Enhanced slideshows in iWeb

What exactly are "enhanced" slideshows (when using a .mac account)?
I am trying to figure out how to create the "reflection" effect I have seen on several iweb sites (with the black background).
Thanks for the help.

In every iWeb template is a "Photos" page from which a slideshow can easily be created. The slideshow is displayed on a black background and each photo has a "reflection" effect - as you noticed. Here's what iWeb's Help says about it:
Drag photos to a Photos template. If you're adding more than a few photos, this method is an easy way to organize photos and include captions. The Photos templates also include a Start Slideshow button so that your visitors can view your photos as a slideshow.
To add photos and captions using a Photos template:
Click the Add Page button (shown above) or choose File > New Page.
In the template chooser, select a template in the list on the left, choose Photos from the thumbnails on the right, and then click Choose.
Drag photos (from the Finder or the Photos pane of the Media Browser) to the photo grid on the Photos page.
You can drag individual photos, multiple photos (by Shift-clicking or Command-clicking), or a whole album. As you drag over the template, a blue rectangle indicates the area of the photo grid. The first photo you add replaces all the placeholder photos on the page. The photo grid holds up to 99 photos.
Note: If you drag a photocast (a published album), the URL for the RSS feed is also added to the page.
To add a caption to a photo, click the placeholder text below a photo and type a caption.
You can change the number of columns and the height of captions using the Graphic Inspector.

Slideshows in iweb

Hello. I made a slideshow in iphoto. How do you put it into an iweb website and be able to use the features for slideshows in the inspector of iweb? Thanks.

As pointed out above, the features for slideshows in iWeb's inspector are for slideshows generated from iWeb — not from iPhoto. But you can put your iPhoto slideshow in any iWeb template page by doing the following...
Select your slideshow in iPhoto's panel on the left. Click on File > Export... and save the QT movie file to the Desktop. Then drag that .mov file from the Desktop to an iWeb page (any template). Then, to control your slideshow movie's appearance and behavior when it's viewed in a browser, click on iWeb's QuickTime Inspector tab.
By the way, you can create a more efficient slideshow movie in iPhoto by selecting the photos you want included in the slideshow and choosing File > Export > QuickTime tab. As above, you would then drag the movie file to an iWeb page. With this approach you won't have so many configurable options, but the resulting slideshow movie file will be very small and thus quick to appear when your web page is viewed.

How to publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb

Is it possible to (or how do you) publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb created either in Aperture or iPhoto?

Here's an example of E Books. They're created in iWork and loaded into iWeb as a compressed PDF for download. The photo of the front cover is used for the link.

For a larger file, you can upload it to a folder on your server and create a link to it from your website.

I took you advice, as given in this thread and now my slideshow works. iWeb has a problem with Verizon servers, with regard to SlideShow.

How did you edit .js?
Give this a try, edit this file:
http://mysite.verizon.net/macericpet/Home/SlideShow_assets/openSlideShowWindow.j s
Open it with text editor, you will find two functions:
function openSlideShow(initialIndex)
function openSlideShow2(initialIndex, language)
You can swap them, rename openSlideShow to openSlideShow2
and rename openSlideShow2 to openSlideShow

Using Aperture 3 slideshows on iWeb 09

Hi - I am trying to use aperture 3 slideshows on iweb instead of flash but the quality is lacking - the sharm movie files are over 30mb so when compressed to around 10mb loses image quality
see here : http://web.me.com/ruperteden/casasnaareia (click on image)
the movies are slow to load on Firefox and do not load at all using Google Chrome ?
Does anybody have a solution to increase image quality keeping files small enough ?
Steve Jobs if you are reading this please can you come up with a solution quickly or I will have to revert back to Adobe Flash which like you I hate using !
Thanks in advance !

OK but the problem I am having is maintaining crisp image quality while compressing QT files of over 30mb generated by Aperture slideshow export ?
also the movies only really play on Safari - other browsers are clumsy and slow ?
Can anyone suggest an alternative ?
here is the site so far : http://web.me.com/ruperteden/casasnaareia

On the page it says :
Put a texbox with a unique word on the page.
Then add a HTML Snippet.
The HTML Snippet has this code :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
This is the page iWeb creates from the HTML Snippet.
http://www.wyodor.net/Demo/html5//HTML5_Zencoder_files/widget1markup.html
Here's the zencoder.js file :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/zencoder.js
It adds extra HTML code :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/video-js.css
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/video.js
and then displays this file :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/index.html
The page has all the code to display .m4v, .ogg, .webm and flash.
In the end the textbox is behind the movie. I only needed it to find the location on the page (the top left corner) to display the video.

