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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Larger Pictures from iWeb photo album

Hello,
I have created a photo album through iweb but when I click on the photos I have a bar with all the photos one next to the other and the one that I chose is larger below. I need to have the chosen picture in a larger scale as the default is quite small for my taste.
Is there a way through iweb to do this??
Thank you for your time.

Is this an example of what you want to accomplish: Custom iPhoto Album. Directions on how to create it is included on the page.

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.

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

Setting key photo for iWeb photo album

This one's confusing me a little. I'm trying to select a key photo for my album in iWeb, but it keeps defaulting to the first photo in the album. I would've thought it would be similar to selecting a key photo for an event in iPhoto (i.e. just scrolling to the desired photo and hitting the space bar), but no go. Just wondering if anybody has figured out how to do it. Thanks

I think the iWeb programmers thought we would be excited enough by the mouse over feature of the albums.
You could send them feedback suggesting this feature for a future update as others have asked the same question.

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...

How to convert iWeb photo album slideshows into iMovies?

iLife '06/iMovie HD 6
I have some slide shows that would probably be much more interesting if I converted them into iMovies with transitional effects, music, etc.
I bought iLife '06 and Tiger in July, '06 and now have my website up and running but aside from making an iMovie out of my footage taken with my Sony digital video camera recorder (DCR-TRV 11) I want to make those still slideshows more interesting.
My website is: http://web.mac.com/lorna6
You'll see that I have several slideshows with still photographs.
I have SEEN iMovies which are made with stills, so I know that it is possible; I just don't know how to do it, and have never worked with iMovie.
If you know of a site (other than the Apple tutorials) that is good for teaching beginners, please, could you let me know? Thank you.
Lorna in Southern California

Oh oh. I just now found an Apple tutorial that mentions using photos with iMovie. I think that I might have found what I was earlier requesting. Sorry sorry. Lorna in Southern California

Multiple photo albums

In posting iWeb photo albums under .Mac I can only get one up at a time, the new one wants to replace the previous. Is is possible to have multiples with different names?

Make up your albums in iPhoto and drag then from the "media" window onto an iWeb "albums" template.
Select album title and /or # of photos from the "media index" which will popup when you click within the album template box.

IWeb - Photo Upload

Hi,
I have an iWeb site set up and have photo albums created....what I want to know is if its possible for my friends to upload pictures to an existing photo album? Is there any way to allow the public access to create and upload photos.....thanks for your help

Hi sundeepoad!
I perused the iWeb online "Help" and did not find any info on uploading files to your iWeb photo album page (though apparently a viewer can leave comments).
However, you can - if you use MobileMe - place your MobileMe album thumbnails on an iWeb page which link to a particular MobileMe album. On the MobileMe Album page you can allow uploading by others. I do not believe they can create their own albums on your MobileMe site, just add to an existing one(s).

Getting rid of titles in photo albums

Hi,
after sending photos from iphoto to an iweb photo album, I don´t want iweb to display any titles. I usually work with keywords, so my unchanged titles are pretty vacant, eg dsc001, img001. Doesn´t make sense to show them. Any way to delete them in batch?
Thanks mik

Glueslabs,
There's no way to turn off the drop shadows in iMovie HD.
You'll find that the drop shadows can greatly improve the legibility of your titles when viewed on a standard definition television.
