Additional Web Gallery Options Needed

I know that LR is not meant to substitute for a real web design application. However, it is intended to provide the ability to build photo galleries of photographers work for actual real world use. And as such, I find one thing about it that makes it rather limiting and somewhat defeats the point. I don't think most photogs who will use LR routinely are going to want to make one massive web gallery covering their whole body of ongoing work. It seems to me that many would be like me and want to create a collection of galleries that cover specific types of work, specific events, locations etc. While I may be wrong about how many would like that I am asure there are enough to justify even a small tweak to the Web Gallery capabilities of LR.
One tweak that would thrill me is to have just a bit more control and ability to add links to the galleries I build in LR. Again, I don't need nor request the ability to build large involved websites. But it would be wonderful and very helpful to have the option of adding maybe one or two customizable links that would aid in tying a collection of web galleries together. Even if I couldn't build a main home page in LR whose only finction is to provide a base to launch a library of galleries, it would be great if I could tag a link onto my galleries that would like back to a page I build elsewhere, or even to link a collection of LR galleries together. Just a simple url tag that sends a viewer back to a home page, or to a different gallery.

The bluefire_gallery as mentioned is the Flash Gallery. Here is lines 444 to 450 in the galleryMaker.xml file <mx:VBox ag:style="content_column"> <mx:HBox> <mx:Label text="$$$/WPG/Templates/BlueFire/ContactInfo=Contact Info"/> <ag:mruPopup value="contactInfoName"/> </mx:HBox> <mx:TextInput ag:maximumLength='150' ag:resizeToFitTextHeight="true" id="contactInfoName" ag:layout="text_color=AgPanel.bright_text_color,"/> </mx:VBox> Change where it says 150 to 250 in line 449 (or 300 even if you need more characters) Then add your links to the Contact Info box. Leave Web or Mail Link blank. See screen cap to see it in action <img src="http://seanmcfoto.com/lightroom/image/web.jpg">

Plans for Additional Web Gallery Options?

Does anybody know if Adobe plans to add different web galleries to the preset choices in the future? Or if they will become available as plug-ins from third parties, or something?
Just curious. I like some of the galleries available now, but more options would be fun for those of us not up to editing the code. :-)

Kewl. The LR galleries are definitely an improvement over pbase (at least the way I have it set up). This will be a really powerful tool for us web novices who still want to have nice customized galleries. Right now, alot of us just have the same nice customized galleries! :-)

Can't get "Send to web gallery" option to work on the iPhone.

I have been trying to get the "Send to web gallery button" to work on my iPhone for a few weeks now. I managed to get it to work once. I was directed to delete the gallery on iPhoto ’08 and then recreate it and make sure my iPhone was not connected to wifi and wait 1 hour, it worked once… Then never again.
I have an ongoing case open with Apple Care but there does not seem to be any definitive answer on how to get the option to work properly. One representative says that it should word fine, the other says that that feature was disabled in the last patch, (I had it working once under the current iPhone version 1.0.2 so I knew he was misinformed) I followed this Apple document and am still unable to get the feature to work: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306272
The Apple Care representative told me that the official Apple doc listed above was incorrect and that there was a better way to get the gallery to work and directed me to a Mac World Mac 911 article to resolve the issue http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2007/08/iphonetowebgallery/index.php
I insisted that this was a work around and that the actual “send to web gallery” button should display on the iPhone the Apple Care representative told me that I was incorrect and that the Mac 911 article was the only way to get the option to work.
I actually met and spoke with the author Christopher Breen last weekend, and he agreed that this was a “work around” and that the "send to web gallery option on the iPhone should work. All I had to do was insure that I had my dot Mac account set up on the iPhone, iPhoto ’08 installed, a web gallery created in iPhoto and the option “Allow photo uploading by email” checked and published and all should be good in the world. Unfortunately, I just can’t seem to get it to work?
I am not trying to “bash” Apple I would just like to get this option to work properly. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get this option to work?

