IWeb 08 slideshow modifications

iWeb08's non-.mac slideshow is a vast improvement from '06 and eliminated my need to use Simpleviewer or SlideShow Pro. However, the viewable window size (both on full screen option or smaller window viewer) cuts off part of my photo titles which are max'd to 5 lines of information (as the photo page allows). Anyone know where I can adjust the window size or viewable size of my images so the entire title will be viewable? Changing the font size didn't work.
Is this found somewhere in the iWPopUpSlideshow.js located in the SCRIPTS folder?? Anywhere else I would need to change the size?
Any help is much appreciated....

Identical problem on my G5, but I can view slideshows fine on a G4 iMac and Intel Mac Book Pro. I'd like to know the fix also. I see a number of others are having the same problem.

More iweb slideshow reflection questions...

Hi,
I also want to get rid of the reflection in iWeb slideshows. I have searched and found the instructions on how to fix this through "terminal". Only problem is that I don't understand how terminals work. Can someone please explain it to me? I tried and it felt a lot like advanced programming!
Thanks,
S

I'm not sure which instructions you have found, but here is a tutorial written by Will Englefield on the topic of removing reflections from the Apple enhanced slideshows. I've looked through it and it seems that all that is required is a text editor....no terminal work! Have a look....

Good luck!

Lost iWeb Slideshow icons

I have updated the slideshow content of my iweb site and for some reason have lost the navigation (back|pause|next) icons that go with the slideshow. They have been replaced with the ubiquitous "?" icons. Is there a way to restore these icons?
Thank you.

This is a result of MobileMe closing. The images were stored on the Apple server.

IWeb slideshows not showing...Safari only?

During the last few days, when I check out iWeb slideshows I have created for my school using my Safari browser, the photos aren't displayed.
All I see on my Mac is the "Play Slideshow" graphic and the number of pages are shown but nothing more. The "Play Slideshow" graphic is not active or clickable at all.
The slideshows work fine in other browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox but not Safari? (see 2 pics below)
I get the same result whether the site is FTP'd or hosted on MobileMe.
Works on everything but my Safari but works with Safari on other computers???
I have reset Safari but still get same result.
Not sure what to try next.
Attached pics show Safari screen and Google screen.....note no pics on Safari screen????
Thanks for any suggestions!!!!

Quit Safari, unchecked 32-bit mode in info window and restarted Safari and what do you know????
Those slide shows now show up!!!!
Thanks to all who had suggestions!

Iweb slideshow

Is there a way to change the background color in iweb slideshow to black without posting it to a .mac account.
thanks

Hey there,
welcome to the Apple iWeb Discussion Forums!
Select the photopage, open the inspector, go to the Photos tab and then click on Slideshow.
At the bottom of the slideshow tab there's "Page Background" there you can select Black as the color for slideshows.
Regards,
Cédric
Sorry just noticed you posted the question in the iWeb '06 Forum... I don't know if it's the same for iWeb '06 I never used it sorry...

IWeb slideshow: thumbnails intrude on photo

HI all.
I created an iWeb slideshow, but the band of thumbnails at the top runs on top of the large image. Looks awful, and I can't show this to colleagues. Any idea on how to format the photo files so that they appear full frame? Thanks for your help, Mac folks.
Loren

are you talking about the .Mac iweb slideshow? the lines of photos only appears when you have your mouse over it!
or in the photo page the collection of photos is running over another photo? then just move the box around!

IWeb Slideshows

1 year ago I bought a new imac and iWeb. I've made about 10 sites.
The slideshows look great on my iMac. They are anout 630px wide with a nice reflection.
BUT!! on my PC, they suck. I tried to show someone my art work on the their PC, I was shocked. The images appear no bigger than matchboxes surrounded by a huge amount of black. I have a newish PC and it's just the same.
Does anyone else out there have the same problem?
I uploaded my pics to Flickr, dropped the code... success ... until I discovered
you can only have three set without going pro .... so no good for me.
Slide.com .... no end out unrelated advertising ... useless for my website
Myspace, well, their slideshows now autostart, not way of stopping them, no controls .... and they have annoying rounded corners which are getting very fashionable which I don't like ...
Anyone any advice?

