Photo captions in iWeb

Greetings,
I'm just creating my first site using iWeb but I am having trouble with photo captions. I am using a blank template and inserting photos into the text with a wrap round. that's fine. However, I can't work out how to put captions under the photos. I've tried using a text box but it won't drag up close to the photo,because  some of the handles remain white and the text on the page moves away from the box so it looks bad. . I've searched through help but can't find an answer there.
If anyone has any thoughts I'd be grateful

Your problem is that you cannot follow instructions even when they are spelled out.
The instruction is not to DROP an image on the textbox, the instruction is to PASTE the image in the textbox.
UPDATE:
Here s a picture.
1. A picture
2. The picture in the textbox with a caption.
3. The picture in the textbox with a caption inside a textbox with your text wrapped around it.

  • Photo Captions in iWeb '08

    Hi I am new to iWeb, having just purchased a new iMac with iLife '08 installed. I had been using a shareware program called "Better HTML Export" with iPhoto '04 to quickly create photo albums for my website,which worked well, but I have been looking forward to using iWeb which promises to be even easier.
    My question is this: is there a way to use the "description" field in iPhoto as the caption for a photo in iWeb? Better HTML Export has a feature where the image title is displayed beneath the thumbnail for an image, but the description field text is displayed beneath the full-size picture. Can I do this in iWeb?

    I had the same question, and cutting and pasting would be too laborious for my purpose.
    In essence, I am accumulating hundreds of photos that have names, keywords, and descriptions. I can create a smart album (perhaps due to a customer query) using these words within iPhoto and then publish that smart album to iWeb. If a particular smart album has 50 photos, I wouldn't want to cut and paste the description field in iPhoto to the name of the photos in iWeb.
    I would imagine it would be easy to add the ratings, keywords, description field, or other photo properties to be displayed in iWeb automatically - but wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

  • Script to change photo caption in iWeb to iPhoto comment text

    Hi,
    Does any body know, how I could automatic replace the caption of the photos I have imported from iPhoto with the Media Browser to iWeb with the comment text I have in iPhoto for every photo?
    It should be just a script, which gets told the album and the looks for the file name which is in the caption, reads the comment for the photo in iPhoto and then puts replaces the caption with it in iWeb, then the next photo ...
    I'm not good in scripting.;-(
    Thanks and Regards,
    JO

    Ok, here my script, what I'm using now to copy the comment to the title in iPhoto before importing the photos to iWeb:
    try
    tell application "iPhoto"
    activate
    copy (my selected_images()) to these_images
    if these_images is false then ¬
    error "Please select the images."
    display dialog "Copy comment to title for the selected photos?"
    set the image_count to the count of these_images
    display dialog "Processing " & (the image_count as string) & " photos." & return & return & "This will take a moment..." buttons {"•"} default button 1 giving up after 2
    repeat with i from 1 to the image_count
    set this_photo to item i of these_images
    tell this_photo
    set the title to the comment of this_photo
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell
    on error error_message number error_number
    tell application "iPhoto"
    activate
    if the error_number is not -128 then
    display dialog error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
    end if
    end tell
    end try
    on selected_images()
    tell application "iPhoto"
    try
    -- get selection
    set these_items to the selection
    -- check for single album selected
    if the class of item 1 of these_items is album then error
    -- return the list of selected photos
    return these_items
    on error
    return false
    end try
    end tell
    end selected_images

  • IWeb photo captions published via ftp?

    I'm new to iWeb - are photo captions published via ftp now that MobileMe is defunct?  The info in Publish Site says no.  As I wish to use photos purchased and downloaded from a stock agency, they must be captioned with the photographer's name.  I can work around this by acknowledging the photographers in a list above the Album I've created rather than under each photo (if this proves to be acceptable to the stock agency), but this isn't ideal.  Thanks for any advise you can offer.

    Captions added to the images inside a photos template are published no matter where you publish your website.
    The number of caption lines is chosen in the photo Grid popup window...

  • 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.

  • Aperture Captions to iWeb

    I want to use iWeb to create a photo page. When I import photos from an Aperture Album (via Media Browser), the iWeb captions are the file name (version name) and not the captions created in Aperture.
    Is there a way to get the Aperture Caption to show as the Caption in iWeb?
    I've seen some discussion of this, but it's unclear if anyone has solved this. Seems like a no brainer; well it should happen by default--a caption is a caption. This isn't 1984. But I'm probably missing something simple.
    Message was edited by: MtnBiker

    Getting the captions from iPhoto is the same problem. But there has been an Applescript created for iPhoto that copies the Comments to the Title field for importing to iWeb and then the title can be changed back to the file name using iPhoto.
    You might be able to edit the script to have it work with Aperture. You can get it from this Mac OS X Hints post: Descriptions to Title in iPhoto

  • Photo Caption Length Limit?

