Questions about web gallery in iWeb - advise please

I have succesfully republished my old iWeb with iWeb 08, but would like to have some advice before I experiment further. The iWeb Help says I can add a web gallery to iWeb using either "insert>web gallery", or a Web Widget. Can anyone explain the difference to me?
My one Web Gallery has the neat new "carousel" effect and the other properties of this new function. Will any new photo albums that I publish directly from iWeb also have these properties, or are they unique to "web gallery"? The photo albums that I have republished with the new iWeb have the "download" and "subscribe" functions, but not the "carousel" and other niceties of Web Gallery. Thank you.

There are two completely separate types of gallery, one being the .Mac web gallery and the other being the ones that you make in iWeb.
Where iWeb mentions the "insert" or "Web Widget" it just means there two ways of doing the same thing. If you use the 'Insert' menu or the 'Web Widget' button you are able to choose one of your web galleries and insert an animated thumbnail which cycles through previews of your photos in that particular album. A visitor to your page is able to click on it to visit the specific album.
So there you have it, you can either build photo albums in iWeb without some of the fancy Web Gallery features or you can use the .Mac Web Gallery. The iWeb albums will be tightly integrated with iWeb and your pages but you can still integrate the .Mac Web Gallery to a certain degree by using the 'Insert' or 'Web Widget' options.
I personally plan to use both iWeb Albums and .Mac Web Gallery as they both have their merits for different projects I'm working on.

Use video from Web Gallery in iWeb

Hi,
do anyone using video from Web Gallery in iWeb? will it a better way than just drag and drop from the Media itself?

The following thread is about someone who started out with his videos in iWeb itself, but later found it better to instead link to a MobileMe Gallery — read particularly his last post here:
_Casting Director needs advice_
And in reply to one of your threads, I indicated how much faster a video displays from MobileMe Gallery than it does from iWeb:
_My Web Video loading slower than Youtube (same file size)_

Web Gallery vs. iWeb?

I'm not sure I understand the difference between the Web Gallery and iWeb. You can add galleries on both?
How do you remove a gallery from the Web Gallery after you install it? I was trying to install multiple galleries by doing the shift click then figured out iPhoto was combining all the galleries into one. I aborted and it said it was deleting it off the WG. It did not. The pics it did upload are there and I can't figure out how to delete.

AtlantaRoyce:
Web Galleries from iPhoto differ from iWeb photo galleries in that the iPhoto galleries are run from software on Apple's servers (you only upload four versions of each photo and the server side software does the rest. With an iWeb photo gallery you have design control over how that gallery will look, comments under the thumbnails and that gallery may be part of a greater site with other pages. Then the photos and other supporting files are uploaded to be combined into an HTML based web page. The iPhoto gallery is java driven I believe.
All iPhoto galleries are part of one gallery. To delete an iPhoto gallery you delete the web gallery in the iPhoto library. The photos will be deleted from the iDisk and no longer show in your gallery.
The iPhoto one is much easier and quicker to create but can only be the one style. With the iWeb variety you can change the background, add music to the site. The two slideshows are different also.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Web Gallery in iWeb Doesn't Behave Like Standalone Gallery

From iPhoto I published a web gallery of four albums. When you go to the web gallery the four albums appear. The key photo of each album is displayed. If you move your cursor you can skim.
If I add a page in iWeb and then select Insert Web Gallery and add the galleries each album starts a mini slide show. There is a small black box that flickers on each album icon. When you go to the web album page each web gallery album icon is playing the slideshow. Which is not consistant the way the standalone web gallery works.
Here is the link to the web gallery
http://gallery.mac.com/kjritchie#gallery
Her is the link to the iWeb page
http://web.mac.com/kjritchie/Site/Web_Gallery.html
When working in iWeb this motion eats up CPU. I don't remember iWeb doing this a while ago. Is this due to 10.4.11?
Thanks for any advice.
Kelvin

That seems to be the way it is. Albums added to an Album page are static except for skimming and the iPhoto galleries added via the Web Widget feature are dymanic. It appears to be determined by what application creates the entity, iPhoto for the web gallery and iWeb for the album.
This site has both types side by side and show the difference that you're referring to.

