Web Gallery Posting from Different iPhoto 7.0.1 Libraries

I use the program iPhoto Library Manager so that I can have more than one iPhoto library -- one for cooking, one for the garden, one for a travel trip, etc.
I've posted a couple galleries using the "Web Gallery" feature from my cooking iPhoto library. Works fine: both galleries show up on the first page.
Do I understand correctly that if I posted a gallery from, say, the garden iPhoto library, that it would try to synchronize the galleries at dot mac with those in the currently open iPhoto library (garden) and, because the first two galleries were in the cooking library, it would probably delete them?

mbabc:
No, I don't think that would happen. I've posted two galleries, each from a different library. When I posted the second it did not delete the first. It just added the second to the gallery in my .Mac account.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

.mac web gallery images from iPhoto

Is any one having this problem? When you create a web gallery from an Event in iPhoto and you go to the My Gallery section each gallery of photos does not have an image, it is just gray with a gray image. It is suppose to have an image from the gallery and when you scroll over it you see all the images. It is not working for me?
Any ideas?
Donje

When you move the cursor over the gallery it should show the various files located insdie, i.e. skimming. What happens when you click on one of the galleries? Does it open and display properly? Do you only have one gallery? Try creating a second test gallery of a couple of photos and try again.

Web Gallery gone from iPhoto

Someone uploaded some pics to my web gallery, which is current online, and now that web gallery is no longer present in my iPhoto. If I go in to Preferences, Web Gallery - it's still listed there. But it's not under WEB GALLERY on the left side of library.
All upgrades have been done.

in the preferences what are the Sync settings? Try clicking sync now.
if that does not work then try going to your gallery on your iDisk (finder ==> iDisk ==> web ==> sites ==> _gallery ==> find the gallery you want - by number) and see if you can drag the photo to your desktop (and then import into iPhoto

BTW - the most common way to lose contact with a web gallery is to make changed to it in iPhoto WHILE it is syncing with your iDisk - avoid doing this until Apple fixes this bug

Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?

when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?

You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions.

Web Gallery missing from Sidebar

For some reason, my Web Gallery icon which lists all my published web galleries has disappeared from my iPhoto sidebar. How do I get it back? I can see my Library, Recent, Subscriptions and Albums sidebar items but no Web Gallery. Please help and let me know how to bring it back to my Sidebar listing alll my published Web Gallleries.

Same issue here - mine happened right after I did the October iLife update
In reply to CCRiders post - it's not the button in the bottom toolbar that's missing it's the actual previously posted gallery's that don't show up anymore in the SideBar, even though they're still posted.
The Galleries are still in the Web/Sites folder on the iDisk. They have a specific # which is why you can repost it with the same name and it doesn't overwrite it, instead it adds another one.
Weird 'eh!

Publish web gallery to a different .mac account

Hi Friends.
Can I publish web galleries to both of my .mac accounts from the same Mac?
It seems like I might have to create a different user account on the MAc itself and make the other .mac account the default for that different user. I would really rather not do that, as I have one iPhoto library with all of my photos for every aspect of my life and work.
Thanks for any guidance.

To make is more convenient to do that you could create a second user account, set it up for the other .Mac account and publish from there. You could either use two separate libraries or put your library on an external HD so both account could use it without ownership/permissions issues.
You can also set up fast user switching so you wouldn't have to log out of one account to get to the other.

Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

What happened to the Web Gallery list in my iPhoto 08 sidebar?

I posted a web gallery yesterday. It's visible online, but no longer listed in the iPhoto sidebar (along with albums, events, etc.). Is this right or has something gone wrong?
I'd like to have it back so that I can invite others to come view the gallery without having to go online to do it.

what version of iPhoto are you running? There have been many fixes to web galleries and there still are some issues to be resolved - in versions before 7.1.2 web galleries were pretty flaky
7.1.3 still have some issues but many less
One suggestion is in the future make an album of the photos you want in the web gallery and do all changes there then publish that album as a web gallery - making changes to a published web gallery while it is updating (and you can not easily control this) still seems to cause problems

What do the icons by .Mac Web Gallery items mean in iPhoto '08?

Can anyone point me to a legend that identifies the various icons that appear next to the Web Gallery entries? Some of them I can figure out like the one that means it's publishing but the others are a mystery.
What do those freaking things mean?
Thanks,
John

John:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you referring to the icons in iPhoto or in the galleries when they are online? In iPhoto there's only the icon that's next to the gallery name on the right. Of course there's the gallery's icon, the round blue thingybob ( ) to the left.
If you're referring to the icons at the top and bottom of a gallery online they are pretty much self explanatory as they also have text labels. If not those, which?
Do you Twango?

Web Gallery uploads not updating iPhoto?

Okay, maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that when people upload photos to my web gallery, iPhoto then downloads those photos into its own copy of the web gallery the next time it is run.
I have a web gallery that started out with 79 photos. A friend of mine uploaded 37 photos, bringing the total to 116. Unfortunately, the only place this is confirmed is in the title of the web gallery when viewed on the web. It says (116) right after the title. The number of actual pictures displayed on the site is still 79.
Curiously, after updating the web gallery on iPhoto, the number increased to 80 from 79, but the web site still shows only 79 photos.
Any ideas? Do I have the concept of web galleries wrong?

In my case, web gallery albums to which people have tried to upload pics show in parens double the number I've uploaded via iPhoto, but none of their photos show up. I, and my friends have conducted many tests now and it seems no photos larger than 380K will upload from the web. No error messages, the little green arrow appears as if everything worked fine, but no pics show up.
I've provided feedback and emailed support and tried phone support - no glory - ah well, maybe an update is in the works - would really like to hype that feature.

