Create a Web Photo Album in DW fails when calling Fireworks
Hi there
I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some hint to what
could be causing this problem.
I recently uninstalled CS3 Dreamweaver and Fireworks (and any
other CS3 products) and installed the trial version of CS4 Master
Suite. Not when I am working in Dreamweaver and go to Create a Web
Photo Album (I do all the same steps I was doing successfully in
CS3) Fireworks goes to work and opens up, the small Batch window
appears for about 10 secs and then the Fireworks program closes
down.
So I uninstalled Fireworks and reinstalled (thinking I had
installed it badly). But the same shut down occurs. Has anyone
experienced so or have any ideas on what I should try to rectify
it.
Note: I made sure that all previous versions were cleaned off
my Mac before installing the CS4 package.
Thanks
PhillipI have a similar problem. I have DreamWeaver8 and installed a
demo version of Fireworks. Fireworks works fine when I just want to
open an image to edit.
However when I try to create a Photo Album I am prompted to
install Fireworks. I have 21 days left in the trial version.
thank you

Creating a Web Photo Album on Dreamworks CC
I used to often use the create web photo album command in DW 3 regularly to build image pages with thumbnail links but this function has dissappeared from the new Dreamworks Creative Cloud. I've read that this function has migrated to the new Bridge application, but am unable to get an output tab. I downloaded the adobe output module and added it to the Bridge extensions workspace folder and that disabled Bridge from even opening. Nothing I do seems capable of bringing the the output tab from its hiding place and I'm deeply frustrated by the labryinthe created by the lack of that simple create web photo album command. Are there other solutions that adobe expects the new version of dreamweaver to offer in the place of this handy tool?
DW isn't a photo gallery creation tool. There are much better options available for that.
jQuery Fancybox,
jQuery Cycle,
Lightroom,
etc...

I have Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks CS3. I am unable to create
a Web photo album in DreamWeaver because I get an error saying that
Fireworks 4 or greater is required to create a photo album. I have
the full version of Fireworks CS3.I have upgraded to DW Studio 8 from MX2004 and have a similar
problem...it's inconsistent though. Sometimes I am able to create
the web photo album with no problems. But tonight it balked and
balked and balked! I wound up opening up DW 2004 and FW 2004 and
created the photo album that way and somehow it linked back to the
DW 8 site. Is there a way to prevent this conflict??
Help! -
I'm trying the 30-day version of Fireworks CS3 for two
reasons: First I want to more easily create my web photo albums,
and second, I want a graphical navbar with some elements having a
popup menu.
The issue I'm running into when I use the "Create
Web Photo Album" command from within DW CS3 is that the
resulting images get renamed to have a suffix of
"_jpg" added. I HATE that! (This means that an
image called "name.jpg" gets changed to
"name_jpg.jpg". Redundant, to say the least.
How can this be controlled? If I use FW directly to optimize
an image, this renaming doesn't happen, so I'm guessing this is
something that DW controls. And I'd like to override that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Eldor - MontrealNO! It's not that easy! Have you actually tried the advice
you just gave? That'll break the whole routine!
(Folks, whatever you do, before attempting ANY modifications
to this file, MAKE A BACKUP!!!)
You need to make changes in several places and everything
must remain in sync - don't forget that this routine also writes
the html table code to display both the thumbnails and full-size
images and the href and img src references must point to the
correct files! If you remove the references to .jpg the resulting
html tables will NOT work! And the files will probably be wrongly
named as well.
Proceed with caution!
I'll see what I can do about documenting what I did - I'm new
to javascript but have many years of higher level programming
experience. The first thing I did while going through the code was
to put in comments explaining what certain parts of the code did,
as I figured them out. And then with great care, I made my changes.
By the way, Notepad certainly works for this, but it's a lot
easier to use Dreamweaver itself or (what I did) the Adobe
Extendscript Toolkit 2 that was included with my CS3 package. It
makes it easier to visualize the blocks of code and how everything
relates. And the find/replace dialog is superb.

Open .js with notepad, in notepad press CRTL-F, type ".jpg"
in the search box, press the "find" button twice, change the ".jpg"
word to "" (nothing), do that to the third, fourth, and fifth ones
(there're only 5 ".jpg" words found in the .js file, don't change
the first one).
Then search "_", change all of that "_" to "" (don't change
the ones that contain a letter between "_")

Editing a Web Photo Album Created With Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3
I created a web photo album with DW CS3 and FW CS3. I want to
add and delete some of the photos in the collection. So far, the
only way I have been able to do this is to recreate the whole thing
from scratch with all the correct pictures in the target folder. Is
there an easier way?I could be wrong (we only test Adobe widgets for the quality
of their output
code, not for features, or lack of features) but recreation,
as Patty said,
might be the only way. If you have a development budget, you
might want to
take a look at some commercial tools that would have the
features and
capabilities you want or need.

