Iweb gallery page

I'm trying to set up a gallery page on my website. The thumbnails and links work fine on iweb, but when I publish the site in safari, clicking on a gallery thumbnail automatically starts a slide show of the gallery page, instead of linking to the page the thumbail represents. I've removed the "start slide show" button from the gallery page, but that makes no difference.
How can I get the thumbnails to link to their respective pages instead of a slide show of the gallery images?

The manual way to do this is to overlay transparent (1% opacity) shapes over the thumbnails and link these shapes to the respective photo pages.
However, there is a more elegant and more flexible way of doing this that does not require the use of the photo template page (for the gallery page). Check out this entry in the .Mac Blog...

I think this may get you closer to what you want with less effort. You DO have to have your photos organized into albums in iPhoto. And you CANNOT be using a photo template page to do this.

Can't control the icon iweb generates on iweb gallery album and movie page

Okay - here's the problem. I make a great imovie - share it to the .mac web gallery and imovie sets the icon and I don't seem to have any control over the image it displays. It seems to take part of a screen shot of the first few seconds of the movie but I want to change what is displayed and can't figure out how to determine what image is used for the icon of the movie on the iweb gallery page. I have several movies on the page and want to have a logo displayed - not part of the logo. You can see my frustration at calldrew.com and click on the link for iweb pictures and movies. Thanks so much for any help!

Now I haven't actually tried it but I'm guessin you want to modify the 'poster.jpg' file located in your idisk/Web/Sites/_gallery/xxxxx

Photo Gallery page on iWeb - Sharing some experience....

I am an Aperture user and my starting point was to create nice web photo galleries from Aperture...
- I got quickly frustrated with the lack of customization of the standard Aperture Web pages (font, color, size...).
- Aperture 2.1 MobileMe galleries are a bit better but not what i wanted either.
- Then i found out that i could easily export photos from Aperture to iPhoto, and then from iPhoto to iWeb, and that iWeb would offer me more customization options.
- Following that route, i imported my Aperture photos into iPhoto, then used the Share/Send to iWeb/Photo Page function.
- Having some experience using iWeb, i was able to customize the template somehow, but got frustrated by the apparently fixed web page size, which at first seemed to stick to a 700x480 format for the photo gallery... and i would like to show the pics at around 1200x1200....
- Until i played with the Album style pop up window and found that depending on the style chosen, the photo gallery size could expand up to 1200 pix width ! (that with the Album style which is on 1st column/3rd row). But then double clicking on thumbnails would randomly expand the given picture to between 700 and 1200 pix width...
This is where i got to. Now a few questions, if you're still with me :
- Am i correct to assume that there is no direct interface available between Aperture and iWeb, and that i need to use this iPhoto intermediate step?
- Has anyone found a way to fully customize the size of photo galleries in iWeb (both for the thumbnail display area and for the magnified picture area)?
- If not, can someone point me to a comprehensive resource detailing the iWeb template creation steps ?
Thanks in advance, and to add a wish : could Mr Apple think of standardizing/optimizing/improving the web gallery generation process across its platform for the next versions ?

I've read in this forum that Aperture has a setting to make it's photos available to other iApps, see this post, via the Media browser but not galleries created by it in the Web Snippet menu, see the last post in this topic.

Photo gallery page from iWeb '08 doesn't work for Mac OS X 10.3.9 user?

I have recently published a photo gallery page with comments on using iWeb '08 (latest update). Displays fine for me and apparently a lot of other mixed-platform users. But one user is saying that his eMac with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and the Safari of the day don't display the pictures. He gets the banner and background image for the gallery, but not the actual pictures. I asked him to try Firefox, but so far no reply on that.
Do the older versions of Safari work with content from iWeb '08?

