IWeb '08 Album Issue

I've placed the new IWeb '08 Albums page on my website (web.mac.com/geopence.) Yesterday it was working just fine, but today I accessed the site and both the "play slide show" and "subscribe" functions are no longer working. The "slide show", "subscibe" and "index" icons now all display a question mark and while the "index" icon does work, the "slide show" and "subscribe" icons do not. When you click on the "slide show" icon a page comes up that says, "Sorry, we can't find the IWeb page that you've requested." When the "subscribe" button is invoked up pops a page with html code.
Anyone have an idea what's wrong?

Hi Laura,
I get a "The page can not be found" message clicking on both links.
You might try to republish/re-upload the whole page
A. If publishing to .mac go to File=>Publish All. Or try to publish to a folder and open it from there to see if it works.
B. If publishing to a folder: do they work when opening from the folder? If so reupload everything.
Regards,
Cédric

Iweb Photo Album vs MobileMe Gallery or...

... should I look for flickr or something?
Hi guys new mac user in every sense...the wife got her Macbook on December and I couldn't resist and got my mine three days ago.
Guys...I'm creating a website with iweb and although right now does not have a lot of pics, I know it will...so please guys:
1. If I want the visitors to have a fast access (loading) to the albums...which is the best option? iweb Photo Album or the MobileMe Gallery widget?
I know that at the end all the pics will be loaded on/from the MobileMe server, but just wanted to check if one have proved being faster than the other.
2. The other thing I was concern about was of course space..that's why I though about putting all the pics on flickr, photobucket...and then embed an album on iWeb...can I do that?
thanks guys and please if this has already been discussed please post a link...I did the search and nothing came up.

hey guys...I found this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10742043&#10742043 Aztian said that his photos load faster using iWeb Photo Albums...it would be nice to have more info...thanks!

IWeb Photo album trick

Ok, i just found about a way to insert the photo gallery (the same one form the Photo pages) into a blog or any other kind of iWeb page. So i would like to know if anybody has tried this and if there are any bugs i should be worried, since i am going to adopt this as a standard in my blog. Please check the URL bellow to get a better idea (scroll down):
http://www.olharobscuro.com/Main/Blu-Ray/Entries/2008/10/21The_Godfather_-_The_Coppola_Restoration%5BBlu-ray%5D.html#3
Basically, i duplicate the Photo gallery from the Photo page, then i cut it and paste it where i want.

SEO tool, image tagging-is it possible using iWeb photo album?

Hi,
Quaetion as above really, I've recently started to use the Rage SEO tool to tag my website, I came to start doing the images within the iWeb photo album and it cant access these, I read on here(04/09) its because its Javascript, is there a way round this yet, other than creating a html page for each photo myself? With over 100 photos to show this isnt my preference, as there is a lot more work involved in the iweb construction.
Any help greatly apprected
Cheers
Paul

How long have you waited before trying to find your images? Google can take 2 weeks or longer to list them. Secondly, your images might not return results for thousands of pages depending on the keywords you used. It will also help to submit a sitemap as discussed.
Your Lightroom keywords are for Lightroom/searching use, not web use.
There are free photo galleries you can add your photos to and link to from your website, but unless you're willing to get into something fairly complicated, this will not help the search ranking of your actual site (though it may help get the images themselves ranked).
Another alternative is to create a few separate pages with a single picture on each, a good text description, image name and ALT text, and then link to your complete photo gallery for people to view. This might be worth doing with images which have unusual keywords or phrases (and so people would be likely to return them when searching).
Getting your pictures ranked in Google image search, whilst useful in some ways, can end up being counter-productive as people are more likely to just grab your image for their own use (or ignore it if it's water-marked) and not even visit your website.

Customizing iweb photo albums

Hello, wanted to know if anyone has ever tried to customize the way an iweb photo album appears.
What I want to do is to enable the name of a photo as a hyperlink to an internal page of the website. In that case an iweb photo album page could work as product's page and by clicking on the name of a product it could lead to a page with more details for each particular product. If anyone has ever done something like this, I would be much obliged.

Thanx for the answer but if I do so I will then lose all the benefits of the album page, which is nice presentation, easy and fast page creation, slideshow and all other features that make photo albums interesting.
It was not the navigation menu getting huge in my concern when I originally posted my question. With the photo album page there is a kind of zoom into details option that I want to keep. I am looking for a way to add more details for each photo than the name of the photo.

IOS 5 and duplicate album issue.

