Photo Gallery page on iWeb - Sharing some experience....

I am an Aperture user and my starting point was to create nice web photo galleries from Aperture...
- I got quickly frustrated with the lack of customization of the standard Aperture Web pages (font, color, size...).
- Aperture 2.1 MobileMe galleries are a bit better but not what i wanted either.
- Then i found out that i could easily export photos from Aperture to iPhoto, and then from iPhoto to iWeb, and that iWeb would offer me more customization options.
- Following that route, i imported my Aperture photos into iPhoto, then used the Share/Send to iWeb/Photo Page function.
- Having some experience using iWeb, i was able to customize the template somehow, but got frustrated by the apparently fixed web page size, which at first seemed to stick to a 700x480 format for the photo gallery... and i would like to show the pics at around 1200x1200....
- Until i played with the Album style pop up window and found that depending on the style chosen, the photo gallery size could expand up to 1200 pix width ! (that with the Album style which is on 1st column/3rd row). But then double clicking on thumbnails would randomly expand the given picture to between 700 and 1200 pix width...
This is where i got to. Now a few questions, if you're still with me :
- Am i correct to assume that there is no direct interface available between Aperture and iWeb, and that i need to use this iPhoto intermediate step?
- Has anyone found a way to fully customize the size of photo galleries in iWeb (both for the thumbnail display area and for the magnified picture area)?
- If not, can someone point me to a comprehensive resource detailing the iWeb template creation steps ?
Thanks in advance, and to add a wish : could Mr Apple think of standardizing/optimizing/improving the web gallery generation process across its platform for the next versions ?

I've read in this forum that Aperture has a setting to make it's photos available to other iApps, see this post, via the Media browser but not galleries created by it in the Web Snippet menu, see the last post in this topic.

  • Photo gallery page from iWeb '08 doesn't work for Mac OS X 10.3.9 user?

    I have recently published a photo gallery page with comments on using iWeb '08 (latest update). Displays fine for me and apparently a lot of other mixed-platform users. But one user is saying that his eMac with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and the Safari of the day don't display the pictures. He gets the banner and background image for the gallery, but not the actual pictures. I asked him to try Firefox, but so far no reply on that.
    Do the older versions of Safari work with content from iWeb '08?

    It was no different when AOL went from version 3 to version 4.
    The very complex javascript files written by iWeb 2 still allow older browsers view (limited features) view the basic parts of your pages.
    Unfortunately this is not true. On an iMac G4 10.3.9 using Safari you cannot even view the photos, the photo page or even the web gallery itself. You just get a warning. Had I known that my friends and family would have a problem viewing photos I would have passed on the update. I don't expect my Father to upgrade his system to view photos from the "user friendly" Apple programs. That's why we got him an iMac to begin with. I find iLife 08 a very poor release from Apple and more trouble than it is worth.
    It was no different when AOL went from version 3 to version 4.
    I didn't know AOL even still existed, that alone upgraded!? (haha)
    +The images should load but many of the Web 2.0 features will not work (image rollover viewing, changing dimensions or background colors).+
    But Kirk, they don't, none of them! and this kind of stuff just seems crazy to some of us. I wish that Apple would TELL US or advertise the facts like, Oh, you only get ONE gallery for each user on Web Gallery (useless) and Oh, you will not be able to edit 06 iWeb pages with 08 iWeb and the iLife 08 version of iPhoto you will not be able to view these galleries without upgrading to the latest Safari web browser. Yes we always expect some bugs with a major update but this is getting ridiculous.
    I have not yet had anybody try downloading the newest version of Firefox that will work with 10.3.9. Do you know if that will make a difference? Thanks for your help.

  • Photo gallery Pages cant go "Under" another page or have i missed something

    Seems any Photo Gallery page you make always stays at the top level. You don't seem to be able to make say a blank Page and create 3 gallery pages UNDER that page.
    What I'd like to do is create a top page called Photo Galleries and in there put 3 photo gallery pages
    One called Picture Art, One Garden Art and one Commisioned. UNDER each of these pages I'd like to have 3 Galleries.
    The reason I want to do this is to make it easier for people to find exact catagories when they visit my site.

