Iphoto web gallery link

I have exported a couple of iphoto albums to an .mac web gallery using iphoto08. I can open them in safari ok. When I try to link to these within iweb 08 using web widgets or the menu, no albums are available. Anyone had similar experiences?

When I try to link to these within iweb 08 using web widgets or the menu, no albums are available.
How did you try to do this exactly? Did you try a simple link to the url?
The normal way I think is to drag/drop from the media browser into a My Albums template.

  • 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.

  • Web Gallery Link Missing

    I have been busy posting my albums to the web gallery. I have noticed that some of them do not show the web link in iPhoto while the photos are in fact available on the web.
    If I delete and re-add the gallery sometimes the link will then appear in iPhoto, sometimes it takes several deletes and re-adds before the link appears and sometimes it has never appeared.
    I can still invite folks to view the web gallery but I cannot click on a link to jump to it myself from iPhoto.

    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Web gallery links no longer work from iWeb

    I previously added links directly to my web gallery photo albums as external links in iWeb. This no longer works. For instance, I used to be able to send people to a specific web gallery album by linking to gallery.mac.com/username#xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the number of the album. This recently stopped working however. iWeb seems to change the # sign to %252. Anyone know what happened?

    FWIW here is some info I gleamed from various sites on naming sites.
    Renaming a website or webpage
    You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
    The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
    The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
    http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]/iWeb/[SiteName]
    Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
    IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
    Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
    Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't navigate using back button from web gallery linked to iweb page

    I have a web gallery that I enabled as a hyperlink to my iweb site. When I go to the gallery from a web page, I don't have any problem navigating to the gallery to view photos, but I am unable to navigate back to the web page using the "back" button. Instead I have to relaunch my web page in Safari; otherwise I would be "stuck" on the gallery unable to navigate to other web pages.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Load the gallery in your browser and copy the URL.
    Create a text or image link and in the "Link" inspector select it as an eternal link.
    Paste the gallery URL into the box and check "Open link in new window".
    This way, the gallery window can be opened and closed but your original webpage will remain.

  • Unable to edit, add or change passwords in iphoto web gallery

    Iphoto and Web Gallery were working great but recently, I am unable to add, change, or delete passwords to my web galleries. When I go Settings and into Edit Names and Passwords, I can add or change a password but when I click OK, it will not allow either clicking on OK or hitting return. I have also posted an album to web gallery and it does not appear in the list in Settings or in the Edit Name and Password lists but I can see my gallery out on the web with all photos.
    Any help on why this is. I have both a IMAC and a Macbook and it is the same with both computers using my imac account. Both have updated software and the Macbook has Parallels installed. I
    ran repair in Keychain Access with no problems. I created another account and this did not help.
    Thanks

  • Iphoto - web gallery

    i've created a new web gallery and iphoto will not publish it. it says "pending". all of my others have worked in the past and i've deleted my old ones. why is the new one still pending?? my iweb will not not publish my site after changes either. i'm guessing something is wrong with the server these last 24 hours....

    It could be that the server was slow. How many photos in the gallery and are there any movies? When I've added a movie to a gallery it was pending for a long time. When you see the pending notification do not do any more editing on the gallery. That can mess up the gallery on line.

  • IPhoto / Web Gallery / Subscriptions

    Having only recently gotten round to playing with web galleries.
    I processed one of my albums into a web gallery (I think). It appeared online in 'My Gallery'. OK.
    But recently I made another web gallery. This one has appeared under the heading 'WEB GALLERY' in iPhoto, whereas the first one appears under 'SUBSCRIPTIONS'.
    How have I managed this? Is it possible to subscribe to your own galleries? If so, where is my 'web gallery' version hiding?
    Driving me mad.
    And don't get me started on the fact that I can't delete the Web Gallery in MobileMe.

    Steve:
    Yes it's possible to subscribe to your own gallery. However, be careful as that may replace the original files with those uploaded to the gallery and they will be smaller depending on what you set up. Check it out carefully, i.e. the original files, to make sure you have full sized versions of them. You might even make temporary duplicates of them, delete the subscription, and see if the first originals are still in the library. If so then delete the subscription and check the originals again. If they are there then you can delete the copies and create a new gallery.

  • Web Gallery Linking

    Hi Everyone,
    This may be a simple task but I want to know if there is a way to add a link to a web gallery that I have created in Adobe Bridge CS6 Windows?
    The web gallery index.html file is created fine, but I want to be able to re-link it back to my home page showing other buttons and information.
    Can this be done?
    Many thanks
    Neil45156

    Thanks for replying. I am not sure you understand what I want to do. I know how to use Dreamweaver but it's the Web Gallery that I have created from Adobe Bridge CS6. When I open the index.html file it only shows the detect Flash player text
    As you can see there are no icons or text to link from or to. If I go to the xml file I can see the title tag I want to link from. What I don't know how to do is how to create a link from the xml file back to my home page.
    Hope this helps anyone who can answer my question. Thanks

  • Unable to add or edit users in iphoto web gallery

    I'm unable to add new users/passwords in the "album viewable" drop-down when trying to start a new gallery away from my home gallery. I can also not delete old user/passes that are in there from galleries that I've deleted. I hit OK, and everything just greys out. Is there a preference file that needs to be trashed? It may be a result of using multiple computers to post photos into galleries, but I am just looking for a fix for now.
    THANKS!