Web Gallery dissapears on my Iphoto but remains on line

It is maybe a settings issue but some web galleries dissapear from my i-photo although they are still showing on line. and I can not add/remove photos from those libraries.

I can not add/remove photos from those libraries
First what version of iPhoto are you using? The latest is 7.1.2 and it had fixed many Gallery issues - if you have not updated you should do that first
a couple of things to look at
when you say the Galleries disappear I assume that you mean that they no longer appears in your source list (the left hand sidebar in the iPhoto window)
If they are not there look in preferences under gallery and see it they are there
If not then you can delete them via the finder - finder --web ==> sites ==> _gallery and drag the gallery(s) you want to delete to the trash and empty trash
If the galleries are complicated (not just a single album or event) you may want to print a list of the photo in the web gallery to make reproducing it easier. I generally make an album for my gallery then create the gallery from that album both as back up and to keep me from doing lots of editing while it is published - That can be slow and (used to I think now) sometimes create duplicates and other problems

How to Edit Web Gallery Output from CS5?

Hello! I just upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS5. (Got some scrambling to do to catch up!) I had been using the old File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery to create galleries for my Web site. Massaged a little in Dreamweaver MX (I know, I know...) they look something like this:
http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2/index.html
I found out how to add the old Web Photo Gallery back into Photoshop CS5, but was curious to find out what Bridge CS5 would do with Output>Web Gallery. I experimented with the Standard template and was mostly happy with the result. Here's what I got:
http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2_test1/index.html
Trouble is I'd like to be able to customize the output a little more than allowed within the template itself. It looks like the output has Flash, JavaScript, XML, HTML and maybe other programming resources. I'm fairly familiar with HTML 3 and CSS, but am not a programmer. Can anybody recommend what high-level editing tools (example: Microsoft Word for fancy text editing) I could use to make some modest tweaks? The default modules are fine, but I'd at least like to be able to add a link back to my main gallery page like you see at the top right of my old Web Photo Gallery pages.
Also- are there 3rd party templates for Bridge CS5 Web Gallery?
Thanks, - Dave

Hi i7nvd
Oh my, I missed that completely! Thanks very much for bringing that to my attention. In the meantime I found that ACDSee would do a Web gallery that works OK for me. However I will go back to Bridge Output Web Gallery this afternoon and five it a whirl. Again, many thanks for jumping in and pointing that out to me. I appreciate it a lot!
BTW, thanks for the link to your site built with the Bridge plug-in. And congratulations on the wedding!

Web Gallery - Upload from web page doesn't work

I've created a web gallery with upload permissions set, no name or password, and none of my friends or relatives can get anything to successfully upload.
I'm using iPhoto 8 version 7.0.2 (341) to build my web gallery, but uploading for others just doesn't work. They get the dialog to enter their name and email, they can choose images, they get the progress window, then nothing. I've deleted the gallery and rebuilt it, I've renamed it, I've looked in my _gallery folders on iDisk, and so no, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
Anybody know what's up with the Gallery?

I've not used the upload but some have reported that it does not work BUT that uploading via e-mail does work -- give the e-mail route a try as a work around and report the problem to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Web Gallery Post and Delete Not Working

Before the latest update things seemed to work as expected. After the update my web gallery doesn't work as expected. From imovie 08 I can't successfully delete movies nor can I successfully load them.
Anyone else with the same issues. Apple has really dropped the ball on "works out of the box" or in my case, out of the credit card.
No more money will go to them till they clean up their act.

got help via e-mail from .mac team

Keep CS5 HTML "lightroom" web gallery template from renaming files...

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to an arbitrary number. The caption reads as the original file name, but the actual image has a new name. This is problematic, as my clients will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
As an example: VLNK0321.jpg is renamed as _4856316150.jpg. (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
Is there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem? Can the script be altered to keep the original file name, not the ten-digit arbitrary number that it currently generates?
Thanks for any help offered!

I believe I've discovered the file/script that does the renaming. I've done some testing, and have been able to change the way Bridge does the changes, but not able to keep the original file name.
The file is "galleryCreator.jsxinc", found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts.
I'm not a code-guy, so I'm hoping that someone with more smarts than I can help. Below is the part of "galleryCreator.jsxinc" that does the re-naming. Simply deleting this entire part of the script renders Bridge unusable. So allowing the script to create the altername is important. If the alteration could consist of only adding the "underscore" prefix to the original file name, all would be well...
Here's the pertient portion of the script:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
        alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
            alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
        alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
    return alteredName;
I will send a check for $200 to the first person who can rewrite this to simply add the underscore first, then return the original file name instead of the random number generator, and make it work. Anyone?

Syncing photos from different iPhoto accounts

On my iMac, my wife, daughter and I all have our own accounts on the machine which means we have 3 different iPhoto collections and you can's see one from the other.
Any way we can sync all three iPhoto collections to a single iPad?

You can sync from different folders if they are all sub-folders beneath a main one. If the main folder you are syncing from has sub folders they will show in the box below "Sync photos from folder". For example you may choose to sync from My Pictures and inside My Pictures you have folders for different subjects. You can choose which of those subject folders you want to update to the iPod or you might want to make a folder in there especially for iPod photos. You can drag these folders into an order of your choice.
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder and sub folders on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Inside this folder create as many other folders as you want (or drag and drop existing ones from other locations on your hard drive)
3 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the appropriate folders you just created. (not necessary if you are using pre-existing folders already containing photos)
4 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
5 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
6 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
7 Choose the radio button "Selected folders"
8 Tick the folders you want to go on the iPod and click Apply
When you go to Photos on your iPod you'll see each of the folders you have chosen in the menu and you can choose whichever one you want to view.
