 Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2005 8:31 am Post subject: Gallery Slideshow image size problem |
 |
|
I am attempting to use the CS2 Web Gallery feature to create a slideshow but I am having a strange problem with the image sizing.
When I upload it to my website (using Frontpage) and then display the site, all images take the size of the first in the show (and thus are distorted).
I've created a reduced down sample of this problem. Have a look at
http://www.bsartist.com/CS2/CS2SlideShow . Instead of the second photo being larger and in portrait mode, it's scrunched down to the size and format of the first.
When I use a simple non-slideshow template, this problem does not exist. Have a look at the same photos in a simpler photoshop generated gallery:

Any help would be appreciated. I've been going bonkers trying to troubleshoot this.

Photoshop CS2 web photo gallery generates a bunch of html pages - one for each image. These pages would appear to have what it takes to display each slide in a slide show. They have tables with the image, captions etc.
However, for a SLIDESHOW type gallery, it appears as though all but one of these never get used. Presumably they do get referenced from within a NON slideshow gallery (eg. simple horizontal). But the slideshow gallery is all javascript based. Essentially, the index page seems to hold a couple of iframes, one of which points to the FIRST of the html pages described above (corresponding to the first image in the show). The other iframe has the thumbnails.
As the slideshow is advanced, the remaining HTML pages for the other images are never referenced. Instead, the javascript simply replaced the image within the top frame (the frame that contains the HTML from the FIRST image).
Note, that the HTML page for each of the images, is NOT created with image size tags. However, when I uploaded them to my website, they suddenly had image size tags. Now, the image size tags in all those pages were actually OK in that they reflected the proper size of each image. But I didn't realize till later what I described above about those files never getting referenced. So essentially, the image size in the top frame was constantly nailed at the size of the first image.
When I tried to remove the tags, they kept coming back. Seems that Frontpage is relentless in adding image size tags - even when you uncheck "specify image size" in the image properties. I eventually found a reference for how to force Frontpage to LEAVE MY HTML ALONE!
I had to wrap the <IMG> tag like so:
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan --><img name="theImage" src="../images/IMG_2947.jpg" border="0" alt="IMG_2947"><!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->
(note the conspicuous ABSENCE of any image size tags!)
Of course, this is just showing the resultant html generated by the gallery. In order to make this happen automatically every time, I had to modify the gallery template in the presets directory. I forget the name of the one I changed but it's the one that generates all the HTML files for the images.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :-)
