Advanced Web Gallery CS4

I have recently upgraded from CS2. I have a handful of these galleries on the same site I created using CS2. I have modified them heavily from what CS2 would do. In reality I only used the Thumbnails, Images and the XML file that were created. Even then I wrote a php file that rewrote the xml file to my needs.
When upgrading to CS4 I found that I liked the Lightroom Flash gallery. It is better than what I created in the past it is, well, Flashier .
I can modify it almost enough to get it to do what I want it to except one thing: Create more than a 'view' menu item.
Without decompiling the swf file is there a way to modify the Events?
When creating the gallery there are 3 XML files created:
style.xml <!-- Defines CSS Styles
group.xml <!-- In addition to containing all info leading to images within the gallery it contains some Info:
        <custom>
            <siteTitle>My Site Name Here</siteTitle>
            <groupTitle>This is the title of the gallery</groupTitle>
            <groupDescription>This is the description.....</groupDescription>
            <contactName>This is the name Displayed</contactName>
            <contactEmail>This is the email you get when clicking the above displayed name</contactEmail>
        </custom>
These can be changed to change the text that is displayed on the Gallery.
localText.xml <!-- Contains:
<localization>
    <galleryMenus>
<!-- I created the following Menu Item and it shows up. It just doesn't
do anything without an event -->
       <menuitem label="Awwww" event="MenuView">
            <menuitem label="Come On!!!!" type="radio" event="MenuViewSomething"/>
        </menuitem>
<!-- End -->
        <menuitem label="View" event="MenuView">
            <menuitem label="Gallery" type="radio" event="MenuViewGallery"/>
            <menuitem label="Slideshow" type="radio" event="MenuViewSlideshow"/>
            <menuitem label="Separator" event="Separator"/>
            <menuitem label="About this Gallery" type="radio" event="MenuViewAbout"/>       
        </menuitem>
    </galleryMenus>
</localization>
The javafiles files need no modification to help me in my aim.

I think the problem is that the options in the output module are too limited in how far they can be customised without getting into the code.
Personally I use other programs to generate sites quickly or create them myself.

  • How to get rid of the large slideshow images in Web gallery (CS4)

    Here is the deal.
    I've created a flash web gallery/ But the new CS4 has the option for slideshow with this flash stuff. CS3 use to create thumbnail and large images folders. The new one creates 3 folders: 1. thumbnails, 2, medium images, 3 large images (for the slideshow). That's great, until I go to upload process. I have pretty limited space. So I'm ready to get rid of the slideshow option, but there's no such option in gallery creating process. The only solution I have in mind is to redirect slideshow images to the medium size folder. But thats pretty annoying process during the creation of each gallery.
    So does anyone has an idea how to skip the slideshow creation or another method to skip creating 3 folders, all with the same images?

    Extend DefaultListCellRenderer, not BasicComboboxRenderer. Here's an example that wraps the original renderer and uses it where possible (i.e. instanceof JLabel). No 'white square'.import java.awt.BorderLayout;

  • 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)

    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 CS4 Journal with Slideshow giving too much info

    I have photos from a number of authors. There are also various functions for which I want a slide show for each. I would like the information on the left of the slide to give the Description (if present), and the person who took the photo.
    No matter how many items I uncheck in various metadata panels, I still get:
    Creation date
    Date file modified
    Camera make
    Camera model
    x resolution
    y resolutin
    resolution unit
    Image size
    Metering mode
    File source
    Focal length
    Max aperture value
    Flash fired
    I have unchecked any of these that I have found ANYWHERE in Bridge, but cannot get rid of them. This information is definitely not necessary on the website where they will be posted.
    Does anyone know how to get rid of these items. It is a real pain to try to remove them from the xml file when saved to disk (and there are a LOT of photos to process.
    I am using OSX 10.5.7 and supposedly Bridge is up to date.

    Hi there!
    I have found a much easier way to fix this, and you don't have to start over by building your web galleries in Photoshop. You just have to alter the code a little bit.
    By all means, create your way cool web galleries in Bridge, but look in the "resources" folder that Bridge creates when it makes a web gallery. Inside the "resources" folder you will find a file called "group.xml". Open it in Dreamweaver or whatever you use and view the code. Scroll down until you see <item>. The next lines will contain all that pesky information you want to delete. For example, you might see <title>filename.jpg<title>. Simply delete the file name so that you end up with <title><title>.
    That's it! Repeat for all the information you need to delete, or write in something better. Then hit F5 to refresh the code.
    Even an artist like me can do it. No geeky talents needed. Enjoy.

  • Web Gallery in Bridge CS4 not working

    I've just started using the Web Gallery function in Bridge CS4. The output previews just fine, and loads perfectly from local disk in my browser. When I upload to my webspace, I get just a blank page.
    I have contacted my ISP, who say that the problem lies with the Index.html file. They have run it through a validator at W3.org, and it comes back with multiple errors. i have no idea how to fix these errors, and in any case can't understand why it loads just fine from my hard drive, but not from my webspace.
    Has anyone here had a similar issue?
    Thanks

    Yeah, and I don't see a 'show file names' box on the templates I've looked at.
    What I did was go into the group.xml file and I could find the TITLE tags and changed those to what I wanted for my caption.
    Still seems somethings not right, since I had to manually add them.