The only thing missing when viewed using older browsers is those features that require newer Web browser software.
It was no different when AOL went from version 3 to version 4.
The very complex javascript files written by iWeb 2 still allow older browsers view (limited features) view the basic parts of your pages.
Unfortunately this is not true. On an iMac G4 10.3.9 using Safari you cannot even view the photos, the photo page or even the web gallery itself. You just get a warning. Had I known that my friends and family would have a problem viewing photos I would have passed on the update. I don't expect my Father to upgrade his system to view photos from the "user friendly" Apple programs. That's why we got him an iMac to begin with. I find iLife 08 a very poor release from Apple and more trouble than it is worth.
It was no different when AOL went from version 3 to version 4.
I didn't know AOL even still existed, that alone upgraded!? (haha)
+The images should load but many of the Web 2.0 features will not work (image rollover viewing, changing dimensions or background colors).+
But Kirk, they don't, none of them! and this kind of stuff just seems crazy to some of us. I wish that Apple would TELL US or advertise the facts like, Oh, you only get ONE gallery for each user on Web Gallery (useless) and Oh, you will not be able to edit 06 iWeb pages with 08 iWeb and the iLife 08 version of iPhoto you will not be able to view these galleries without upgrading to the latest Safari web browser. Yes we always expect some bugs with a major update but this is getting ridiculous.
I have not yet had anybody try downloading the newest version of Firefox that will work with 10.3.9. Do you know if that will make a difference? Thanks for your help.

IWeb and galleries - Why cant I make a gallery-page??

Hello! I'm new to Mac (Just bought an MacBook) as well as iWeb. I have pictures from 6 different holidays which I would like to post on the iWeb-site I'm creating at the moment. Is the only solution to make 6 gallery pages right along side the main pages, such as "Welcome", "CV", "blog" and so on? I'm looking for something like a "Gallery page" where you click on a holiday (Icon or picture), which takes you to a page where you can check the photos or watch a slideshow. I've tried a bunch of times, but it won't work, which is why I'm asking out here!
I hope somebody can help me
Thanks either way

Check out this idea from the .Mac Blog...I think it will suit your purposes perfectly and AUTOMATICALLY via iPhoto and iWeb!

Please note, you must have your photos organized into your desired albums in iPhoto. Otherwise, this will create everthing for you! And it won't clutter up your navigation menu!

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

Iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand colum

iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand column? Does anyone know why this happens and what i can do to resolve it? I have tried deleting a file which i saw recommended but it hasn't made any difference

Its possible that the page files, or individual image files are corrupted and you may have to consider rebuilding the page.
Some people find that they can't even delete the page due to the fact that iWeb crashes as soon as they select it.
If you have carried out the trouble shooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
... and the issue is still not resolved, I do have a method of deleting such pages which does work when I try it despite the claims from others that it is not possible.
If you really have to delete the page you can post back here.

Web gallery use vs iWeb photo page

I really like the quick layout of the gallery. Would I be saving more iDisk space by using the Aperture Web gallery vs iWeb photo pages?? My guess is yes because I can control the size in page/detail and more when I save to my .mac. The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages.
My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture. This allows flexibility in adding/removing the galleries if space becomes an issue. I dont have much in iWeb so far and it takes a really long time to load as it is. I'd hate to bog down more with photo galleries.

hello, me100finn

You can always manually make a link to the other web pages which is what I do.
Just a few more added features to Aperture Web Gallery and Web Journal like an advance option feature to view & change the CSS or source code (without going to GoLive or Dreamweaver) or something along the lines of "would you like to add a link to another url?" would be tasty.
quote: "My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture."
Yup, my thoughts too. Maybe version 2 (i hope). I'm making the site first in Aperture (the heavy lifting) and then making minor additions and tweaks in GoLive.
To do this add the image, select it after the export in a wysiwyg html editor and point it to the proper linked url.

Iweb not showing 'Gallery pages' on new Safari 5

I just updated my Safari on my imac to the new 5 version, and suddenly when I view my iweb sites... all pages are ok apart from the gallery pages which are blank! No gallery images show at all....
Anyone have any idea..i went to the mac store and it worked on the mac in store...
but not on both imacs I viewed it on before and after checking at apple shop!
Is it a bug in Safari..or do i need to update 'iweb' or dump safari!

HI.. in Firefox Galleries view fine..... but not Safari.
Which worries me as Safari is the official mac and iphone browser.
I have used iweb extensively over the last years, and tinkered with it a lot.
The galleries going missing really worry me..so i have bought a OS upgrade and iweb 4 now ....
but please view and let me know if the galleries work on two of my sites
www.hinxworthbridal.com
and my vintage magazine site
www.andrewbeswick.co.uk
when you click through to a designers range, you should see a gallery of at least 25 dresses!
on my vintage mags site - its all old Stones and Hendrix pics etc
please let me know what you think
I will try republishing the iweb now too..incase that helps....

Photo gallery Pages cant go "Under" another page or have i missed something

Seems any Photo Gallery page you make always stays at the top level. You don't seem to be able to make say a blank Page and create 3 gallery pages UNDER that page.
What I'd like to do is create a top page called Photo Galleries and in there put 3 photo gallery pages
One called Picture Art, One Garden Art and one Commisioned. UNDER each of these pages I'd like to have 3 Galleries.
The reason I want to do this is to make it easier for people to find exact catagories when they visit my site.