Web Gallery in iWeb

I inserted some Web Gallery in the iWeb page. When I click the link, the the displayed the Web Gallery doesn't have the feature of the stand alone Web Gallery, not option for Download, Upload, and password protection is gone too.
Is there anyway to insert a Web Gallery in iWeb without loosing the features?
Thanks

I found that if I passworded a gallery first Iweb would not see it. If I published first then went back, passworded it and re-published it it was seen and was passworded.
It's a bit odd as it asked for a user name and password. entering the same name it both areas worked. The other options appear to work, but as always do not totally prevent someone from taking the photos.

How to use iPhoto web gallery with iWeb & personal domain name

So, another question about iWeb 08:
I've set up my site to use a personal domain name, like www.mypersonaldomain.com. I've configured everything with my DNS settings so that it actually points to my iWeb site, and I'm happy about that.
However, I've imported a few iPhoto '08 web galleries into my site, but when I browse to them by going to www.mypersonaldomain.com and clicking on the link for my gallery, it goes to a URL that actually shows my .mac account, i.e. gallery.mac.com/sockdaddy/gallery1/photo.jpg
Is there any way to have the web galleries that I'm using become a more transparent part of my iWeb site, and use my personal domain?

I've never done this on .Mac but I do use this on my server. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
In iPhoto select your web gallery and in the "file" menu select "export" and then "Web Page".
Select your options and click "Export" to the desktop.
There are now 4 folders and an index.html file.
Change the name of the index file to whatever you want to call the page e.g WebGallery.html
Now go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and open your website folder.
Drag and drop the 4 folders and the html file from your desktop into this.
Create a link to this from your website in the "link" inspector and choose "external page".
The URL for the link will be the same as any other page on your site except WebGallery is substituted for the page name.
If you check the "open link in new window" you won't have to worry about the fact that you don't have a link back to your site from the WebGallery page.

Publishing Web Gallery on iWeb

Before I decide to upgrade ti iLife 08, I have a question. I have created a web page for our family using iWeb. It includes a photo page and video page. I am very happy with the way it turned out, as it is a good way to post new pictures, videos, and family news for our friends and family to see.
Now comes Web Gallery in iLife 08, which seems easier and quicker to post photos and video on the web, but it kind of defeats one of the main purposes of our iWeb site. Is there a way to link up the Web Gallery site on my current iWeb site? If not, it almost seems that the photo and video pages on my iWeb site will now be obsolete.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim:
I don't have my copy as yet but why not publish the site and use it until you upgrade to iLife 08. Then see if iWeb 2 will work with the older domain.sites file (I would expect it to) and then decide the best way to do what you want.
The new iPHoto 7 has new slick photo and movie presentation capability according to iPhoto's page. Is that what you're referring to?

Web Gallery and iWeb

There is a template in iWeb for albums, but not one for iPhoto Web Galleries. You can use the insert .mac web gallery option to get a web gallery onto a page, but is there a way to use the cool album template instead?
It seems so odd that there isn't better integration between Web Galleries and iWeb templates.

Yeah, I'm noticing this, too. Seems a bit of crap work, if you ask me.
I'm kind of unimpressed with the new iWeb. A few "widgets" isn't really all that neat, and I'm shocked they didn't include some sort of iphone theme (like a theme best viewed on an iphone.)
But this gallery thing is the most irritating.

Add Adobe Bridge Web Gallery to iweb

I had made a Adobe Bridge Web Gallery.
It woks perfectly fine when I preview the index.html file in the gallery folder.
After I drop the gallery folder in my site folder,
and making a photo link to the index.html file. The Web-Browser shows up Blank.
Hope someone may teach me step-by step after exporting the Bridge Web Gallery in combining with iweb.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where are you publishing your site to? MobileMe or a 3rd party server?
If it's MMe upload your Gallery folder to your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL to link to it?
http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Namer/Gallery_FolderName/index.html
You can embed the gallery into an iWeb page using iFrame code in an HTMl snippet. This is the code:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src="http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Namer/Gallery_FolderName/index.html"></iframe>
Set the height and width so that the gallery is totally embedded in the iWeb page. You may have to widen the iWeb page with the Inspector/Page/Layout pane.
Don't put the gallery folder inside your iWeb site folder as it may be deleted when you publish site changes. Keep it outside the site's folder.

