IWeb - Bulding a Photo page

When building a Photo page, the "Help" menu says a visitor can select the Slideshow feature to view the photographs. I understand the feature, but I cannot find or figure out how to select the music and other features such as type and length of dissolves, etc. (I'm assuming of course these features are available in iWeb.)

Actually, these features are not supposed to be user configurable. There is no way to select music and change the type and length of dissolves in iWeb.
Bruce Kirman, though, has succeeded in adding music to the .Mac slideshows....

And Bob Kuhnenn has made the .Mac slideshows autoplaying and also added in controls for display intervals...

All of these things require editing of the underlying code of the slideshows.

IWeb 08 and photo pages!!!!?

when updating my old domain file to the new format, i seemed to have lost all the photos on my old photo pages and the formatting is not correct. I thought what the ****, need to refresh the site so decided to create new photo pages etc, using the new index page as well.
So completed the new pages, saved the domain, published to .mac. site look fine!!!!! Closed iWeb, then opened it again and low and behold, lost the photos and the formating gone.
Anyone know of a fix?
Regards
Mark

I had a problem with photos missing from Photo pages. I just talked to Apple support and we were able to fix the problem for my domain!
The Apple support person said that some domain files are not being properly updated to 2.0. In those cases, peoples are experiencing missing pictures and text as navigation on photo pages.
One indicator if your domain was properly updated to 2.0 is to look at the filename in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/. In my case the file was Domain.sites and not Domain.sites2 so the initial conversion did not complete properly.
The solution was to replace incorrectly updated Domain.sites file above with the original backup that I made before installing iWeb 2.0. (NOTE - The readme clearly states to backup this file before installing and luckily I did.)
After copying the file to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, make sure that iWeb is closed (not running). I then double clicked the Domain.sites folder and patiently wait for the Progress bar to complete. (Thank you to another poster on another thread for this suggestion.) You will not receive any success message other than the file will be renamed Domain.Sites2.
After multiple saves and publishes, it appears that everyone now works correctly. The Apple support person was very interested in user feedback and wants more people to report issues via phone. He took my original domain file (via his iDisc account) so he could submit it to engineering for them to study. It sounds like they could still use a few more examples of Domains that fail the initial upgrade to 2.0.
Hope this helps.

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 crashes adding photo page

iweb crashes when adding a photopage to an existing site or trying to create a new site. 'iweb quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plugin' given in Problem Report. Adding a blank page does not crash the application. Any ideas appreciated. Arnim

Arnim:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That error message is a result of Snow Safari and iWeb having problems with the Hoefler Text font. See this site for one possible solution: http://iwebfaq.org/e-books/the-million-dollar-trick-or-how-to-fix-iweb-in-10-6-2 /
It may be you're trying to use a theme that uses that font.

*visible* comments on iweb photo pages?

hi all
i've read a few posts which complain about the lack of comment functions in iweb, specifically on photo pages.
i use icomment and have experimented with the haloscan option of embedding a haloscan commenting link on an iweb page, but it's a rather unimpressive feature, but an impressive workaround nonetheless.
is there any way to make [haloscan] comments visible?
any advice or tips are warmly accepted.
cheers, lee.

You might want to consider having the comment in an iFrame on your page. You can iFrame the haloscan page into your iWeb page. Use the Haloscan URL to iFrame. For example http://haloscan.com/comments/iwebfaqs/AutoPlay/ can be iFramed into an iWeb site to display the comments on the page instead of having to click a link to see the comments open in a pop-up window. There is more information on how to insert an iFrame into an iWeb site at http://iWebFAQ.com/iFrame
The website http://iWebFAQ.com has pages that require visitors to log in.

Links to Photo Pages Don't Work After Publish

I have a page with different photos that I would like to link to different "galleries" (iWeb photo pages):
http://www.spiritshopstaff.com/STAFFBASE/STAFFPICS.html
The links to these internal pages work just fine within iWeb, but when I publish (I use Fetch to ftp the site to Yahoo host), the links no longer work.
I created each of these photo pages using an iWeb template and dragging and dropping an iPhoto album to each page, and I suspect this may have something to do with it, but I really have no idea. Can anyone help me figure this one out?
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I meant that I use Yahoo web hosting, and I transfer all of my site files from my Mac HD to the host, via the Fetch ftp program.
All of my site's pages were created in iWeb. The photo pages themselves are internal pages (within the site) that I purposefully left out of the site navigation menu in order to keep things clean. I want users to navigate to these different photo pages from a "gallery selection" page (the STAFFPICS page).
All of the other links within the site appear to be working properly (hyperlinks are active).

IWeb and Aperture photos not looking that good?

hey guys can any of you tell me why
when i done edit my photos in aperture and loads them over in iweb they are not looking that good as in Aperture why is that?
can any help me here?

Opps. I thought I was in the iPhoto forum. Getting old(er).
Have you done this before and had better results?
Are you dragging them onto an iWeb page or into an iWeb album or photo page?
Do you have iWeb's preferences set to optimize photos upon import?