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a script that
simply doesn't seem to want to run properly for me on some images.
When I run the command from Dreamweaver to create a web photo album
all starts well for the first couple of images and then comes up
with the error "could not run the script. This command requires an
active document". Has anyone had this problem, some images it is
fine with but others I just can't get it to work on. Has anyone has
this issue before? Is it related to file sizes? All of my images
have been saved in exactly the same way so there should be no
issues with some and not others.
Any advice would be much appreciated.You do need to have saved the page before you start. Although
you sound like
you may have other issues.

Create Template for Photo Album Pages
I'm starting a project that involves creating a Web photo
album. However, there are special formatting rules I need to
institute for the individual pages I create in the photo album. Is
it possible to create a template for these pages (the pages you go
to when you click on the thumbnail on the contact sheet) rather
than going in and applying css files and other items after they've
been created?
Any help is much appreciated.Photo gallery makers.

Web photo album - source image folder empty
I am using Vista and CS4.
I am trying to create a web photo album.
When I select Browse in the Source images folder, and navigate to my image folder (which has over 60 jpeg images in it), the dialog box in Dreamweaver says the folder is empty.
I tried to save the photo as other formats, gif, png, etc to no avail; it still says the folder is empty.
Can anybody give me something to try?I create photo albums and the only thing I can suggest is when you get to the folder, you have to open the folder, then it will say SELECT at the bottom of the window. If you upgrade to CS5, Create Photo Album has been removed for some reason.

What identically replaces CS 5 "Create Web Photo Album"?
I have one web site that is using the Dreamweaver CS4 "Create Web Photo Album", however now that I have upgraded to DW CS5, "Create Web Photo Album" is no longer available. I know you can use Bridge but I need an identical layout of the photo album that was in CS4 to match the others. Any ideas here?
I can't speak for Adobe since I'm just a plain old end user of their products just like yourself.
I do know that Adobe never remove features without having a good, hard look at what they're proposing to remove and getting feedback from users about how it's used and by how many people.
However, in Adobe's eyes, legacy features such as web albums (there since Macromedia days I believe) are clearly more suited to Bridge rather than Dreamweaver.
When they transfer features to different apps, it is rarely a seamless change so you won't get identical results at the pixel level.
When you're upgrading, everyone focusses on the new features. It's also wise to check what has been changed or discontinued before upgrading. Sometimes you'll find yourself in the unfortunate minority which relies on a given feature that apparently (according to Adobe) few people use but those that do think it's an important feature.
Having said that, Web Photo Album in Bridge is excellent from what I can see. Perhaps try it out and see what you think. -
Wanted to Edit "Create Web Photo Album" template
I'm using MX2004.
I've recently done a major, major overhaul on a website I
manage. We use the "Create Web Photo Album" (not an extension - the
one that came with DW) extensively, but with the new design, the
basic photo album template isn't going to cut it. I could probably
sit with it myself and drop created photo albums into a template
page and make it work, but I'm not the only one doing photo albums
and some of the other people aren't the most... technically
competent.
What I'd like to do is somehow edit the template that
Dreamweaver uses to create the photo album so that it looks like
how we're wanting without any post-album-created-action.
Is this possible? Is there an extension that'll work for this
as well? (Looks like the Exchange is currently down, so that isn't
helping me in my search.)Get the free extension "Create Web Photo Album 2" from Adobe.
It has many
pre made templates plus instructions on how to create your
own.

Problems creating web photo album
Hi, I've been creating web photo albums in CS3 using Fireworks over the last five years. The last album I created was in February 2012
http://www.classictennismatches.net/images/index11.htm
However, I have been trying to create a new album since Saturday and it wont work, the thumbnails nor pictures are just not been retrieved from the parent folder on my computer and I just get the page created with thumbnails not manifesting or collected in the images folder. I always have Fireworks opened before creating the album.
Does anyone have any ideas why I am not able to create proper photo albums all of a sudden? Any help will be appreciated.You have provided no information about what you are doing

Create Web Photo Album Problem
Please help!!!!!! I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite CS3 so I
have all the programs loaded on my computer.
I have been working on this for 2 days and cannot get this
command to work. I have 15 folders of pics that need to be put up
and I want family to be able to click on the thumbnail and open up
to a larger pic. There are over 100 pics in there. I loaded all the
pics in their own folders; I have tried jpg, tiff, jpeg, psd and
gif pics; (I separated them by file name so there are none mixed in
the folders) I put the pic folders inside my web page folder, then
I tried it on my desktop and I tried to use My Pictures folder.
This is how I am doing this:
I have the index.html page open on Dreamweaver CS3
I hit Command > Create Web Photo Album >
fill out "Photo album title:
fill out "Subheading info:
fill out "Other info:
In the "Source images folder:" when I Browse I go to the
folder and
I click on it and when that opens there are no pics in there.
Nothing shows up at all.
I finish up the rest and an error message shows up "An error
occurred".
Anyone know what I am doing wrong????
