Web-based photo posting question

I want to post pictures from family albums on a password protected web site, so family can review and help identify them. iPhoto does not seem to do exactly what I want, so I'm looking for suggestions.
I can change the date of a photo within iPhoto to be what I believe the date of the photo to be. I am looking for feedback from the family as to whether or not these estimated dates are correct. So, what I need to be able to do is have a photo posted, and include these items from iPhoto:
title
date
time
description
keywords (possibly want this)
Is there any "plugin" for iPhoto that will let these things be posted to a web site? I can't have the date of the photo as it appears in the Finder; it needs to be the changed date and time as I've entered it in iPhoto.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how this can be done?

Steven:
I know of no way to get a web sit or slideshow with all of the items you want with any of the iLife applications. You can have a password protected web site with iWeb same as with a Web Gallery. But the photo page will only display the file name. Now you can replace the file name with the description with this Applescript before creating the web page (or the Web Gallery): An AppleScript to copy iPhoto Description to Name.
There are professional image management applications that can create a web gallery of photos with all of the metadata listed with each photo. But not with the current iApps.
However, you can export most of the metadata as a text file with Metadata Export for iPhoto v1.1.0 and then post that text in a second page of an iWeb site for reference. Not convenient but doable.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Web based PDF Doc question - not sure how to describe

My manager has asked that I research a way to change a web based pdf file to allow fellow co-workers to either download it has a whole, or just sections of it. I've tried looked into bookmarks and portfolio, but it just doesn't seem to do what he requires.

You should have a Binder for your complete PDF and separate section files individually constructed for each chapter or section
that should be available as a portion of the whole. So, in essence you would create individual PDF's first then collect
them into a single PDF Binder (not a Portfolio)

How to copy photos from iPad that don't appear when plugged in to PC or in web based Photo Stream?

Hi all,
Got a real doozy of a problem. Had a load of photographs on an iPhone 5 which synchronised via Photo Stream onto our iPad. iPhone 5 has just stopped working due to water damage and we've lost access to the photos. However, the photos we have lost all come up under Photo Stream on the iPad. We need to copy these photos off so I plugged the iPad into our laptop and navigated to the images through Explorer but they weren't there. So I the added the iCloud control panel to our laptop and browsed to Photos folder and clicked on Photo Stream and there are about 350 photos in there but about 600 on the iPad. I really need to get these photos back an just can't find a way of getting them back. Would really appreciate some help please.
Thanks
Adam

The photo stream server only keeps photos up to 30 days. Once on a device's photo stream album, they stay there until you delete them on the device or turn off photo stream. In your case, when you turned on photo stream on the PC, you only got what was available from the server, the older ones have been deleted.
Now, about the ipad. In it's photo stream, you can view each photo, the icons at the bottom of the view screen includes a box with arrow coming out of it (on my iphone, the icon is at the bottom left). When you tap that icon, you then get a choice to save to Camera Roll. What you need to do is save all the photos you no longer have on the PC from the ipad's photo stream to Camera Roll. This could take time.
Once these are in camera roll, sync the photos from the ipad to your computer.

My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at low resolution. The camera on my phone works fine, but any web related photo content is now pixelated and low res, what's the deal?

My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at a low resolution. I have IOS 7.0.4. My phone camera works fine, but any web based photo content from Safari, Yahoo images, Google images, and Flickr all come in pixelated and low res. What's the deal?

It happened to me but later I figured out that cellular signal was not that great and so the Internet was very slow. It took me about 2 minutes to get the full resolution picuture on either of the app you've described. Try to get faster internet either by wifi or good signal and then check.

Web-based mail program as default for emailing photos?

I'd prefer to use my gmail account to send photos, rather than my Mail account. But the options are only for Mail, Entourage, and AOL, I think.
I can't seem to figure out how to do this any other way than from gmail, click "attach a file" and browse through my directories and select each individual photo. This would be fine, except that the attachments are enormous and I can't figure out how to resize them to a manageable size.
So, to summarize. Is it possible to use a web-based mail program as your iphoto default? If not, how can I shrink the size down to 240X320 or 640X480, or somewhere in that range?
I'm using iphoto 4.0.3. Thanks.

There are programs that allow you to designate a web mail page for the default email program (WebMailer for one). I would guess they should work the same jumping from iPhoto, but don't know how well they'd work at attaching an image since that is usually a process specific to how the page is designed.
Probably, it'd be easiest to leave Mail as the default email app with Gmail set as the default account, for situations like this, and use the regular webmail interface when you're not planning to attach an image if you like that interface more.

