Posting pics on iWeb Photo pages

hi, i did some research on the issue i am having but couldn't find any resolutions. i'm hoping someone can help me with their experience / expertise. this is the weirdest thing and perhaps i'm overlooking something obvious?
i have taken digital pics in both portrait and landscape formats. eg. took pics of tall buildings using portrait versus a wide view of a scenery by using landscape.
as i dragged these portrait pics of the building onto the photo pages (specifically with the 'travel' template), it automatically converts it to landscape. so now the buildings are on its sides when it should have been upright. i made sure that the original pic is portrait and the buildings are upright under Apple Preview. i've looked and there are no options for me to modify the pics by ways of rotate.
anyone experienced this and know why it's happening? suggestions?
thank you very much for hearing me out...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Cameras with the auto-rotate feature adds a tag to the file telling applications that can read the tag how to rotate and display it. iPhoto will read that tag and create a physically rotated modified version for you to use. If the a-r file goes directly into iWeb it gets displayed as landscape because iWeb can't read that tag. Some applications can read the tag and others cannot.
I've turned of auto-rotate in my camera and upload to a folder on the desktop where I use a 3rd party application to physically rotate them before importing into iPhoto. Saves space as no modified file is created and avoids the occasional file getting displayed incorrectly.

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.

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.

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.

Iweb photo page resizes photos

It seems no matter what I do I cannot get an iweb photo page to NOT resize my photos. On a photo page I have gone to the inspector and selected none and original for the photo download size and iweb still resizes the photos when I publish to a folder. I am pulling the photos in from iphoto. In iphoto the photos are full size (3MB +). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

ImageWell allows you to resize photos either by dimensions or by total size in kilobytes, and then you can upload them. It has a batch option too. Seems as though iPhoto should allow this but I haven't found it.

IWeb Photo Page download

Are people able to download any photos from iWeb photo pages? During the slideshow feature it says 'download', does that mean visitors to my site can download my content?

To illustrate the difference I duplicated a page that allows downloading and changed the copy to not allow downloading. You could still take a screen shot of any image on the web but the quality isn't high.
Here are the two pages:
Allows downloading:http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/proofs_available.html
Doesn't allow downloading: http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/proofsavailable2.html

Iweb photo page and pay pal buttons

could someone tell me how to alter or change java so pay pal buttons go away when someone clicks on picture to enlarge or goes to slide show? cyclosaurus gave to example web pages that it can be done, but no explanation on how to do it.
Thanks , wish I was smarter. Tom

Hi!
I had this issue about a month ago, so scheduled an Apple One-to-One session, which easily solved the problem. You cannot use the iWeb "Photo" page template if you want to add a Paypal button. As much a pain as it is, you must use the iWeb "Blank" page template.

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!

_*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!

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.

Iweb photo pages are totally wacked (plus the program destroyed my sites!)

I am having the same problems that everyone else seems to -- missing images, crashing issues, working very slowly, etc. I'm rebuilding ALL of my pages -- I use these sites for work! What's most disturbing is that the photo pages don't work at all for me -- I can build them, but once I close iweb or it crashes, they come back up nearly blank, no images, and the navigation is really weird and different and won't change, and the space to add photos looks really big and weird. What the heck is going on? Please, I need help!!!! I have to update my sites for business.

I had a problem with photos missing from Photo pages. I just talked to Apple support and we were able to fix the problem for my domain!
The Apple support person said that some domain files are not being properly updated to 2.0. In those cases, peoples are experiencing missing pictures and text as navigation on photo pages.
One indicator if your domain was properly updated to 2.0 is to look at the filename in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/. In my case the file was Domain.sites and not Domain.sites2 so the initial conversion did not complete properly.
The solution was to replace incorrectly updated Domain.sites file above with the original backup that I made before installing iWeb 2.0. (NOTE - The readme clearly states to backup this file before installing and luckily I did.)
After copying the file to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, make sure that iWeb is closed (not running). I then double clicked the Domain.sites folder and patiently wait for the Progress bar to complete. (Thank you to another poster on another thread for this suggestion.) You will not receive any success message other than the file will be renamed Domain.Sites2.
After multiple saves and publishes, it appears that everyone now works correctly. The Apple support person was very interested in user feedback and wants more people to report issues via phone. He took my original domain file (via his iDisc account) so he could submit it to engineering for them to study. It sounds like they could still use a few more examples of Domains that fail the initial upgrade to 2.0.
Hope this helps.

