Windows Firefox 3.0 breaks iWeb 08 Photo Galleries

The latest update to the Windows version of Firefox, 3.0, broke the photo galleries in all of my iWeb created sites. Found this script patch at Mac Update....
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27819/fix-iweb-and-firefox-3
...which claims to restore those features (photo gallery, slide shows, blog comments) but it didn't work for me. Downloaded the script and installed it and republished several sites but you still can't see the photos in Firefox 3 (Windows Internet Explorer sees them fine.)
Mozilla is going to put out 3.1 which will supposedly fix the problem, but not until next year. sigh.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Have you tried the above patch and found it to work? Or is there another fix out there to resolve this?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Well, now you know as much about it as I do. You might post in one of Wyodor's threads and ask him. I just kind of got what he developed or found and regurgitated it.
Did you also do the editing of the iWPopUpSlideshow.css and iWPopUpSlideshow.js files inside the iWeb application. What you do is edit each file and change all occurrences of mac.com to me.com.
The js file would be located in the Scripts folder inside iWeb and the css file is in the Media folder if I remember right. You might give that a try and republish (if you haven't already done that fix).
Doesn't matter whether Tiger or Leopard.

IWeb Photo galleries not appearing in latest Firefox

Anyone else notice that the latest Firefox won't show the iweb photo galleries?
They do show up in IE and safari, but not firefox. I've tested on all 3 browsers on both Mac and PC (well, not IE for mac, cause it doesn't exist anymore)
here is the url to the photo page. http://www.pgbond.com/Site/Concert_Photos.html
if you have multiple browsers, give it a try and let me know.

Phil,
I had a similar problem last week - even Safari was not working with the Gallery for a while. Then Safari started working, but not Firefox. Old Toad had gone through different things with me to no avail. I got onto Apple live Chat and someone talked me through clearing the cache and cookies. And that got the gallery working. But a couple of days later, the Firefox stopped working again - but back working within a few hours. I tried your page and the message said that the pages could not be found. When mine was down, I was getting a message saying that my browser did not support this gallery, but the message had a copyright of 2007 and it referred to an old Mac OS (Tiger) and old Firefox. So it looked like that was an old message. Touch wood - Firefox has been working now for several days. So try clearing the cache and see if that helps.

IWeb photo galleries cause Internet Explorer to crash

Please help! I am a novice as far as web design goes and have spent a long time getting my site up and going. It works perfectly on Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc but when using Internet explorer the photo galleries cause the browser to crash/freeze.
If you leave it for approximately 5 minutes sometimes it starts working again.
My website is www.hboydwatercolours.co.uk
Any help would be very much appreciated.

ps i am using *iweb 3.0.2*

IWeb Photo Galleries not showing up

Hi,
I am having a few problems with my website...
www.jonnyback.com
It does not display all the photo galleries on both mac and PCs but mostly failing on PCs.
Can you help?
The portfolio page is the main issue.
Thank you,
Jonny

Jonny:
I'm having problems with that page using Safari 4. When i first go to it I see 4 galleries. But if I visit a gallery and then go back to the index I only get two displayed. And which two changes depending on which gallery I'm coming from.
Have you used an HTML snippet to remove the slideshow option from the gallery? Just a quess but that may be what is causing problems both for me and for PCs.

IWeb Photo Galleries

Hey Guys
I want to create a flash photo gallery using the automate function in Photoshop and then copy the script into an HTML snippet somewhere on one of my iWeb pages...
...possible?
...any help appreciated.

Put your flash photo gallery folder on the server.
Open it in a browser window to check that it displays as intended.
Then copy the URL and paste it in the HTML Snippet with an <iframe>
<iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
If you use a script or code and want to paste that in the HTML Snippet, then make sure the path to the files are correct.
Anything you paste in the HTML snippet is your responsibilty. iWeb happily publishes it whether it works or not.