Hiding options in the web gallery in iWeb?

How do I hide the options in the web gallery in my iWeb? I want people to see my images but dont want to show the Download or the Subscribe buttons.
Is there anyway to turn these off.
I'm using iWeb 8 and have a mobileme account

Just to be clear, I inserted the photos from my MobileMe Gallery homepage and not from iphoto.
Sorry, the above isn't particularly clear to me. By "MobileMe Gallery homepage" do you mean via http://me.com or http://gallery.me.com/membername ?
Into which iWeb template did you insert your photos? ...For example, the Photos page template or the +My Albums+ page template, etc.
How exactly did you insert the photos from your MobileMe Gallery homepage? ...Did you click on the Web Widgets button in iWeb's lower toolbar and select +MobileMe Gallery+ and an +Album name+ ?
If you don't mind providing the URL of your iWeb page and MobileMe Gallery, we can then see what you're referring to.

Question about Web galleries

Yesterday I prepared a web gallery, exported it to a folder, and uploaded it by ftp to my web site with absolutely no difficulty. I was very impressed by the ease that this was accomplished. Very happy with results. However, I'm not a web developer, and now I'm wondering how I can put multiple galleries connected from a main page. I know that I can build galleries with links in iWeb, but here's my issue. Suppose I put several web galleries, each in it's own folder, on my site, and then I want to link to each of those folders. How do I link to the index.html file in each folder? Can I do that in iWeb?
Thanks for any help. I'm really stoked by this feature.

Yes - you can create a link anywhere in iWeb that points to http://www.dougwigton.com/index.html, and visitors will be able to go to your gallery - so you can make a central page to direct them to each of your galleries.
What you will not get though is the iWeb menu in any of your galleries, so it will be a little hard for people to make thier way back to the iWeb portion of your site.

Questions about web services

Hi! Experts:
I am at the Web Servivces Navigator.
I have a basic question about it:
We are using MI7.1 which has NO Java stack. Therefore we do NOT have the Web Services Navigator.
How do we use the Web Services for MI7.1?
Thanks!

Hi!
1) SICF lists the BSP services; Web Services are requests between java application to client application.
Are you sure them are the same thing?
2) When I compare the services between web service navigator and SICF, I do not see there is any
relationship. For example, if I search "AdapterMessageMonitoring" in SICF, I cannot find it.
I think SICF and web service navigator are listing totally different services.
Therefore my question is that since MI7.1 has NO Java stack (hence NO web service navigator ), how
are web services handled in MI7.1?
Thanks!

Question about rendering, it's too slow :( please help.

i've been trying to find videos explaining how to make rendering faster. Example i make a video that's 10 seconds short just to see how the result is in windows media player, it takes like 10 minutes for it to render.
I've heard about the ''secret'' menu and i tried it too. However, it's the same result again. Does anybody know how to make previewing and rendering faster.
Even when i try and preview my work, it takes ages for it to load then be able to preview it normally.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

And for the ''my car doesn't turn up'' statement, how can i know what to specify if this is my first time i ask a question about AE and don't know what to include in my question.
Hey iverecords, here is a tip to help us help you by providing the most infos as you can in your question. Because there is never one definitive answer to a question, and because there are millions of hardware/software combinaison, we can't guess what you have, and how you're trying to achieve it.
So let's take an exemple with your rendering problem.
Let see what can affect your rendering speed:
1) your hardware (inculding OS and network if working on network drive)
Sure, the new fancy processors are faster than yesturday ones. Obviously, running on Windows95 or Windows 7 (same applies for Mac OSX Tiger to OSX Snow Leopard) can make a difference. Same as writing files over a network, or on a usb external drive.
2) what you are rendering (your composition)
Applying dozens of effects on a few layers don't render at the same speed than a hundred of layers without effects.
3) your AE version and settings.
Every AE release brings new enhancement / speed, so depending on your version there might be that little hepfull setting.
So as a starter, for us to help you, we need to know these 3 key elements.
We all have started one day asking questions to get help online, so we all already made that mistake of not giving enough info. So now you know you should always give us that much of info, and then we'll be able to narrow down the problems and help you find the way to the answer.
Cheers,