*visible* comments on iweb photo pages?

hi all
i've read a few posts which complain about the lack of comment functions in iweb, specifically on photo pages.
i use icomment and have experimented with the haloscan option of embedding a haloscan commenting link on an iweb page, but it's a rather unimpressive feature, but an impressive workaround nonetheless.
is there any way to make [haloscan] comments visible?
any advice or tips are warmly accepted.
cheers, lee.

You might want to consider having the comment in an iFrame on your page. You can iFrame the haloscan page into your iWeb page. Use the Haloscan URL to iFrame. For example http://haloscan.com/comments/iwebfaqs/AutoPlay/ can be iFramed into an iWeb site to display the comments on the page instead of having to click a link to see the comments open in a pop-up window. There is more information on how to insert an iFrame into an iWeb site at http://iWebFAQ.com/iFrame
The website http://iWebFAQ.com has pages that require visitors to log in.
www.iWebFAQ.com/iFrame is one of the areas on the website that require users to log in.
A $5 secure PayPal donation is suggested to access restricted areas.
In compliance to Apple's Terms Of Service iWebFAQ is disclaiming that

Iweb photo page subscribe button

How do I get the subscibe link to stop working on the photo page of iweb? I only want to allow people to see what is posted, not my entire photo collection on my computer.

In the inspector, choose the Photo tab (That's 2nd from the left, sunset and tree).
You have a lot of options there, and under 'Photo's just unclick the 'allow visitors to subscribe' box.
You should also set 'download size' to 'none'
Hope this helps.

Iweb photos page missing

iweb 2 keeps deleting the contents of my photo pages. All the other pages stay the same, but when I save and quit the program and re-open it, the entire contents of the photos pages are missing.
Does any one know how to retrieve them, or make it not happen again?
Thanks!

"flicker" in iweb photo page

I have just installed iLife '08 ad am curretly updating my website with photos using web gallery. The biggest problem I have found is that the photos constantly flicker on my iweb application, but they publish just fine. I also woul like to know if I can get rid of the album that comes up as a place holder on the photos page because it doesn't publish anyway.
Thanks

How to get iPhoto '08 to export comments as part of iWeb photo page?

I've got an event in iPhoto '08, and want to export it as a photo page (darkroom template). It exports all the photos and titles, but not the comments from iPhoto. I cannot figure out how to make it export the comment. Where is the setting for this?
It's very easy in iPhoto to export as a regular html with the comments, but somehow not to iWeb.

Marguerite:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's an Applescript that will take your comments and put them in the title field in iPhoto. Then when you create the photo page in iWeb the comments will be in the title field and will be displayed. Once the iWeb page is created you can go back in iWeb and use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name menu option and get the old title back.
Here's where you get the Applescript. Be sure to read the comments to see where the one error, regarding the Å character that is in the script: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070822121100394&query=applescript %2Btitle
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

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 page help

I just got iweb and started playing around with it and already got stumped.
I created a welcome page and then added a photo page. My problem is that I only have 3 place holders for photos that work in the slideshow. These are also the only photos that are able to be clicked on and shown in their full size.
I can drag more photos on the page but the do not work on the slideshow. How can I get more placeholders for photos that will work in the slideshow? Also can photos that are in the placeholders become hyperlinks to other pages?
Thanks
Kenal0

Make sure that when you add photos to the page, that they are going in the actual album placeholder. The images should dynamically move around if you are adding them in the correct spot.
