Spry_P1_6_10-01 Photo Gallery questions

I am attempting to use the Photo Gallery from the newest
download of the Spry Framework and I have 2 issues.
First, I build the images and thumbs galleries using
Photoshop CS3 and the automate photo gallery option to build the
library. All of the XML and Image Data is identical to the existing
Structure / folders (named China, Egypt, and Paris). I replace the
files and modify the info in the galleries XML but the result is an
empty gallery. Is there a structure I am missing?
Second, I am building the galleriy in a DIV. The demo works
fine all by itself but when I place the code into a DIV I get an
unexpected result in the thumbnail viewer. as the images expand
they push all the other thumbs around and shuffel about.
The page I am talking about is located at:
http://www.1stbankersrealty.com/athenatest/portfolio2.php
All other items are working fine
I also want to mention I tried using the Addon for Bridge
discussed in the folowing forum:
Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge
And I am a bit confused how it works...
I am new to Spry so I hope someone can help....
Thanks,
Kevin

Please delete this posting. I've found the full original
information in the v1.6 pre-release information and will compare to
that baseline.

IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
into my site, now that MobileMe is gone??? I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
Thanks, Eric U

You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4. You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

Flash Photo Gallery Question

Hello,
I am a photographer interested in designing a photo gallery
website.My question is how are the special effects created in Flash
for when a thumbnail is clicked and the photo downloads into the
picture viewer? (such as the photo fading in , the photo is
assembled from small blocks, the photo downloads from left to
right, the photo downloads after a flash of light) Is there a name
for these effects? Thank you so much, Wendy

These are some complex components/files you can get free off
the net:
http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=139
ImageGallery 3
http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=135
Photo Album
http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=124
Image Fader
This particular sample is the closets to what you are looking
for. It is XML
driven so all the files information can be edited w/o
changing the Flash movie.
You can define 9 transitions along the image name and the
rest happens automatically.
There are many more samples online, search for stuff like
"flash photo gallery"
or "flash gallery", some free some shareware but definitely
plenty.

Iweb photo gallery question

I have created an Iweb photo gallery on my website, and I wish to add links to each individual photo so that when a person clicks for the full view of the photo a link will appear somewhere on the page. I want each link to be specific to each photo. I have tried adding captions and making them links, but they don't work, they're un-clickable. Is there any possible way to do this in Iweb?

There are a number of ways you could add ecommerce to your site. I'm not familiar with the option but if you do a search for ecommerce in this forum you'll get several topics on the subject. Roddy has some very good information at this http://www.musicformusicians.com site.

Flash Actionscript Photo Gallery question

So basically im putting together a little flash website and i
created a photo gallery and put it on a frame seperate from the
others and i want a button on the first frame to take you
automatically to the photo gallery. So i did and it worked. I also
created a little x-out button on the photo gallery so that when you
click it it takes you back to frame 1 [index]. And it also works
except the large thumbnails in my gallery follow it home and then
you just stuck with a big old unwanted picture on your homepage.
This is the code i put into the frame of the photo gallery::
Any Thoughts?

execute images.removeMovieClip(); when your x-out button is
clicked.

Spry photo gallery question:

Hi,
thanks to mr. Booth's tutorial I was able to implement a nice Spry gallery into our website. Now I want to change one simple thing: the pictures that make up the galleries are to be moved to our ftp server (as opposed to our webserver). The logical thing to to seemed to edit the base parameter in the relevant photo.xml file to something like this: base=ftp://user:[email protected]/directory/ but no dice. So the question is: how do I point the xml file to an external ftp location for the actual photos?
Thanks in advance for any help!

you can't do cross domain requests with AJAX. going to a ftp:// would count as other domain.
So that is not possible. Unless you create a server side proxy that reads the data from your ftp server and about puts the results.

Photo Gallery Scripting Question

Hello all. I got a question that I am sure seems elementary
to you, but leaves me stuck.
I want the thumb that represents the image that is being
viewed to have an alpha of 80. Thanks in advance..

I had to go into firefox and clear the cookies and that
worked. But, there has to be an easier way to do this. I don't want
to tell people on my site that every time the photo gallery is
updated, they have to clear the cookies in the foxfire browser to
see them.

