Web Galleries opens erratic

I made a flash gallery that is 8 pages with 12 images on each page. It all works great when it loads. However , there is a problem with it loading that doesn't follow any pattern. Some visitors to the site report that it takes forever to load. Others report no problem and some say it never loaded. Can anyone shed some light on this subject for me.
Thanks

Welcome to the tortured world of a software developer!
Every computer in the world is different. They all have owners with differing levels of expertise (or lack thereof). Some are current with all patches and updates, some have never been updated. Some run very old software, and some very old hardware.
When dealing with so many unknowns, the only real answer is, to tell them to make sure they have their operating system and drivers up to date. Then, to make sure they have the latest Flash installed.
There are really many, many people that always close any prompts about new software versions, or updates available because it takes too much time to do it, or they do not understand.
Sorry for not being too helpful, but I felt had to get up on my box for a moment.

Web galleries put images under a bin directory

The web galleries put the images (both thumb and large) in a path like content/bin/images/... For hosts that use Microsoft Internet Information Server, the bin part of this path breaks the link to images, so they don't display. WHY IN G's NAME do you use bin? bin is for executables, in both unix and Windows, surely.
Because I use a host that uses IIS, I can't use Lightroom-generated web galleries.

Open the folder default_html.lrwengine (it's inside the lightroom app folder) (you should make a backup copy just in case)
Open the file galleryInfo.lrweb
after the line ["photoSizes.thumb.width"] = 130,
Add
["photoSizes.large.directory"] = "large",
["photoSizes.thumb.directory"] = "thumb",
In grid.html change the line <img src="$others/bin/images/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
to <img src="$others/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
and in detail.html change <img src="bin/images/large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
to
<img src="large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
That should get you going.
As to why it uses bin? no idea..

Making Bridge web galleries searchable

I'm sure this will have been asked before on the forum, but after scrolling thought the first four pages of topics I can't see it raised anywhere.
Is there an easy way of adding a search engine that will interrogate a file's metadata when creating a web gallery in Bridge?
The company I work for is looking to set up a gallery of 2,000 graphics to begin with, which will probably grow to 10,000 graphics before too long.
Bridge is great because it converts Illustrator vector files to jpegs (the organisation is Microsoft Office-based, and most staff cannot read vector files). But obviously the resulting gallery has to be searchable. It seems odd that Adobe hasn't included this option as standard when creating web galleries.
I'm a graphic designer by trade, and although I can do a little bit of coding I'm certainly no expert in that area. So I do need a simple solution.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice offered and sorry if I'm bringing up an old chestnut again.

It sounds like your html files are assigned to fireworks instead of safari. Open your file browser (windows explorer or mac equivelent) find an html file and look at it properties. In windows this is where you can change the app that is the default. I am not sure how on a MAC, but hopefully it will jog your memory or someone else will answer.

Making large html web galleries (400-1400 images)

Please post a link to methods on how to do this if I have missed an earlier answer.
I have been building large html web galleries to provide to clients on disks along with the original images. When I do this for galleries of around 400 to 1400 images and up, the web gallery is made but there can be images that are missed and listed as 'not in the library' even though they are present and intact.
I have found a clumsy workaround. After choosing the group of images in the library and selecting the web template in the web module, I open each thumbnail index page and let the thumbnails load and then move to the next index page and let it load, etc. After finishing all the index pages I export the web page. Often I still get error messages but in fact all the images are loaded into the web page and it can be opened with a browser with no problems or missing images.
This is a time consuming method to accomplish something that should be easily automated and automatic. It seems that LR gets ahead of itself in making a page before it has actually loaded the image file...therefore an image is missed.
Has anyone found a better way to do this for large groups of images or do we have to wait for an update to correct this glitch.
Thanks in advance.

Try setting off the gallery export overnight and really leaving it time to finish. I suspect the progress bar isn't totally accurate and things happen before and after it has apparently completed. See if this works.

Web galleries not showing up

Anyone having problem since the updates with Iweb not seeing posted web galleries?
I can access them, but they doe not show up the the insert .mac web gallery area anymore.
thanks

Are you referring to web galleries created by iPhoto? Try opening the iPhoto Library package like this and move the AlbumData.xml file to the desktop and relaunch iPhoto. Launch iWeb and try again. Also make sure they are not password protected.

Aperture 3 and iPhoto web galleries...

Hi Folks,
I have used iPhoto and want to shift to Aperture 3. I have the 30day trial installed and have imported my iPhoto library successfully. iPhoto events, photos and albums are shown in Aperture Projects but I cannot see MobileMe or Facebook albums that were uploaded and displayed in iPhoto.
How am I able to import these web galleries into Aperture 3?
Martin Fuggle

I figured out the mobile me galleries but not FaceBook.
First you need to create at least one new MobileMe gallery from within Aperture.
Go to the MobileMe galleries in Safari. Click on the "adjust settings" tab and it will ask which app you want to sync with. Obviously, select aperture and hit publish. You need to do this for ALL the albums individually.
Done right? I thought so.
I opened Aperture and the albums were still not in there. Go to Aperture preferences and to "Web" there you click on something to the effect of check for new published items. Click to check now.
Voila.
If you figure out the facebook albums let me know. I am guessing those are not possible to do.