Yes, you can.
Add a My Photoalbum page. In it you can add photopages.
You can drag existing photopages into the My albums page.
It's all there. Visible and ready to use.

How can I get iWeb gallery to display high-res images from iPhoto?

Hi,
I'm trying to add high-res images to an iWeb gallery from iPhoto and cannot get the gallery images to display in high-res (downloaded photos are fine). iWeb settings for importing unchecked for optimisation. Page in question: http://www.samuelboden.com/Samuel_Boden/Gallery.html
Any ideas?

Since iWeb has been discontinued by Apple I'm skeptical if you'll get any help on how to hack the application in order to have larger images in the slideshow. Since MobileMe will be discontinued this June 30 and with it the galleries you might stat looking for an alternative.
One alternative that gives the user considerable latitude in image size and quality is Jalbum. It offers nearly 100 themes or skins. This demo page has one theme that lets you change skins on the fly: Jalbum Examples plus a couple of others.

IWeb Gallery and MobileMeGalleries - what's the difference?

What is the difference between these? So I have two sites gallery.me.com/[YourMemberName]and web.me.com/[YourMemberName]; can they be combined somehow? This is kinda confusing.
So far I find iWeb to less than intuitive and designed poorly. Not the typical Apple easy to use software.

MobileMe Galleries (gallery.me.com......) are created by iPhoto and the iWeb Galleries (web.me.com/.....) are, obviously, created by iWeb.
You can embed iPhoto galleries in an iWeb page using the HTML Snippet button at the bottom of iWeb.
You create an iWeb gallery by selecting an iPhoto album via the Media Browser pane.
They are just created by two different iApps.

SWF into photo gallery page, but thumb links stopped

(PC question). I have a swf header for several web pages, and want a gallery page with the same header. (The header links work fine). The following is a portion of ThumbnailFrame.htm showing how I put the SWF in (using parts of the SWF htm). The page worked fine until the swf was added. Am I going about this wrong? Should I be trying to add the gallery index.htm to the header?? I'm many hours into this and stumped! Ideally, I would like to do the HTML code in the custom gallery style.

How to do a video gallery page

Hi everyone
when you create a new page iWeb lets you choose from some preset pages like the homepage, the blog, the video and the photo gallery.
But the video page lets you put one or more videos in just one page.
If you have many videos and you want to divide them in different categories like the photo gallery page do for photos, how can you do it?
If you select the photo gallery and if you put videos instead of photos from your iTunes inside of it, it seems to do the job, but I can't use this trick cause I have not enough hosting space to store the videos, and infact I uploaded them in youtube and with the youtube widget the photo gallery doesn't work and shows nothing...
Did someone know how to create a video gallery page (or something like that) with videos from youtube?
Thanks
Message was edited by: PaoloPhino

This is one way you could do it: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. The thumbnails can be as small as you'd like. This way none of the video files have to load before they play button is selected. Otherwise the page would take forever to load.
How the button is created is described in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
OR you could use a video jutebox like the one on this page: http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/Our_Videos.html.
His tutorial on how to implement it is here: http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/jukebox.html.

Internet Explorer 7 - Trouble loading iWeb 08 Pages

Is anyone else having trouble with iWeb 08 pages not loading properly when viewed in Internet Explorer 7?
Everything loads fine on a Mac (Firefox 2.0) and even on a PC using Firefox but when viewing the site from IE7 it seems like pages containing photos (ie photo pages and blog entries) are having trouble loading completely. The images never appear or some images appear or some thumbnails fail to appear in the new photo gallery page.
Solutions? Work arounds? Or is this just a bug that needs to be repaired in an upgrade?
I love the Mac but the new iWeb and iPhoto seem a little glitchy out of the box.

mtd,
I tested your site on my PC with IE 7. No problems. In fact I tested load times for both Safari (Mac) and IE (PC) and they were almost identical. I compared screens side by side and they looked the same. Some of you may not have updated versions of IE. Additionally the IE browser settings can be a bit tricky. You know, it's MS so troubleshooting is a given! One suggestion is to delete all the cookies currently running in IE 7 and give it another viewing.
I have noticed that some themes slow down both browsers. It's a matter of complexity of the theme.
All the Best,