Web Based approval and download

Hello
I recently went to one of Apples final cut studio tours, i was pretty impressed with final cut server but have a couple of questions to anybody who uses the web based approval service, i believe its called ruby!
1. is it possible to post entire catalogues of still images/movies for approval and download?
2. Are all major filetypes supported by the web app, including, PDF, EPS and PSD?
the reason for this question is that we are also a photo studio thinking of investing in a good web based asset management system.
thanks
Mark

Mark,
Just curious if you were ever able to use EPS files in Final Cut Server?
We would love to have that capability, but it doesn't seem to be there yet....at least the last time I checked a few months ago. Another cool thing would be auto-launching of Microsoft Word for word documents. We have a "Scripts" server which stores copy and we're indexing the directory that holds those files. It'd be awesome for users to type in a job number, see the document, double click it and open in word. You can just drag the doc over on top of the word logo in the dock and that'll open it, but looking to get a little more streamlined.
Thanks,
Ryan

Web Based Application Single Sign on With Enterprise Portal

Good day Developers,
My question is really a two part question so forgive me in advance for asking in one post as I think they are relative to each other. My project is currently exlporing the creation of functionality that will allow the following:
1. We want to allow a secure Web Based application possessing the abilitiy to auithenticate the user into Enterprise Portal and by passing the login screen to get to a landing page/iview in our Enterprise Portal instannce.
2. We want the abilitity to perform a check of the user and create the user in the enterprise portal on the fly if they do not already exist.
So far in my research I've come across tools and white papers mentioning the use rof oAuth and OpenID. Is that the right way to tackle these two items. Thanks for your help in advance.
JD

Hi
1. You can do SSO between you application and portal using Verisign or third party authentication tool. I am not pretty sure how landing page and all will work as you mentioned.
As portal is web based, you can deply your application in portal server. So that you will not need any other authentication tool.Also you can save effort , cost.
2. By deploying application in portal also you do not have to concentrate on User management, which is itself a huge effort you have to put. Else you can go for third party tools like Identity management or ADS.

How can I video chat with someone who uses web based yahoo?

Not long ago I purchased my first Mac (New MacBook Pro 2.53GHZ); last Summer I also purchased a MacBook Pro for my daughter. Everything works great (like driving a formula one Porsche after grappling with a battered pick-up truck (meaning Windows) for many decades; cannot imagine ever going back. But, there is one issue that I have not been able to solve and for which I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice. I am familiar with ichat and with AIM (my daughter uses it all the time). However, the vast majority of people with whom I communicate via IM live in parts of the world where very few people have even a computer at home much less residential internet access. As a result, near all of the folks I would be chatting with have to use public computers (internet cafes, libraries, etc) and obviously they cannot install AIM or anything else on those public computers. About 90% of them use the web based yahoo messenger which can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection (most of the rest use MSN). My question is this: I know how to do video chat in ichat but ichat does not support yahoo. How can I do video chat with someone who is using web based yahoo on a public computer that has a USB web cam? I was able to do this on my old PC which had a plug in web cam but do not know how it might work on a Mac. Should I install yahoo messenger on my MacBook Pro and will that work for me?. I know about some other Mac compatible chat clients such as Admiun but as far as I can tell none of them support video chat or in some cases yahoo. Perhaps I am overlooking something. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice in this matter. Thanks to anyone who reads this post and has any helpful info.

Zurich,
I don't think the web-based Yahoo Messenger supports video, so nothing you can do with that.
http://messenger.yahoo.com/features/
I think there are Mac compatible MSN clients that will do video, (i.e. aMSN) Also, Microsoft plans on releasing an updated version of Messenger for Mac soon.
http://www.officeformac.com/blog/An-Update-on-Messenger-for-Mac
GoogleTalk does have a browser based video chat, but your friends would need to install a browser plug-in. (which I would assume that can't do either)
The best option is Skype, but also requires an install on their end (I would think that the internet cafes would/should have this available)
Good Luck,

Help With Editing The Background Color On PHP-Based Photo Gallery Software!