Dear kim plygeaw,
Alancito posted "Re: iWeb Slideshows" in "iWeb Slideshows" on Nov 28, 2008 1:39:02 AM.
Kim ~ The slideshows on your Flickr account are so much bigger and better than the slideshows on your iWeb site. So why not either hyperlink to your Flickr slideshows or embed your Flickr slideshows in your iWeb site? You are already familiar with Flickr slideshows, but for other forum readers who perhaps are not, here are some details...
Before clicking on the hyperlinked thumbnail below, note that mouse-over of the slideshow page will display many options — including a full-screen button at lower right. The viewer can pause the slideshow (button at lower left) and then click on the thumbnails in any order...
Click to open slideshow in new window
It's also possible to embed the slideshow into your web page via iWeb's HTML Snippet window — see this article: Flickr's slideshows get cinematic, viral. Notice that the sample embedded slideshow there, once playing, also shows the full-screen button at lower right. And clicking it doesn't take you out from the current window/tab — it simply goes into full-screen mode (and hitting the Escape key exits that mode).
By the way, Flickr's maximum pixel size is 1024. You can submit larger, but they'll be compressed and resized by Flickr. See this FAQ.
I have just spent a good while getting nowhere logging in here, finally got into my account, phew!:
Tks for the message and have posted Alancito's message above that didn't show up.
I started out with high hopes at Flickr, I could post their fabulous networking slideshows onto my iWeb page, add related videos too from YouTube which play many times faster than my better quality but internet sticky Quicktime vids, and so on, music from playlist.com sound effects and so on making the slideshows have a contextual setting on each webpage.
BUT, the crunch came at Flickr when I discovered you can only make 3 album sets on the free account, therefore only 3 separate slideshows, DAM! The only way round it is to go Pro for unlimited. As I have currently 2 iWeb hostings, I'm not in the mood to keep adding more expense.
Sooooo, the solution for me: I went over to Gmail 'Pica. Their slideshows are good, I customize the code so say at 800px wide I go down 800px instead of 566px for the vertical pics get as much TLC as the horizontal . You can change the code to make them any size like YouTube videos and with an autostart option which myspace doesn't have. There's no advertising at the end like Photobucket and Slide.com and a nice piece of software that's for mac so you can drag and drop pics to upload update the shows.
They also behave well on old PC's!
http://picasa.google.com/
I started out making my sites with iWeb to add a professional edge to my free networking sites, I didn't even link to them. I feel a little foolish now as that's were the people are, and so now I'm mixing them all together. There needs for people to leave a networking site to go to a private website, and vise versa, and I'm still working on that. I've very surprisingly had 45,000 hits on a rather modest YouTube this past 6 months, a small account with 90 short videos, how to get that traffic over to my website is my next project! So the slideshows and websites better mean something more than they get on free networking sites and not be an anti-climax

Non iWeb Slideshows

Finally got my head around non iWeb slideshows, I would appreciate feedback, comments or criticism.
http://www.ardswe.com

I like those slideshows. You menu on the right side of the pages is cut off a bit, one character in the portfolio and slideshow links. Portfolio is portofli with the o one the next line. This is with Safari 3. Firefox displays it fine.
What did you use for the slideshows?

Adding Music to iWeb Slideshows

I would like to add some music to the slideshows I've published using iWeb. I discovered some old (ie. Oct/2006) threads discussing this topic and have tried what was suggested there - downloading the AC-QuickTime.js and editing the slideshow HTML file as suggested, but could not get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas? This seems like such a simple feature to want to add to a slideshow (ie. the way you do it right in iPhoto), it seems like there has to be a way. Thanks for any help.

pmuck,
Welcome to the discussions.
Not sure what you've read, so here's the crash course on it again!
As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolderPage.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie (song): (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.
Post back and let us know how it goes.

IWeb slideshow from photo page doesn't work

My photo page works OK when clicking on a particular picture, then using "next" & "previous" buttons".
When clicking on "play slideshow", I'm greeted with "WE'RE SORRY, but we can't find the iWeb page you've requested"

This is covered in the User's Guide, page 94.