It seems to be an ongoing issue the last couple of days..there's a few posts already discussing it in the forum. I found that if I sent the photos from my verizon acct on the iphone, it uploaded to the gallery fine..so it's a .mac account problem i think. Try it through another acct and I don't think you'll have a problem. It had always worked fine for me sending from my mac account until this weekend.

What is the web gallery option good for...

what is the web gallery option good for if it doesnt work on any other computer, other than mine? If i choose save "online" where do i find ftp server ? and what type of sites does this work on?

Saving collections and I suppose web gallery (although I have neverf used it) is really just a reference to file locations on your computer. So it will not work for any other computer that is not exactly like yours.

Editing Web Gallery options and Cmd-I

When I created a web gallery I did not check the option "Allow photo uploading by email". Now that the gallery is up, I'd like to enable that option but I can't figure out how to do it. The only way I've found to do it is to just republish the event as a new web gallery. That's not ideal.
I went to the gallery's web page but couldn't find a way modify any options there either. Am I missing something or is the only way to change that option is to delete and recreate the web gallery? If I do that then any links I have sent out to other people becomes invalid as a new URL is created.
I also noticed that the "Smart Album Info..." (Cmd-I) menu option is active under Photos in the menu bar, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Chip

Choose the Web Gallery in the source list on the left, and click the Settings button in the toolbar. You'll be able to change settings there, including allowing photo uploading by email. Even though the button says Publish, it will simply update the settings for that web gallery.

Web Gallery Options Request

I hope that in the updated version the user can make galleries with presized and optimized JPGs. I enjoy making web galleries with Lightroom but often like to do my web optimization in Photoshop. At this point it appears that if I create a folder full of web images, the only way to create a gallery in LR is to allow it to resave them all over again. There is no option to leave them as they are.
Hope that makes sense.
Linda

Not as yet. Though check out
Paypal in Lightroom Galleries.
There are people working away at alternative templates, but have not seen one like what you want, yet.

More Customized Web Gallery Options

I'd like to see the ability to customize the flash galleries and add the ability to choose whether to allow right-click downloads of the images. I see the option is available in only a few templates. Also, a way to set a custom slideshow as the new default. Keeps reverting back to the original default slideshow.
Thanks.

I'm just going to upgrade to the new Aperture - hopefully that'll sort it..

Descriptions in Web Gallery

Hi,
I've recently updraded to iPhoto8 and am trying to get used to the new Web Gallery way of sharing photos (used to use HomePage). Is there any way of showing a description of the photos?!! It's a bit hopeless to try and fit in the description in the titles, which is the only thing I've managed to show so far. Also; does anyone know if the settings for a gallery (such as viewing or not viewing titles) can be changed once the photos have been published? Or do I really have to remove the gallery and then re-publish them with the different setting?
If I decide that the Web Gallery option of sharing photos is not good enough, could anyone explain quickly how I most easily publish a set of photos on my mac HomePage instead? There used to be a button i iPhoto, but it's now removed.
Thankful for some help!!

Olga:
There is a way to do that by entering the descriptions in the description field and then use an Applescript to move the description to the Title field. Then when you need the file names back you can use the Photos->Batch Change menu option to reset the file names as the title. You can get the Applescript at An AppleScript to copy iPhoto Description to Name. Be sure to read the comments as there is one error in the script that you need to fix but it's easy, just remove the once occurrence of Â.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Web Gallery, previous/ next not working consistently

First time I've seen this: next and previously are not working good. Some work in the gallery, some don't.
Reboot Firefox, some different ones work, some dont. It's worrisome. I'm sending this to people- any tips?

