Bridge 4 html gallery modification

I have been using a custom set of html templates for web photo galleries with CS3. The identical feature can be invoked from Bridge/Photoshop CS4 with the provided "extra" plugin.
However, is there any way to tailor the "output / web gallery", html gallery template option of Bridge CS4 manually. I suspect that this should be a "style" option that I can create. For example, I wish to add buttons and other options to web gallery. I cannot find help information regarding this on Adobe's site.

I have succeeded in doing some more extensive modification to the web gallery styles:
By creating a new template style. In my case, I duplicated the html gallery style and giving it another name ("09myHTMLgallery"), then modifying the default settings within the file. The templates are located here: Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe Output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates
By modifying/hacking the master.css file, which is located here: Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe Output Module/mediagallery/resources/htmlgallery
Note that the above is based on using Photoshop/Bridge CS4 on a Mac.
Step 1 is fairly straightforward. What i was able to do with Step 2 is change some of the default styles like ths size of the image numbers, which was really bugging me, and i was also able to add in an image/logo header at the top by inserting it as a background image into the sitetitle div.
Definitely NOT an elegant work-around. And it doesn't address the image caption issue. But better than nothing.
Hope this helps someone out there...

Bridge CS4 HTML Gallery

All of a sudden, the HTML Gallery option in Output/Web Gallery is gone! It's still available on my laptop, so I can still access it. But where did it go and how can I get it back?
I made the mistake of updating the CS4 products...maybe that was it.
Anyone know how to get it back? I'm running CS4 Design Premium [Mac].
Thanks in advance.
Margot
ps. I did a search but only found Windows downloads...

the Web Gallery template HTML Gallery is still not there.
Personally I don't use Webgallery and accidentally assumed that you can (like in the PDF section for Output Module that I use a lot) create your own custom template but that seems not the case.
However I did find the possible location of the webgallery in the library on rootlevel. Choose your start up disk icon and follow the path: Library / Application Support/ Adobe/ Bridge CS4 Extensions/ Adobe Output Module/ mediagallery/ resources/htmlgallery.
Do the same on your laptop and check if the htmlgallery folders are present on both system and have the same content inside. If not copy the one from the laptop to the new system and check if this solved the problem.
Also check the presence of the other templates in the new system. If they are also gone it might be wise to use the uninstaller for CS4 and choose to uninstall Bridge, and reinstall it after you have checked and repaired permissions with Apple Disk Utility on your new system.

Adobe Bridge CS6, Output to HTML Gallery coding issue.

Adobe Bridge CS6, Output to HTML Gallery coding issue.
I have created the html, JavaScript, css file using the output function in Bridge CS6, which nicely generates the coding, pages, folders and files. I can edit the html files such as gallery title, name, etc., in Dreamweaver CS6 just fine and preview them in a selected browser (both chrome and IE) and everything works fine.
When I ftp upload the files and directories into my hosting account (Go Daddy), the images do not show up. The file table appears but the thumbs images does not appear and when selected to preview the larger image, it does not appear either. I have not altered the file structure at all. Go Daddy says it is a coding issue, but I cannot fine any errors.
Have you seen this issue before? All Adobe help research have failed. Any suggestions??

Have you asked on Go Daddy site for help in uploading Adobe Bridge script? Just to say it is coding is not helpful.

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.

Bridge HTML Gallery Coding

I used Bridge to create a photo gallery using the HTML Gallery Template to place on a website. I need the html page that is created to have a different name than the default index.html as well as contain my own header and navigation buttons. That's easy to fix. Here's the problem. When a person clicks on a thumbnail a larger image opens up and just above that large image a person has a choice of clicking on the words Previous, Index, Next. Previous and Next work as expected taking you to the larger view of the image that is either before or after the one you are viewing. If I click on the word Index it takes me to a view of the thumbnails but not the page I had edited and renamed. Where do I find the coding to change the link for the word Index so I can change it from the default index.html to what I renamed the page to? I've found pretty much everything else but not this link. I'm sure I'm looking right at it and not seeing it!
Thanks for your help.
Sue

I’ve only looked at this briefly, but as far as I can tell:
The “Index” link points to index.html inside the content folder, not the index.html in the root of the web gallery folder. That’s the file you need to rename and add your extra code to.
If you rename index.html, you’ll also need to change the name throughout all the code or you’ll get a “page not found” error. This is best done with a text editor that can do multi-file find and replace, such as TextWrangler for Mac (not sure of Windows equivalent, but there must be many out there).