Flash photo gallery .xml question (Firefox)

I made a photo gallery using SimpleViewer (
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/)
The gallery worked perfectly in both IE and Firefox, but I
made some changes and added some new photos to the gallery more
than 24 hours ago. The changes showed up right away in IE, but in
Firefox, it still shows my 'old' gallery. I can still see the
gallery fine. The file is .xml and I was wondering if there was a
code or something I could use (maybe in the html file) so that
Firefox would be more compatible and make the changes
quicker.

Photo Gallery in Dreamweaver using Fireworks

How do I add images to a photo gallery that I created in
Dreamweaver using Fireworks? I created a photo gallery and I
changed my background color and other settings, but I need to find
any easier way to add images without messing up my settings. Each
time I add a photo, I don't want to have to change 40+ web pages.
Can someone please help? If there is an easier program to use, then
I will change programs.
Thanks for your help!

Sorry in advance if the following comment is missing the
point of your question.
Ans: You need to export (>File > Export) the image that
you have manipulated in Fireworks to an images folder in your
dreamweaver website. You will be prompted for an optimum file
output (JPEG, GIF etc) during this process. Then close Fireworks
and open DW. Then place your curser at the point in the webpage
where you want to insert the image and then select Menu > Insert
> Image. Browse to the image that you have created in Fireworks
and press enter. Job done! Fireworks is a fantastic s/w application
... and there's no need to look elsewhere.

Data not dynamically updating in photo gallery

The page in question is
this
photo gallery.
The primary issue is when one thumbs through the images, the
"photoID" does not update. It remains at the first "photoID" that
is encountered, and in this case, it is 729. The "title",
"description" and so forth remain locked to the first entry as
well, yet the photograph updates "@path".
I've been working at this for almost two days and have tried
almost every possible combination. I've copied over the older
framework files from my other site (which has this working
successfully), modified it to work in this instance, and it fails
here. The XML output is correct.
function photogallery(){ //Photo gallery
?>
<div class='right'>
[Snip out collapse panel...]
<div
spry:detailregion="dsGallery">{photoID}</div>
<div id="mainImageOutline"><img id="mainImage"

Help with buttons in photo gallery

Hello all
I am trying to find a more effeicent way to place buttons on each of my pages (Photo Gallery SIte). I have 150 pages and constantly have to link each button to the "next" or "last" button. Is there a more efficent way to for me to ad butons to each page.My site is Blazinginterest.com
Please give me some feedback on my site, possibly add a picture viewer?
Thank you, HD

what code do you already have? Maybe we can help you modify
it where it's not working.
Also, how do you have it currently laid out? eg. do you have
several images on the screen, but some method to scroll through
other images? Have you done a search here or on director-online.com
(in the forum or articles section) on similar questions? Do you
have something written up to describe what features you need such
as a design document?
Just trying to get a sense of your level of programming in
general, experience with Director and what planning/details you
have worked out so far because there are so many different ways to
program a gallery.

Problem loading images in adobe bridge html photo gallery

Can someone please, please help me!? I can not figure out why the images will not load in my adobe bridge html photo gallery cs5. I am not getting any error messages in Firefox and just the x in internet explorer.
Here is the link to the gallery page on the site: http://www.irishwetlands.ie/Gallery.html
I created the gallery as a html file for compatibality reasons due to accesbility issues with flash, and followed the general insturctions. The gallery folder is called wetlandsgallery and it is loading everything style-wise except the images themselves.
I then made the gallery within an iframe so it would be more similar to the other pages on the site and contain the menu bar - but no change on the lack of images!
Having looked around online I think it might be something to do with the bin folder?? Does this have some secutity somewhere thats protecting the images? I am also unsure if I filled in the FTP info correctly when creating the site as I was getting the message "could not connect to FTP server" so I had to copy over the file from my hard drive to the server provider files. All the tutortials say to load your gallery and no mention of what to do when it won't connect to FTP server.
If you could also tell me how to edit the image sizes that would be a great help too, as any size changes I make to either the bin/large or bin/thumnail images makes no difference in what appears in the preview?
Help would be very greatfully appreciated as I am pulling my hair out trying to figure it out with no sucess and a possible bald patch!
Thanks in advance,
Áine

Hello Áine,
1. Is it really necessary to comment out this part in your source code?