I have an iPod Touch 4 64gb. After upgrading to iOS 5, I have a few albums that are now duplicated in the iPod music player*. When it's connected to iTunes, there are no duplcate albums in the music list; it's got exactly what I have on the syncing computer. While the iPod had iOS 4, it didn't have any of these duplicate album issues.
The iPod was 'reset' after upgrading the OS, so everything was freshly synced. Also, I made sure that all the album information (artist, etc) was entered via selecting the whole album and using the 'get info' to enter it into all the tracks simulnateously, so there aren't any extra spaces in some tracks that might cause the software to see them as 'different albums' somehow.
I've also deleted the offending albums by using the 'sync manually' option, then reloading them onto the iPod, which then brings back the duplicate albums on the iPod (even though, again, the music list in iTunes shows the iPod as only having one copy). And, if I start playing one track on one of the duplicates, pause it, go to the same track on the other duplicate, it picks up exactly where it paused on the first - so, again, its not actually duplicating tracks, justs the specific album particulars.
Just to reiterate: There were no duplicate entries in the iPod music app under iOS 4. I didn't change any album info before updating. The duplicate entries only started showing up after updating to iOS 5.
*The duplicate albums seem to have a missing track (with one having 3 missing tracks). Again, I made sure to enter all the album information with all tracks highlit so they all got the exact same informaiton without spaces, extra characters, etc.

Okay, I solved this issue as far as my iPod is concerned.
I decided to re-rip one of the album sets having the issue (I wanted it as lossless on my PC anyway, so it was due). Once it was ripped, I noticed that one of the tracks on the albums in the set was separated in iTunes, even though I'd made sure that the artist and album name were set using Get Info on all the tracks simultaniously. Apparently, each of the tracks on the album was marked as part of a compellation (even though only 1 of the 8 tracks had its own entry in the cover carousel). After unchecking that, it was back to one album in the carousel. Synced to the iPod and no duplicate album anymore.
I checked the other album having the issue and 3 of the tracks had the compellation checkmark checked. That album did *not* have separate entries in the carousel. After deleting those checkmarks, deleting the album from the iPod and re-syncing, it now shows up properly.
So, in my case, it seemed that errant compilation entries was the issue, which is odd anyway, because I didn't check that at all. It must have come from the album ID when they were ripped for some reason.

Iweb slider html issues

Hi there!
I'm trying to utilize the "anything slider" via the html widget on my welcome page. I've got all of my files properly located, I think my issue is with the html working correctly in iweb. The original html code opens up a beautiful slider and when placed into an html snippet on my welcome page it's all wacked out and images are not displayed properly.
Here is my html that I'm working with:
Original file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29215513/slider_original.html
MY file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29215513/slider-edit_this_one.html
Any help would be appreciated as soon as possible, as I'm trying to update this for a job interview... I feel like I'm losing my mind or iweb just decided to hate my guts.
Thanks! J

You didn't follow the instructions. You skipped a step. You need to correct the links for iWeb.
You need to add you MobileMe info "http://YOURMobileMe.com/"

Error message when I try to publish an iWeb photo album with audio to Mobileme:

I get the following error message when trying to publish a photo album with audio from iWeb to Mobileme. I've checked my account and I have plenty of available space on Mobileme and have logged in there.
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/qg/qg-Qwo-82RWdDU+8ZNhusU+++TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.i Web_9121_TEMP_344183369_3/sites/Site/Grand_Canyon_11_Slideshow_part_1_2_files/or iginal_2.jpg”. Try publishing again later.
Is there a problem with my photos or other content (I've added some songs to play in the slideshow)
Dan H.

First see if you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive. You can select the folder by clicking on the site's folder in iWeb and using the Publish To: menu.
If that's successful try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.

How can I automatically have my iWeb photo albums updated?

Thanks in advance...
I have several iPhoto albums that I've published on my iWeb site. However, I can't seem to figure out if it is possible to have the albums on the iWeb site be automatically updated when I add or delete photos from the corresponding iPhoto album?
Is this possible to do?
Dick

Going along with what Alancito suggested you can then embed an iPhoto MMe gallery into a Web page as shown in this demo page:MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies. I've linked to the mosaic mode of the gallery but you can use any of the modes you'd like.
Then any changes in iPhoto to the gallery will be reflected automatically in your iWeb page. This method also lets you isolate the gallery from the your other MMe galleries if you'd like.

IWeb 09 display issues in IE - HELP!

Hello all,
Creating a very simple website for my wife (normadees.info). Not going through MobileMe.
No blogs, no albums, one picture, two link nav menu.
Everything looks OK in all browsers, except IE on PC. Display is awful, as if top of text is chopped off, paragraph spacing is erratic. Changed font to Arial, shrank footer, increased page size. I wonder if Java incompatibility is problem. I hope it's something simpler.
I have seen this general problem a lot, but this site is simpler than most. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the pointers. I havent had the chance to debug a lot. but after seeing your comment it does look like some kind of caching or session related issue. So if you open a completely new IE browser window then the pdf opens up fine but not from the same window (in a new tab) ? Unfortunately we have a the pdf in a iframe in our portal and a link to open the pdf in a new window !!

Default display for iweb photo albums page

I am trying to make a web site using i web with several different photopages. I am using an albums page but the default display for the album covers is landscape. Can anyone tell me how to make them portrait so my pictures on the album cover are not cropped?

Hi,
this sounds to me ridiculous. This has to be considered as bug, not limitation as I am allowed to put pictures in portrait to my "Pictures"-template site. How can I contact Apple regarding this issue as on their support page they seem to hide the way to contact them in case of troubles... Bad customer care Apple...

