The web photo album command needs some improvement

First I'd like to thanks for the
web
photo album command embed with Dreamweaver. My job requires me
create photo albums with thousands of pictures, it saves a lot of
time for me.
Now I'd like to ask someone to improve this fuction. I need
to click the thumbnails on the index page to pop-up a window that
show up the detail picture page (If I can key in the pop-up window
size in the command UI will be perfect). Currently this album
generator only links to the large picture's page. I need to make
them to a pop-up window for each manually (thousands of them).
I tried
Web
Photo Album 2.2 for Dreamweaver 8 and MX 2004, V2.2.6, it
doesn't have this function either. Compare to the web photo album
command in Dreamweaver, it can't generate filename to caption in
the detail picture page automatically (You can key in captions in
Fireworks manually though).
If someone can improve the web photo album command to pop-up
window available, I think use "close window" link instead of the
link to the album index page in the detail picture's page will be
helpful.

Not free, but if you do photo albums regularly, you might

  • Web photo album error - need help please

    I am using the newer version, which is Web Phot Album 2.1. It
    used to work fine, i installed the new update for dreamweaver and
    now it doesn't work. When i did update dreamweaver, I did what it
    said and disabled the exentions. So, to the problem. When I click
    on the open files button to choose which pictures i want, it gives
    me this error :
    ' A script in file C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
    MX\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscripts.js has been
    running for a long time. Do you want to continue?'
    so after i click yes, it will build the images using flash,
    but it will not create any of the html or any of the html pages.
    please let me know if anyone has any other ideas?????

    In addition to the missing correlation between the
    amsSettings table and at least one of the other tables per Ken's
    suggestion (which will give you a Cartesian join if unresolved),
    you should either remove the double quotes from the
    #SESSION.auth.NewLinesNo# parameter if it is numeric, or use single
    quotes if it is a text field ('#SESSION.auth.NewLinesNo#')

  • DW8: Web Photo Album

    My computer is Dell laptop, Windows XP. I have DW8 & FW8.
    I am using the Web Photo Album command that comes with DW8, not the
    Web Photo Album 2.2 extension. It generates the .htm pages, but
    does nothing with the images. I have searched the forums here and
    found several similar questions but no solutions other than
    re-install FW. Has anyone come across another solution to this
    problem by now? (Re-installing didn't work.) I have worked through
    the process on another computer and not had this error
    message.

    I wish I could help, but all I can do is confirm that this
    issue still occurs in DW/FW CS3. I've tried two different computers
    running it and get the same error message.
    I've written about it on the Crappy Software Blog:

  • Creating a Web Photo Album on Dreamworks CC

    I used to often use the create web photo album command in DW 3 regularly to build image pages with thumbnail links but this function has dissappeared from the new Dreamworks Creative Cloud.  I've read that this function has migrated to the new Bridge application, but am unable to get an output tab.  I downloaded the adobe output module and added it to the Bridge extensions workspace folder and that disabled Bridge from even opening.  Nothing I do seems capable of bringing the the output tab from its hiding place and I'm deeply frustrated by the labryinthe created by the lack of that simple create web photo album command.  Are there other solutions that adobe expects the new version of dreamweaver to offer in the place of this handy tool?  

    DW isn't a photo gallery creation tool.  There are much better options available for that.

  • Cannot Create Web Photo Album

    I have Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks CS3. I am unable to create
    a Web photo album in DreamWeaver because I get an error saying that
    Fireworks 4 or greater is required to create a photo album. I have
    the full version of Fireworks CS3.

    I have upgraded to DW Studio 8 from MX2004 and have a similar
    problem...it's inconsistent though. Sometimes I am able to create
    the web photo album with no problems. But tonight it balked and
    balked and balked! I wound up opening up DW 2004 and FW 2004 and
    created the photo album that way and somehow it linked back to the
    DW 8 site. Is there a way to prevent this conflict??
    Help!

  • Adding pictures to a Web Photo Album 2.2 Extension

    I've created and posted a web album using the Web Photo Album
    2.2 extension.
    Now I'd like to add a few photos to it. How can that be done?

    mmm! I'm seeking exactly the same answer. Surely once the
    code has been written by DW & FW it can be edited to include
    subsequent images/coding at a later date?

  • Tag Library for Web Photo Album  2.2.6

    I am attempting to use the Web Photo Album extension 2.2.6
    and am wondering how to get the file name to show up underneath the

    I just want to use the file name. In the standard Web Photo Album
    creator there is a check box to include the file name. Can anyone
    tell me how to do this when creating a custom template.

