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.

Web galleries won't update/upload

Hi, I have a question about web galleries.
I know the FTP settings are correct (I can browse the folder tree using the 'browse' button on the FTP settings page) and I did manage to upload a gallery earlier today. But I needed it to be an HTML gallery and not a flash one, and now whenever I try to export a selection of photos to my server LR says:
(The task bar top left says:
Upload Web Photo Gallery
Loading uploaded page)
Then I get a dialog box saying
"The specified destination already exists on the server.
Would you like to continue? Some files on the server may be lost."
And a click on 'continue' makes the task bar say "Canceling task..."
And then nothing.
Same sequence if I try to upload to another folder except no 'destination exists'-dialog...
Anyone else had this? Or know a fix?
Also if I try to export a gallery locally to disc, it only exports the html files, never the photos...
Lightroom 3.3
Mac.

I could add these
a link to the gallery when exported to disc and then uploaded
http://themajk.com/proofs/hanna_tangmark_i/index.html
and a link to what should be the first signel photo page
http://themajk.com/proofs/hanna_tangmark_i/content/_MG_2252_large.html
all image id's / filenames seem to be 'nil' and replaced in urls by ?????????
Maybe (well, obviously) I'm doing something wrong, but what?

Web galleries, albums, titles and ratings vanishing. Database corruption?

Hello!
I'm using iPhoto '08, as included with my MBP. The library was originally used with iLife '06, and before that, iLife '05. It's around 11 GB, with about 6400 pics and videos, and I have about half a dozen web galleries and about two dozen albums.
I usually don't give titles to photos individually, but rather the roll/event when imported. The photos I put in an album or upload to my Web Gallery, however, I give a more detailed title and comments.
Last night, I went though my photos, organizing my library and deleting many of the bad-pics I took yesterday. I created three web galleries, each with about 50 photos with custom titles. Today, all three galleries are missing from iPhoto (they did publish without difficulty, however), those that are there are missing photos, and about half of the titles are missing! Many ratings have disappeared too.
What's going on? I'm noticing it clearly with the web galleries, but that's probably because that was what I spent the most time on - titles are missing all over the place. Is it a corrupted library database? If so, how do I fix this - and can I do so and keep my albums, galleries, and titles?
Thanks,
-Dan

Start with a rebuild:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Using Simpleviewer Pro for Web galleries creation

For once, I don't have a problem, I just want to share a wonderful experience with Simpleviewer Pro. Simpleviewer (the free version) comes with LR and is pretty fast and easy to figure out. However, I went and bought the Pro version for $35 and found it much more powerful and faster. It does everything I wanted from a Gallery generation application. I installed it on my desktop but when I tried the same installation on the Laptop, it crashed and told me it cannot install. After emailing techsupport I got an answer virtually in hours. It gave me specific steps to try to resolve the problem and asked to be kept posted on developments. I tried a second time, unsuccessful again and emailed svBuilder-PRO with copies of the error messages I was getting. They got back to me right away : the problem was actually a WINDOWS problem, where an old version of Adobe AIR could not be unistalled to put the new one (Simpleviewer pro uses Adobe AIR). My email had a link to a Microsoft support site which had a Microsoft FIXIT executable. I downloaded and ran the FIXIT, it fixed the problem and svBuilder - Pro installed correctly.
In two words, this software is fast, powerful and elegant, it gives me everything I need for WEB Galleries creation and I would highly recommend it to anybody trying to do (or help doing) a WEB site.

Here's the appropriate language relating to this
d) Soundtrack Pro. You may use the Apple and third party audio ﬁle content (including, but not limited to, the built-in sound ﬁles, samples and impulse responses) (collectively the “Audio Content”), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original soundtracks for your ﬁlm, video and audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own soundtracks that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio ﬁles may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound ﬁles or music beds.
It mentions that you can distribute your audio projects, so that might seem to indicate that the answer is yes. The language is clearer in regard to synchronized music to picture, or audio for broadcast or other distribution.
+Personally I see a gray (grey) area here . . . what about if I took a piece of stock music from the audio content and wrote lyrics to it and called it a song. Can I claim sole authorship of that . . . the agreement seems to indicate yes, but that doesn't scan to me.+
Anyway, i think if you're talking about writing a song using loop content, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes you can sell the resulting creation. _But I'm no lawyer_. It's probably open to debate.

