Add Facebook Comments to a Lightroom HTML Gallery template

If you prefer displaying your photos on your own website using Lightroom’s web galleries over uploading your photos to Facebook then one of the drawbacks is the lack of commenting. Fortunately, there’s a way to add Facebook Comments to your own website and gallery. See an example here. To implement this solution see the step by step tutorial:

Does anyone know if Lightroom templates are over-written when upgrading to a new version of Lightroom? It would be annoying to have to repeat these steps with each version upgrade.
Thanks.

Hi Jerfrank,
If you are looking outside of SharePoint, I would suggest you to check Facebook SDK to integrate with your site.
Here are few links to start with -
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/quickstart/
http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/social-media-roundups/15-simple-ways-to-integrate-facebook-into-your-website/
<cite>https://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com</cite>
https://developers.facebook.com/samples
https://www.facebook.com/leadingbyexample
And a bing search for "Facebook developer API" could also help you.
Hope this helps!

How do I create an Lightroom HTML Gallery and preserve the - in the file name?

How do I create an Lightroom HTML Gallery and preserve the - in the file name?
The hyphen (-) is more search engine friendly, so I label all my photos using hyphens (-) to separate the keywords in the file name
Here's a sample file name - it's for the "Guess Where Berkeley" flickr site
guess-where-berkeley-serkes-xx-s-curve.jpg
I created a Lightroom HTML Gallery and posted it to the following link.
http://www.berkeleyhomes.com/tests/lightroom/lightroom-test-1/
Though it looksl like the HML gallery shows the original file name in the web page, it looks like Adobe Lightroom modified each photo's file name by changing the - (hyphen) to an underscore (_)
Originally
guess-where-berkeley-serkes-xx-s-curve.jpg
After Adobe created the HTML photo gallery the name became
guess_where_berkeley_serkes_xx_s_curve.jpg
Is there any way to preserve the – rather than the _ character
Thank you!

InDesign's interactive PDF support is a small subset of what you can do in Acrobat Profesional.
I think you probably want to create a button (or change an existing button) in Acrobat Pro that causes Acrobat to close the document -- that should be analagous to "exitting the CD." I assume your autorun file is opening the PDF in Adobe Reader? You have not included it and are not specific, so it is tough to say.
I believe in Acrobat Javascript you can close the document with this.closeDoc(). You'll probaly need to ask on the Acrobat forums (possiby Acrobat Scripting) for more detail.

Lightroom HTML Gallery - interesting tidbit

While browsing through the transformer.xslt for the Lightroom HTML Gallery, I found a template that suggested interaction between Lightroom and the generated web gallery, specifically:
When you display a single image in the web module preview, the filmstrip will automatically highlight the respective image in Lightroom. Click enxt or previous, and the filmstrip will update.
Works really well, and is a nice touch for those using the original HTML gallery. Looking at the code, this will not exactly be easy to reproduce for others (like me) looking to code their own gallery...

CS6 Bridge web gallery - HTML Gallery template problem

In CS6 Bridge, a web gallery created with the HTML Gallery template puts the images in a directory with a path of content\bin\images. This prevents the images from being served from IIS - the bin directory is by default a "Hidden segment". There is no need for the directory hierarchy generated to use the name "bin".
I know how to work around the issue, but it would be better if the issue was not present in the first place. I tried to report it as a problem on photoshop.com, but was unable to login.
How do I report this problem to Adobe?

(Me again, my previous Adobe ID broke). We don't have Dreamweaver, and the users who create and upload web galleries would not be able to use such tools (or a text editor which works on several files at the same time). My workaround is to have a directory dedicated to their web galleries using a web.config file of
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <hiddenSegments>
                    <remove segment="bin" />
                </hiddenSegments>
            </requestFiltering>
        </security>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
So that the HTML web galleries' "bin" sub-directories are accessible.

