Gallery and iWeb

I have some movies and photo albums published in my Gallery. I'm producing web sites using iWeb. I want to insert the photo albums and movies into pages. This works fine when I choose Insert>.Mac Web Gallery> and the appropriate movie. But I never get the option to insert a photo album. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks
Jim

You cannot use the images in the Web gallery directly in iWeb.
But since the images are already on the server you can use the HTML Snippet to display them on your page.
The images are stored on iDisk>Web>Sites>_gallery
Then folders with large numbers.
The URL to an image is something like:
+http://web.mac.com/dotMacID/gallery/100678/IMG1999/medium.jpg+
[Click for sample|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/_gallery/100024/Alfred-20E--20Neuman/medium.jp g]
Use the [HTML img element|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/img.html] and paste it in a HTML Snippet.
<img src="http://web.mac.com/dotMacID/gallery/100678/IMG1999/medium.jpg" width="320" height="240">
And 20GB is a lot of space for photos.

Slideshows on Gallery and iWeb

Can I send a slideshow to either or both my .Mac Gallery or iweb site so others can view it?

Yes and no. You can send your slideshow to iWeb to be included into an iWeb page. But for a web gallery you have to start with an album of photos (they can be the same album that you used to start your slideshow) and then create a web gallery from it. In essence you can have the same pictures in both items but they will slightly different. The web gallery will not have any of the fancy stuff you can put in a slideshow. Also the slideshow will be larger and take longer to load for anyone viewing that iWeb site.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Web Gallery and iWeb

There is a template in iWeb for albums, but not one for iPhoto Web Galleries. You can use the insert .mac web gallery option to get a web gallery onto a page, but is there a way to use the cool album template instead?
It seems so odd that there isn't better integration between Web Galleries and iWeb templates.

Yeah, I'm noticing this, too. Seems a bit of crap work, if you ask me.
I'm kind of unimpressed with the new iWeb. A few "widgets" isn't really all that neat, and I'm shocked they didn't include some sort of iphone theme (like a theme best viewed on an iphone.)
But this gallery thing is the most irritating.

Why is Apple killing the Gallery and iWeb?

The loss of iWeb, iDisk and the Gallery is major. The Gallery is beautiful and functional. You have discretion with sharing your photos and videos. There is nothing like it. When it and the other functions are taken away next June when MobileMe disappears, I'll get nothing out of iCloud, as I do not have dozens of devices that need to be synced. What is/was great about the MobileMe photo galleries is that you could just send a link for friends to click on to see your photos. Viewers did not have sign in to a site, or provide their email addresses in order to view your photos — as has been my experience when others have sent me to Picasa or Flickr to see their pix. Why did Apple have to remove the galleries feature in order to advance iCloud? Was there a technological reason, or just someone arbitrarily deciding that "no one wants this anymore"? Same query about iWeb. I'm generally a big Apple fan, but upgrades/updates that remove useful and appreciated features — that were unique to Apple — make me cranky.

The reason is they try to make difficoult a sync with phones different from iPhone.
Well: I have an iPhone but if I go to the beach in sommer I prefer to carry a very small and simple Samsung. And have it synced !!!
They do not understand that even if you drive a Ferrari it is sometime a pleasure to drive a Fiat500 or a Smart.

Mobileme photo gallery and iweb 09 sloooooooow

Hello All,
I use iWeb 09 and Mobileme. I have added an embeded mobileme gallery of photos to my page but it soooooo slow in loading. Is there a way to embed a Mobileme photo gallery without the animation? Just have a static cover image.
I think that would solve the problem.

Nearly 3,000 "items" need to load.
A bit overwhelming for any server.
Make more "Photos" pages to reduce the load.

