snippet that BannerZest has automatically prepared for you. Nothing could be easier."+ ...It sounds like you would disagree.
