Manipulating photo pages

Hi, I am new to iWeb. I am trying to develop a gallery site for photographs to be displayed. I would like to be able to post one or two large photos per page. The inspector allows no less than two columns. Also, how does one delete the sample photos that are on the "photo" page?
There is mention of a grid, but I do not see it.
Any help would be appreciated. You may post here and/or e-mail me at

If you are using a "photo" page, the default photos disappear once you drag one of your pictures onto the photo page. You could always write a message at the top of the photo page telling users to click the photo to see a larger version. That way you can have a large number of photos (up to 99) on a single photo page and still provide users with the option of enlarging any of the photos on that page. Some browsers do not support clicking a picture to enlarge it. For best results, your visitors should be using Safari or Explorer 6.
If you want to display one or two full size photos without the need to have users click a photo to enlarge it, you can use one of the other iWeb templates (like "Welcome") bysimply deletint the default picture and text then dragging your full size photo onto the blank template. You will still have the blank text boxes but you don't have to worry about these because they won't show up when someone visits your website.

  • IWeb Photo Page Troubles....

    Hi,
    I've created a page photo page with iWeb, and published it to a folder. I copied the html file and the associated folder to mt server, however,b The pictures wont enlarge when clicked, and the sideshow function wont work, due to javascript problems...
    Everything works fine locally..
    here is the link... http://www.imaginationcreations.com/misc/Eclipse_Photos.html
    Thanks in advance!

    The Apple enhanced slideshow is intended to be a .Mac-only feature, so without doing some behind-the-scenes file manipulation, it is not expected to be functional on sites that are not hosted on .Mac.

  • Create a photo page and have the photo's link to other internal pages

    really basic quesiton, sorry but I can't do this for some reason. I created a photo page that is going to be a menu page to link to some internal pages. for some reason the Enable as a Hyperlink is greyed out and I can't click on it to make the image a hyperlink.
    Any help or suggestions?
    Thanks

    What you need to do is place a shape over the top of the image, then using Inspector, Graphic Tab give it an Opacity of 1% then you can make the shape a hyperlink.
    The imageholders on the photo page cannot be used as hyperlinks.
    Alos you must giv ethe shape an opacity of at least 1%, if you try 0% it will not work.

  • Drag and Drop to photo page creates links, doesn't replace placeholders

    I searched the discussions for quite a while and didn't find much similar to this topic. Basically, drag and drop is no longer working on my iWeb and my photo grids will not accept pictures to replace the placeholder (sample) photos. I will try to explain the whole problem in detail.
    I am a new iWeb user, and I set up a page without any problems at first. Yet when I returned in iWeb to add another photo page today, I have had a lot of trouble. I used the template Photo Page and opened the Inspector and the Media Viewer to drag photos onto the placeholder photos, as the Help pages and tutorials show. Yet when I drag the picture file from the Media Viewer into the photo grid, only a small text box appears that sets up a hyperlink to the photo file on my computer. I've tried messing with the inspector, seeing what the difference is between the placeholder photos' settings and the files I'm trying to add.
    The only differences I can see are: in the Link Inspector's pane I can tell the program is at first making a hyperlink to the file instead of displaying the photo (yet disabling the hyperlink doesn't change anything); also,
    In the Graphic Inspector pane that appears when I have selected a general area in the photo grid, at the top the "Style" , "Layout" and "Caption" options appear, along with a display of a sample photo style. When I click on one of the rectangles that appears with the file I am trying to drag and drop, I have only the "fill" option, which has "none" selected. Fiddling with the options does not get the photo to appear.
    I can see the blue grid surrounding the placeholder photos, so the photo grid exists. I have also tried using different templates' photo pages, but they all have the same problem. I also tried creating an album in iPhoto and importing it to iWeb, but only two photos appeared out of 12.
    So the main part of my problem is not that photos don't appear at all (if I try and insert them they appear on their own, completely independant of the template's style and the photo grid)., it is that they do not work with the photo grid and that drag-and-drop no longer works.
    Any information that could help is greatly appreciated.

    Susan,
    Try out the following things. These suggestions are
    sort of the starting point for non-specific strange
    behavior in iWeb.
    1. Delete iWeb preference file at:
    YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences
    /"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
    2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at:
    YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMedi
    aBrowser.plist"
    3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk
    Utility
    4. Reboot machine
    5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the
    Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original
    iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update
    directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
    These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some
    kind of positive results from people having similar
    problems.
    I am having the same problem Susan described. I've tried #1 and #2 from the above recommendations and still have the same problem of photos not opening in the photo page after dragging them from iphoto. I, too, published a site (not on .Mac, but I don't know if that matters) and now want to add a photo page. Also, the template shows six placeholders, but when I select the photo page only three appear.
    Hope you can help. Thank you.