Bridge CS6 Output to HTML Gallery - images not showing up

Bridge CS6 Output to HTML Gallery issue - my images are not showing up. The files look the same on the local and remote files. The images populate on the local and not on the remote. Is this a JavaScript problem.
Any help is appreciated.
I've done a work around solution by using Lightroom, creating a quick collection for a custom order HTML web gallery. I would much prefer to stay within Bridge CS6 and have its HTML gallery actually work...

Hi AlbiDan,
Its possible that it might be a Javascript issue. I see that javascript is used in the HTML gallery. Did you upload through Bridge or from an FTP client? Do you have the URL for a broken gallery?

Photoshop CS5 Bridge HTML Gallery Questions

Have upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and am trying to create HTML Web Galleries that are similar to what we have been creating in CS3.
I no longer have control of the size of the thumbnails created for the Index pages and cannot create less than 3 rows of thumbnails.
We used to create 2 rows and 4 columns of 200 pixel thumbnail images.
Is this something that can be modified if we downloaded the SDK and worked with scripting?

I have found the same problem when I went from CS3 to CS4 and continued the same problem in CS5 then I researched the "Output" and "Web Gallery" section again a little more thoroughly. Found that in almost every gallery provided there is a way to change the size and/or quantity of thumbnails in your gallery. For instance the "HTML Gallery" in the "Appearance" section you can change the size of the original picture (your larger picture) and the quantity of thumbnails that show up per page. Next you can save your changes in the "output" section under "Style:" While using the "Filmstrip" template you can change the size of your thumbnails in the "Appearance" section. Hope this helps

How to have more than one Bridge Web Photo Gallery in a site

I'm having a problem inserting more than one bridge web photo gallery in my site. I have thumbnails of different jobs and when clicked I want a new page to load with all the images of that job. I have one thumbnail linked to one of the galleries and I made another gallery and can't find the code to change to link it to the new html gallery. When the page loads it shows the first gallery I made instead of the new gallery.
Example:
I made a gallery of a deck job and on my photo page there is a thumbnail. When clicked it brings up the deck.html photo gallery made in bridge cs4. Good!
Now, I made a gallery of an outdoor fireplace and on my photo page there is a thumbnail. When clicked it should load the photo gallery of the outdoor fireplace. It loads the gallery of the deck instead.
I understand that the code needs to be changed to link to the new files. I changed the "resource" folder for the outdoor fireplace to "resource2" and changed the code script src="resources" to script src="resources2" and it did not work
I suspect that I need to change the code that points to group.xml and rename the new photo gallery group.xml to group2.xml so it will find the one in my resources2 folder, but I can't find the code anywhere.
Any help would be great. Also, if there is a better way of doing this let me know?
Thanks

Maybe I can explain this better....
the group.xml file has the information for what images to load. When previewing the outdoor fireplace web gallery "of.html" it loads the "deck.html" web gallery. I believe this is because in one of the files it is requesting the info from the group.xml file from the resourses folder. I need to find where the code is that directs it to the group.xml and change it to group2.xml and rename that group.xml file for "of.html" to group2.xml in the resourses2 folder.

Bridge cs5 photo gallery - journal + Slideshow problems, incorporating a gallery into my site?

When i'm trying to make a journal+slideshow photo gallery, i get all this unnecesary information from my metadata. ( Date last modified : ...., software: ....., X resolution, Y Resolution, image size, resolution unit..) Is there a way to make that go away so i can see just my description and author, what i want to see?
And can i incorporate a gallery made with bridge/other flash gallery into an already existing HTML page, so that you have my template's design with that in the middle(the contents/editable part for me)? Or does it need to be a whole new html page, i'm using dreamweaver.
Picture of uneccesary info, can it go away?

