Slideshows in iweb

Hello. I made a slideshow in iphoto. How do you put it into an iweb website and be able to use the features for slideshows in the inspector of iweb? Thanks.

As pointed out above, the features for slideshows in iWeb's inspector are for slideshows generated from iWeb — not from iPhoto. But you can put your iPhoto slideshow in any iWeb template page by doing the following...
Select your slideshow in iPhoto's panel on the left. Click on File > Export... and save the QT movie file to the Desktop. Then drag that .mov file from the Desktop to an iWeb page (any template). Then, to control your slideshow movie's appearance and behavior when it's viewed in a browser, click on iWeb's QuickTime Inspector tab.
By the way, you can create a more efficient slideshow movie in iPhoto by selecting the photos you want included in the slideshow and choosing File > Export > QuickTime tab. As above, you would then drag the movie file to an iWeb page. With this approach you won't have so many configurable options, but the resulting slideshow movie file will be very small and thus quick to appear when your web page is viewed.

How to publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb

Is it possible to (or how do you) publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb created either in Aperture or iPhoto?

Here's an example of E Books. They're created in iWork and loaded into iWeb as a compressed PDF for download. The photo of the front cover is used for the link.

For a larger file, you can upload it to a folder on your server and create a link to it from your website.

Hi all.
I am creating my first site in iWeb and in the home page would like an image slideshow to automatically play once the page is displayed.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how i can make my autoviewer slideshow have a transparent background so the page behind shows through around the photos?
Right now the frame colour and background colour in the webexport options are: background 181818 and framecolour 181818. Any advice would be appreciated!

I took you advice, as given in this thread and now my slideshow works. iWeb has a problem with Verizon servers, with regard to SlideShow.

How did you edit .js?
Give this a try, edit this file:
http://mysite.verizon.net/macericpet/Home/SlideShow_assets/openSlideShowWindow.j s
Open it with text editor, you will find two functions:
function openSlideShow(initialIndex)
function openSlideShow2(initialIndex, language)
You can swap them, rename openSlideShow to openSlideShow2
and rename openSlideShow2 to openSlideShow

Using Aperture 3 slideshows on iWeb 09

Hi - I am trying to use aperture 3 slideshows on iweb instead of flash but the quality is lacking - the sharm movie files are over 30mb so when compressed to around 10mb loses image quality
see here : http://web.me.com/ruperteden/casasnaareia (click on image)
the movies are slow to load on Firefox and do not load at all using Google Chrome ?
Does anybody have a solution to increase image quality keeping files small enough ?
Steve Jobs if you are reading this please can you come up with a solution quickly or I will have to revert back to Adobe Flash which like you I hate using !
Thanks in advance !

OK but the problem I am having is maintaining crisp image quality while compressing QT files of over 30mb generated by Aperture slideshow export ?
also the movies only really play on Safari - other browsers are clumsy and slow ?
Can anyone suggest an alternative ?
here is the site so far : http://web.me.com/ruperteden/casasnaareia

On the page it says :
Put a texbox with a unique word on the page.
Then add a HTML Snippet.
The HTML Snippet has this code :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
This is the page iWeb creates from the HTML Snippet.
http://www.wyodor.net/Demo/html5//HTML5_Zencoder_files/widget1markup.html
Here's the zencoder.js file :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/zencoder.js
It adds extra HTML code :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/video-js.css
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/video.js
and then displays this file :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/zencoder/index.html
The page has all the code to display .m4v, .ogg, .webm and flash.
In the end the textbox is behind the movie. I only needed it to find the location on the page (the top left corner) to display the video.

Slideshow in iWeb won't work on my server - not .Mac,

My Photos page, created with a template, is giving me a 404 msg. (SlideShow.html not found on this server) whenever I go to click on the SlideShow icon. My site is http://www.theweetman.net.
However, when I run the site from my desktop files, the slideshow works.
Does the site have to be uploaded to a .Mac server to work on-line?
BTW - I used Fetch 5.2 to upload my files, and the SlideShow.html file is where it is supposed to be. Please Help!

Publish iDVD Slideshow on iWeb

I have created a slideshow with music in iDVD and burned several DVDs. I would like to publish the content to iWEB in my .Mac account but have not been able to figure out how to do it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

There is no easy way to use the DVD slideshow created by iDVD.
Why not just create the slideshow in iWeb. Try the iWeb forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=188 if you need help.

