Thanks Joe for pointing this out. I’ve sent in inquiry to BananAlbum about the issue. I’ll post the response.

It doesn’t look like the iFrame causes the problem, here’s the page in the iFrame and it displays the same behavior:

I would contact Adobe? or whoever it is makes the Bananlbum to find out what could be causing the problem.

Cheers,

With reference to the newsletter I can’t get the Flash Album Exporter to install. I have followed the instructions to the letter, but the new tab as described in the instructions to allow me to create the folder to put on the FTP will not show up in iPhoto.

Does Flash Album Exporter work with Leopard?

Not sure why my previous post ended in this topic, I was replying to Steve Curran’s question about a photo gallery freewaytalk.net/thread/view/28000#latest

Just received this in the Softpress email newsletter. I used the same technique described below for my 13 year old son’s photography portfolio lucaventer.com/

Freeway Tricks - Embedding a photo gallery from Aperture or iPhoto into a Freeway page Are you an Aperture or iPhoto user? Do you want to embed rich media galleries into your Freeway page? If so, the secret is iFrames.

iFrames are a standard web convention which allow you to embed a webpage into another page. Read more about them at wikipedia. They’re fairly easy to set up and there’s a Freeway Action to make it even easier. Get the Action here. www.softpress.com/kb/article.php?id=196

Next, make and post your slideshow. From Aperture or iPhoto, create an album of images you’d like to use or select one you already have. There’s no limit to the number of images you can use, so have at it! Using the free Flash Album Exporter flashalbumexporter.home.comcast.net, export your album to a folder. Next, simply upload this to your web server using an FTP client (we love Transmit, but anything will work here). Be sure to make a note of the URL for the gallery you’ve just created (for example - mywebserver.com/gallery/).

Back in Freeway, choose a blank area in your page for the gallery. Choose Insert>Action Item>iFrame. Make the box as big as you like, then select the Action Inspector from the Window menu. Enter the URL for your gallery, customize the display settings, and publish your site. That’s it!

Hi Walter … I went for the simplest route, by simply changing the colour of the buttons according to the page. But I think you’re right. It definitely aids navigation.

Since there’s no practical connection between the iFrame and the rest of your page, the easiest way to manage this would be to use a Rollover in Click mode. The two events (click here and particular page load in iFrame) would be synchronized, but not driven by one another.

You could also use this same Rollover to make the navigation “flutter” when you mouse over it, so it looks more active. I would set the button to roll over to a slightly lighter-color version of itself, and then to Click to the orange state.

The more precise way to do this would be to set a JavaScript observer on the iFrame, and then change the current navigation tab when the source of the iFrame changes. But that’s quite a lot of fiddling for very little incremental improvement.

Hi Walter,

no … it’s not, but now I see why you would think so. It was intended as a simple way of highlighting my most recent work. However, now that you mention it, that would be quite nice to have. Any tips on the absolute simplest way of doing it, with the least performance hit? :)

Sorry about enticing your tummy to grow. :)

It looks really good. Does nothing useful for my diet, though. One question — the orange stripe at the top of the navigation — is that meant to move along to show which of the galleries you are viewing? I thought it might, but then it didn’t.

Man, do I miss food photography!

iFrame

grantsymon — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 01:05:44 -500

Hi,

I would like to integrate several jalbums, specifically bananalbums into my site. I understand that this can be done with an iFrame (I’ve no idea what that is, but I’m happy to find out). I’ve seen that Paul Dunning produced an Action for iFrame, but I can’t find the action itself anywhere on the web. Has it become outdated? Perhaps there’s a better way of doing it now? I’m running FW 4.4.

The developer of the bananalbum says this about embedding :

Embed a BananAlbum in your site. · 19.10.06

Here’s a nice tutorial about embedding a BananAlbum in your site. It can be done very easily by using an IFRAME.

For example; Your album is located at www.yourdomain.com/album, the piece of html-code you’ll have to put in your page is: IFRAME SRC=”http://www.yourdomain.com/album” WIDTH=424 HEIGHT=350 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=no>

Is this something that I could do easily with FW?

Any help/pointers, much appreciated. :)