Web Galleries on Photo pages?

I think I already know the answer is no, but... I much prefer the .Mac Web Gallery and it's options to the older photos page you create from iPhoto. I have converted a couple of albums to Web Galleries.
My questions is regarding putting those on a Photos page. I only seem to be able to put a Web Gallery on a blank page. Dropping it onto one of the default album spaces that pop up on a Photos page (where you drag in from iPhoto), of course, does nothing. My main reason is that I would like to consolidate Web Galleries on an Albums page - I really like the look of the albums themselves and it's a nice gateway. I have been able to make a rectangle, change it to a picture frame, resize it and use that, but it's not the organization I prefer, and, again, I'd like to have the gateway in those nice albums. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

CS4 Bridge and Web Galleries

This is probably nit-picking, but I liked a web gallery which I have been using on a site which has about 13 galleries on it. The choices for web galleries in CS4 are OK, but when I checked the file size on a web gallery in CS4 with an identical one I did with CS3, the size was about 5 times as large.
Since I have upgraded to CS4, the old CS3 Bridge isn't available (to my knowledge) and I had to move all the photos from Bridge in CS4 to a folder so I could access the web gallery from CS3.
Tell me if there is an easier way to use the old web gallery directly from CS4 or a way to access the old Bridge from CS3?

Hi all It is still possible to create webgalleries and contactsheets in CS4, but you have to copy some files and folders from a folder called Goodies which you can find on you install disk or download as extras from Adobe.com. In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write: "1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug- Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/ Automate folder 2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

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:

"Store presets with catalog" doesn't work with web galleries

I reinstalled Windows 7 and copied over my LR4 presets and galleries over to the new install. I decided to try ""Store presets with catalog" to keep things simpler next time since I do periodic backups of the catalog folder anyway, so in the future all presets are backed up at the same time as the catalog. I put the presets including a couple web gallery presets in the proper folders. LR4 recognized all presets except for the web gallery presets--when I went to the Web module it didn't list them as options. I then copied those web gallery presets to the default LR4 settings folder (C:\User\XYZ\AppData\Etc-so-on-so-forth) at which point it recognized the presets and listed them in the Web module.
So it seems that LR4 doesn't respect the "Store presets with catalog" setting when looking for web gallery presets. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I have 1 gigantic catalog so it makes sense for me to keep presets with the catalog file for backup purposes.
I disagee. You've already discovered that Web Galleries remain in the default location when you use "Store Presets with Catalog", and there are other things as well which remain in the default location. So if you want to backup your entire Lightroom environment, including settings, now you have to backup not only the Lightroom Settings folder adjacent to the catalog, but also the Lightroom folder in the appdata area of your user profile. It's far simpler to leave everything in the default location (cos you still have to back it up, right), than mess about with backing up partial sets of settings.
Plus, as Sean says, leaving them in the default location means any new catalog (e.g. for testing) gets access to your presets irrespective of where you locate it.
To be honest, I don't think the "Store Presets with Catalog" was the development team's finest hour, as it's implementation seems muddled and inconsistent. We've had to bail out so many people over at Lightroomforums.net ("help, my presets are missing!") that we ended up documenting the implications of using that setting: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14169-What-is-the-purpose-of-the-quot-Store- Presets-with-Catalog-quot-option

Web Galleries and overall image migration

Hey all,
I've got a question regarding the MobileMe web galleries. I'm pretty sure that you can create them in three places; Aperture, iPhoto and iWeb. So my question is kind of relating to two methods of creating and collaborating web galleries.
Say that you've created a web gallery in iPhoto in a pinch but use Aperture primarily. Now you're on Aperture and want to continue to update that gallery. Is there a way to migrate that gallery from iPhoto to Aperture. Or, and this is my situation more specifically, say you're on vacation and create an Aperture based web gallery on your Macbook. Now you're back home and want to continue using and updating that web gallery but are now on the Mac Pro. Can that gallery be migrated from the Aperture database on the Macbook over to the database on the Mac Pro?
To that point, how about image alterations and settings. I've captured some 1200 photos while on vacation, tooled around with them on my Macbook while away making color adjustments, adding vignettes and general improvements. Is there any way to then migrate those albums and/or settings over to the other database in the other system? Seems a shame to have to do all that leg work all over again. Perhaps it's just a matter of grabbing album folders from the database package and bringing them into the other database package?