Saving Gallery and iWeb from MobileMe before June 30

How do I save my iWeb and Gallery from Mobile Me before June 30 ???

iWeb: you don't need to save anything from the iDisk - iWeb does not open html files. Your iWeb sites are held in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file called Domain. So even after MobileMe terminates you will still be able to open iWeb and see your sites, you just won't be able to publish them to MobileMe. You can publish them to any other webspace - please see this page:
http://rfwilmut.net/migrate2
Gallery: if your albums arre synced with iPhoto or Aperture then the pictures are on your Mac anyway. If not, and you don't have local copies (which is always a risky procedure) you will have to download each picture separately. Alternatively there is an online photo gallery service called ZangZing which provides an easy import facility from various other services including MobileMe's Gallery. It's free until June 2012 after which the first 2GB is free with escalating price levels starting at $5 per month or $50 a year.

Bridge gallery and iWeb questions, newbie....

Hi All....
I have made myselve a page in iWeb but I´m not happy with the gallery-layout with thumpnails and small sized pictures, I would like my galleries to be scroll down type, OR just one picture at the time and nothing else, except "Next/previous" and a "Menu" sign, either in a good (>>>big pictures) size....
I have this morning realized that I can do that in Bridge, so I have made myselve a testgallery and uploaded to my site via Bridge, and I can see in Filezilla that it is there, but I can´t see it on my page, off course because there´s no link between the two of them, the question is, how do I make my page show the gallery....???
I haven´t been able to locate the testgallery on the web, as mentioned I can see in Filezilla that it is there somewhere, but how to find it out there I don´t know....
My homepage is called www.easerfoto.dk and the gallery I have oploaded is called Bridgegallerytest, if it has any relevance....
If anyone have a page that is made in Bridge and care to share how´s, then please step forward, I´m on zero here, any tip is appreciated....;-)
Maybe I should mention that I am an complete NOOB on all this (managed to have Filezilla working first time last week), but want to learn....
Bjarke

When you created your gallery did you publish the file to a folder? And was one of the files in that folder named index.htm or html? Make sure the gallery works correctly by opening the index.html file with your browser from the gallery copy on your hard drive.
Then upload to the root directory of your account on the server. The url would be something like this: http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html.
Put that URL in the iFrame code below in an HTML snippet. The iFrame code in the snippet would look like this:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src=" http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html"></iframe>
Adjust the height and width dimensions to fit the size of the gallery you want on the page.
Also for what it's worth there are other gallery types of presentations, some from iPhoto with a free plugin, that might be of interest to you:

Web Gallery vs. iWeb?

I'm not sure I understand the difference between the Web Gallery and iWeb. You can add galleries on both?
How do you remove a gallery from the Web Gallery after you install it? I was trying to install multiple galleries by doing the shift click then figured out iPhoto was combining all the galleries into one. I aborted and it said it was deleting it off the WG. It did not. The pics it did upload are there and I can't figure out how to delete.

AtlantaRoyce:
Web Galleries from iPhoto differ from iWeb photo galleries in that the iPhoto galleries are run from software on Apple's servers (you only upload four versions of each photo and the server side software does the rest. With an iWeb photo gallery you have design control over how that gallery will look, comments under the thumbnails and that gallery may be part of a greater site with other pages. Then the photos and other supporting files are uploaded to be combined into an HTML based web page. The iPhoto gallery is java driven I believe.
All iPhoto galleries are part of one gallery. To delete an iPhoto gallery you delete the web gallery in the iPhoto library. The photos will be deleted from the iDisk and no longer show in your gallery.
The iPhoto one is much easier and quicker to create but can only be the one style. With the iWeb variety you can change the background, add music to the site. The two slideshows are different also.

Web Gallery in iWeb Doesn't Behave Like Standalone Gallery

From iPhoto I published a web gallery of four albums. When you go to the web gallery the four albums appear. The key photo of each album is displayed. If you move your cursor you can skim.
If I add a page in iWeb and then select Insert Web Gallery and add the galleries each album starts a mini slide show. There is a small black box that flickers on each album icon. When you go to the web album page each web gallery album icon is playing the slideshow. Which is not consistant the way the standalone web gallery works.
Here is the link to the web gallery
http://gallery.mac.com/kjritchie#gallery
Her is the link to the iWeb page
http://web.mac.com/kjritchie/Site/Web_Gallery.html
When working in iWeb this motion eats up CPU. I don't remember iWeb doing this a while ago. Is this due to 10.4.11?
Thanks for any advice.
Kelvin

That seems to be the way it is. Albums added to an Album page are static except for skimming and the iPhoto galleries added via the Web Widget feature are dymanic. It appears to be determined by what application creates the entity, iPhoto for the web gallery and iWeb for the album.
This site has both types side by side and show the difference that you're referring to.