Questions about Lulu ISBN, Tax forms, distribution, Please help

Hello,
I've wrote some poetry books and I recently added a new one.
I hope I can ask the right questions and get the most up-to-date and correct answers.
Well, I got the Free ISBN numbers from Lulu for all my books. I went for the global distribution.
I went to update one of them tonight, before I buy proof copies of them all, and go through to 'accept' the distribution.
I was going to purchase them some time this week.
But when I went to update one of them, it said my title and author's name was 'locked'.
I am worried about the whole tax forms thing, because honestly I don't know how that works, and I just wanted to write books, buy copies for my friends and family, and hopefully, if it is possible, get my books into some bookstores online or something. I don't know, just as long as people read them, I don't care so much about making money because poetry for me is great therapy and an emotional outlet.
So I guess I'm wondering:
Do I have to fill out tax forms in order to continue with the Free Lulu ISBN number and global distribution?
I don't have a lot of money to spend on distribution and I just really CANNOT do the thing with the taxes. And I don't really understand it.
I'm ashamed to have to ask these questions. I did read the terms of service and all, but I didn't know if it would really affect me or apply to me in a way where I HAD to pay anything for my books to be distributed.
I know I should have asked this before hand, that's why I'm embarassed now. Please bear with me, I'm really new to understanding this kind of stuff.
I live in the USA by the way.
Also, if I DO have to fill out tax forms in order to get the free isbn from lulu and global distribution, is there any other way I can still have my books available for people to buy without me having to fill out tax forms and all?
And would 'any other way' mean me having to start my books over again here on lulu (like, retire them and start new projects)?
Any information will help me greatly. I apologize for my ignorance of the subjects.
Thank you in advance, I greatly appreciate it.

Hi!
Thanks for replying.
My books don't sell much at all, and I don't mind. I just thought that having an ISBN would make it more available to people, along with having the global distribution. I'd like to try to give a copy to my library and another bookstore here in town, the lady that owns it has taken my brother's books before that he wrote, as well. I wasn't sure if either of them required an ISBN or not. I'll try to go talk to them sometime so I will know. My brother used Lulu for one of his books, but used ... I think it was called 'damnation publishing' or something (it was a horror novel, please excuse the name).
I understand and thank you for explaining what you did. But I have a tiny issue I might need to talk to someone in private about. I didn't really want to say it publicly.
I'm really just writing books for fun, it's a great way to get out frustrations creatively. And I've been writing poetry for years now. I just like to have a copy of my book to say to myself "I did this, I can do something with my life".
Well I'll tell just a little of my issue here... I live with my mom, I'm in my 30's and she advised me not to do the global distribution after I told her about what I read concerning taxes and all. She wants me to ... I think ... drop the ISBN and global distribution due to any taxes that will ever come with it. My aunt is into taxes for a living, and maybe she can explain it more to me.
I, too, think it will be okay since I don't sell many books (I've been publishing here on lulu since 2012 after my dad died and I still haven't sold one book... I do buy them, however, and pass them out to friends and family). But my mom sorta got scared about this when I told her about taxes.
Well, I'll just say it. I'm disabled, and I don't do taxes that I know of. My mom pays them but I don't think I do. (I've got some illnesses, I'm embarassed to say).
So that's why I was not sure about how the whole taxes thing would affect me.
I'm embarassed because I know a lot of people would look down on me because of my illnesses and maybe ask 'why are you on the internet if you're sick?' ya know. I'm very ashamed of my situation, but making books on lulu gives me something to look forward to in life. It's something I'm able to sit and do. (And I know I shouldn't worry what others think about me.)
Anyway, I apologize for giving a life background story. I just wasn't sure how or if all this would affect me at all.
I highly doubt my books will sell millions. I'm just happy to be here, and getting to do something.
Well anyway, I do greatly appreciate your answer to my questions. I really do. I'll check back in a little while to see if anyone else knows anything about these subjects.
I thank you again for your knowledge. :-)
OH, also, would it be easier for me to just set the prices of my books so I don't get any revenue? I know this may sound strange, but I just love writing. I don't mind not getting paid as long as people will read my books.