I found out putting it in dreamweaver is pretty easy, just use iframe and make the width/height however you want it and it works fine for me. ( From the adobe web gallery in bridge>use the whole folder's index.html(can change name) as source for iframe, and you have the gallery, you need to move the whole folder to the site root though if you want it there, not just the .html )
I just want that excessive stupid information to go away, but i can't figure out how >->

HTML gallery drawing incorrectly

I'm new to Lightroom, having used Bridge for web galleries in the past.
I'm using LR 2.1.
I created an HTML gallery with the default gallery that comes with LR.
A couple of my images are not rendering correctly in IE7 when viewed from the LR-created web page. However, if I navigate directly to the JPG file, it renders correctly.
Here are screenshots of a small portion of the images...
http://www.bhpowell.com/lr/
As you can see, some areas render as gray spots instead of a dark (nearly black) color.
The images seem to render okay with Firefox, but not IE7.
The source of the image is in the sRGB color space.
I've tried re-creating the files, and used different JPEG compression settings. (The latter seems to have some affect on the gray spots, but they are still there.)
Exporting from Bridge doesn't have this problem, but I don't have as many web options when exporting from Bridge CS4.
In LR, the "Library" and "Develop" tabs don't show the artifacts, but the "Web" tab shows the gray spots, though not as many as the final output.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Brian

After a little investigation, I discovered that PNGs also do not render correctly in IE7 in similar circumstances.
I ended up using Levels in Photoshop to bring the output blacks up to "5", saved the images as PNGs, modified the HTML from .jpg to .png, and that seems to have covered up the problem well enough.
By the way, I did confirm that IE8 beta 2 renders the images correctly.

HTML Gallery, metadata and image download

hi,
I find Bridge collections really useful and output to html gallery template pretty good looking as a quick way to show prospect clients themed presentations of my work. There are two issues though which I hope someone can help with, or that Adobe would change if listening in on this.
Whereas the html gallery template reads the metadata like description, title and filename, metadata is being stripped from the image when image is downloaded from gallery.
That the image can be downloaded and that meta data is stripped from the image files are two reasons not to use what otherwise could have been an excellent product.
I would prefer the coding of this html gallery to prevent download of individual image files and as content providers we totally rely on metadata being contained with image file. Are there ways I can change this without going to script amendements?
If the solution should not be with adobe, could anyone suggest another product that could cater for this need?
Many thanks in advance.
Torunn

Amendments (and apologies for errors in my original post. Copyright status, -notice and -url are indeed contained in metadata for downloaded image, so not so bad then Wish list thus shortended to description field and the IPTC contact data. Though why not all?

HTML Gallery Output error.

I am trying to output a folder of photos into an html web gallery and getting an error.
Web Gallery Output Error: I get an error when I try and do an HTML Gallery from CS6 Bridge on Windows 7 64bit. After hanging on "generating html for several minutes I get the following error.
"An error occurred in a bridge extension. JavaScript Error (Auto-Stack Panorama/HDR:3042): Internal error."
I am using Bridge CS (Version 5.0.1.23 64bit).
Windows 7. 64BIT on a PC.
The error occurs on large and small batches. Preview and Save commands.
Any help to get this working would be very welcome. I have rebooted to get a clean run of bridge with same results.
Thank you so much,
Clarke

Nix on that. I enabled all previously disabled extensions using Extension Manager CS6 — they were all InCopy-related — and the same error occurs. I should mention the title of the error is 'An error occurred in a Bridge extension.'
Which is why it's particularly annoying that EM doesn't support Bridge anymore — no way to see which extensions Bridge uses, nor manage them.
Ah: problem solved. The default font shown was Hobo Std, of all things, and finally Bridge recognized it's a problem font and disabled it.

Auto fill subject with an Email link in CS4 Bridge flash web gallery

Is there a way to autofill the subject line of the email link in the CS4 Bridge flab web galleries? I can do it if I use the html gallery, but I prefer the look of the flash galleries.
If I open the "group.xml" file I see code for me email link, exp.: <contactEmail>maillto:[email protected]</contactEmail>
I tried adding the "?subject=My Subject" like I would on an html file but that didn't work. I was hoping for some suggestions.
Thanks!

I want it to work on the click of a mouse: when I run or test the page the email comes up immediately. Here is what I have so far:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:mailto:[email protected]?subject=yoursubject&body=your message"));
/* Mouse Click Event
Clicking on the specified symbol instance executes a function in which you can add your own custom code.
Instructions:
1. Add your custom code on a new line after the line that says "// Start your custom code" below.
The code will execute when the symbol instance is clicked.
button_3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_6);
function fl_MouseClickHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
     // Start your custom code
     // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel.
     trace("Mouse clicked");
     // End your custom code
So how do I get the email to open ONLY when the mouse clicks on the link??