Freezing when trying to edit photo page

I am a longtime user of iWeb and have never had an issue. However today, in trying to update my web page, it began to freeze
I can edit every page except a photo page. The moment that I toggle to that page, it hangs up and I need to force quit.
I have already deleted the "plist" files and emptied the cache and rebooted. This did not affect the situation. In this situation, my ultimate goal is to delete the page, as I am a teacher and the new year is upon us.
Any advice for the deletion of that page would be greatly appreciated.
nick

From the iWeb File menu select New Site: Shift - command - N
Choose a template and a blank page and then click the "Choose" button
A new site named "Site" is created along with a blank page.
In the left column of iWeb, drag the Photo page down to "Site".
Select "Site" and press your delete button.
"Site" is deleted along with the Photo page.
The original site is left intact minus the Photo page.

No portrait photos in photo page problem

I was just trying to make a photo page in iWeb (as I have done in the past). I start in iPhoto by selecting an event, and then click on the iWeb icon selecting photo page. Export starts, says 92 images. In iWeb, there are only 42. After almost going crazy, I think I figured it out. Only landscape photos are actually showing up in iWeb, portrait ones are missing!
This is a site started in iWeb 1, but I have modified it in the past and already published, but not noticed this problem. I also changed template to no avail. When trying to add the missing portrait pictures from the media browser, they do not get added, only a text box with the photo file name. Also, they do not cause the other pictures to be reshuffled. If I pick a landscape picture, that photo can be added (and the pics regroup while dragging the photo around)
Has anyone else seen something like this? Solutions?

Rebuilding Photo Pages from Lost iWeb Site

I mistakenly deleted my backed up iWeb domain file after doing a fresh install of OSX. I know there is no way to import the published HTML files into iWeb, so I am in the process of making a copy of my website manually. I am looking for a way to rebuild my photo pages that doesn't require me to look at the published site, identify which photo is on the site, find it in iPhoto, and drag it to my new iWeb site. Instead, what I'd like to do is grab the photo files from iDisk for each photo page, and then drop them into my new iWeb site. However, I can't seem to find on my iDisk where the actual photo files are stored. I suspect I am looking in the wrong place. The files in the iDisk/Web/Sites/Site Name/My Albums/Pages/Album Name/Media/Photo Name are too small and low quality. When I click the download link from the published site, it's the full size file. Where is this stored?

Is there a way to use a different slideshow on all iWeb Photo pages?

I am getting real tired of the iWeb slideshow. Hard to adjust the timing, scales automatically even when you don't want it to, etc...
I did some searching on this site and a few people, such as Old Toad are mentioning SimpleViewer or Jalbum. But it sounds like it has to be setup individually for each page by modifying the html file in idisk/resources, etc...
While that would be fine for just a few pages,I have a photo blog with about 20 pages that are constantly been updated and more are added each week. I would like to be able to automatically change the default iWeb slide show to something better like Jalbum. Is there a way to do that by simply adding an html snippet on each page in iWeb directly? And if so, what would that code be for the Bananalbum as shown on OT's demo page?
Thank you very much indeed.
Bo

Hard to adjust the timing
that can be changed: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5199553
if you use iweb blog/podcast/photos and album templates then you need to know that they are rendered by javascript/AJAX... so you can use javascript/AJAX to alter them, slideshow and what not.
Here are some of my examples:

they were built in iweb with my widgets, no pre-processing, no post editing, no flash.

IWeb Photo Pages vs. MobileMe Gallery

I post a personal blog with quite a few pictures. Does anyone know the advantages to using an iWeb Albums/Photo pages versus using the widget to link to MobileMe galleries?

You should look at the user experience. iWeb albums are attractive and easy for the user to use. Widgets can be useful for a quick way to link to an external gallery but as a user I would find it a less attractive option than the iWeb albums. Would you, if you were a stranger visiting the site, find one or the other option more or less attractive?
The greatest advantage with any web page element is where the user finds something enticing, and therefore wanting to return to the site. You optimize with that as your first thought and then design accordingly.

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

Posting pics on iWeb Photo pages

hi, i did some research on the issue i am having but couldn't find any resolutions. i'm hoping someone can help me with their experience / expertise. this is the weirdest thing and perhaps i'm overlooking something obvious?
i have taken digital pics in both portrait and landscape formats. eg. took pics of tall buildings using portrait versus a wide view of a scenery by using landscape.
as i dragged these portrait pics of the building onto the photo pages (specifically with the 'travel' template), it automatically converts it to landscape. so now the buildings are on its sides when it should have been upright. i made sure that the original pic is portrait and the buildings are upright under Apple Preview. i've looked and there are no options for me to modify the pics by ways of rotate.
anyone experienced this and know why it's happening? suggestions?
thank you very much for hearing me out...

kaisuke:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Cameras with the auto-rotate feature adds a tag to the file telling applications that can read the tag how to rotate and display it. iPhoto will read that tag and create a physically rotated modified version for you to use. If the a-r file goes directly into iWeb it gets displayed as landscape because iWeb can't read that tag. Some applications can read the tag and others cannot.
I've turned of auto-rotate in my camera and upload to a folder on the desktop where I use a 3rd party application to physically rotate them before importing into iPhoto. Saves space as no modified file is created and avoids the occasional file getting displayed incorrectly.

"flicker" in iweb photo page

I have just installed iLife '08 ad am curretly updating my website with photos using web gallery. The biggest problem I have found is that the photos constantly flicker on my iweb application, but they publish just fine. I also woul like to know if I can get rid of the album that comes up as a place holder on the photos page because it doesn't publish anyway.
Thanks