  • Create Web Photo Album

    I'm trying the 30-day version of Fireworks CS3 for two
    reasons: First I want to more easily create my web photo albums,
    and second, I want a graphical navbar with some elements having a
    popup menu.
    The issue I'm running into when I use the &quot;Create
    Web Photo Album&quot; command from within DW CS3 is that the
    resulting images get renamed to have a suffix of
    &quot;_jpg&quot; added. I HATE that! (This means that an
    image called &quot;name.jpg&quot; gets changed to
    &quot;name_jpg.jpg&quot;. Redundant, to say the least.
    How can this be controlled? If I use FW directly to optimize
    an image, this renaming doesn't happen, so I'm guessing this is
    something that DW controls. And I'd like to override that.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    NO! It's not that easy! Have you actually tried the advice
    you just gave? That'll break the whole routine!
    (Folks, whatever you do, before attempting ANY modifications
    to this file, MAKE A BACKUP!!!)
    You need to make changes in several places and everything
    must remain in sync - don't forget that this routine also writes
    the html table code to display both the thumbnails and full-size
    images and the href and img src references must point to the
    correct files! If you remove the references to .jpg the resulting
    html tables will NOT work! And the files will probably be wrongly
    named as well.
    Proceed with caution!
    I'll see what I can do about documenting what I did - I'm new
    to javascript but have many years of higher level programming
    experience. The first thing I did while going through the code was
    to put in comments explaining what certain parts of the code did,
    as I figured them out. And then with great care, I made my changes.
    By the way, Notepad certainly works for this, but it's a lot
    easier to use Dreamweaver itself or (what I did) the Adobe
    Extendscript Toolkit 2 that was included with my CS3 package. It
    makes it easier to visualize the blocks of code and how everything
    relates. And the find/replace dialog is superb.

    Open .js with notepad, in notepad press CRTL-F, type ".jpg"

  • Creating web photo album

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone can help me with a script that
    simply doesn't seem to want to run properly for me on some images.
    When I run the command from Dreamweaver to create a web photo album
    all starts well for the first couple of images and then comes up
    with the error "could not run the script. This command requires an
    active document". Has anyone had this problem, some images it is
    fine with but others I just can't get it to work on. Has anyone has
    this issue before? Is it related to file sizes? All of my images
    have been saved in exactly the same way so there should be no
    issues with some and not others.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    You do need to have saved the page before you start. Although
    you sound like
    you may have other issues.

  • Web Photo Album 2.1 - putting it in page

    Hi,
    I'm on DW MX and haven't used it in a while. I installed the
    extension web photo album 2.1 and I have a page onto which I want
    to put a photo gallery. So I have the page created and my cursor
    placed and I chose 'Command/Create Web Album2.1" and I created the
    album.
    First, when I chose to add captions (and it must access
    Fireworks MX to do so). it was fine but it skipped showing some
    photos when it asked for a caption. So some photos got left out.
    Also, this seems to create a folder for my gallery but is
    there a way to insert this gallery into an existing page, at least
    as a starting point?
    I now see my photo gallery folder for instance, but I have no
    way to preview it (once I pulled out of the initial creation
    preview).
    I'm kind of lost as you might surmise, but I'm fairly
    experienced with web programs.
    I appreciate any guidance,....Thanks, Frank B.

  • Create Web Photo Album Problem

    Please help!!!!!! I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite CS3 so I
    have all the programs loaded on my computer.
    I have been working on this for 2 days and cannot get this
    command to work. I have 15 folders of pics that need to be put up
    and I want family to be able to click on the thumbnail and open up
    to a larger pic. There are over 100 pics in there. I loaded all the
    pics in their own folders; I have tried jpg, tiff, jpeg, psd and
    gif pics; (I separated them by file name so there are none mixed in
    the folders) I put the pic folders inside my web page folder, then
    I tried it on my desktop and I tried to use My Pictures folder.
    This is how I am doing this:
    I have the index.html page open on Dreamweaver CS3
    I hit Command > Create Web Photo Album >
    fill out "Photo album title:
    fill out "Subheading info:
    fill out "Other info:
    In the "Source images folder:" when I Browse I go to the
    folder and
    I click on it and when that opens there are no pics in there.
    Nothing shows up at all.
    I finish up the rest and an error message shows up "An error
    occurred".
    Anyone know what I am doing wrong????
    Thank you.... Linda

  • Editing a Web Photo Album Created With Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3

    I created a web photo album with DW CS3 and FW CS3. I want to
    add and delete some of the photos in the collection. So far, the
    only way I have been able to do this is to recreate the whole thing
    from scratch with all the correct pictures in the target folder. Is
    there an easier way?

    I could be wrong (we only test Adobe widgets for the quality
    of their output
    code, not for features, or lack of features) but recreation,
    as Patty said,
    might be the only way. If you have a development budget, you
    might want to
    take a look at some commercial tools that would have the
    features and
    capabilities you want or need.

  • Problem with Creating Web Photo Album

    I have Dreamweaver CS 4 and I tried to make a web photo album using a trial version of Fireworks CS4.   Once Fireworks starts I get an error message saying there is a problem with Fireworks and it shuts down.   The photo album folders and html pages are created, but the pictures aren't there.  I've done on another computer and it works great.  Could there be a problem with the trial version of Fireworks?  I can open Fireworks on its own and works fine.
    Thanks for any help

    How are you uploading your site to the server?  Are you using iWeb's ftp capability?  For some unknown reason it can fail at uploading changes to the site and leave vital pages out causing problems like you're experiencing. Have you tried using the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option to get all of the new files uploaded? 
    If this continuse you might have to use a 3rd party FTP client like  Cyberduck, YummyFTP or Transmit to upload the new files manually.  All of those apps provide a Finder like window of your server so you can easily drag and drop the required files onto the server. 
    To determine exactly what files are missing and where they go bring up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page in Safari.  It will list all of the files it expects to find and indicate those which are missing.
    If a file is missing a Not Found will be listed at the right.
    Note:  The bottom of your Contact page runs off the content portion of the page and can't be seen. Either lengthen the length of the page with the Inspector/Page/Layout pane or add an empty text box and drag it downward pushing the footer area below the last of the content.