Linking non-iWeb photo galleries

I have been building flash web galleries with such programs as Lightroom and Slideshow Pro. They are easy to add to a GoLive site, but I haven't figured out how to do this with iWeb. I can upload them to a server and link to them as external links, but I can't find a way to integrate them as part of the iWeb site so it can all be uploaded together as I do with GoLive. What am I missing, or is it a limitation of iWeb?
Thanks,
Peter

If you were publishing to .mac and using iphoto web galleries you would have the option to insert from the iweb menu.
Other than that I believe you would have to upload and link.
good luck

IWeb photo gallery comparison with PicasaWeb

How iWeb Photo Galleries are compared to say, PicasaWeb Albums ? or even PBase or Shutterfly ?
In terms of attractive visual presentation?
Worth investing $100?
Thanks!

You are missing a number of files from your website. You can see which are missing by bringing up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) while viewing the Places page in Safari and looking at the list of files in the window.
How are you publishing the site? With iWeb? If so then try using the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option to see if that will force those missing files to be uploaded.
If that doesn't work you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client, like the free Cyberduck, to upload the site files. If you have to continue to use Cyberduck this tutorial may help: #2 - Uploading Only Those Newly Published or Edited Files When Using a 3rd Party FTP Client.

Flash based photo galleries won't play

Photos on my website have stopped working, The website was built using NetObjects Fusion XII on Windows 7 (64 bit) and the photo galleries use shockwaveflash. I have checked the addons and plugins and everything is up to date. I have re-installed flashplayer - no change! The website works perfectly with other browsers eg Chrome, IE9 but NOT with firefox! Why??

Do other visitors confirm this?
Does the content loaded via Flash require a referrer (i.e, is it protected)?
Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and check on the Network tab if any content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Websites with flash photo galleries do not display photos in firefox.

I manage several websites that use the 'expose' photo gallery. Expose uses flash to display photos in the photo galleries. When you go to one of these web sites and click on the photo gallery link, the photos are not displayed, the page shows the gallery buttons but no photos. Using Internet Explorer or Chrome browsers, the photo galleries work fine. Here are 3 web sites to view;
www.wishardgallery.com - click on photo gallery
www.applemanart.com - click on art gallery
www.jewelimages.com - click on any of the gallery links on the left menu
Do the same with IE or Chrome to see the photos displayed.

Some galleries are displayed via JavaScript, so if they aren't working the make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).<br />
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

How to get MobileMe photo galleries into iWeb or from Aperture?

I currenlty use MobileMe for an iWeb published site, on which I have a link to a several dozen photo galleries, all pub;ished from Aperture. iPhoto has an iWeb "button", but Aperture does not so far as I can see. I am trying to find the easiest way to keep all of my stuff intact once MM dies next year. How can I migrate, not link, my MM photo galleries into iWeb, and/or publish them from Aperture into iWeb? Once I have the photo galleries as part of iWeb, then I'll be able to use it to publish to another web hosting service. Thanks!

Do you have the original image files used to make up those MMe Galleries? If so you can group them into albums in iPhoto and use the iWeb Album page or Photos page and ignore the MMe galleries.
If the files are in Aperture and there's no Aperture section in iWeb's Media Browser you will have to export those files out of Aperture as originals and drag them either into iPhoto or into an iWeb photos page. I don't use Aperture so an unsure of what can be done between Aperture and iWeb.
If those galleries are the only copy of the photos you have you'll need to download the file (if the gallery allows it) and import into iPhoto before going into iWeb.

Photos missing from photo galleries in iWeb 08

I currently have a very big problem with iWeb 08:
after opening & converting the existing domain, and saving, upon re-opening the domain, all photos from the photo galleries are missing. The page is literally empty except for the space holder, not even the menu bar etc. is there.
All other pages are ok, it's just the photo galleries that have been corrupted.
I had saved the old domain, and retried it, it happened also on the second attempt.