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

Lightroom gets stuck when Uploading Web Galleries

Nearly each time I use the FTP function within the Web Galleries, it seems to get "Suck" at Checking FTP Connection Settings.
Does anyone have a way around this? It wastes a lot of time.
Thank you!

Aperture web galleries:How to get rid of metadata?

Purchased Aperture today, and consequently a novice. I like the web galleries
created within Aperture, but would like to have the webpages show up without
any metadata/dates/info. Where is the setting/pref for this?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

with the gallery album selected, click on the little
tag icon with the capital T in it ...
that brings up a drop down ... select none and make
sure at the bottom it says enable plate metadata ...
the opposite disable plate metadata means it is on
and you need to disable ...
easy as pie ...
Actually I spoke too soon...I followed your directions, and the thumbnails are fine, but when opening the individual images in the browser, the **** data is there again. Must be something I am missing. Selected 'none' and 'enable metadata'. Is it a bug or is it me?

Multiple web galleries in one website

Hi guys,
Is there anyway to have multiple web galleries in one website,
ie linked off one page
Gallery 1
Gallery 2
Gallery 3
I can rename the swf, and js files and it works fine, but when i rename the gallery.xml file to what i want, it wont work.
Have opened the .xml file and resaved as what i wanted also
Is there anyway for me to modify the names? so i can have a few different galleries on the one site?
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Claire

Seems you may need something like TTG Auto Index?

Web galleries are gone.

I noticed the other day my web gallery was not showing on my webisite. There is just the message: "The album is not available, Back to web gallery" clicking "back to web gallery" just brings up the same exact message. So I opened iPhoto and all my web galleries are gone there too! I tried to make a new one and nothing happened. No error messages, nothing. I tried to publish a movie via imovie, it acted as if everything was great, when I clicked "visit site now" I got a "we are sorry looking for something on .mac?"
I can't believe this. I have turned so many people onto the mac lately and in the last year I have had more "windows moments" like these than ever since owning a mac.

same exact problem. my new wedding photos are/were all up there for everyone to see. sent the link in an e-mail to many.
meanwhile "poof" the whole gallery is gone!!!
great. the gallery now ***** as bad as iweb publishing. I just wish there was a "reset my idisk to working state" button on iphoto and iweb. i still can't get even one album up.
meanwhile e-mails are rolling in "Hey... the link doesn't work, genius."
.Mac users should get a free six months for what we've already put up with over the last year. If this Gallery problem isn't fixed VERY soon, I'll be forced to post my wedding photos somewhere else, and will eventually migrate from the dying beast that is .Mac altogether.
It's a shame. This is FAR from the "Mac experience" I paid for.
Apple, please put down the phone and fix this mess. I appreciate the new Gallery etc, but now that I reply on it, I expect it to work. I do pay for all this after all.
.Mac is 80% cool, but 30% functional. My membership is up for renewal soon and I'm losing my patience with spending good money on such a fragile service.
Here's hoping Apple is somehow going to improve .Mac functionality and usabilty. So far these seem to be Beta 0.1 features.

No longer option to select iPhoto web galleries to sync to iPhone

Why isn't the web galleries in iPhoto showing up under the Photos tab in iTunes anymore to sync to my iPhone? Only the main albums show for syncing. I always synced the web gallery albums too. This is annoying arghhh
~.

Follow Up:
This worked for me:
"iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications"
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1192
It became more and more obvious that the problem was with iPhoto and none of the other programs. This is because I noticed I no longer had access to my iPhoto albums when selecting my desktop background. As a test, I opened iMove and noticed they didn't show up there either.
I followed the Apple support thread above, deleting the plist file, and then the xml file.
The note it mentions here is what happened to me:
"Some photos you import may have keywords already embedded within their EXIF data. iPhoto will attempt to add these keywords to your keyword list when you import the photo. However, if the keyword contains an unusual character, or is corrupted in some way, this may cause the XML file discussed above to become unreadable. In turn, this will make the iPhoto list come up as empty or blank in other applications. Renaming the keywords will help you to isolate which keyword or photo might be introducing this issue."
There was one corrupt file that created multiple keywords of the same name. I deleted the corrupt keywords through iPhoto:Preferences:Keywords. I also deleted the foul file.
Follow these instructions if you're noticing iPhoto albums not showing up in iTunes, as well as the other iLife apps.
Cheers.

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.

When I click on a link in an email I always get a message 'General failure URL :.... unable to find file' and seconds later the web address opens. Is there anyway to stop this?

I get a message saying 'General Failure. The URL was: ".........". The system cannot find the file specified' whenever I click on a link in an email and then seconds later the web site opens. If I open firefox and then click a bookmark or search I don't have a problem

See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!