    I like to use sometimes lengthy [probably 2-3 sentences max] captions with photos, and can't find a way to do it with iWeb.
    There seems to be a built-in limitation, regardless of text size/placement. I would rather avoid the blog idea where you have to show one picture, then write your text, then show another etc., as I want to post galleries of pictures.
    Any suggestions? I haven't found a service yet with .mac or anyone else that seems to allow editing of galleries for placement, and yet also long enough [more than one sentence on average] captions.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the specifics--and I tried that...but short of making the font so small it's unreadable, I don't think that works. As for captions being...well...captions, let me give you an idea what most photo captions are like length-wise:
    "German midfielder David Odonkor, left, and forward Lukas Podolski pose as they celebrate with fans at the 'Fan Mile' in Berlin on Sunday July 9, 2006. Thousands of German soccer fans celebrate their team after Germany beat Portugal 3-1 at the third place match of the soccer World Cup on Saturday."
    Breaking up the photos so that more text can be entered inbetween doesn't then tie the specific caption to each photo. It just seems pretty obvious to me--and simple, in terms of programming--to allow the user to set how big [in character numbers] we want the associated text to be, instead of just the apparent rudimentary space they allow now.
    After searching for a program that would allow this--from iDisk/.mac to Flikr etc., I thought iWeb would be the answer--but apparently not.
    When Apple touts itself as being so photo-supportive, with all of it's software--I don't know why none of the applications supports more than minimal text per photo. They've advanced to photo-casting, etc., but if I want to attach what I deem to be regular-sized captions, I have to resort to the very old-fashioned, time-consuming embedded email methods to send them out to others.

  • Photo Caption text can't be hyperlinked

    I posted earlier about this problem and yesterday I spoke, at length, to Apple Tech. Here is their answer:
    When you are building your website with iWeb, and you chose the photo page to hold photos the photo captions (the text under the photos) can not be turned into a hyperlink that works when you are viewing the photo as a full screen single image. Although you can build the hyperlink while using iWeb, and that hyperlink will work in the testing phase, once published, that link will no longer work.
    That hyperlink you made in the photo caption text will only work as a hyperlink if you are viewing your photo page in the "album view" with a page of thumbnail images. If the text you made into a hyperlink is visible while viewing that page in a photo album view, that text WILL hyperlink. But if you click on that thumbnail to enlarge, the hyperlinked text will no longer work as a hyperlink.
    Fixing this bug entails digging into the html code of that photo page.
    I sent Apple Feedback a post asking them to fix this bug.

    Have you tried Cmd+X and then Cmd+F on the text object?

  • Photo Caption into Hyperlink

    Hi Everyone,
    Earlier today, while working in an iWeb photo template page, I attempted to make one sentence of the photo caption into a hyperlink. The inspector would not respond to the highlighted text. Is it possible to link a caption or am I just missing some simple step?
    Thanks
    iMac 24, 2.33 Intel core duo with 2 GB SD-Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    iweb doesn't allow photo (in photo grid) and photo
    captions to be hyperlinked.
    The work around is overlaying graphic shape or text
    box over the caption, set opacity to 1%, then add
    hyperlink to it.
    Thanks for providing me with an easy work around.

  • How to get MobileMe photo galleries into iWeb or from Aperture?

    I currenlty use MobileMe for an iWeb  published site, on which I have a link to a several dozen photo galleries, all pub;ished from Aperture.  iPhoto has an iWeb "button", but Aperture does not so far as I can see.  I am trying to find the easiest way to keep all of my stuff intact once MM dies next year.  How can I migrate, not link, my MM photo galleries into iWeb, and/or publish them from Aperture into iWeb?  Once I have the photo galleries as part of iWeb, then I'll be able to use it to publish to another web hosting service.  Thanks!

    Do you have the original image files used to make up those MMe Galleries?  If so you can group them into albums in iPhoto and use the iWeb Album page or Photos page and ignore the MMe galleries.
    If the files are in Aperture and there's no Aperture section in iWeb's Media Browser you will have to export those files out of Aperture as originals and drag them either into iPhoto or into an iWeb photos page.  I don't use Aperture so an unsure of what can be done between Aperture and iWeb.
    If those galleries are the only copy of the photos you have you'll need to download the file (if the gallery allows it) and import into iPhoto before going into iWeb.

  • Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7 - Photo Caption problem in Book Module

    Using Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7, I have produced a 76 page book in the Book Module with multiple photos on most pages, but two photos were not showing their captions, and did not print same in a proof PDF print run. I had the photo captions in the Meta Data, but have subsequently entered the pertinent photo caption via Custom Text from the left control panel, and also directly into the photo caption print box without success. I have changed the photo size, without a successful outcome, but when I did an auto cell fill of the photo the caption appeared within the photo, but disappeared when sizing was reduced back. I have exhausted all help avenues at this stage.

    Thanks for your input and efforts to assist. I have resisted removing and replacing, as the 1966 passport photo has a lengthy (approx 60) adjustments showing in the history, as a result of its age. Hence I think that I will just have tolerate these somewhat minor, I suppose, aberrations and just send it off to Blurb as is, as restoring so many old photos to a more presentable print status has taken me 3 months as it is.
    I don't understand why this a problem. You are removing a page from the book and adding back again. You are not removing the photo from the catalog, therefore you would not loose you are adjustments. Books are just another way of rendering photos.

  • Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

    Hello,
    I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
    the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
    forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
    you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

    I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
    The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
    I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

  • Photos in iPhoto / iWeb

    If I've used a photo in iWeb from iPhoto and then delete the photo from iPhoto, does the photo remain in iWeb or does it become a blank space?

    iWeb will "remember" it. The info is stored in the domain.sites2 file.

  • Photo cutlines / photo captions

    Greetings.
    I discovered an easy css technique for laying out pages with