I've been doing some experimenting on a copy of a backup I had of my domain files (THANK GOODNESS--be sure YOU have one too!), and I may have resolved my issues:
1. This time, I made sure to put the Domain file in the preferred iWeb location ( i.e. <my user account>/Library/Application Support/iWeb--it wasn't there on my first try (I had it in a different folder location).
2. I double-clicked the Domain file to launch iWeb, which then went through the entire upgrade of the file process again. It took quite a while (20+ minutes), but finished without any errors.
3. I spot checked the photo album pages by clicking to look at them--they had returned!
4. I immediately SAVED and closed out of iWeb.
Now going back into iWeb, evertyhing seems to be functioning normally. I've even made some layout changes to some of the album pages, saved and no problems. I've also applied different templates to other pages (not brave enough to try that on my albums yet!) and that seems to work.
Also, I've not been brave enough to actually PUBLISH yet, but am getting close...
I would, however, still like to see an explanation and official reslution for this problem posted here. This has caused me a great deal of pain, angst and consternation, but I think I'm ok for the moment.

Is ilife any good at publishing simple photo galleries like iWeb/ mobile me used to be?

is ilife any good at publishing simple photo galleries like iWeb/ mobile me used to be?

As Roddy pointed out iWeb will still create album and/or photo pages that will work on the hosting server of your choice. These two pages are demos of that: Using an iWeb Album Page as an Alternative to MobileMe Galleries and Using an iWeb Photo Page as an Alternate to a MobileMe Gallery

IWeb Photo Gallery widget

On one of my website pages, I have several widgets with photo galleries. They all worked fine for a couple of months. Now, when working in iWeb, the first widget shows the slide show of my photos but has a flashing white square in the middle of it. The rest of the widgets are black with the flashing white square in the middle. I have tried deleting and then reloading the widgets, and the problem remains.
When I view this web page on Safari, the first widget works perfectly. The rest remain black.
When I view this web page on Firefox or Internet Explorer, all the widgets work perfectly.
Can anyone tell me a fix for this problem?

cynthia:
Go into your User/Library/Caches folder and empty the iWeb folder. Launch iWeb and give it another go. If that doesn't help boot into Safe Mode and try iWeb again. If iWeb works OK then there's a problem with some of the system and/or 3rd party extensions, etc. If iWeb still misbehaves a reinstall of iWeb might be warranted. If you get to that point you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Then reinstall from the disk it came on and apply any iWeb updaters that you can download from Apple Downloads page.

Problems with Multiple Photo Galleries

Hey all, I am having issues with multiple photo galleries. The problem is, iWeb will randomly delete old photo libraries when new ones are made.
My workflow is each blog entry has its own Photo Library attached to it, so i really would love to be able to keep this functionality.
Does anyone have any clues as to why they are getting deleted? They literally just vanish from the entries in iWeb...
Many thanks, Matt

Each blog entry has a iweb photo gallery attached to it. I create these by duplicating a previous blog entry, and changing the details as well as the photos contained inside.
Matt ~ Even without adding such complexity, many people have problems with their iWeb blog. So even if someone helps you to solve this problem, you may then be back with a different iWeb blog problem: Lost all your blog entries or all your comments or unable to publish, etc.
mattperrott wrote:
Any thoughts on why this might happen?
The simple answer is that Apple's implementation of iWeb's blog appears to be buggy. Every day on these forums you'll likely see a couple of problems with iWeb's blog, often "solved" like this: +"I deleted my blog page, and was able to successfully publish the site"+. Also, if you ever have to re-publish everything (say, after upgrading iWeb) you'll wish you had a web-based blog.
mattperrott wrote:
This isnt a problem currently but if i ever need to republish my entire site it is a potential killer, especially as it grows...
The person who posted the following thread had similar concerns saying: +"...I get the feeling when this gets bigger, it'll outgrow iWeb's capability."+ Read his solution here:
_To blog or not to blog_
And to link to an external blog from iWeb's navbar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (Actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
By the way, rather than posting your URL in these forums like this:
www.local-hero.com.au
...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:
http://www.local-hero.com.au