    Yes, you can.
    Add a My Photoalbum page. In it you can add photopages.
    You can drag existing photopages into the My albums page.
    It's all there. Visible and ready to use.

  • Movie file on photo gallery page

    I added a small movie file to the bottom on a photo gallery page. That works out fine, but then the same movie displays at the bottom of each page when individual images are displayed, which I don't want.
    I know that it's all one page under the hood... but is there any way to add a movie so it just shows under the gallery thumbnails?

    I would happily have a thumbnail pointing to the movie file but if I drag the movie into the gallery section it just lands on top of all the thumbnails.
    Drag the movie from the mediabrowser or desktop into the photogrid.
    That's the eternal frustration of iWeb... you can produce great looking pages but as soon as you want to step outside its narrow box you run into a brick wall.
    Au contraire.
    Accept the limitations of iWeb and look beyond them.
    Outside your box is a universe with unlimited possibilities. Unfortunately it requires knowledge. Which requires study. Which requires effort.
    The world is larger than iLife. You are in control.

  • Photo Gallery Page

    I'm creating a photo gallery page for a site.... I have my 12
    thumbnails (70 x 70) in a table. To the right is a 260 x 260 layer
    in which to view the photo full size. I want to have the full size
    photo appear in this layer when the viewer mouses over the
    corresponding thumbnail. Is this accomplished using javascript?
    I've seen this on other sites. Can anyone suggest a tutorial or
    other help? I considered the Flash / XML method but I don't want a
    slideshow. Please help.

    It can be accomplished using CSS and javascript
    highlight the thumbnail and use behaviors to "show or hide
    layers". You will need to place the correct image in each layer
    (I know that a lot of people do not like layers but it works
    for this example. just fine I have had no problems) (but it is
    confusing)
    here is an example

  • Can 'SUBSCRIBE' be removed from photo template pages in iWeb??

    I am using photo template pages on my website (designed in iWeb 08). My site is an artist portfolio site so the photo template pages work well for dealing with all the art images I am posting.
    One problem: there is a subscribe button on my pages which lets people subscribe to my iPhoto library. I cannot figure out how to remove it.
    Any ideas on this?
    Thanks!
    Christine

    Christine
    Click on the Inspector at the bottom of your photo page, then click on the Photos Inspector (just to the left of RSS).
    Next click on the Photos button, then uncheck "Allow visitors to subscribe".
    The Subscribe button will disappear from your page.

  • Fixing PS Web Photo Gallery pages?

    have just started playing with Web Photo Gallery.
    I built one with the Slideshow. I couldn't figure out where
    the descriptions were supposed to come from, I thought I could
    enter them in Bridge somewhere, but didn't figure that out.
    So, I opened them up in Dreamweaver and added descriptions to
    each of the files. Problem is that as the slideshow goes on, only
    the first description shows up, the rest, the file number changes,
    but not the description.
    What did I do wrong? What should I do next time?
    Thanks,

  • Importing photos to Pages ( or Iweb for that Matter )

    Just installed Ilife 08 and Iphoto seems to be working fine in and of itself but I am having trouble accessing my Iphoto Library from Pages ( and Iweb ). If I have an open Pages document and I try to import a picture to use in that document, the Iphoto Library is greyed out: I cannot access the contents to make use of my photos. Any ideas??

    you should read TD's discussion in this thread - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1243085&tstart=90 - to see the other options and ot understand teh potential issues of directly accessing the iPhoto library

  • Photo Gallery Speed in iWeb Site

    Hi, I'm looking for some advice on quicker photo galleries.
    I've made my organization's website using iWeb... It seems to work fine, except a lot of the site is really slow to load, especially large photo galleries. I realize a lot of this has to do with the code, but is there another solution (have the photo's hosted by some other, faster service)?
    See for yourself: http://turtleconservancy.org/travel/brazil/
    Thanks for your help!
    Max

    Hi guys, thanks for taking a look. The site is made with iWeb. The gallery was made by drag n drop + linking to image files, then adding the shadow box code in Dreamweaver.
    When I said the site is slow to load, I am just looking to speed it up. It loads fine on every test machine i've used. I'm just looking to make it even faster! (Google Analytics is telling me it's slow...)
    -If I hosted the linked images on another server (amazon cloud) would this speed things up?
    -Is there another way to present a gallery of images with captions + shadow box (or similar, elegant) effect that would cut down the load time?
    Also, a bit off topic, anyone know of a good resource to read up on taking advantage of browser cache capabilities and how to make a section of the site (ie. navbar) an "include"?
    As you can clearly see, I am no pro... Haha! Any other streamlining/optimization tips are greatly appreciated!
    Again, the site I'm working with here is: http://turtleconservancy.org/
    Thank you for all help and advice!

