Web Gallery Question - Any Metadata Control

The new Web Gallery feature is very useful. I would like to know if there is a way to determine which metadata fields that get uploaded to the gallery. In our case, it would be nice to able to upload "Caption" information.

It is not automatic - you need to add them to both the album and the web gallery at the same time
Select the photos and drag them to each location (Album first since it starts an update when you drag them to the web gallery)

Web gallery questions for 3.0

I can't figure out how to upload a gallery to my web site. I hit the upload button, I have my password and username in there. I'm not sure, but I think to get it to the right place on my gallery, I have to do the custom settings, and put it in a sub folder.
Prior to this, I've been putting my galleries up on my site with Dreamweaver CS, where I have a page called "My Pictures". People can scroll through there, find their event, click on it, and see the photos. For me to achieve that, I put the gallery into a web on my computer, in a folder called "galleries". Then I would use Dreamweaver CS with the "My Pictures.htm" page, to post the event name, then drag the target to the proper gallery,
So it only stood to reason, that within Lightroom, I would put my web site's address, without the www. in front of it, as I would in Dreamweaver, followed by /www/folder.
No matter what I do, or variation I've tried, even without all that, and trying to load the gallery to simply my web site, it keeps coming up with "An error occured sending the file. Access was denied". I know the web has plenty of space available, so that's not the problem. Any suggestions? I'm using the proper name and password.
The 2nd problem, is that I can't even save the gallery, to the folder on my computer! This is a back up, in case I can't upload the gallery via Lightroom. I tried to use "export", the tab next to "upload", and it won't do a thing. I aim it to the right folder and hit save, but nothing happens. If I go to the drop down list under "File" on the top left of the screen and hit export, it will simply save the photos to my web in full 8x10 images, but it won't save it as a functional web gallery, with web sized photos and thumbnails. Only as photos, that's it. If I can save it to the web on my computer, as a web gallery, then I can upload it using Dreamweaver CS.
What is going on???? Why won't anything work???

Anthony, I was excited to see this simple answer. But I cannot find the icon with the "T" in it to which you refer. I have a web gallery published. I would love to show caption and keywords. But I can't seem to do that. And on the gallery page, once you click on an image, and then Info, then you get to see the caption along with all the iptc info which I don't need to show.
Just above my viewer window in aperture are only the standard icons like inspector, import, new, email, view, full screen, etc. I can see the web gallery settings but there doesn't seem to be this kind of control in there.

Iphoto 6 and web gallery question

I'm a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds stupid. I have iphoto 6 and have successfully made photo pages, but I can't figure out how to start a web gallery. (I want other people to be able to upload their photos.) I've tried looking at tutorials & stuff but they all have to do with iphoto '08. Am I just blind? I haven't subscribed yet to .mac, I'm still in the trial, does that make a difference? I'd appreciate any help,

I was referring to the customer reviews of ilife '08 on the Apple website. You're right though, most of the negativity was regarding iMovie 7, and the majority of the iPhoto complaints were about their current published photo pages being "all messed up". That doesn't bother me so much because I want to start over with a new web gallery anyway. Also, a guy I talked to said that he was having trouble with iPhoto 7 and his photoshop work. (Like I said, I'm new to this, so my feeble brain lost the exact terminology he used.) I think I will trust what you say though and go ahead and buy it just because it looks so **** pretty. Thank you for your help!

Web Gallery Questions

Sometimes, when I add photos to my Web Gallery, they remain in perpetual pending mode and never actually show up on the Web gallery, even though they are in my iPhoto Web Gallery Album. I can't seem to solve this unless the only answer is to delete and reload the entire web gallery??? I have deleted the pending photos and reloaded them but they stay in pending mode forever and never show up on the actual web gallery.
How do I, as the owner of my gallery, access photos other users have uploaded and edit them, such as editing the title? I do not see these new photos in my web gallery album in iphoto despite them showing up when I go to the gallery via the browser.
Can you upload, as a visitor to some else's web gallery from your own iPhoto or do you have to drag the photo out to the desktop so you can access it from the upload dialog. The upload dialog does not seem to have a photo browser, just as normal open dialog.