Using your source code without these things I could see some of your images.
2. Looking to your website with my IE8 into image 7 (e.g.) I saw this:
what means there is a reference to a html file, not to an image. ???
3. Here it becomes interesting (completely contrary to my point 2.), looking for your path:
http://www.irishwetlands.ie/images/GalleryImages/Gallery1_Selection%20of%20IRWC%20members% 20at%20the%20Gearagh.jpg
I can see this image in my IE8 (some people in front of a "wetland". But still I've to assume (as Murray already did too), that there is something wrong with your upload and the pathes.
4. Allow me to make one brief point, we talked about here on several occasions: please don't use spaces in image, folders or filenames. I'll quote Murray: In general, URL encoding spaces does not lead to problems. ... Whatever the details are, though, using spaces in filenames or paths is a bad practice which WILL lead to problems.
5. What concerns the image sizes, maybe later (I didn't understand your question correctly I fear). There is still my language barrier, I'm sorry.

Photo album questions

Hi, I have put several hours into trying to solve these
problems myself, but I am stuck. The page in question is:
http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinv.html
1. Detailregion area does not display when page opens. It's
just a skinny gray box on the right. Once you click a thumbnail,
however, it displays fine, and will display all the images as you
click on them. Thinking maybe the non-working slide show buttons
were the problem, I tried replacing the <div id="controls">
area with the identical one from another page I have that works
just fine:
Why does THIS work:
http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/aanda/fashion/kuhninv/kuhninv.html
BUT NOT THIS:
http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinvquicktest.html
I've made several pages like hydeliinvquicktest.html that all
function properly, so I'm baffled.
2. How do I get a simple slide show going?
The Spry Photo Album Demo shows how powerful Spry can be, but
I don't need all that complexity, and I'm having trouble narrowing
it down to what I need -- no multiple databases, no growing and
shrinking thumbnails. All I want is to be able to put a bunch of
images and one XML dataset in a folder and have the ability to have
people click on "Previous," "Next," or "Play/Pause" in addition to
being able to click on a specific image.
One of the problems with the demo for me is the dataset names
used in the demo get confusing -- I'm having trouble following the
distinction between and relationship between when you use
dsGallery, dsGalleries, dsPhotos, and photo, not to mention, why it
is ultimately unnecessary to make any reference to "china" and and
the other folder names. And since I know next to nothing about
Javascript, I can't figure out what substitutions to make to the
gallery.js code, which is designed to work with these multiple
databases, and also can't figure out which pieces I need and
whether the pieces I don't need would get in the way if I left them
in the js doc or if everything extraneous has to be eliminated.
3. One of the problems with implementing more Spry pages is
the tedious work involved to make a little thumbnail for every
single image in a set, and then make sure they're all exactly the
same size, which is what I've done so far. I have figured out what
to do when the main image size varies, and Spry handles that well.
But here are my problems:
a. What if the thumbnails vary in size? For instance, this
hydeliinv.html page has four maps that are part of a set, but are
all different proportions, and four details I'd like to show that
represent what they look like close up, all of which are in
different proportions as well.
b. And can I have Spry call on the same image file and
display that full size for the main image, and reduced for the
thumbnail?
You'll see right now in
http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinv.html
I've set the height and width in the spry: repeat tag for the
thumbnails to 100px. I tried just setting the height to that, and
width to auto; I tried just setting the height to that, and
omitting the width. In both cases, no thumbnails display at all. I
see in the Spry Photo Album Demo the use of "path" designations in
photos.xml. Could I do something with an XML doc that looks like
this to address both (a) and (b)?:
<hydeli>
<inv_item id="1">
<title>First Map</title>
<dimensions1>36.5 x 34 inches</dimensions1>
<dimensions2>37.5 x 36.25 inches</dimensions2>
<photo

I tried to figure this out, too, but to no avail.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I understand the challenge and worked out some answers that
support our photo gallery for the ski club. I wanted something
simple that would support a gallery of up to 100 pictures reliably.
Also, I wanted it to extract information from the image metadata
such as names or descriptions.
The image processing is done using photoshop macros which
create the appropriate sized image and thumbnail.
After trial and error I realized current CSS technology is
NOT capable of vast quantities of demands from more than 20
thumbnails. That's when I settled on hard formatting the thumbnails
png files with a nice black border. The thumbnails load up quite
nicely with NO style formatting. I used PNG files for the
transparency support.
The XML data is created using a program I wrote to parse the
metadata from the image files. Now that all the photoshop macros
and the XML parser is written, I can load up a large gallery in
less than thirty minutes. (Not including photo editing.)
Hope this helps.
