Iweb & photo viewers

Hi
I have built a website using iweb 08, its only a start...( http://www.wildlifeinpix.com ) I have not uploaded many photo's yet but watch this space!!
I have looked at other photography sites and I quite like some of the photo viewers that I see used on other sites. for example, simpleviewer. Although there seems to be some issues with simpleviewer & iweb from what I can read on this forum. I do appreciate there are issues with everything though.
I was wondering if the more experienced users here might suggest some good album viewers that are compatible with iweb 08, or does iweb 09 have better features?
Would I be better just not using iweb altogether and hosting with say lycos for example and using third party software to create my album viewer??
Some feedback from people here would be appreciated, how do you present your albums? What album viewer do you use? Who do you host with?
I know its like twenty questions but thanks in advance for any input.
Gerry..........

Gerry ~ One approach is to use MobileMe Gallery:
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/features/gallery.html
...which can be embedded into an iWeb page — see this video tutorial:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/#mobilemegal
There's also Flickr's galleries which can be displayed as a "slideshow". 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_.
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.

Trying to figure how photos "travel" from iPhoto to my iWeb photo pages

Greetings,
I have I believe gotten t understand just about all I need for now about building web sites with iWeb and its templates (for now). Works well. I am publishing to my .Mac account (for now).
Now, I want to fully understand how photos albums/pages are kept up/coordinated, on my computer, on .Mac Gallery and on the actual .Web site (on .Mac)
Here what I have done so far in regard to posting and upkeeping photos (works well!):
Selected pics from iPhoto >>> Made albums on my MBP
Published Albums on Web Gallery
Built website with iWeb
Built photo pages/my album page (indexing)
Inserted my Web Gallery albums into my website
Published the whole thing on .Mac.
My questions:
*1. Somewhere in Tutorials, it says that: "with .Mac Web Gallery, you can get the shots you wish you had by allowing friends to contribute photos (from their browsers, email). And, whenever new photos are added, they are automatically sinced to your iPhoto08 library".* I am assuming same should/would happen when my iWeb site viewers upload theirs pics (which I am encouraging!) to my Web galleries via my iWeb site. I do not see that happen however. Web gallery gets of course updated by such uploads, +but NOT iPhoto library.+
2. Some other iWeb Tutorial states *"If you are a .Mac member, you can publish photos/movies from iPhoto and iMovie directly to your Web Gallery. When a Gallery photo album is updated, your website is updated automatically with the new content."*. In the case of my site viewers' uploads to my gallery, works OK, but +my site's pages do not show the new photos.+. Any way to better coordinate my .Mac Web galleries with my (also) .Mac Web Pages?
I hope this is clear enough. I have LOOKED for some more info/tutorial about iWeb/Web Galleries/Viewer photo uploads from my Web site, but have not founded anything specific.
Thanks for any advice!
- Roger Y

_*Thanks a lot, Wyodor for your detailed reply.*_
It just happens that I have gotten quite fond of the way iLife as a suite - along with its online (.Mac in my case) components) seem to keep a good, purposeful flow of things going.
So, indeed, as I am currently looking at the stuff on my .Mac site, Web GAllery and My Pages respective materials are not actually linked in terms, especially, of allowing Web Gallery albums' updates to "flow" into My Pages areas.
Too bad in a way! Unless I decide to use the Widget feature in iWeb to link my website photo pages specifically to Web Gallery albums - as suggested by Roddy. Currently I use iWeb template system - with Photo Pages and MyAlbums index.
You stated:
+"Your iWeb page shows the tiny player with your dotMac Webgallery.+
+Click on the tiny player, and the full Web gallery opens."+
Where is that button actually?
"Your iPhoto library will be update updated vice versa."
I'll have to check that out then!
Thanks again!

Want to show image description in an iweb photo gallery

Is there a way to get the description data field to display for each photo when you make a gallery (or album page)? We took hours to add nice desctiptions for each photo and can't get them to show in the iweb/iphoto gallery.
I'm using 'publish to folder' so that I can host the gallery on my own website.
Also, each photo has the 'title' field showing, not even the file name I've given each photo. So the file name doesn't show either. Is there a way to show the file name?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

bjenrol:
Where are these descriptions entered? If you used the Description field in iPhoto you can use this Applescript to move the descriptions to the title field which will display in the iWeb photo page. Be sure to remove the Å from the script before saving. It's an error. When you're done importing to iWeb you can use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name to get the original file names back in that field.