Mark:
I don't have an answer to your problem but do want to warn you against subscribing to your gallery to get those added photos. If you do you'll be in danger of replacing your full sized original files with the 800 x 600 files that the gallery uses.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

A few Web Gallery Questions

1) I have an Event with 49 photos I'm trying to upload to the Web Gallery. It seems it will upload only one & then stop. I see nothing that says pending or indicates it's still uploading. I've tried a few times with the same results
2) The one picture it does upload, uploads at the same high res quality in the event. Is there a simple way to upload resized pictures like 800x600. Especially if I'm not concerned with viewers downloading for reprint

Do you mind posting up what your solution was? I'm curious.

Web gallery question

OK, in LR1.x, if you select a series of images in Library and then jump to the Web gallery, it creates a gallery that includes only those images you have selected, not the entire library.
When I do this in LR 2, (Mac), it insists on making a gallery with all the images in the library.
What has changed? Is something broken? Or just a new way to do it?
DN

It's the template that is used to create the default Lightroom HTML Gallery. Actually there are three files that cause the problem, head.html, detail.html and grid.html - That's in LR 1.x - I've only looked at the LR2 head.html, and it has new problems.
Most of the old bugs are still there - all they did in LR2 was to change the document type declaration, and that fell foul of the XHTML tags that they left in the code.
See my earlier post at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c06417d/9
To see the problems (not major, but they shouldn't be there) try a w3c validation of http://www.dcnicholls.com/haleakala/index.html (LR1.4, corrected templates) and http://www.dcnicholls.com/cambra/index.html (LR2, uncorrected Adobe templates) the first validates as XHTML Transitional, the second fails as HTML 4.01 Transitional.
Validation service at http://validator.w3.org/
I'll add to this post when I've edited the offending files, with details on what to fix (or the zipped corrected files, more likely).

Bridge/Photoshop Web Gallery Question-flashobject.js file

Hi There, I have a question about the Photoshop Flash Gallery, particularly the flashobject.js file and index.html file. Whenever I try and open the finished Flash Gallery HTML page, I get a message that says "Please upgrade your Flash player" and "Already have Flash player installed? Click Here." Is there a way that I can remove that and just have it go to the Flash Gallery, if so where? I notice that it says Flash Player 6 but that is an old version. I am not very knowledgeable in javascript so any help would be appreciated.

The current version is Flash Player 10.
Pleaseprovide details about your setup.

Bridge/Photoshop CS3 Web Gallery Question

Hi There, I have a question about the Photoshop cs3 Flash Gallery, particularly the flashobject.js file and index.html file.

Ellen,

Movies in Web Gallery

iPhoto or .Mac for web gallery questions? I'll try here:
Running iPhoto 7.01 and uploaded a web gallery of my niece's wedding. My camera takes QT movies as well and allows you to select movies and even sends a thumbnail with a movie icon on it. But when try and play them you get an generic 'QuickTime is unable to play this movie. Please try again.' and the Gallery entry in iphoto has one of the triangle '!' signs after it as if it ran into problems.
So is it:
a bug in delivery and Gallery doesn't really support QT movies (and should warn you if some are selected or just ignore them)
it only supports certain types of QT movies (though I don't think they got sent)
Or some other problem? No mention of movies that are supported by iPhoto in the database in any Gallery help or notice I can find.

