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!

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.

Adding a link to web gallery

hi, i have an iWeb homepage that links to an aperture web gallery. is there anyway to put a link in the aperture web gallery that links back to my iWeb homepage? thanks. (running aperture 1.5 if that makes any difference)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have managed to open the page in an html editor, but unfortunately, to keep the style constant, it means a lot of futzing around, like changing the page settings. Also, it is very difficult to get rid of the default underlined text, as I am not all that familiar with complex css coding and the way some of these html editors work. It is easy enough to just type the text in the main thumbnail caption block which is relatively easy to do, paste the link into the inspector of the html editor (I used Adobe Golive) and change the page settings so the text matched nicely.
I would much rather Apple do a revision on Aperture to include this possibility as a metadata object (or am I missing something!)
I must say that 1.5 is a great improvement, and I have begun using the application in earnest. I love the nice clean style sheets, and also the way the pages are numbered, and the data generated for the web is compact.
Good one, Apple

Links to web gallery don't work from blog preview

I used the idea by somebody in this forum (sorry, forgot who!) to have a blog with each entry linking directly to the various different view options of the .mac web gallery, like this:
http://web.mac.com/kazazi/PiNoProductions/Photos/Entries/2007/9/1September2007.html
However, now the links don't work anymore from the blog preview, because the #and & characters in the web gallery's url get scrambled.
Does anybody know why this is or how I can fix this?

i have the same problem. has anyone fixed this?

Slide Shows in iLife, iPhoto, iWeb '08 and Web Gallery

I have iLife '08 abd thus iWeb '08 and developed my website in 2006 using iWeb '06. I also belong to .Mac and therefore have access to that Web Gallery or .Mac Gallery (unsure which name it has). I like the newer slide shows/carousels that are newly available and would like to know whether I can make such slide shows and place such slide shows in my iWeb website.
I realize that another alternative is to make a slide show and put it in the Web Gallery and access it in my website via a URL pointing to the slidehow.
Is it true that ALL OF THE VARIATIONS OF SLIDE SHOWS are created in iPhoto '08? If so, then I guess if I make the slideshows there, I can decide where I want to place them (in my website or in Web Gallery).

I have found an answer thanks to jaxjason in this post:

Go to web gallery, find out the album ID that you need to delete.
iDisk -> Web -> Sites -> _gallery
Delete the album ID of the albums that arn't in iphoto.
Then resync the albums missing.

Inserting html link in web gallery

Link To Web Gallery doesn't work

I created a password protected web gallery in Aperture, but when it has completed uploading, the URL to the gallery doesn't work, it never loads in Safari. When I go to My Gallery home page I see the icon for the gallery with the lock as it should be but when I click on it, I get the message " that access for this gallery is restricted and to contact the owner of the gallery" instead of asking me for the password.
If a gallery is not password protected it shows up just fine. Am I missing something? Why doesn't the url for a password protected gallery work.

Just as a note, it works fine in Firefox. It seems to be an issue with Safari and .Mac.

Obfuscating mailto link in Web Gallery

hello...
I'm using the Web module a lot, and want to use the "Contact Info" and "Mail or Web Link" fields.
The thing is, I want to obfuscate my e-mail address so that mail scavenging bots can't collect it to generate spam. But I haven't been able to figure out how to do it in the Web module, at least in the Lightroom HTML Gallery (I'm still on Lightroom 1.4, soon to upgrade to 2).
I can see that the html generated by the default values in the template is:
<div id="contact">
<a href="mailto:user@domain"> <span
class="textColor" id="metadata.contactInfo.value">Contact Name</span>
</a>
</div>
I use JavaScript to do the obfuscation, but if I put that in the Web or Mail Link field, I get:
<div id="contact">
<a href="./<script> obfuscated code here </script>"> <span
class="textColor" id="metadata.contactInfo.value">Contact Name</span>
</a>
</div>
which is just wrong. I don't really want to edit every generated index page to put in the contact data, so I was wondering if there's some way to persuade Lightroom to do it.
The way the code should look (well, at least a way that seems to work) is something like:
<a href="mailto:"><script> obfuscated code here </script></a>
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help!
-Eric

Yep: get the link in the SDK forum, read the SDK and then edit the gallery template. That way you only need to enter the code once..

