Displaying metadata on Mobile Me Web Galleries

Is there way to control what meta data is shown in Mobile ME Galleries. For example I would like to have captions shown in the galleries, but currently only shows master file name.

Haundd
After logging into your Mobile Me Gallery, underneath each picture there is a file name, if you double click the file name, you can type in whatever caption you choose....... clicking away from the picture then saves it. But the length of the caption is limited.
You could also try Batch Changing Metadata....
1. In Aperture, select the project, from the project list (or one already listed in your Mobile Me Gallery) in which you would like to edit the Metadata (caption) for your picture's, in your Mobile Me Gallery.
2. Then go to Metadata,(between "stacks & Window"... not in the project panel ) from the list choose > batch change.
3. From the batch change list, where it says "Version Name Format" by default it says "Current Version Name" Click the small down arrow and select "Custom Name With index"
4. Type in your caption where it says "Custom Name"
5. Click ok and that will batch change all the captions in your project. Re Sync with your MM Gallery to update.
When you enter a title in "Caption" in the IPTC capture field, this doesn't change the "Version Name"
The Version name ie: 802K2102 is the file name that is allotted to your picture upon import.
You could, upon initial import, type, for example "Africa".... in the version name field, and all the pictures would have "Africa" instead of 802K2102.
These are work around's.... but if you wanted to have each individual photo, in a project, with a different caption across hundred's of photo's....... Not too sure how you would achieve that, or even if it's possible... I would like to know if it is.... :o)
Hope this is helpful..
Regards.... W....

Mobile Me Web Galleries Mass Uploading

I'd like to upload many of my Events as separate web galleries onto MobileMe. However, it appears I have to individually click the event, click MobileMe, wait for the Publish box to come up, then click Publish, at which point, it goes to that MobileMe album, so I have to go back to Events.
Is there a simple way to select a group of Events and have it make them separate MobileMe Web Gallery Events (same content as original Events) in one fell swoop?

No. You might be able to create an Automator workflow for that or write an Applescript to do multiple ablums in succession.. Since the process can be so very CPU and resource intensive it might not be a good idea. Send a feature request: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

Aperture web galleries:How to get rid of metadata?

Purchased Aperture today, and consequently a novice. I like the web galleries
created within Aperture, but would like to have the webpages show up without
any metadata/dates/info. Where is the setting/pref for this?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

with the gallery album selected, click on the little
tag icon with the capital T in it ...
that brings up a drop down ... select none and make
sure at the bottom it says enable plate metadata ...
the opposite disable plate metadata means it is on
and you need to disable ...
easy as pie ...
Actually I spoke too soon...I followed your directions, and the thumbnails are fine, but when opening the individual images in the browser, the **** data is there again. Must be something I am missing. Selected 'none' and 'enable metadata'. Is it a bug or is it me?

How to customize flash-based web galleries?

Has anyone here figured out how to customize the CS4 Bridge flash-based web galleries? Specifically, I'd like to be able to add the "description" line from the metadata to an image, without having to add ALL the metadata (as a couple of the galleries allow).
Seems like such a simple thing. Can't imagine why Adobe didn't add it. It is standard in the older HTML gallery templates.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Barring that, does anyone know of a second-party flash photo gallery that allows for information this information to be displayed?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

Aperture 3 and iPhoto web galleries...

Hi Folks,
I have used iPhoto and want to shift to Aperture 3. I have the 30day trial installed and have imported my iPhoto library successfully. iPhoto events, photos and albums are shown in Aperture Projects but I cannot see MobileMe or Facebook albums that were uploaded and displayed in iPhoto.
How am I able to import these web galleries into Aperture 3?
Martin Fuggle

I figured out the mobile me galleries but not FaceBook.
First you need to create at least one new MobileMe gallery from within Aperture.
Go to the MobileMe galleries in Safari. Click on the "adjust settings" tab and it will ask which app you want to sync with. Obviously, select aperture and hit publish. You need to do this for ALL the albums individually.
Done right? I thought so.
I opened Aperture and the albums were still not in there. Go to Aperture preferences and to "Web" there you click on something to the effect of check for new published items. Click to check now.
Voila.
If you figure out the facebook albums let me know. I am guessing those are not possible to do.