Slideshow in iWeb won't work on my server - not .Mac,

My Photos page, created with a template, is giving me a 404 msg. (SlideShow.html not found on this server) whenever I go to click on the SlideShow icon. My site is http://www.theweetman.net.
However, when I run the site from my desktop files, the slideshow works.
Does the site have to be uploaded to a .Mac server to work on-line?
BTW - I used Fetch 5.2 to upload my files, and the SlideShow.html file is where it is supposed to be. Please Help!
Thanks

Publish iDVD Slideshow on iWeb

I have created a slideshow with music in iDVD and burned several DVDs. I would like to publish the content to iWEB in my .Mac account but have not been able to figure out how to do it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

There is no easy way to use the DVD slideshow created by iDVD.
Why not just create the slideshow in iWeb. Try the iWeb forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=188 if you need help.

Adding a Flash-Type Slideshow in iWeb

I want to add a slideshow to my home page, but not the kind of slideshow that has a bar of thumbnails and an enlarged version of the selected image. I'd like a frame that automatically plays a slideshow of images that play for a few seconds with a simple transition. Is this something I can create in iMovie and then import or even in iPhoto? I know you can't use Flash itself, which is fine since I don't know the program, although I'd learn it for this purpose if it was possible to use it.
All thoughts are appreciated. If interested, the site is www.jrcphoto.net
Thanks
Jim

Jim ~ You can create a QuickTime movie slideshow in iPhoto. Here's an example of a fast loading, looping embedded slideshow (not mine):
http://www.heese-cadieux.com
...and done like this:
iPhoto > select photos > File > Export... > QuickTime tab ...set width and height, etc.
Then iWeb > Media button > Movies tab ...drag in your movie created above by iPhoto.
Then iWeb > Inspector > QuickTime tab ...settings.
Note: The above generates a QT slideshow of small file size and thus appears quickly in a web browser.

How can I change the Slideshow in iWeb 08???

I've searched and searched and don't see to find an answer - I used to swap out slide show assets in iWeb 06 for a much better way of navigating through my photos. That's no longer an option in 08 - anyone have any alternative slideshows for 08?
In 06, the alternative would pop up on top of the screen and the user could then click on the left or right of the pix to move -
I hate the new slideshow - too long to load and the images are too small.

Here's what I'm talking about...
http://www.jeffulrich.com/photography/bluebonnets.html
if you hit slideshow or any of the pictures, there's a secondary window that pops up for a much cleaner experience. I'd like to get that back in iWeb 08 - now I'm understanding that it uses Java and it's completely different.
Just wish there were some other alternatives - I really don't like to Out of Box slideshow.

Flash xml slideshow in iWeb not working

Hallo
I am really struggling to get a Flash xml slideshow to work. I have used Flash Slideshow Maker app, which creates a slide.xml, .swf and .html file and everything is published in one folder "slideshow" on a local disk.
I am using the following code and it works perfectly when viewed in iWeb:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"
WIDTH="920" HEIGHT="400" id="Phambili">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/Users/elsjevanzyl/Documents/Websites/Published Websites/Phambili/Slideshow/Phambili.swf?xml_path=slides.xml">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME="wmode" value="transparent">
<PARAM NAME=base VALUE=".">
<EMBED src="/Users/elsjevanzyl/Documents/Websites/Published Websites/Phambili/Slideshow/Phambili.swf?xml_path=slides.xml" quality=high wmode="transparent" WIDTH="920" HEIGHT="400"
NAME="Phambili" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" base=".">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
But as soon as I publish it to FTP with following code, it displays the slideshow but NOT the photos or thumbs:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://harmonieproteas.co.za/Slideshow/Phambili.swf?xml_path=slides.xml">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>

PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" base=".">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
I have also tried iFrame code, but this is not working at all.
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong when publishing the above code to FTP?
Any help will be appreciated.
