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.
You may have seen this support page already, but in case you haven't:

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.

Photo Page, Add albums, creates new "Album Pages", style?

Working with iWeb09, I created a single photo gallery page, then I drop in an album from iPhoto, looks and works great. I edit the resulting page and it looks great, but when I add another iPhoto album, it creates a new photo page automatically. How can I get that page to look the same as the previous pages? It seems to default to the template default.

ADDENDUM: This might work but may be more effort than just editing the layout.
1 - select the page that the album creates and duplicate it (select and type Command+D) - Page A
2 - add the new album.
3 - go to the new album's page - Page B, select and copy the thumbnail box.
4 - go to Page-A, click on the thumbnail box, select all of the photos in it and delete.
5 - Do a paste to bring in the new photos from B.
6 - delete page B and rename A to what B was named.
7 - change any text boxes as needed.
8 - select the image for the second album, go to the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink and link it to page A via the Link to one of my pages menu.
Sounds like a lot but may be quicker than modifying the layout each time. Or not.

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.

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

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.

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.

Create a photo page and have the photo's link to other internal pages

really basic quesiton, sorry but I can't do this for some reason. I created a photo page that is going to be a menu page to link to some internal pages. for some reason the Enable as a Hyperlink is greyed out and I can't click on it to make the image a hyperlink.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks

What you need to do is place a shape over the top of the image, then using Inspector, Graphic Tab give it an Opacity of 1% then you can make the shape a hyperlink.
The imageholders on the photo page cannot be used as hyperlinks.
Alos you must giv ethe shape an opacity of at least 1%, if you try 0% it will not work.

Drag and Drop to photo page creates links, doesn't replace placeholders

I searched the discussions for quite a while and didn't find much similar to this topic. Basically, drag and drop is no longer working on my iWeb and my photo grids will not accept pictures to replace the placeholder (sample) photos. I will try to explain the whole problem in detail.
I am a new iWeb user, and I set up a page without any problems at first. Yet when I returned in iWeb to add another photo page today, I have had a lot of trouble. I used the template Photo Page and opened the Inspector and the Media Viewer to drag photos onto the placeholder photos, as the Help pages and tutorials show. Yet when I drag the picture file from the Media Viewer into the photo grid, only a small text box appears that sets up a hyperlink to the photo file on my computer. I've tried messing with the inspector, seeing what the difference is between the placeholder photos' settings and the files I'm trying to add.
The only differences I can see are: in the Link Inspector's pane I can tell the program is at first making a hyperlink to the file instead of displaying the photo (yet disabling the hyperlink doesn't change anything); also,
In the Graphic Inspector pane that appears when I have selected a general area in the photo grid, at the top the "Style" , "Layout" and "Caption" options appear, along with a display of a sample photo style. When I click on one of the rectangles that appears with the file I am trying to drag and drop, I have only the "fill" option, which has "none" selected. Fiddling with the options does not get the photo to appear.
I can see the blue grid surrounding the placeholder photos, so the photo grid exists. I have also tried using different templates' photo pages, but they all have the same problem. I also tried creating an album in iPhoto and importing it to iWeb, but only two photos appeared out of 12.
So the main part of my problem is not that photos don't appear at all (if I try and insert them they appear on their own, completely independant of the template's style and the photo grid)., it is that they do not work with the photo grid and that drag-and-drop no longer works.
Any information that could help is greatly appreciated.
Sue

Susan,
Try out the following things. These suggestions are
sort of the starting point for non-specific strange
behavior in iWeb.
1. Delete iWeb preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences
/"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMedi
aBrowser.plist"
3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk
Utility
4. Reboot machine
5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the
Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original
iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update
directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some
kind of positive results from people having similar
problems.
I am having the same problem Susan described. I've tried #1 and #2 from the above recommendations and still have the same problem of photos not opening in the photo page after dragging them from iphoto. I, too, published a site (not on .Mac, but I don't know if that matters) and now want to add a photo page. Also, the template shows six placeholders, but when I select the photo page only three appear.
Hope you can help. Thank you.

How do I create photo page with blow up images on click?

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, iPhoto and iWeb '08. I also have Aperture 2.0. 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,

That's the effect that I'm looking for. I've read through the instructions on Cabel's website (thanks for the great links!) But I'm afraid I'm still a bit of a novice with website creation and editing. I liked your iWeb examples, so I have a few follow-up questions about how to integrate this with iWeb.
1) Do you use iWeb and .Mac/MobileMe to publish your site? I already own a domain and have been using google's online page creator tools to create some very basic pages. For picture pages, I just put up links to my Picasa web albums. But the google user interface and options (no FTP upload) are even more limited than iWeb and .Mac. With 20GB of storage, plus the other features and ability for integration, MobileMe sounds enticing for the price.
2) At what point do you add the code to the pages in the edit and publish process? What are the exact steps you use to publish? (Create and edit in iWeb, add html code, publish to folder or publish straight to .Mac/MobileMe, etc.)
3) If you make changes to pages in iWeb, do you have to keep adding the code to the pages and repeat the steps from above question?
4) What app do you use to edit the html code? No html edit function in iWeb, so I tried opening the "page.html" files in TextEdit but the page just looked like a web page. No code. How do I get the text of the html code to open in TextEdit or another app?
5) Do the lines of code (2 lines in "head" and 1 line in "body") need to be added to every page that I want to use the effect?
6) How do you upload the two FancyZoom folders to a .Mac/MobileMe account site? And where exactly do they need to be placed?

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.

I cannot print a document I created on the Beta of Pages through iCloud.

I have an iMac Mid 2007. I have installed OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10.l I created a document on Pages, and was unable to access it. I accessed it via iCloud, the Beta Version of Pages, and was able to edit it. Now I cannot print it. Any suggestions?

When you installed Pages v5, it automatically moved the older Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09 folder. If you want normal comment interoperability, you are advised to resume using the older version of Pages. Newer, is certainly not better with Pages v5.

I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

That assumes two things:
1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.