Cannot publish album to web gallery, nor to iweb

today, I tried publishing an album to my web gallery and iphoto "quit unexpectedly" then (after the relaunch), I tried going to preferences, which caused it to quit again. nothing I do seems to resolve this (I've restarted, and have also tried deleting the prefs file - numerous times).
then I tried to send the album to iweb - and iweb "quit unexpectedly" as well. even worse, now iWeb won't even launch! (keep getting the "quit unexpectedly" error. (I've tried deleting the prefs file for iweb and iapps as well, to no avail.)
otherwise, iphoto works fine - it's just when trying to send to iweb, publishing to web gallery, or accessing the preferences that it freezes (and quits).
the last time I tried coordinating these apps (and publishing to my web gallery) was a month ago, and everything worked perfectly. could this be related to a bug in a recent software update?
can anyone help me figure out what's wrong? I'm terribly frustrated...
thanks!

Thanks for the link, I just installed the update and rebooted. Unfortunately, the problem persists!
iWeb does not launch at all - I get an 'opening' message, then the "quit unexpectedly" error message appears. here's first part of the report:

As for iPhoto, it launches and works okay unless I click "Web Gallery" or try to open Preferences. Here's the error report (similar to the one for iWeb):

(The irony here is that I used DreamWeaver/Photoshop/ftp upoaders to design and publish my previous sites and, as a new mom, thought I'd save time by taking advantage of Apple's seamless (albeit boxed) software to make a simple and easily-updatable photo site for my daughter. This was supposed to make my life easier! )

Allowing customer to select their picks from a web gallery and creating a new Collection.

I would like to be able to send my customer with a link to web gallery with my first picks of the photo shooting for their selection.
Customer would be able to select, from the web gallery their favorites.
The service /plugin should be able to then, send me some sort of information that would allow me to automate the creation of another Collection only with their picks in LighRoom 4.
I am using juicebox and love it, but I could not find a way to do this. Any suggestions?

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?

Kurt:
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.

How to break link between iWeb and web gallery?

I have created an external webpage with the use of iWeb, and I have inserted the photos widget through the web gallery which sits on my personal .Mac account (ie. different to the external website which has an independent - no mac - .com address)
I would like people to view the picture widget on the external website (a business website) I have created, but I do not want them to click on it and then be directed to my home web gallery. Basically I just want them to be able to see the rolling pictures, but nothing more.
Does anyone know how to avoid this link from working?

Hi Kodi,
As far as I know, the object link to material is part of SAP standard customer delivery. Then there is really small customer settings you have to maitain, actually the fields Destination and Web server, as the SAP never knows the name of the system, which customer will use.
Or you talk about others than the 0PLANTMATERIAL, 0PLANTMAT_LONG. If you create new object link type, the install guide 'Collaboration Projects (cProjects): Guide Impl. Object Link ' in the https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/plm-inst should give you detailded information.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Can I link iWeb and Web Gallery so Web Gallery appears as part of iWeb?

Anyone know how to link iWeb to Web Gallery so the latter appears to be part of the former? Apple seems to have set them up to be separate things.

In iWeb click on the Web Widgets button at the bottom of the iWeb main window.
In the drop down list you can select Mac Gallery, from here you can insert an item directly from one of you .Mac Gallery contents.

Aperture web gallery - how to link back to main page from iWeb?

Okay, this may be simple, but I can't figure it out.
I created and uploaded a few web pages with iWeb to my dot.Mac account (web.mac.com/f8lee50) just to get a feel for things. I then created a web gallery with Aperture and uploaded it - naturally Aperture generated a URL for the gallery, which I set up as a link on my "Photos from Hawaii" page (the link is the word 'this' in the second paragraph, if you wawnt to look).
Okay, so this gets me from the "photos from Hawaii" page to the gallery, and within the gallery I can jump to the various images etc. But how does one navigate back to the "Photos from Hawaii" page from whence they came? Is there some sort of smart link that can be inserted (by Aperture?) that will send the viewer back to the main homepage? Or are the Aperture galleries essentially dead ends?

Richard, thanks for responding - I'll check that tutorial.
And thank you for the kind words, me100finn. I have not played with any variables as far as layout on the gallery (I did a bunch of stuff with the books, but the web gallery seems far less flexible) so I cannot answer your wuestion about the gray shadows.
Steve, thank you for the additional clarification (and the hint about spaces in URLs) - I guess what this all boils down to is that the web galleries from Aperture are not all that useful when they are meant to be a part of a bigger overall site. I'm not sure of what you meant when you say they have little forward or backward navigation in them - at least you can click on a thumbnail to get to an image, click next or previous or the grid to get back to the thumbnail galery. But, 'twould seem that hand coding HTML pages (the very thing I was hoping to avoid) is the only way to really integrate them. Given that, I gues the better approach will be just to use iWeb to load the images anyway.
Well, folks, thank you all for your answers. Until I do a re-do, I guess the back button is the way to go (which, for the record, I did sorta figure out myself

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.