Iweb slideshow image size

The "Play Slideshow" option in iWeb Photo pages actually shows my photos same size or even smaller than the photos on the page. They look tiny in the middle of the large black modern viewer..
Why is this? If I chose to click directly on one of the photos, another "inline" viewer appears, and here the photos are larger - as I would expect them to be in the slideshow.
I am very found of the iWeb fotopages that lets me make real photo albums with title text (as in the old "Homepage". I have tried to upload Large (high quality) photos, but this does not increase the size of the photos in the slideshow.
What is wrong here? Can anyone give me some input on these settings please? Thanks!

I believe the maximum dimension size of Photo Album Slideshows is 800 pixels. So anything larger will only display at 800 pixels.

Iweb slideshow problems

I have created a slideshow with music in iphoto. When i export it to iweb and publish it to my site the video only plays for about 5sec then it stops completely. But the video works fine if i just play it on my computer. I Have called godaddy and asked them. They say its nothing to do with the publishing on there end, that it something with the code. I have tried publishing to folder and using filzilla but still no luck.

Did you use a single audio file for the sound track or is it a compilation of two or more dragged in from iTunes?

Font cut off in iWeb slideshow

I'm having all kids of font problems working on my website, looks like iWeb has some issues. Right now I would like to fix the font on my slideshows. I set the caption number to 5 on the Album page, then when you click on an image and go to its own page the caption is low down and hard to read because it overlaps with the design line there (not to mention I cannot control the font on these single image pages). In Slideshow the last line of the captions just get cut off. Annoying! Anyone know about this?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Cyclosaurus posted directions to let users put additional elements on that particular page and not have it interfere with the photo. The post is about putting text below the photos but should work for any object. I've not tried it so can't comment on it's effectiveness

Tiny iWeb slideshow in iWeb 08

Hello, I just upgraded to iWeb 08 and realized that the former slideshow function on photo pages (black background with reflection) now shows very small versions of my photos, more like thumbnails than the actual photos, and in any case much smaller than before – which makes the slideshow unviewable, or with very limited interest. Heck, the controls (pause, play, forward, etc.) are nearly as big as the pictures! Strange because in the photo page (index) if you click on a picture you get a large version (with a new strip of the photos above it, which makes it redundant with the slideshow). What a mess! I checked out photo pages by other users and noticed the same reduction in size of the pics in slideshows.
Question: Are other users also noticing this? Is there any setting to get back to the same dimension of photos in slideshows? Should I re-import my pictures?
Thanky you for any feedback!

This problem is discussed in a couple other threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1106210
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1090329
Given the high proliferation of laptops, I'm surprised that the slideshow works so poorly on a laptop. The slide show is essentially thumbnails. Previous iWeb version made great use of the entire screen independent of what type of display whether a large desktop monitor or smaller laptop display.
Use the feedback link below to let Apple know that this is a serious shortcoming of the new iWeb:

IWeb Slideshow help/problems/question

Hi everyone. I've been searching through all the posts and keep trying to use various methods to create a pop-up slideshow inside my iweb page. Nothing is working OR maybe it just can't be done?
I need some expert help to check this one out for me. It would be soooooo appreciated at this point. Many of you seem pretty advanced with getting around the limitations of iweb.
Here's my site, created all in iweb. In the "Design & Print" page I'd like to put a hyperlink that opens a new window with a flash viewer like simpleviewer. It seems like a real pain but I have to conquer this problem. Thanks everyone for your help!!!!
Main site:
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/main.html
Problem page:
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/design_print.html

OK, here's what I would do:
1. Get this program:
http://mountainmandan.net/webexport
Adds a tab to iPhoto Export pane to export SimpleViewer or other slideshows.
Upload the resulting folder to your server. So the address would be
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html
2. In iWeb, make a link on the design&print page to
http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html
3. Publish to a folder as usual, but don't upload yet
4. Now you will need to make a slight change in the html code in order to make this link open in a new window. You can open the html files generated by iWeb in any text or html editor. In TextEdit, to view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the desig_print.html file and click Open.
Find
href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Replace with
target="_blank" href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Or, if you want to specify the size of the window,
Find
href="http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfolder/index.html"
Replace with
href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.razorheadsnyc.com/nameofslideshowfo lder/index.html','_blank','width=x,height=y,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,loca tion=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,directories=0'); return false;"
x and y are the dimensions you want the window to be.
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes again! Set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt and you can do this very quickly. You can save your queries so you can make all of your changes with one click the next time you save.