Why is this thread marked as 'Answered?' Is the 'solution' that, while iPhoto 'seems' to be able to upload videos it lists and plays to Web Gallery, videos don't play.
Is that the answer? Has anyone been able to have videos uploaded to a web gallery via iPhoto actually run in a Web Gallery. If so, which format was it in?
(ANSWER/Workaround below.)
For me, My camera's MPEG1 Muxed, 640 x 480 pixels movies are copied to and list fine in iPhoto and are listed with an icon in a Web Gallery, but throws up an error message.
Movies exported to finder by iMovie 08 (.m4v, mpeg4 using H.264) is not even accepted as a valid format by iPhoto, so I can't say if it will run in the Web Gallery. Likewise, exporting a movie to the Media Browser does little, as iPhoto can't access the Media Browser. (Is that true? Am I missing something?)
Video encoded as MPEG4 Decompressor (libavcodec), 640 x 480, Millions AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz (.mp4) is accepted as a valid format and is uploaded to the Web Gallery. It is also played in Web Gallery.
So, Non-H.264 compressed mpeg4 movie clips will play in Web Gallery.

Web Gallery in non-Flash format?

Are there any extensions or anything to allow Bridge to Export a Web Gallery into a non-flash format? In my site I am trying to pay particular attention to accessibility and flash is inherently non-accessible, and also does not work with some of the most popular mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, iAnything). Essentially I am looking for some kind of HTML5 Web Gallery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there -
I'd try posting your question over in the Flash general forum. You could also try the Flash site design forum. The folks over there will probably be able to help you solve your issue

Web widgets -- .mac web gallery -- resize

I want to insert a web gallery widget on a page and I have successfully done so. But the display crops the image too much. I thought I could resize the display of the widget by grabbing and dragging one of the handles, but that doesn't work. Is there any way to resize the display of the widget? Would changing the size of the images in the web gallery make any difference?

Thanks -- I opened up the code in my "GoLive" application and found where the java script set the parameters. I've toyed with those until I got it to display most of what I want. I think part of the problem is the little "control" it inserts at the bottom to identify the album and give a little arrow button to link to the display -- that takes up some of the space. Anyway, got it to work a lot better.

Loupe Tool in Lightroom Web Gallery

I have created image galleries using the templates in LR3 for an artists website. She has asked me if it is possible to be able to zoom into the images to provide close up views. I am thinking a Loupe View tool would achieve this?
Does anyone know if a loupe tool can be added to a LR web template so when published, users could use this tool to view close up detail of images in the web gallery?
Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

In a HTML based page the fonts shown will always be dependent on the fonts installed on the end users computers. Whilst many LR galleries have the ability to select a font group that the respective end users machine may display by editing the page css style, I don't think the default html gallery that comes installed with LR has this.
If you want to make the change yourself you will need to recode the exported gallery files yourself. In the index file a line such as
body,td,th { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; } should do it

How to remove from .Mac Web Gallery

I must have accidentally deleted a project video from my Project Library in iMovie - because it is gone from the Project Library, but it still exists on my .Mac Web Gallery. Any ideas on how to delete it from my .Mac Web Gallery? I can't find it anywhere in the Project Library to "click on" to then go to Share, and Remove from Web Gallery -- because it's no longer in my Project Library for some reason. Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue... I was thinking you could navigate through the iDisk to delete it, but I'd love to see if there's a better solution.
Thanks.

Web Gallery missing some of iMovie clip

Hi
I've uploaded a 90gb video clip from iMovie to Web Gallery. Initially I selected all 3 sizes (Tiny, Mobile and Medium). I had a problem that not all of the clip would show in Web Gallery. I miss the last 1 minute or so.
I removed from Web Gallery and tried again, this time just the Mobile size. Same problem, the clip stops at the exact same point.
In iMovie, it works in full. Strange it's stopping at the same point in Web Gallery ?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Martin

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!

Web Gallery Link Missing

I have been busy posting my albums to the web gallery. I have noticed that some of them do not show the web link in iPhoto while the photos are in fact available on the web.
If I delete and re-add the gallery sometimes the link will then appear in iPhoto, sometimes it takes several deletes and re-adds before the link appears and sometimes it has never appeared.
I can still invite folks to view the web gallery but I cannot click on a link to jump to it myself from iPhoto.

SuperGreg:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go to the View->Show in Toolbar menu item and select Web Gallery (and any other button you might want in the toolbar that's no checked).
Do you Twango?