  • Need help making photo page look clean,Time to show up on Google? Photoshop

    Just bought this Mac 2 days ago and am trying to make the switch. I was computer illeterate on my Dell as well but so far this program is pretty neat. I am trying to get my photo page cleaned up. I would like all the photos in a single row across the page with only one photo displayed underneath. I have seen a few demos with that done but I cannot figure it out. Ideally a slideshow would start automatically but I really just want a cleaned up page vs. a blob of photos.
    My site is http://www.greasysideup.com
    The picture demo is here http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#album - the scuba picture on the far right of the iweb showcase is the look I am going for.
    Additionally how long does it take to show up on a google search? I am following one of the listings on here on how to do that. On the google search pages there is a brief description of the page as well, I believe it is the title page. How do I make Google say how cool my site is? if it ever shows up on google?
    Last question - is there a program on my Mac similar to photoshop? I want to do some simple 3-d looking text angled slightly as if it is coming out of the screen with my name and the name of my business.
    The other thing I want to do is take this picture, make the background black and make the planes orange or red then put those in the background on one of the pages.
    /Users/joshwilson/Downloads/Yak50_profile.jpg
    (I need to learn to post a jpg in the forums as well I guess!!) The photo is the last one on my website photo page labeled Yak 50_profile. I want to make the background black and the outline orange.
    Thanks for all the help. This site is great! I think I'll be glad I made the Mac Switch.

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

  • 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?

    Hope this would help.

  • Can a Photo page be used as thumbnail links to movie pages?

    I've made a photo page with say 20 or so photo thumbnails. I have made separate movie pages for each movie. Dragged each movie page link to the related picture on the photo page and sized the button to be the same size as the thumbnail image. Checked that the button is linking to the correct movie page.
    In iWeb, when I "make links active", everything works properly. But once it's uploaded, the thumbnails/buttons, when clicked, open up a new browser window with just the jpg thumbnail.
    Any ideas to get this to work? Or do I have to start over, and lay it all out maually?

    I think the problem may be related to the Photo page template. When you click on the thumbnail, I think there is some built-in functionality to open a new slideshow window or something.
    Instead of using the Photo gallery template, try using a plain page...one of the templates with as few elements as possible...maybe the movie template. Then manually add your movie thumbnails and size them to your liking. then add the hyperlinks to your movie pages to each thumbnail. I think you might find that this works better.

  • 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).

  • Buttons appear as Question Marks in Photo Page

    Hey all,
    I've been having this problem where buttons (Start Slideshow, Email Me, and Made on a Mac) show up as Question Marks on one of my Photo pages (titled "New Photos)
    Follow Link below:
    http://web.mac.com/adventurestorys/iWeb/Site%201/New%20Photos.html
    In the past I've been able to make a small change to the page and re-publish which corrects the problem. But this one is stubborn. Any advice?
    Note that I have already tried the "Publish all to .Mac" and that didn't help. And I do Empty my Cache in Safari after Publishing. Also, the problem only occurs on this particular photo page, the others in the site are just fine. So I recreated the page from scratch and re-published, but that still didn't help. Not sure what to try next. Thanks for your help.

    Cabo23:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I see what you mean. The images for the buttons are not located by the page but they still work. Are these special image files you're using or the ones that come with the theme?
    You might try creating a new photo page, select all of the photos from the old page and past into the placeholder on the new one. Do the same for the text, copy it from the old and past into the text box from the new. Then publish to a folder on the desktop and see if the buttons are correct. If so , delete the old page, rename the new one to the old name and publish.

  • Buttons in my photo page are showing up as "blue question marks?

    When I updated my website last night, the arrow buttons in my photo pages show up as blue boxes with question marks in them. This has never happen before. All of the images are fine, text is fine, even the numbers for the various pages of the photo album, just the "arrows" have the little "?" symbol. I have restarted the computer, refreshed, reset Safari, emptied the cache and nothing seems to work. I had a second party look on their Mac if it was the same on theirs and it is too.
    I am posting to a server (not using mobile me). Any suggestions???

    Publish to a local folder and launch this version in the browser by double clicking the index.html file.
    If this is OK it means that you haven't uploaded all the files to the server.
    If its not OK, try deleting the iWeb preference file before the restart. See "Fix iWeb" here....

  • 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.