  • Is there a way to password protect a photo page in iWeb?

    My website is open to whoever wants to look at it but I do photography work for clients and would like to password protect their photos. Is there anyway I can password protect just my photo gallery page in iWeb? Thanks!

    If you publish to a server other than MobileMe you can password protect any directory - either by using Webshell or via the .htaccess. If you use the latter method, the data can be compiled using a generator....
    http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/
    MobileMe users need to create a new site for the protected content. This site can appear to be part of the main one if it is included in a text based navigation as an external hyperlink or by using a snippet code with the default navigation. This was answered by Cyclosaurus in this topic....

  • How do I insert a photo gallery INTO a page?

    I'm not trying to make a photo gallery page; I'm trying to create a page which contains a photo gallery at the top.  I've read about putting the gallery into an iframe, which is then put into a div, but I can't get that to work.  The gallery I've created loads up fine as a page unto itself, but I need it to function within a frame or table or box of some kind.  Is there some way to make this happen in Dreamweaver CS5?

    Hi Jeff,
    in principle, these are "rollover" things (You can unse it for your help-function in DW or Google). Or for instance browse a little bit at Nancy O's tutorials:
    http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Disjointed-Image-Rollover.shtml (e.g. Pure CSS Disjointed Image Rollovers) and adapt it with your photos.
    Hans-G.
    P.S.
    In "http://www.belowthemoon.com/apart/" I see a "swap"-technique, which you could use too. Look here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/interactivity/behavior/behavior02.html
    Quote: The Swap Image action swaps one image for another by changing the src attribute of the img tag. Use this action to create button rollovers and other image effects.

  • Photo gallery not displaying when published to .mac

    Hey,
    I'm having some trouble publishing my photo gallery. I do not want to publish it as a web gallery from iPhoto then link to it with iWeb. What I want to do is to send a gallery from iPhoto into iWeb, and have it published as part of the website. When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account. When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up! I do not know what to do, I have tried completely deleting the photo gallery page and remaking it in case I did something wrong in the design somewhere, but it still does not load up. If I link in a web gallery, it does show up, but, again, that is not what I want to do. I am at a loss for what may be causing the error. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Heather

    Publishing a iPhotoalbum to iWeb is the same as dragging the album from the media browser to iWeb.
    When I send a gallery over to iWeb, it loads up great, and I have all the functionality that one would expect when doing this so by all indications, it will load up great on my .mac account.
    When I publish the website, it does say that it is publishing the photo gallery page, but the issue is that none of my galleries ever show up!
    What is it? Does it upload great to dotMac or doesn't it?
    There's only one thing to do. Publish it. No need to upload. iWeb takes care of that.
    It helps if you provide a URL to said page.

  • How to do a video gallery page

    Hi everyone
    when you create a new page iWeb lets you choose from some preset pages like the homepage, the blog, the video and the photo gallery.
    But the video page lets you put one or more videos in just one page.
    If you have many videos and you want to divide them in different categories like the photo gallery page do for photos, how can you do it?
    If you select the photo gallery and if you put videos instead of photos from your iTunes inside of it, it seems to do the job, but I can't use this trick cause I have not enough hosting space to store the videos, and infact I uploaded them in youtube and with the youtube widget the photo gallery doesn't work and shows nothing...
    Did someone know how to create a video gallery page (or something like that) with videos from youtube?
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: PaoloPhino

    This is one way you could do it: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. The thumbnails can be as small as you'd like. This way none of the video files have to load before they play button is selected. Otherwise the page would take forever to load.
    How the button is created is described in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
    OR you could use a video jutebox like the one on this page: http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/Our_Videos.html.
    His tutorial on how to implement it is here: http://www.holyredeemernorthbend.org/HRWeb/jukebox.html.