Adding Facebook comments to your Lightroom 3 web gallery

Dear all,
I'm currently in the process of posting a web gallery into a Wordpress website.
I wish for the ability to add facebook coments beneith the picutes.
This hasn't been a straight forward task.
After following the instructions from Omri Tintpulves page I am still at a loss to make it work for me.
Is there someone out there that knows how it is at all possiable... and if so could they point me in the right direction.
Kind regards
Stu

Replying to myself.... I solved the problem by creating a new User Account in my OS. Solved the Lightroom problem and also a problem with Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, where it wouldn't open Bridge.

Lightroom HTML Gallery on Behance

I'd love to be able to upload a Lightroom HTML (style) gallery to Behance. Does anyone know of a way to do so? I'm really hoping an Adobe person sees this and adds it to the list of things to put in future updates.

Lightroom HTML Gallery paths

System = PC, Version = 1.4.1
When uploading an HTML Gallery, the sequence of folders used to hold the images includes a folder called 'bin'. In IIS7, it would be required to create a 'HiddenSegement' section in the site's web.config file in order to allow browsers to view files who's full URL includes that folder name, such as the images.
The problem with allowing this is that IIS7 would then allow all folders like 'bin' to be viewed, which isn't what I'd prefer. Also, having to manually modify web.config might not be straightforward for all users.
Would it be possible to allow the paths used by the HTML Gallery upload to be customized, so that they don't include 'bin'?
Thanks,
Simon

You could edit the gallery. There's a wealth of info in the new SDK on web.

Web: Adjust Lightroom HTML Gallery

Hi all,
LR's web engine "HTML Gallery" works almost perfect for me. Only two things I'd like to change is size of the thumbnails and remove the navigation buttons on the large picture pages.
Could anyone pass me a hint if this is possible / how it could be done?
Thanks!!

Modifying Lightroom Flash Gallery Templates

I have created a Photo Gallery using Lightroom Flash Gallery in Bridge CS5 and have integrated it into a web site so far so good.
I would like to replace the file name shown under the image with the Image Title from the Metadata and not to show the Title Bar.
Does anyone know if other Templates are available that may do this?
Otherwise is it possible to make changes to the existing templates?
I have located the existing templates in the resources folder but have not figured out how to make the changes I want.
Advice and guidance welcomed.
Thanks
Derek

I have answered my own question, simple when you find where in the code it is done.

Keep CS5 HTML "lightroom" web gallery template from renaming files...

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to an arbitrary number. The caption reads as the original file name, but the actual image has a new name. This is problematic, as my clients will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
As an example: VLNK0321.jpg is renamed as _4856316150.jpg. (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
Is there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem? Can the script be altered to keep the original file name, not the ten-digit arbitrary number that it currently generates?
Thanks for any help offered!

I believe I've discovered the file/script that does the renaming. I've done some testing, and have been able to change the way Bridge does the changes, but not able to keep the original file name.
The file is "galleryCreator.jsxinc", found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts.
I'm not a code-guy, so I'm hoping that someone with more smarts than I can help. Below is the part of "galleryCreator.jsxinc" that does the re-naming. Simply deleting this entire part of the script renders Bridge unusable. So allowing the script to create the altername is important. If the alteration could consist of only adding the "underscore" prefix to the original file name, all would be well...
Here's the pertient portion of the script:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
        alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
            alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
        alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
    return alteredName;
I will send a check for $200 to the first person who can rewrite this to simply add the underscore first, then return the original file name instead of the random number generator, and make it work. Anyone?

Problem with Lightroom-HTML-Gallery

Hi Adobe-Team, I like your gallery in Lightroom 3 but there is one problem! If I write the title to the photos, google can't read it - so it is not possible to find the photos in the internet! Google seems to read the words above the photo. So it thinks the title is "zurück - Index - weiter" (in German) or in english "back index next". Could you add the possibility to write the title of the photo next to the upper side of the photo? Would be phantastic!! it would be also nice to get the possibility to switch the language of the "back - index - forward" Best wishes, ralph

Please be clear enough...your problem was? I suggest just drop the porn lol...