Adding a Flash-Type Slideshow in iWeb

I want to add a slideshow to my home page, but not the kind of slideshow that has a bar of thumbnails and an enlarged version of the selected image. I'd like a frame that automatically plays a slideshow of images that play for a few seconds with a simple transition. Is this something I can create in iMovie and then import or even in iPhoto? I know you can't use Flash itself, which is fine since I don't know the program, although I'd learn it for this purpose if it was possible to use it.
All thoughts are appreciated. If interested, the site is www.jrcphoto.net
Thanks

Jim ~ You can create a QuickTime movie slideshow in iPhoto. Here's an example of a fast loading, looping embedded slideshow (not mine):
http://www.heese-cadieux.com
...and done like this:
iPhoto > select photos > File > Export... > QuickTime tab ...set width and height, etc.
Then iWeb > Media button > Movies tab ...drag in your movie created above by iPhoto.
Then iWeb > Inspector > QuickTime tab ...settings.
Note: The above generates a QT slideshow of small file size and thus appears quickly in a web browser.

How can I change the Slideshow in iWeb 08???

I've searched and searched and don't see to find an answer - I used to swap out slide show assets in iWeb 06 for a much better way of navigating through my photos. That's no longer an option in 08 - anyone have any alternative slideshows for 08?
In 06, the alternative would pop up on top of the screen and the user could then click on the left or right of the pix to move -
I hate the new slideshow - too long to load and the images are too small.

Here's what I'm talking about...
http://www.jeffulrich.com/photography/bluebonnets.html
if you hit slideshow or any of the pictures, there's a secondary window that pops up for a much cleaner experience. I'd like to get that back in iWeb 08 - now I'm understanding that it uses Java and it's completely different.
Just wish there were some other alternatives - I really don't like to Out of Box slideshow.

Flash xml slideshow in iWeb not working

Hallo
I am really struggling to get a Flash xml slideshow to work. I have used Flash Slideshow Maker app, which creates a slide.xml, .swf and .html file and everything is published in one folder "slideshow" on a local disk.
I am using the following code and it works perfectly when viewed in iWeb:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"
WIDTH="920" HEIGHT="400" id="Phambili">

NAME="Phambili" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" base=".">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
But as soon as I publish it to FTP with following code, it displays the slideshow but NOT the photos or thumbs:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"

I have also tried iFrame code, but this is not working at all.
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong when publishing the above code to FTP?
Any help will be appreciated.

Posting slideshow on iweb from iphoto

okay, i'm new to mac and website design. i would like to know how i can add a slideshow that i made in iphoto and place it on iweb?
i'm using the 60 day trial. is this feature not available to me? in iphoto >share > send to iweb> the options aren't highlighted.
i'm very lost and any help would be more than appreciated.
Marisa

Marisa,
Welcome to the Discussions!
I am not using the 60-day trial and I don't have that option available either. My best guess would be that slideshows as such cannot be sent directly to iWeb. What can be sent to iWeb, is a photo album containing the images that you built the slideshow with in iPhoto, and they will then become a photo page in iWeb. Once you have a photo page in iWeb, and publish it, whoever visits that page can view the photos as a slideshow in his or her browser. You won't have music that way, though.
Alternatively, you could export your slideshow from iPhoto as a QuickTime movie, and put that on your website on a movie template. Be advised though that iPhoto tends to create large files this way, and they may be too large for publication on a web page. I just did a quick test and 17 photos exported at medium size generated an 18MB movie... I believe iWeb advises us to keep movies under 10MB. Maybe someone here knows of a trick to compress that more.
Hope this helps.

How to publish iphoto slideshows to iweb?I

I want to publish slidshows that I made in iphoto on my website. Each time I try to load the pages, they appear to load, then I get a message saying that "work will continue for several minutes behind the scenes . . . leave this application open." After a long while, I receive a message saying my pages didn't load . . . "check your internet connection."
How do I get the slideshows onto my webpage with a reduced file size. I suspect that the slideshow files are too big. I see the slideshow folders in my movie/media list as .mov files, but I can't open the slideshow folders in imovie to reduce the file size in quicktime. When I try to click an drag them off the desktop or try to export them from iphoto to imovie to work with the file size, the folders just bounce right back.
What am I doing wrong??
Also, I have a .com hosted with another host for my photography business. How do I link the slideshows to that website. I want to use the slideshows as a way to do a quick "proof session" with my clients.
Thanks for the advice!

iPhoto gives you three size options to export your slideshow as a QuickTime file.
The smallest is not very good but gives the quickest download time. Just because iWeb tells you a movie is too big doesn't mean you have to listen!
Its a trade off between quality and download time.
.Mac galleries, iWeb galleries and Photo pages all go to thumbnails and the viewer has to start the slideshow.
You are going about things the right way to get a slideshow only. Once you have loaded it onto the iWeb page you can go to the "QuickTime" inspector and select "autoplay" etc. and also drag the placeholder to whatever size you want.