"Migrating" your photos, albums, adjustments, etc. is a piece of cake. Just export the project/s using file export project from your laptop and use file import project on your desktop. Move or share the .approj file from your laptop to desktop in the way you are most comfortable with.
More info here:

As for web galleries - can't answer that one with detail because I find them uselessly frustratingly unexplainably notoriously unreliable and I hate that you have no control over color profile for downloadable images. So I don't use them now after playing with them for a bit.

Strange behaviour in .mac web galleries

Hi,
I have started to use .mac web galleries with aperture 2. However, I am witnessing some very strange behaviour. Firstly, it seems to take forever to update, the icon at the side of the gallery is permanently on the 'update' icon.
Secondly, whenever I add new photos to the gallery it actually creates an entirely new gallery with all the photos from the previous gallery.
Is anybody else having issues with the aperture flavour of .mac web galleries?
thx
Phil

I have a similar problem Phil! I watch the status indicator for a web gallery progress to about half way then it stops, the album doesn't get published. I have published albums before this started happening, and have published other albums successfully but sometimes certain albums don't publish. I delete them and repost them to no avail. Hopefully we can get some answers! This is quite lame, don'tcha think?

Linking Aperture Web Galleries together

I am trying to make my first web site using Web Galleries created by Aperture. I can not figure out how to have an index page (a page one first goes to when one goes to your site) and then have links to the Aperture Web Galleries.
Can Aperture do this ? Or do I need other software that create the central index page ?
What software are Aperture users maintaining the Aperture web Galleries with ?
Thanks very much in advance.

Frustrated with web galleries

I think I'm about ready to install Gallery on my website and forget about LR's web galleries. I want such simple changes to the defaults, but it seems to be impossible.
I want HTML galleries, not flash. The HTML galleries have the "title" on top and the "description" below the pictures. I thought I could live with this, but I use this as a title and more info. My own eyes were hopping back and forth from top to bottom. That is just unacceptable. The flash galleries, however, have the two together, not separated by the picture.
Forgetting about LR's galleries would also allow me not to have my various metadata fields all mushed together. LR allows you to select multiple items to put into the "description", but no way to format them. Yes, I can put commas, but there are often empty fields, and then it's a mess.
I don't like the font sizes either, but I can fix that by changing one .css file after creating the gallery.
I tried to take the xslt and and xml files extracted from the module, but more files are needed and I don't know which or exactly how to configure them. Even more frustrating because I have found the lines that need to be moved/modified.
I've found descriptions for starting from scratch and other people's flash galleries, but not how to twiddle with the existing galleries. Such small changes I want to do!

Me too. I'm taking a different approach to things, though. Rather than
creating a gallery that produces lots and lots of identical pages, each
containing different images and indexes and so on, I'm working on a gallery
that doesn't produce any HTML at all (or, rather, produces very basic HTML
so I can see the images in the Web Gallery Preview). Instead, I just let it
produces the XML file describing the images and (of course) the image files
themselves (in three sizes: thumbnail, display, and full). I've written a
JSP-based application that can read the XML file and produce the appropriate
pages (that is, I'm treating the XML and image files as a database).
The benefit of this is that if I want to change how my site looks or
behaves, I simply change the JSP and *all* of my galleries change
instantly - I don't have to go back and regenerate them. This also frees me
up to use any technology I want to for the display (right now it's HTML,
since I despise Flash, but if a new tech comes along, I can easily adopt
it).
The downside is that I can only put my site on a JSP-capable server. Most
people don't have access to those (because most ISP's only provide straight
HTML and maybe a few canned scripts), but anyone who can put JSP on their
site could probably use this. In fact, I imagine a similar system could be
written in PHP (perhaps that's what Gallery is - I've only glanced at it),
ASP/.NET, CGI, or any other server-side language.
If anyone is interested in learning more about this, I'd be glad to
open-source it when it's ready (or share ahead of time if you're willing to
take an unfinished project). I don't get to the forums as much as I'd like,
so email me: my first name AT my last name with an "s" on the end DOT com

Changing typeface in Lightroom Web galleries

Is it possible to change the typeface in the web galleries Lightrrom 4 creates?
I use the Lightroom Flash Gallery template, but I'd like to be able to change the typeface for the site title / collection title etc. I can't seem to find a way to do this?