IWeb photo gallery does not work in IE

Does anyone know why iWeb photo gallery does not work in Internet Explorer but does work in Safari, Chrome & Firefox?

What kind of a response are you looking for with a post like that, seriously? Change this or that in your unprovided code? Use this or that gallery, which may be the gallery you're already using. We don't know because you haven't mention specifics, provided any code, or any other relevant information to produce a helpful response. All you've said is you click a link and it's white. Kudos.
We're not mind readers and no one is looking over your shoulder watching what you're doing. Get it together... and when you do, post a link so we can see what you're talking about. jeez.

IWeb photo gallery comparison with PicasaWeb

How iWeb Photo Galleries are compared to say, PicasaWeb Albums ? or even PBase or Shutterfly ?
In terms of attractive visual presentation?
Worth investing $100?
Thanks!

You are missing a number of files from your website. You can see which are missing by bringing up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) while viewing the Places page in Safari and looking at the list of files in the window.
How are you publishing the site? With iWeb? If so then try using the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option to see if that will force those missing files to be uploaded.
If that doesn't work you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client, like the free Cyberduck, to upload the site files. If you have to continue to use Cyberduck this tutorial may help: #2 - Uploading Only Those Newly Published or Edited Files When Using a 3rd Party FTP Client.

Iweb photo gallery question

I have created an Iweb photo gallery on my website, and I wish to add links to each individual photo so that when a person clicks for the full view of the photo a link will appear somewhere on the page. I want each link to be specific to each photo. I have tried adding captions and making them links, but they don't work, they're un-clickable. Is there any possible way to do this in Iweb?

There are a number of ways you could add ecommerce to your site. I'm not familiar with the option but if you do a search for ecommerce in this forum you'll get several topics on the subject. Roddy has some very good information at this http://www.musicformusicians.com site.

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.

hey guys...I found this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10742043&#10742043 Aztian said that his photos load faster using iWeb Photo Albums...it would be nice to have more info...thanks!

IWeb Photo Sharing problems

We have a iWeb photo page where visitors were able to click on a picture and save it on their own computer with it being a normal file size. Now, it seems when you try to save a picture it is shows up as "transparent" and only allows you to choose .gif or .bmp as the file extension.
I am not sure what changed....any thoughts??!!

...same question here: some of the photos on my site (www.christelvanmeeuwen.eu - still under the old iWeb for now) are from families, and, though they've let me use them for my site, should not simply be available for download, unless with explicit permission. On the other hand, I want to make some other photos available for free download, e.g. is someone wants to use them on his site or so (the Creative Commons philosophy).
So it would be quite convenient to be able to switch the download possibility on or off.
(I know that its virtually always possible to download an image on a site, one could always use a image grabber or so - but having the download button always there of course doesn't help...)
Any hint would be helpful,
Kind regards,
Christel

IWeb Photo galleries not appearing in latest Firefox

Anyone else notice that the latest Firefox won't show the iweb photo galleries?
They do show up in IE and safari, but not firefox. I've tested on all 3 browsers on both Mac and PC (well, not IE for mac, cause it doesn't exist anymore)
here is the url to the photo page. http://www.pgbond.com/Site/Concert_Photos.html
if you have multiple browsers, give it a try and let me know.

Phil,
I had a similar problem last week - even Safari was not working with the Gallery for a while. Then Safari started working, but not Firefox. Old Toad had gone through different things with me to no avail. I got onto Apple live Chat and someone talked me through clearing the cache and cookies. And that got the gallery working. But a couple of days later, the Firefox stopped working again - but back working within a few hours. I tried your page and the message said that the pages could not be found. When mine was down, I was getting a message saying that my browser did not support this gallery, but the message had a copyright of 2007 and it referred to an old Mac OS (Tiger) and old Firefox. So it looked like that was an old message. Touch wood - Firefox has been working now for several days. So try clearing the cache and see if that helps.