If you've set up your site definition properly in
Dreamweaver, you should
be able to copy the table in design view from home.html and
paste into
gallery/index.php and DW will correct the paths
automatically. It /might/
even copy the relavent JavaScript over (I don't have DW on
this computer to
test that).
But to answer your question, any path to the images must
point to the site
root (where your images are stored). The links will likely
need to point
there as well. For example, the Home button in your table
gets its image
from:
src="Home Navigation Home01.png"
In order for that to work from pages in the gallery folder,
it will need to
be linked with either a site root relative, or a simple
relative path:
src="/Home Navigation Home01.png"
The above example tells the server to look for the image in
the site's root
folder.
src="../Home Navigation Home01.png"
This example tells the server to get the image from one
folder up from the
current folder.
Likewise for the links. ie: href="Home.html" would become
either
href="/Home.html" or href="../Home.html"
href="phpBB3/index.php" could become href="/phpBB3/index.php"
or even
href="/phpBB3/"

Web Based Messageboard (JSP, XML, XSLT) - Just Looking For Advice Please!

I have a general question - I am not looking for any code, just some advice if possible. I am studying on a Masters course and I have been given an assignment to do which I am having difficult getting started. I have worked a lot with Java up until now, however this is the first time I have had to JSP on my course.
My current assignment is that I am required to create a simple web based message board, using JSP and XML, which allows users to post messages to the board, and also to reply to messages. The content of the message board is stored in an XML file, and there is no database involved. The message data needs to be formatted for viewing in a browser using XSL transformations.
I am stuck as to how to go about starting the project, and this is all I am asking for advice in. I have created the basic XML file which has some preliminary data stored within it, and I have created an XSL stylesheet to transform this data, however I am stuck with the JSP. Do I need to create a seperate JSP page for each page of the website? How does this link in with the XSLT?
I would welcome and really appreciate any advice, but I stress that I am not looking for anyone to give me any code or anything like that.
Thanks.

You can use XSLT to convert XML to HTML. Then include this HTML in your JSP. Further on you've a plain HTML form with an input field for a message which you submit to a servlet. In the servlet validate/convert/whatever this message and add it to the XML file and then forward/redirect the request back to the JSP.

How do I open a web based PDF document on my iPad?

I am unable to open web based PDF documents as I fear Apple does not trust PDF documents on the Web.

Hi Rick,
Did you try attaching screenshots to your reply to the email from this forum? Because the Adobe forums do not accept any type of attachments for security reasons, your photo attachments did not get through. Sorry about that.
But I think I know what you saw when you tried to open one of the PDF Application Forms on the Alberta (Canadian) government web site.
Did you see a message like this in Safari on your iPad?
Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
If so, the PDF form is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form". The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
As far as I know, there are no iOS apps that support dynamic XFA forms. The mobile version of Adobe Reader does not support dynamic XFA forms. Neither does Safari or iBooks on iOS. It's the limitation of mobile PDF viewer apps.
To recap
Dynamic or static XFA forms - Use the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or Windows computer.
Most PDF documents and non-XFA forms - Use the mobile or desktop version of Adobe Reader.
Please note that Apple iOS apps (such as Mail, Safari, and iBooks) do not display filled form data or annotations (sticky notes, highlight, etc.) at all. If a PDF document/form is first opened in Mail, Safari, or iBooks, you need to use the iOS "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
(This is the same FAQ document that I mentioned in my reply #2 above.)
In this particular case, using the "Open In" feature to transfer the PDF Application Form from Safari to Adobe Reader for iOS does not help. Because Adobe Reader for iOS cannot display the dynamically generated content of the XFA form from the Alberta government web site.
But you should be able to open other "regular" PDF documents (just like the one that I provided as a sample link) in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Web-based data visualization tools

Hi. I originally posted this question to the LV forum, but I am going to modify my question because I think Diadem may be a good solution for us.
I am embarking on a interesting research project that will involve recording lots of physiological signals from patient monitors in a hospital. I will be recording signals like BP, spO2, Pulserate, ECG, etc.
Right now, my main design concern is how to give clinicians access to the data after it is recorded. I think Diadem might be a good solution, but I really want it to be web-based.
Here is my wish list:
- Store the data securely, where access can be restricted and controlled (e.g. user must login)
- Allow users (who are granted access) to login and view historical data via a simple web browser
- Allow users to pick datasets amd zoom, scroll, etc.
- Allow user to view data in stacked plots (e.g. so they can see multiple signals simultaneously on the screen and scroll the time axis)
- Allow user to annotate data (e.g. add comments at specific timestamps)
Do you have any reccomendations for a web-based data visualization tool like this? Do you think Diadem meet my needs?