IWeb photo albums

Have just created a website with multiple photo albums ... all images look great within iWeb, but when the site is published, (to either a folder, or to a .mac site) the images on the Album page (with album animation set to skim) are all pixelated ... when you click onto album image to get to the photo grid page, all images appear on the photo grid page (and in the slideshow) as perfect and sharp without any pixelation whatsoever.
I have tried importing the images from both Aperture and iPhoto ... no difference ... both are pixelated when published ... Then tried changing the presets/preferences , both in iWeb for image import (checked and unchecked the box for "optimize images on import" ) ... and in Aperture, changing the image size and quality for export ... no difference ...
My apple creative is at a loss, as are all the genius' in the store ... and I am unable to find any fix in iWeb help, the tutorials, the discussion forums, the pdf info, or anywhere else ... can't even find the problem listed ...
Can anyone help me?

When you say "using smaller thumbnails" what exactly do you mean?
I imported 49 3008x2000 photos which were scaled down to 800x528 for display within the page width i set for the project. (This also appears to be the storage size for published photos which I was able to download back to my computer.) In any case, the "Album Index" page then created created a "thumbnail" (image scaled to 512x338) for use on the "Album Index" page. (You will note that this is the same width as those previously noted on kire25's web site with height at aspect ratio that matches my slightly odd Nikon originals.) In any case, think of these "thumbnails" as being used as individual frames in a movie clip and that moving your cursor horizontally across the "thumbnail" display area as being the same as "scrubbing" a movie player's "play head" and you can imagine how "skimming" thumbnail images actually works.
As to the apparent increase in quality, I set the display area for 4 columns of thumbnail displays even though I only made a single album for my test. Having four columns, each would be displayed at only 258x170 with the settings used in my test. Thus the display size in my case is actually less than the scaled size of the "thumbnail" image and so skimming speed is faster and relative quality appears to increase. Didn't check the actual difference in my test, but I believe that if you set the number of columns in iWeb for the automatic generation of this effect to 2, 3, or 4, then actual thumbnail image size is equal to or larger than the display size. Only the "1 Column" setting displays the thumbnail larger than its actual size (i.e., will generate obvious pixellation). Must confess, however, that I wasn't all that thrilled with the scaling algorithm used by iWeb (probably the standard QT scaler) as opposed to other algorithms.
The size of the images themselves are compressed before you insert the album into the place holder, or the size of the "album holder" is smaller in dimension ...?
Not sure if the compression takes place when photos are added to photo pages or at the time of publication. First photo in page always looked worse than the others after I modified the web page width and increased the display area. (Would probably require reads of project file data (image size) before and after making changes to page/display widths to determine how the stored image dimensions are effected by changes in the project settings. (This is not something I would want to take the time to investigate at this time as I am way behind in making some DVDs for my grandson.)

How can you increase size of iweb photo album?

In iWeb albums there seems to be a maximum of 500 photos or 5 pages. Can you add more than 500 photos to the same album? How?

are you using an application server or the local OC4J container?
In both cases the height and width of your applet can be set in the formsweb.cfg file.
you can find this file under <oracle_home>/forms/server directory
search in the file for with and height
you can put a fixed size in pixels or in percentage of your screen resolution
hope it helps

MobileMe iWeb '09 Publishing Issue

I am trying to publish a website using MobileMe. I have all of my files in iDisk/Web/Sites folder. I have already set the CNAME of my site to web.me.com and set my personal domain on my MobileMe account to my domain (sevanskateboarding.com). I haven't been able to view my site online. How might I be able to view my site online. I have tried typing in my URL and clicking the link in the iWeb section of iDisk on me.com. I cannot access my site.
I have been able to publish and view my site to Dropbox/dot.tk hosting so it is most likely not an iWeb issue.
Thanks in advance!

Do as I suggested in your other topic and enter the MobileMe URL in the browser to make sure the site is published correctly before you try to troubleshoot the domain name forward.

Online Albums Issues with PSE7

Does PSE7 offer a way to save online albums directly to my hard drive instead of just uploading them to Photoshop.com or to another website via FTP? Unlike PSE6, PSE7 doesn't seem to offer that option (at least, I couldn't find it)
And can anyone tell me what happened to all the standard, medium thumbnail online album templates (for example, black background with matrix of thumbnails on left with single large image on right)? PSE6 offered them, but PSE7 doesn't.
Must I purchase a Photoshop.com PLUS membership ($50) to get these templates (which came free with PSE6)? If so, how often are new templates delivered. The website just says "you'll get new templates delivered to your software on a regular basis?" Does that mean daily? weekly? monthly? semi-annually??
I really appreciate any help you all can give me!

Exactly!
PSE7 doesn't seem to be an upgrade at all
it seems to offer FEWER features than PSE6
with never-ending plugs for photoshop.com plus membership
I plan to downgrade to PSE6 to get the template I want
and to be able to save my projects directly to my hard drive
see the answer (and my reply) to the same post in the Technical Issues section
