MobileMe Gallery Address...

[iNash]

Hi all,

I have been searching for this for a few hours now, and hopefully someone here can help...

Is there anyway for me to hide my MobileMe Gallery URL (or replace it with another one)

For example, if I wanted people looking at my Gallery (linked from another webpage) to see: http://www.myURL.com instead of http://gallery.me.com/mynamehere

Cheers

not unless Apple allows it as an option in the same way it does for personal domains and the regular web space (web.me.com).

In Mobile Me, you can select the preferences and hide the album. However, then all the albums are hidden. The only way to share them is to send the unique web address that Mobile Me provides.

I noticed a friend has a gallery and there are maybe 12 albums. 3 of them you can see the pictures in them. The others have a little lock in the bottom right.

I would like to do that so I can show that there are multiple albums, but I control who can see what. I assume if it has a lock, there is a password protection.

I tried "hiding" my album and it just disappears from the gallery instead of doing what I want which is to leave it on the gallery page with a lock.

Can anyone shed any light? I have a Mac with ilife installed too as I wondered if that might be how it is done instead of via mobile me.

How exactly did you do it? I have GoDaddy and it allows me to forward domains.

If I set up "photos.jmclark.org" as a CNAME that points to @ and forward to http://gallery.me.com/j_m_clark, I get an Apache error that the request could not be completed and in addition there was a permissions error accessesing the 404-error document.

If I set it up as an A-record (using one of the IP addresses for gallery.me.com), the forwarding results in:

Invalid URL
The requested URL "/", is invalid.

Reference #9.17b302cc.1235487391.0


I know I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what.

Never mind. With GoDaddy it worked when I set it up as a sub-domain. I was using the domain forwarding for the entire domain and that is what wrong.

Could you elaborate on this? I have GoDaddy and am trying to point my domain name to my mobileme gallery and it is not working for me. Thanks

Do you want to point your whole domain (http://www.example.com) or a subdomain (photos.example.com)?

 

[jc1350]

I pointed just a sub-domain called photos to the Gallery URL.

ex: http://photos.jmclark.org

This allows my primary domain to function as desired. (http://www.jmclark.org can continue going to whatever host I specify, my personal domain email at gmail still functions, etc).

I'm trying to do the same exact thing, except point the mobileme gallery to my main domain name. I have godaddy as well. What settings do I use on godaddy? Regular forwarding doesn't seem to work.

Thanks