Embedding Lightroom HTML gallery with Dreamweaver

I'm new to Dreamweaver and have used it to build a portfolio website. I've created HTML image galleries using Lightroom and would like to integrate these galleries into my existing page design. Lightroom generates an Index file, as well as Context and Resources folders. I've seen an earlier discussion about using LR to upload the galleries to my host, then edit the HTML to link the gallery pages to my other web pages. This strikes me as cumbersome for two products made by a single company.
What I'm after is a clear answer about if I can embed these HTML galleries quickly and easily into my existing page design? My other solution is to use the Airtight SimpleViewer gallery, but since it's using Flash, my galleries won't work on Apple mobile devices.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and Lightroom 3.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can't edit a flash gallery with Dreamweaver.
To make changes to the LR flash gallery you would require a copy of the original fla file and a copy of Flash to edit it.
The index file you see is the one that loads the flash player to play your gallery. The message is what is seen in a browser that doesn't have flash player installed.
You can make amendments to the gallery itself by changing the xml files, although the changes you can make here can also be made in LR itself so why bother?
You can embed the gallery itself in your own html page. Using insert, media and then finding the gallery.swf file. As long as you then upload everything in the correct locations (including the scrippt files abd the new html file in the same folder structure it will work.
There are other flash galleries that are far easier to embed available. However in order to make serious changes to flash galleries of any type you will require the original fla file and most designers are not going to give you that! Adobe does give away the fla's for the galleries that ship with PS.

Anyone know how to add a hyperlink to the HTML Gallery template?

In previous versions, I created a modified HTML template which included a link back to a specific page. This placed the link on ALL of the Index pages. Now I must modify HUNDREDS of indices to accomplish the same thing. There has GOT to be a better way!

With iOS 5 in the Autumn (from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more) :
Even add and delete mailbox folders on the fly.

Can I get Google to correctly show a Lightroom Weg gallery template?

Hello out there.
I have a web domain and have created a web gallery in Lightroom to use as a toe in the water website. Unfortunately google is only picking up an xml file rather than the whole site and therefore it cannot be viewed completely in google. I have registered the domain name with google and other search engines. My site can be viewed perfectly by using the generic search bar.
Does anybody know if it is just a matter of time before google picks it up properly or am I doomed to enlist the services of a web designer?
Hope you can help me!
John

You will need to turn off the instant search feature first. That setting is towards the bottom of the preferences page. Save that change first, then go back into the preferences and set it to 100 results.

Disappearing Lightroom web gallery photos

I'm using a Mac, Lightroom 3 uploading to a host monster.com server. the Lightroom HTML gallery displays fine when exported and opened offline but when uploaded to my server, backgrounds and navigation and cells appear fine but all the photos appear to be missing. the source code appears to have the correct path. When I've seen this question earlier users suggest that the photos are being put in a bin file but mine look to be in the correct path on the server. Other users suggest changing code in some Lightroom files perhaps using the SDK but I can't find the files they suggest changing (I think they might have been on pcs instead of macs). Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a link to the page
http://www.rocklandbaptist.mnsherwood.com/
I teach photography and was practicing using Lightroom this summer so I could have my students make websites of their photos but this is disappointing and frustrating. We purchased Lightroom 3 about 2 months before Lightroom 4 came out but I don't think we'll have funding for another upgrade this fall.

Host monster tech support found the problem. they are the greatest bar none with their tech support.
It appears that the rewrite conditions in your public_html/.htacces file is preventing the images from being displayed on http://www.rocklandbaptist.mnsherwood.com
I renamed the file to .htaccess.old and added the following code.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://rocklandbaptist.mnsherwood.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.rocklandbaptist.mnsherwood.com/.*$ [NC]
The images are now viewable. You will need to add the same code to the .htaccess file for each subdomain that you create, otherwise the images will be block from being displayed.
Guess it wasn't a Lightroom issue