Ampersand in Title/Caption for Web Galleries

You probably all know this already, but I didn't...
I've been getting to grips with the
Sean's tip for formatting captions in web galleries, including
Matthew's Slimbox gallery. As you'll see in the thread linked above, I had some trouble initially using it with Slimbox, but I thought I'd got to grips with it until...
A title for one of my pictures was "Beer & Blues". By that I mean the Title field in the Library module, as distinct from the Title field in the Web Module.
In Flash galleries it works just fine.
In the LR HTML (and Slimbox) galleries using an & in the image title metadata field can cause a variety of symptoms including:
- just displaying a blank background and never getting round to rendering the gallery when Web module is selected
- replacing "Custom Settings" next to the Title/Caption radio buttons in the Web module with "Edit...", consuming 100% CPU, displaying the rainbow spinning beach ball of death, and taking several minutes to return
- apparently working but obstinately refusing to acknowledge any edits made
There appears to be some interaction between this behaviour and using the <ag:formatted> technique, but I'm struggling to pin it down.
All of these symptoms disappear by using either "and" or "&" in place of "&".

Sean,
I'm sure you're right and that's what's happening. I have no excuse for not realising although I did track it down by a process of elimination.
Anyway I know
i now!

Frustrated with web galleries

I think I'm about ready to install Gallery on my website and forget about LR's web galleries. I want such simple changes to the defaults, but it seems to be impossible.
I want HTML galleries, not flash. The HTML galleries have the "title" on top and the "description" below the pictures. I thought I could live with this, but I use this as a title and more info. My own eyes were hopping back and forth from top to bottom. That is just unacceptable. The flash galleries, however, have the two together, not separated by the picture.
Forgetting about LR's galleries would also allow me not to have my various metadata fields all mushed together. LR allows you to select multiple items to put into the "description", but no way to format them. Yes, I can put commas, but there are often empty fields, and then it's a mess.
I don't like the font sizes either, but I can fix that by changing one .css file after creating the gallery.
I tried to take the xslt and and xml files extracted from the module, but more files are needed and I don't know which or exactly how to configure them. Even more frustrating because I have found the lines that need to be moved/modified.
I've found descriptions for starting from scratch and other people's flash galleries, but not how to twiddle with the existing galleries. Such small changes I want to do!

Me too. I'm taking a different approach to things, though. Rather than
creating a gallery that produces lots and lots of identical pages, each
containing different images and indexes and so on, I'm working on a gallery
that doesn't produce any HTML at all (or, rather, produces very basic HTML
so I can see the images in the Web Gallery Preview). Instead, I just let it
produces the XML file describing the images and (of course) the image files
themselves (in three sizes: thumbnail, display, and full). I've written a
JSP-based application that can read the XML file and produce the appropriate
pages (that is, I'm treating the XML and image files as a database).
The benefit of this is that if I want to change how my site looks or
behaves, I simply change the JSP and *all* of my galleries change
instantly - I don't have to go back and regenerate them. This also frees me
up to use any technology I want to for the display (right now it's HTML,
since I despise Flash, but if a new tech comes along, I can easily adopt
it).
The downside is that I can only put my site on a JSP-capable server. Most
people don't have access to those (because most ISP's only provide straight
HTML and maybe a few canned scripts), but anyone who can put JSP on their
site could probably use this. In fact, I imagine a similar system could be
written in PHP (perhaps that's what Gallery is - I've only glanced at it),
ASP/.NET, CGI, or any other server-side language.
If anyone is interested in learning more about this, I'd be glad to
open-source it when it's ready (or share ahead of time if you're willing to
take an unfinished project). I don't get to the forums as much as I'd like,
so email me: my first name AT my last name with an "s" on the end DOT com

How can I add captions to CS4 Web Galleries?

I need to create an image slideshow on a website, something I have never done before, and Bridge CS4 seems to offer a useful selection of Web Galleries. However, the standard Web Galleries only seem to display the filename (whether you like it or not) and do not appear to offer any captioning facility.
Am I missing something? Without the ability to add my choice of multiline captions, the Bridge Web Galleries are not much use to me. If there is no way to modify these galleries to add captions can anyone suggest an alternative solution, ideally at zero or minimal cost?
David

David,
The caption options in the Bridge web gallery feature are limited. You can specify titles, captions, and descriptions that appear on every page of a gallery, and you can choose to display filenames, cell numbers, or all metadata for individual images in some templates. Otherwise, the templates do not display unique captions with individual images. Documentation is at
Create a web photo gallery with Adobe Output Module.
The web photo gallery feature from Photoshop CS3 is now an optional plugin for CS4. I believe some of those templates have some additional caption options. You can find out about downloading and using the optional plugin at
Creating web photo galleries.
If you'd like to make a feature request, go to www.adobe.com/go/wish.