Exif info from JPEG exports from LR 5.6 doesn't display in some photo viewers

I've noticed that when I export JPEGs from LR, the Exif for things like the aperture, shutter speed, and exposure doesn't display in photo viewers like Gallery and QuickPic on my Android tablet. Using an Exif reader, the fields are there. I think I have traced it to: if the original image imported into Lightroom was a jpg, the Exif will display. If the original image was raw (NEF), the Exif won't display. Has anyone else seen this?

I examined your sample .jpg with Exiftool, the most authoritative metadata tool available, and I also used the following tools to examine the metadata:
OS X 10.9.5: Finder, Preview, Photoshop CC 2014, LR 5.6, exiv2
Windows 8.1: File Explorer, Irfanview 4.38
All of these were able to display the EXIF metadata, including exposure information, without problems, and Exiftool didn’t flag any nonconformities. So it seems that it’s the Android apps that aren’t conforming to the standards.
Looking at the internal structure of the LR-produced .jpg, I suspect that it is producing a layout of the IFD0, IFD1, and ExifIDF sections that the Android apps aren’t expecting (because the developers didn’t follow the standards). LR produces the following ordering: unused bytes, ExifIFD, IFD1, IFD0. A more typical ordering would be: (no unused bytes), IFD0, ExfIFD, IFD1. Both orderings conform with the standards.
You could test out this hypothesis by obtaining a copy of the free Exiftool and then in a Terminal window (Mac) or command prompt (Windows) do the following command:
exiftool –exif:usercomment=”Hello world!” sample.jpg
This will cause Exiftool to rewrite the Exif metadata in the more-common ordering. If the Android apps can now see the EXIF exposure metadata in the modified sample.jpg, then that confirms the apps are non-standards-conforming and should be fixed.

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
quote: "The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages."
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.

Shadowbox problem in Default iWeb Photos Page

Hi Guys,
Ive been using shadowbox to create a pop up menu when the user clicks on the login button of my website.
http://www.sotonpcp.org then click the Login button at the top.
To do this I have:
1. Created a link to the desired page with iWeb
2. Published site to a folder
3. Used search and replace to add the shadow box code just before the </head> command
4. Used search and replace to add the shadow box reference to all links containing the Login reference
I have referenced the root directory for the shadowbox file reference so that the menu will work on all levels of the directory. (e.g. Within iWeb blog articles)
However, the problem I am having is that when i load my iWeb photo gallery, none of the albums are displayed. The shadowbox works fine, but renders my gallery page useless.
If I delete the shadowbox folder from my root directory then it works again. Re-upload it and it breaks again.
Any ideas on why this might be, and if so how do I fix it?
Best Regards,
Mike

I was thinking the same thing. I guess if it's working on your iPad and my iMac it's got something to do with with the iPhone 4. Although, I'm not ruling out the idea of iWeb not being iOS 4 friendly. You'd think Apple would optimize their iWeb sites for mobile devices, because this happens whether it's on WiFi or 3G. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

IWeb Photo Captioning from Aperture Metadata

I'm not sure if this should be under iWeb or Aperture. I use Aperture 2.1 and iWeb '08 2.0.3. In iWeb I have albums of photos from Aperture. When using the media browser for adding Aperture photos into iWeb, the standard nomenclature is for the iWeb caption to use the Aperture 'Version Name'. Since iWeb can be set to have more than one caption line, I was wondering if there was a way to map Aperture metadata into the multiple lines of iWeb photo captions? As it is, any additional iWeb caption lines have to be added manually. Can this additional caption information be added automatically?

I'm banging my head on this too.. I prefer to use iWeb for several reasons: one is that I publish to a non-Apple webhost; and I prefer the editing capabilities of iWeb vs Aperture/iPhoto -- plus the templates are more varied.
It's hard to believe that Apple doesn't provide this extremely basic capability. I've noticed other threads on this & it doesn't seem that it's possible.

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.

hey guys...I found this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10742043&#10742043 Aztian said that his photos load faster using iWeb Photo Albums...it would be nice to have more info...thanks!

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.