    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Now try editing them again.

  • Iweb linking to web gallery

    is tehre a way to link to a web gallery and not have the MY GALLERY button show up. I only want the link to open one album and not allow access to all my albums.

    redcloud:
    No. You could password protect the other web galleries so if a viewer went into the main gallery they would not go any further. Otherwise create an iWeb album page from the album in iPhoto used to create the gallery like I did in this Album and Gallery Test page. There's an album and iPhoto web gallery on the page.

  • IWeb Link to Web gallery

    Hi everyone, my question is, is there a way to create a web gallery link in the link header of iWeb? I find this confusing that web gallery and iWeb don't have an option to link up. The gallery in iWeb is good, but don't have the same features that web gallery does. Since it is all hosted in the same place, it should be easy. I have HTML links in my blog now for it, but it isn't global. I have to insert an HTML link in each post. Any help would be great.
    Thanks.
    Jim

    well i suppose the way it's meant to be done is to make a new blank page (calling it web gallery or whatever), press web widget and put in your web gallery albums one by one. each album has a little mini slideshow going on (and skims) and clicking on that takes you to the web gallery album proper. the problem (as far as i'm concerned) is that by making the web widgets you are making your own web gallery index page which is not as nice as the actual web gallery index page which you are bypassing.
    or you could make a blank page (again calling it web gallery or whatever), leave it blank, publish it, and then edit the code so that it diverts straight to your web gallery index page. i don't know how to write code so i just copied the code on the index page and changed the destination to the web gallery address rather than the welcome page. this seems to work well. and if you know what you're doing i suppose to could also get the web gallery to open in another browser window.
    or you could make a blank page (again calling it web gallery or whatever), and insert an html widget with code to divert to the web gallery. the difficulty with this is then when someone clicks on web gallery (or whatever you have called it) in the navigation menu, you then see the blank page for a fraction of a second.
    anyway, i don't really know what i'm doing....i'm just trying stuff out!

  • Can I put iPhoto slideshow on Web Gallery?

    Our school is using iPhoto 08 and a .mac account to post pictures on the Web Gallery. While we are very satisfied with the formats allowed by Web Gallery, we'd like to put up something more in the style of the SlideShow feature in iPhoto, i.e., Ken Burns affect, music, etc., but I don't see a way to do this. Rather than give up, I thought perhaps someone might know of way to put the Slideshow on the Internet.
    Thanks,

    Yes, you can add a QT movie file to an iPHoto Web Gallery. However, I would suggest you reduce the size of the file before importing into iPhoto and the gallery as they can become very large and very slow to load. QT Pro can do the job as well as VisualHub and some others. You might want to post over at the Quicktime forum on the best way to reduce the size and keep good quality. QuickTimeKirk is the reigning guru over there (IMO). Lots of smart QT users there.

  • Safari Not Able to Open .Mac Web Gallery

    This is a very unexpected error. A friend sent me his web gallery link and Safari is not able to open the page. An error message appears:
    "This browser is incompatible with .Mac Web Gallery.
    We support the following browsers:
    Mac OS X
    Safari 2.0 or later (requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later)
    Firefox 1.5 or later"
    Now that is very unexpected because I'm using OS X 10.5.1 and Safari 3.0.4. Wouldn't you know that I can launch it just fine using Firefox. I don't want to use Firefox and thought I would be able to use an Apple product (Safari) to actually open Apple technology (web gallery).
    This is the only issue I've experienced after Leopard upgrade and the most annoying. I've provided Safari Bug feedback, but I don't expect a response.
    I'm looking for someone out there to help me through this issue. Otherwise, I hope Apple is listening. Don't give me a reason to switch back to FireFox.

    Hi,
    From previous postings here it seems to be a problem with the .Mac Gallery rather than Safari. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest there is insufficient bandwidth on those servers and when they get bogged down they mis-report the error message you saw.
    Check in the [.Mac Web Gallery|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1199] forum to see if they have some more concrete information.

  • Web Gallery Not Viewed in  Source List

    I just created a web gallery with no problems and it is viewable on dot mac but now I cannot see it in the source list on the left hand side of the iPhoto page. It does appear momentarily when I do a manual check for changes in the Web Gallery preferences but then it disappears and is not visible. I would like to make some changes but cannot see or access the gallery in iPhoto. Any tips?

    I am using iPhoto '08, version 7.1.1

    I've been having the same problem, can't figure out how to fix it. If I go under Preferences/Web Gallery in iPhoto, the gallery is still there in the list, but it will only allow me to pick there "Stop publishing." I can't refresh it back into my iPhoto web gallery list.