  • CS4 Web Gallery, Uploaded gallery does not appear

    I was wondering if anyone can help me with the Web Gallery that Bridge CS4 produces.
    I have used Bridge CS4 to create a web gallery. After Bridge has finished creating it the result is a folder called Adobe Web Gallery. Inside that folder is an index.html file and a folder called resources. If I double click on the index.html file the web gallery opens in Safari (Mac). So all is good so far, it tests OK from my hard drive.
    Then I upload it to my ISP server using Fetch, as I did when using the Photoshop CS3 web gallery automate feature, which is upload the index.html file and the resources folder with all of its content into a folder on my isp members area. I then create a link to the index.html file. When I try the link it produces a blank page in Safari called " Adobe Web Gallery", and the rest of the page is blank.
    When I upload the files with Fetch I copy the exact structure as they appeared in the folder on my hard drive. I have tried to upload the gallery directly from Bridge CS4 but Bridge does not seem able to create a connection with my ISP.
    In the meanwhile I am still using Photoshop CS3 to do my web galleries, I 'd just like to get the CS4 version operating as it looks like a better product.
    I am using a Mac Pro Quad duo 2.8 with 4 G Ram.
    regards
    David

    Try it this way:
    Re-name the folder called Adobe Web Gallery to a name which is more appropriate for its contents; then upload the complete AWG Folder, with all of its contents, to your ISP Server.
    Now create a Link (with an appropriate label) on the main index page (Home page) on your site and link that "Link" to the index.html in your new Gallery folder.

  • Bridge CS4 Web Galleries - Adding New Web Gallery Presets

    Hi. How can i import new web gallery presets into Bridge CS4, for example from lightroomgalleries co? Im on a French Win XP and Photoshop CS4. I know i have to create a folder within Common Files/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/. If i see it right, i have to create another styles folder within that? I manage Bridge CS4 to offer the imported preset in the presets menu, but the results look generic, not like what the preset should do according to the description on the web site. So what can i do?
    Are there other sources for other gallery presets?
    I would also like to know how to set the name that the Presets menu uses. Ive seen this .dat file which seems to control the names for the menu, but wasnt able to change the name appearing in the menu.
    For that, I had copied a complete style like 03filmstrip, changed the xml files and renamed the folder to 09filmstripVariant. Thus it appeared with the original name, but at position 9 in the menu. I didnt find out how to make it appear with a new name.
    In these names for Bridge gallery presets, are there certain characters i must avoid like underscore, minus or blank?
    Thanks for all clear info!

    Hi all<br />It is still possible to create webgalleries and contactsheets in CS4, but you have to copy some files and folders from a folder called Goodies which you can find on you install disk or download as extras from Adobe.com. <br />In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write:<br /><br />"1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug-<br />Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/<br />Automate folder<br /><br />2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo<br />Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

  • Bridge CS4 / Flash Web Gallery

    Hi!
    I'm trying to create a web gallery in Bridge CS4.
    If I save to disk, then it'll run fine locally, but once uploaded it won't any more.
    No idea why. It used to work, and as far as I know, I altered *nothing*.
    Here is one that did work:
    http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testflash/
    (uploaded using Fetch)
    Here's one that I ftp'd from Bridge. Works as well:
    http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/test
    Here is the exact same gallery as the one above, saved to HDD, then uploaded using Fetch.
    http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/test1/
    Both of the later galleries don't have a folder "bin" created, which the first one did.
    Also weird, is that when I used CyberDuck to upload the "test1" gallery, I got a "403" error when trying to view it...
    HTML galleries work "so so" for me.
    Again: looks fine locally, looks off once uploaded.
    Error 403: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTML/
    Looks off: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTMLFetch/
    (strange symbol on the top, when clicked, the images appear off center, and with a dark line above them)
    Again, does look okay when uploaded through Bridge instead of Fetch:
    Works: http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/testHTMLBridge/
    A few other points I have with the web galleries through BridgeCS4: There seems to be no option to watermark, or to convert the images to sRGB? These images are AdobeRGB, with embedded profile, which will look like crap in any non color managed browser. Not ideal, to say the least.
    Also repaired permissions and such. Then restart.
    No help.
    I've tried resetting all prefs for bridge, and even installed the entire CS4 anew.
    No help.
    I'm at a loss here. Might be something simple I'm missing, but I don't see it...
    Guess I'll just have to use LR to build web galleries.
    OSX 10.4.11
    G5 2x2GHz
    5.5Gb Ram
    31Gb free on an 160Gb HDD