.Mac email can be set up two different ways on the iPhone. For "Send to Web Gallery" button to appear when clicking on the action button while viewing a photo, you must have your .Mac email set up as IMAP. This is the default setup for a .Mac email account.
If you take the time to manually set up your .Mac email as POP, then you will not have the "Send to Web Gallery" option and you will be unable to successfully email into your web gallery even if all else is set up correctly.
To check to see how you have .Mac email set up on your iPhone, go to the Home Screen, tap Settings, tap Mail, tap your .Mac account name, tap Advanced, move down on the page, and make sure you see "IMAP Path Prefix" setting (it can be blank and does not need to be changed). If the "IMAP Path Prefix" is there, then you do indeed have your .Mac email set up as IMAP on your iPhone.
If you do have it set up as a POP account, you can delete that mail account by selecting the red Delete Account button when viewing your email account as listed in Settings.
To add your .Mac email account as an IMAP account, from the Home Screen, tap Settings, tap Mail, tap Add Account..., tap .Mac, and fill out the fields with your information, tap Save and it will verify access to your .Mac email account.

Customizing Bridge CS4 Web Gallery to fit my website

Love the improved web gallery option in Bridge CS4...is there a way that I can make it work within my existing website? I'd like to have my top logo graphic and navigation bar appear above the gallery on the same page so that it integrates well.
Thanks!
Mark

Thanks...I figured out that if I open the Index.htm page in my web site editor (MSFT Expression Web) and add the images for the logo and nav bar at the top of the page, the code adjusts to move the gallery down. That's all I need to make it work...

Web Gallery and iPhone Not Working

I'm getting the following message when attempting to use the "send to web gallery" button:
"None of your .Mac accounts have been configured for posting from mobile devices. You must first enable this feature on the .Mac website."
Others have been experiencing this as well, but I have yet to hear a solution.
I have my .mac email account associated with my iPhone and I have created a Web Gallery via .Mac using iPhoto '08.
Has anyone got this button to work successfully on their iPhone?

Error when posting to Web Gallery

I am getting an error that says "request to the server failed" whn attempting to use the web gallery option?
Message was edited by: tropaz

Today I had that same problem with iWeb and iPhoto. Mound your iDisk, go to the Web/Sites folder and see if you can manually add a file to that folder. Any file will do. I was getting the following message:
This tells me it's a server issue and not iPhoto or iWeb issue. I waited a while and tried republishing and it went thru. Very strange. I reported it so hopefully Apple can look into their servers to see what's causing it.
Do you Twango?

No image Metadata when outputting from Bridge Web Gallery (CS4)

I use the Web Gallery option within the Output module in CS4 Bridge to process my photos to the image size I want for uploading to flickr. However all the metadata data gets stripped out.
Is there an option I am missing to retain metadata?
Of course I can add back in any IPTC data I want, but I should not have to do that more than once, what I am really annoyed over is the Camera Data (EXIF) is gone.
Software Details:
CS4 Bridge (3.0.0.464)
Output Module
Web Gallery (Standard or HTML Gallery)
Mac OSX 10.5.7

Look into the Image Processor in Bridge or, better yet, install Dr. Brown's Services 2.0.2, a free, brilliant set of scripts by the same author as the Image Processor, Russell Brown. It's like the Image Processor on steroids.

Web Gallery and iWeb

There is a template in iWeb for albums, but not one for iPhoto Web Galleries. You can use the insert .mac web gallery option to get a web gallery onto a page, but is there a way to use the cool album template instead?
It seems so odd that there isn't better integration between Web Galleries and iWeb templates.

Yeah, I'm noticing this, too. Seems a bit of crap work, if you ask me.
I'm kind of unimpressed with the new iWeb. A few "widgets" isn't really all that neat, and I'm shocked they didn't include some sort of iphone theme (like a theme best viewed on an iphone.)
But this gallery thing is the most irritating.

Editing Bridge HTML Web Gallery?

Is it possible to edit the HTML Gallery Web Gallery option in Bridge? I just want it to have file names below the thumbs and preview and it would be perfect for what I want to use it for.

I've found the location embedded down three "package content" levels:
/Applications/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Plugins
/Web.agmodule/Contents/Resources/galleries
/default_html.lrwebengine/head.html
and related html files.
Reminds me of the "beware of the leopard" bit in Hitchhiker's Guide.