Making Bridge web galleries searchable

I'm sure this will have been asked before on the forum, but after scrolling thought the first four pages of topics I can't see it raised anywhere.
Is there an easy way of adding a search engine that will interrogate a file's metadata when creating a web gallery in Bridge?
The company I work for is looking to set up a gallery of 2,000 graphics to begin with, which will probably grow to 10,000 graphics before too long.
Bridge is great because it converts Illustrator vector files to jpegs (the organisation is Microsoft Office-based, and most staff cannot read vector files). But obviously the resulting gallery has to be searchable. It seems odd that Adobe hasn't included this option as standard when creating web galleries.
I'm a graphic designer by trade, and although I can do a little bit of coding I'm certainly no expert in that area. So I do need a simple solution.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice offered and sorry if I'm bringing up an old chestnut again.

It sounds like your html files are assigned to fireworks instead of safari. Open your file browser (windows explorer or mac equivelent) find an html file and look at it properties. In windows this is where you can change the app that is the default. I am not sure how on a MAC, but hopefully it will jog your memory or someone else will answer.

Is it possible to transfer custom web galleries from CS3 to CS5?

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my custom web galleries from PS CS3 to Adobe Bridge CS5?

Collections are not a physical directory. It is kind of like a spreadsheet that tells Bridge where to find the pictures and display them, so you can't just move the folder.
Smart collections are a little easier to transfer, but do not think CS3 had those.
Not an expert here but believe you would first have to have the same computer and HD so that all the picture loacations are the same.
Then go to User/App Data/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge/Collections and copy file from CS3 and insert into same spot for CS5.
Maybe someone that have done this will jump in and prove me wrong.

Web Galleries. Can be avoid "download"?

For us, professionals, web galleries in AP2 could be a help, but I don´t give images, I sell them, so I would like to know if it can be avoided the option "download" when a web gallery is created.
Regards.
Guillermo

You just un-check the option "allow downloading of:". Aperture will just generate very small JPEG versions of your images and upload them to your .mac account. These small JPEGs will not contain any metadata and be limited to approx. 800 pixels. However, these small JPEGs can still be downloaded by anyone visiting your web album.
You may want to put a large "Copyright" right onto the image using Photoshop.
For commercial use you may want to consider using another web album service and using one of the several export plug-ins available from the download section of the Apple website.

Web galleries put images under a bin directory

The web galleries put the images (both thumb and large) in a path like content/bin/images/... For hosts that use Microsoft Internet Information Server, the bin part of this path breaks the link to images, so they don't display. WHY IN G's NAME do you use bin? bin is for executables, in both unix and Windows, surely.
Because I use a host that uses IIS, I can't use Lightroom-generated web galleries.

Open the folder default_html.lrwengine (it's inside the lightroom app folder) (you should make a backup copy just in case)
Open the file galleryInfo.lrweb
after the line ["photoSizes.thumb.width"] = 130,
Add
["photoSizes.large.directory"] = "large",
["photoSizes.thumb.directory"] = "thumb",
In grid.html change the line <img src="$others/bin/images/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
to <img src="$others/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
and in detail.html change <img src="bin/images/large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
to
<img src="large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
That should get you going.
As to why it uses bin? no idea..

Can't see web galleries in iweb

I've published multiple .mac web galleries but don't see any of them listed in the widget list in iweb. What am I missing, do I have to do something special to see them?
What's the best way to include my web galleries if I have a ton of them I want to list on my website?

It may not be a bug but a feature to not display any photos that are acutally in the gallery when announcing a protected gallery. I don't know. But you can report by using the iWeb->Provide iWeb Feedback menu option in iWeb.
If the gallery is password protected but your want a photo from the gallery to be in the link, add a small photo to the page, size it to a reasonable size and then link it to the web gallery. When visitors click on the photo link they will be taken to the gallery and have to put in a name and password before they can access it. You can email that info to them in a separate email.

Carriage returns in web galleries?

Has anyone succeeded in putting carriage returns in web galleries? The most important place is in the caption option where you can string together a bunch of metadata fields. Surely people want a carriage return between their caption field and, for example, their shutter speed or aperature or whatever... Personally, I want to put the location fields in. I can't put commas in between because I don't always have all of the location fields and there is no logic possibility (like, no content in field, don't put in comma).
I am interested in HTML galleries, not flash.
Thanks!
Judy

Judith,
I've just had a go and I see what you mean. I've tried it by adding a <BR> tag into the caption, but LR outsmarts me and no combination of quotes or backslashes seems to escape it successfully. I can enter it in the dialogue box with alt-enter but it doesn't appear in the HTML.
However, if you put something like XBRX into the caption and then did a global find & replace on the resulting file(s) to change it to <BR> then it will work.
If you're on a Mac it's easy to knock up a little shell script that will do it, but on a PC I have no idea.