How to post Adobe Bridge Gallery to iWeb???

Hi, I would like to know how to place an adobe bridge gallery into iweb. I want to place it on a blank page so that I can use it as the home page that I will further design around. I did find one other post, however I am not understanding the instructions or its not working. I get something like this:
happens:
http://web.me.com/josefsullivan/Screenshot/
Here are the instructions I'm following:
If it's MMe upload your Gallery folder to your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL to link to it?
http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Namer/Gallery_FolderName/index.html
You can embed the gallery into an iWeb page using iFrame code in an HTMl snippet. This is the code:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src="http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Namer/Gallery_FolderName/index.html"></iframe>
Set the height and width so that the gallery is totally embedded in the iWeb page. You may have to widen the iWeb page with the Inspector/Page/Layout pane.
Don't put the gallery folder inside your iWeb site folder as it may be deleted when you publish site changes. Keep it outside the site's folder.>>>>
Additionally, my iweb is connected to MobileMe, and I have my own personal domain name which I use instead of the one they give: web.me.com/[yourmembername].
Thanks for all of your help in advance!

Correct. Go to the Go menu and select the iDisk ➙ My iDisk... menu option. When the iDisk is mounted on the Desktop go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and open it. Then drag the folder into the iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
Click to view full size
Then the code you would use in the snippet would be
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src="http://web.me.com/josefsullivan/test/index.html"></iframe>
You'll need to set the height and width, in pixels, so the gallery is fully visible.

Lost Links to MobileMe Gallery on iWeb after updating to Snow Leopard

I recently updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I appear to have lost all of my past iWeb links to my MobileMe Galleries. It is so frustrating. This is a lot of work from the past. All of the pictures still appear on Mobile Me Gallery but the iWeb site does not recognize them. The place where the pictures used to be now has a white box with text "Upload album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu." Why! When I try to use the MobileMe Gallery widget like I did in the past, it sees none of my galleries! Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Thanks.
Here is what the page looks like now. You can see where the galleries used to be. --> http://web.mac.com/georgeparsons/TatnallRunPics/Home.html

Hi I just made one of my few visits to these forums because I had a problem kinda similar to yours. It was sending me nuts. Main indication of the problem was that when I went to add an album widgit it didn't show any of the albums I have in iphoto and no other fiddling back and forth republishing and the like fixed it. This was after working properly earlier in the day. I have just started to build a new website with iweb.
I then updated to the latest version of iweb, that is 3.0.1, and yes you guessed it, now its working fine. So just in case i thought i would mention what worked for me tho i see others with different fixes to the same problem. So this worked on my 2.4 MBP running 10.5.6 and iweb 3.0.1.
Good luck

How to do a clean, thumbnail gallery on iweb?

I'm trying to do a nice clean thumbnail photogallery on iweb 08. Something like this....
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/photos/
Tried downloading simpleviewer from this site, but can't seem to load the simplefileexporter. Some "can't find binary file" issue my browsers.
I'm not wed to simpleviewer. I just don't want all that "made by mac" stuff on my gallery, and want to keep it contained on the page without jumping to my .mac gallery. I have my own website url to upload my site to.
Is there anything in iweb, or a simple plugin that would allow me to do that kind of gallery linked above? Something that wouldn't require me opening new windows with no way back, and something that doesn't have all the mac buttons and options on the page?

Have a look here to see if it will help you...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/Slideshow.html
This is done with PostCard but its the same procedure.
You might also want to look at JAlbum...
http://jalbum.net/
Their "chameleon" template is very similar and allows you to create a link back to your site. Its freeware and they now offer you free server space too!
You don't have to use "Made on a Mac" (or any other stuff) - just delete it and add your own footer with your copyright information.