Hello J Osborne,
You application sounds like a great fit for DIAdem and the DataFinder, with the exception of the Web-based nature of the application. We currently do not offer a native web interface to DIAdem and it's features, but there are ways to accomplish that using established technologies such as remote clients ...
Here are my comments to your individual questions:
- Store the data securely, where access can be restricted and controlled (e.g. user must login)
* The DataFinder Server (which works with DIAdem) technology can be used to give specific users access to only data they are supposed to see, so we can cover this part of your application
- Allow users (who are granted access) to login and view historical data via a simple web browser
* This would have to be achieved via a remote client solution, since DIAdem offers no native Web client
- Allow users to pick datasets amd zoom, scroll, etc.
* This is something that the DIAdem NAVIGATOR and DIAdem VIEW are very good at, including the ability to search for data sets based on specific key words, patient names, etc. and the ability to look at multiple data sets simultaneously in multiple windows with zooming and scrolling.
- Allow user to view data in stacked plots (e.g. so they can see multiple signals simultaneously on the screen and scroll the time axis)
* That's DIAdem VIEW, sounds like a perfect fit: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7384
- Allow user to annotate data (e.g. add comments at specific timestamps)
* DIAdem VIEW has the ability to highlight events with cursors, and we could easily add the ability to add comments through a custom dialog and a short script. We could prepare and demo this feature for you ...
I would be happy to discuss your application with you in more detail. Feel free to contact me at (800) 531-5066 (ask for Otmar Foehner) or via email at otmar DOT foehner AT ni DOT com.

Visitors can't tag Facebook photos posted via LR4 publish module

What I'm bringing up is going to be a strange and esoteric issue, and I'll be surprised if anyone has any input to offer, but here goes.
We run a Facebook Page that relies on posting many photos and enabling page visitors to tag themselves in said photos. Up until the LR4 release, we were simply posting these photos through Facebook's web interface. Starting last week, we started using the LR4 publish module to publish straight to our page in order to skip a whole step in our workflow, and we were thrilled with how well it was working. Since then we've uploaded three photo albums via Lightroom. However, beginning just yesterday an interesting issue has developed. We started getting complaints from guests that they couldn't tag their images, and after testing it out, we confirmed that visitors are no longer able to tag themselves in the LR-uploaded photo albums. This was not the case the whole past week, where we saw dozens and dozens of people being tagged. All older albums (ones uploaded traditionally) still let guests tag photos with no issues.
Anyone have any insight to shed? As much as we love being able to publish right from Lightroom, we plan to revert back to posting via Facebook like always until this issue is resolved.

Me too, narxzrugn!
fans are unable to tag photos on my fan pages since January 2012.
Steps taken to resolve issue:
- have set page profile setting “People can tag photos posted by Spinferno {Fire & Photography}” to ticked.
- have set page type to ‘person’ (Artist)
- have reauthenticated my Jfeidl Lightroom export plugin and attempted to test again. Unsuccessful.
- have looked into Adobe’s LR4 forum: status is unsolved.
- have sent several FB support requests: no replies yet.
I alone am able to tag all photos, but nobody else is.
To everyone who is having this problem, please stand up and be counted as that will get this problem more fairly escalated by Abobe and FB:
Here is the tag issues in FB community help, please make it clear that you too are experiencing this problem, thanks.

LSO Web based training with Final Test

Hi,
Our requirement is to have E-learning course with a final exam in it, qualification should be imparted after successful completion of the exam. We have been able to do it by creating and structuring E-learning course in Authoring environment as multiple learning objects. Final test is attached to the learning net as a test element created in the learning net. With this way of course structuring, we have been able to achieve our objective of offering the E-learning with an exam in it for compliance certification, but system does not store the test results (you will get test feed back as pass/fail and final % score, but not at the item level as you can get in On-Line exam).
Figured that if you create exam as Post test (for Learning net), results are stored, but course can be passed/completed or reached to 100% as soon as you complete all the objects in the learning net (without the final exam). Post
test is linked to the learning net, but not as learning object.
My question is, how to make post test mandatory to set the course completed. Learning progress should not reach 100% before passing the final exam.
Really appreciate your help to figure this out.
Thanks,
Jaya

Hi Ravi,
Delivery method we have used is 'Web based training'.
I also tried using Learning objectives on the learning net and on the Item group of the test. Set the course completion specifications to account for both Learning objects and learning objectives. Now learning progress is getting stuck at 50% even though final all objects and final exam is successfully completed.
Noticed that learning objectives are not being transfered to the participant in the backend.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Jaya