Hey guys, I have a question about Web Design

I have been trying to learn webdesign for a few months now, and so far, I am still learning HTML and some CSS. At the moment, my experience is still very thin, I am struggling with things, and I only know how to create simple, static pages. For example I still don't know how to produce "clean code". Or how one determines just how "clean" the code he has produced really is.
I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions I have:
I am still not sure how I will know when I am competent enough to work in Web Design... What are the best signs that an individual is good enough?
I was also wondering what programming language I need to know to do the following:
Create a WORKING Site Search. One like the search bar in the top corner of this page that will return search results from your website... Do I need to know how to program PHP? I've heard that you do need PHP to do this? The same goes for creating e-mail forms, and other forms like this. Do I need PHP for this?
Another thing is CMS systems like Wordpress and Joomla. What is the reason for using these as opposed to just designing a website's pages in Dreamweaver, and then uploading them via FTP to your web server?
And finally, can someone explain to me why CSS is groped like this when it is coded? Why has the Div ID "OuterWrapper" been styled multiple times?
For example: #outerWrapper #feature {
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper {
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper #rightColumn {
^ Couldnt the designer simply have styled "~OuterWrapper" once and left it at that?
Please see below:
#outerWrapper #feature {
    height: 225px;
    width: 880px;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    background-image: url(images/feature.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center top;
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper {
    padding-right: 15px;
    padding-left: 15px;
    clear: both;
    padding-top: 20px;
    background-color: #FFF;
    padding-bottom: 40px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-top-style: solid;
    border-right-style: solid;
    border-left-style: solid;
    border-top-color: #F90;
    border-right-color: #F90;
    border-left-color: #F90;
    background-image: url(images/footer-fade.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: bottom;
    height: 100%;
#outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper #rightColumn {
    float: right;
    width: 220px;
    background-color: #DBE7FB;
    border: 1px solid #DCDFE4;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
Also, regarding Javascript: How exactly does one become proficient enough to learn scripting for the thousands of little widgets, and navigation bars, and other functions that Javascript can do out there?
I know a lot of these questions are strange and may be hard to answer, but I am really hoping some of you guys can provide some helpful advice/direction for me to improve with code. I studied as a Print Graphic Designer, and now it's really hurting me in this economy trying to find a job due to the fact that I lack full competency in Web Design... and the longer it takes me to get better at this, the slimmer my chances become at finding work!
I really need help on this, so I would be extremely grateful for detailed and informative answers. Perhaps some links to very good video tutorials on learning how to effectively design webpages - Common things like Javascripted navigation bars, image slideshows, how to design working site search forms and contact forms, and how to use Wordpress. I ask this because there are so many terrbile tutorial videos out there (I know from experience) and it is next to impossible for myself, a beginner, to tell the good ones from the bad.
Thankyou guys.

CMS's like WordPress, Joomla! & Drupal are popular open source (PHP & MySql) frameworks. They contain all the backend PHP code needed to create a dynamic web site that contains capability for advanced functions: site search, on-line editing, shopping carts, member log-in sites, blogs with comments, scripted contact forms, and so much more...
The allure of Open Source frameworks is that they save developers time and money. Instead of building everything from scratch (which can take months), an experienced developer can usually install WordPress on the client's server and be up & running in a few hours without customizations, or in a couple of weeks with customizations.   A firm understanding of PHP, how to set up a server-side database, backing up MySql, CSS theming, and HTML code are required skills to work with these frameworks. WordPress is probably the easiest to set-up; Drupal is for more experienced coders.
I am still not sure how I will know when I am competent enough to work in Web Design... What are the best signs that an individual is good enough?
You're ready when you can look at code and understand what it means/does. Being able to problem solve, identify mistakes and fix them on your own is a must have skill.