How to use iPhoto web gallery with iWeb & personal domain name

So, another question about iWeb 08:
I've set up my site to use a personal domain name, like www.mypersonaldomain.com. I've configured everything with my DNS settings so that it actually points to my iWeb site, and I'm happy about that.
However, I've imported a few iPhoto '08 web galleries into my site, but when I browse to them by going to www.mypersonaldomain.com and clicking on the link for my gallery, it goes to a URL that actually shows my .mac account, i.e. gallery.mac.com/sockdaddy/gallery1/photo.jpg
Is there any way to have the web galleries that I'm using become a more transparent part of my iWeb site, and use my personal domain?

I've never done this on .Mac but I do use this on my server. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
In iPhoto select your web gallery and in the "file" menu select "export" and then "Web Page".
Select your options and click "Export" to the desktop.
There are now 4 folders and an index.html file.
Change the name of the index file to whatever you want to call the page e.g WebGallery.html
Now go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and open your website folder.
Drag and drop the 4 folders and the html file from your desktop into this.
Create a link to this from your website in the "link" inspector and choose "external page".
The URL for the link will be the same as any other page on your site except WebGallery is substituted for the page name.
If you check the "open link in new window" you won't have to worry about the fact that you don't have a link back to your site from the WebGallery page.

Embedding LR4 Gallery Into iWeb

Hello,
After looking at many options, I had decided to use Airtight SimpleViewer in Lightroom 4 to create photo galleries with the intention of embedding these galleries into my website created with iWeb (3.0.4).
However, I am stumbling at the html snippet stage.
I have tried both uploading the gallery to my FTP site as well as exporting the gallery and then using Fetch to upload the gallery.
I tried using the html snippets reported in www.iwebfaq.org:
<iframe src=
"http://web.me.com/username/Slideshow/index.html"
style="width:615px; height:500px;
border-color:#990033;
border-style:solid;
border-width:0px"
scrolling="yes" >
</iframe>
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

I put the slideshow folders into my public folder in my Dropbox:
When I insert the following into the HTML snippets, I don't get the Simple Viewer Gallery either in iWeb or on my blog after putting it with Fetch:
When I click on the index.html file within the Public Dropx folder for the Ice Fishing slideshow, this is the link I get: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Public/Slideshows/Ice_Fishing/index.html?w=AABKs1 m6rARJTOqw4plIXFTCkvdEqU3X-D1J9yWfiSObZQ; and this is the result in both iWeb and my blog:
I have Adobe Flash installed so that is not the issue. When I hit the Gallery link, I get this error message:
Thanks for your help thus far. I think I am much closer, but still obviously doing something wrong.

Questions about web gallery in iWeb - advise please

I have succesfully republished my old iWeb with iWeb 08, but would like to have some advice before I experiment further. The iWeb Help says I can add a web gallery to iWeb using either "insert>web gallery", or a Web Widget. Can anyone explain the difference to me?
My one Web Gallery has the neat new "carousel" effect and the other properties of this new function. Will any new photo albums that I publish directly from iWeb also have these properties, or are they unique to "web gallery"? The photo albums that I have republished with the new iWeb have the "download" and "subscribe" functions, but not the "carousel" and other niceties of Web Gallery. Thank you.

There are two completely separate types of gallery, one being the .Mac web gallery and the other being the ones that you make in iWeb.
Where iWeb mentions the "insert" or "Web Widget" it just means there two ways of doing the same thing. If you use the 'Insert' menu or the 'Web Widget' button you are able to choose one of your web galleries and insert an animated thumbnail which cycles through previews of your photos in that particular album. A visitor to your page is able to click on it to visit the specific album.
So there you have it, you can either build photo albums in iWeb without some of the fancy Web Gallery features or you can use the .Mac Web Gallery. The iWeb albums will be tightly integrated with iWeb and your pages but you can still integrate the .Mac Web Gallery to a certain degree by using the 'Insert' or 'Web Widget' options.
I personally plan to use both iWeb Albums and .Mac Web Gallery as they both have their merits for different projects I'm working on.