    I discovered a way to create a Bridge CS4 gallery that works in all browsers.
    The flash gallery worked great on most browsers - but does not work on the iPhone.  My google analytics show that many people are looking at my site via an iPhone.
    Take 2 was making an .html gallery.  Was able to preview it and it looked great on my computer, but when uploaded to my site the images did not appear, only the names.  This indicated the image files had not uploaded.  I located the "content" folder within the photo gallery and tried uploading it separately, receiving the error that there was an illegal file name so it couldn't be uploaded. 
    Take 3 - looked at the file names in the folder "content" and realized the sub folder name "bin" was probably causing the problem to solve it (it is assumed that you manage your site with Dreamweaver CS4):
    Open Dreamweaver CS4
    Locate the "bin" file in the "files" palatte and select it
    In the drop-down menu in the upper right of the files pallet choose
    >file
    >rename
    >then rename the file, I used "source"
    Dreamweaver will ask you permission to update linked files - say YES
    The gallery will now work on all browsers.

  • Web Gallery didn't work on CS4 and still Doesn't Work on CS5??? WTF

    Can somebody please help us with this big issue.
    Web Gallery didn't work on CS4 and we gave up, got Capture one, but now we upgrade it to CS5 and still DOESN'T WORK??? How this people never fixed that issue? can you please get real????
    Thanks
    Pablo

    Pablo,
    As Jocheim points out, this is not the place to get help. My guess is that you need Photoshop Just choose the appropriate sub-forum.
    Also, this ARTICLE might be very useful at gathering the types of info, that will help others help you. Note: much relates to Adobe Premiere, so you can skip over those parts, but you should get the general idea.
    Good luck,

  • Bridge CS4 - Save/Print Photos from Web Gallery

    I have only been using Bridge CS4 for the last couple months to put web galleries on a web page.  I don't know how to change the settings to allow people to save/print the photos from the web gallery once it is posted on the website.  I used to create the photo album in Macromedia with "create web photo album" but this was apparently replaced with Bridge, but the old method allowed for saving and printing.  Any help is appreciated on allowing this to happen with Bridge web gallery.

    Solved!
    This works for Windows.  I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
    I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
    In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe  Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
    In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
    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;
    ...with the following:
    AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
                    var alteredName;
                    while (true)
                                    alteredName = "_";
                                    alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
                                    var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
                                    if (!f.exists)
                                                    break;
                    return alteredName;
    You can cut and paste the above.  Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
    Cheers!

  • Web Gallery only shows 10 pictures cs4

    When I try to create a web gallery in Bridge CS4 and/or Photoshop CS4 only ten images are included even though I have selected many more than 10.  I have tried different column and row configurations, I have reinstalled, but it still only includes the first 10 images and then there are blanks.  I found a 2008 reference in Adobe support to this dead link which is supposed to have a solution: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b70a2d/0
    But it is dead.

    The preview only uses 10 images to let you see how it will look.
    This is to avoid slowing things down unnecessarily
    To see the whole gallery, save it to a convenient place to view it in a browser.

  • CS4 Web Gallery Limitations?

    Hi,
    I just tried building a web gallery using Bridge and, guess what, it seems to be limited to 10 images. I seem to remember a similar limitation in the 'test' version but I was sure they would fix it before the product went live. If somebody knows a way to get around the limit please let me know. Running Windows,Vista, CS4 Photoshop.
    Thanks,
    J.

    so let me get this straight...Adobe's flagship product Ps, is now second fiddle to Lightroom in web capability?
    It always great to buy an upgrade and discover it offers less, thank you CS4 lead at Adobe!!!!

  • Bridge CS4 Output Only 10 Images to Web Gallery

    Hello all,
    I have, in Bridge, output workspace, selected 14 imges to be output to the web gallery and only the first 10 images are processed. Any idea as to why? Maybe it is as simple as a setting in the preferences? Thank you so much in advance.

    If you are referring to what happens when you click "Preview in Browser", then yes, the output does only include the first ten images.
    To preview the full Web Gallery before uploading it, you must generate the Web Gallery and then preview it by double-clicking on the "index.html" file which will cause it to open in your default browser.

  • Web Gallery in CS4

    I note that the useful Web Gallery for is no longer in CS4. I think that for the Photographer's community Adobe Lr has taken a good portion of their attention and includes the Web Gallery function on it. But Customize the Web Gallery in Lr adding html code has been impossible due binary code. I created some very cool applications like shopping carts with e-commerce capabilities at http://kendallportraits.com for my Photography Studio in Miami using the Web Gallery Templates in CS3 and I really don't want to loose it in CS4.

    then install the old web gallery http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4048

  • Photoshop CS4 web gallery template in Lightroom?

    Hi,
    I have a custom web gallery template set up in Photoshop CS4. I would like to use it in Lightroom, but it appears the Lightroom web gallery templates are in a different format (and not so customisable). Is there a way I can use my CS template in LR??

    Thanks Ian,
    I am trying out Lightroom to see if it can replace PS for my needs. So far its not looking good! Looks like I might have to upgrade PS instead. I am preffy proficient with PS and have several custom functions set up. My web gallery integrates with my website and has been developed over a time to get it just how I like it. I can also drop in and edit the HTML to tweak it as I go.
