FP2002: Photo Gallery May Not Show All Images

When you try to view a Photo Gallery object on the FrontPage Preview tab, or browse the page in your Web browser, you may not see all the images in the Photo Gallery. This symptom occurs if you view your FrontPage Web on any of the following:

• An Apache server-based Web
• A UNIX server-based Web.
• A FrontPage 98 disk-based Web.

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Change the Layout of the PhotoGallery

To change the layout of the Photo Gallery object:

1. In FrontPage, open the Web page that contains the Photo Gallery object.
2. Right-click the Photo Gallery object, and then click Photo Gallery Properties.
3. On the Layout tab, change to a different layout such as Montage Layout.

If you use horizontal layout, the number of pictures that is displayed may be limited to 45 images. If you use vertical layout, the number of pictures that is displayed may be limited to 37 images.

Method 2: Change the HTML Code for the Photo Gallery Web-Bot

1. Open the Web page that contains the Photo Gallery object in FrontPage.
2. On the HTML tab, find the PhotoAlbum Web-Bot. The Web-Bot should look similar to the following example:

   <!--webbot bot="PhotoAlbum" U-Include="photogallery/
   photo041/real.htm" clientside TAG="BODY"-->

3. Change the U-Include= path to the include the full http path of your Web so that it is similar to the following example

   <!--webbot bot="PhotoAlbum" U-Include="http://Servername/
   photogallery/photo041/real.htm" clientside TAG="BODY"-->

   where Servername is the URL address of your Web.

Method 3: Publish Your Web to a Windows 2000 Server with the FrontPage Server Extensions Installed

You can publish your Web to a Windows 2000 server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
