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 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. In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write: "1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug- Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/ Automate folder 2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

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 Galleries and new iWeb album pages

The new version of iWeb allows for "album" pages that serve as a collection of all the photo and mvies pages that are in a site. This is pretty slick, and allows one to re-order the photo pages exactly like one can re-order photos on one of the photo pages.
I am playing with web galleries, and notice that you can create a widget for a gallery for any iWeb page. When I do this on my album page, the widget shows up, but does not act like or interact with the other picture pages. It is simply a "widget" that sits on the page where it is placed. Has anyone figured out how to get a (link to a) gallery to act like one of the photo pages?
-=[doug]=-

I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

Web page composer : new web form

Hi,
this is my problem : I created the wpc_mini_article new web forms on my portal, and made new mini article.
All works fine.
Now I try to mage other type of article, for exemple like banner. So I copy the XML and XSL of the standard banner, and made all the parameters explained for wpc_mini_article, applied to my new banner copy.
After restarting the portal, all my previous-working wpc_mini_article do not show anymore, and I have this error message :
Cannot render container : Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XML Declaration not allowed here.(:main:, row:1, col:8)
Also, I can create wpc_mini_article, but when I try to create my new web form (copy of banner) I got a blank screen with jus a "next" button....
What am I missing ?
Thanks a lot.
Fabien.

Hi Fabein,

Hi,
Following are the steps to add new fields to the existing view.
- Create a new controller class (ZCL..) with original view class as super class
- Create new BSP application with View and Controller
- Attach the above Z class to the view and controller created and activate the BSP appln.
- Go to transaction BSP_WD_WORKBENCH and type your BSP appln.
- Expand your controller and at the Context class use Wizard to create new context node and bind this to Custom Controller class available.
This whole process requires complte understanding of View, Controller, Custom controller and basic custom modifications to IC Web Frame work.

Running web galleries automatically in web page

I'm trying to use the web gallery automation from CS2 to add a photo gallery to my website. I've figured out how to get a link to the gallery's index.html file into my page, but how do I get it to just show up within the page and run when someone clicks on the "gallery" link to get to the page? FYI, I'm using MS Expression Web as my site development tool...
TIA,
Mark

That's a well know problem with Aperture galleries. However a workaround was found. See the following topic:

Doubt concerning licence - generating web galleries with Bridge CS4

Hi, I would like to know if I could generate web galleries with Bridge CS4 and place them in web pages which I intend to sell? There is a possibility to generate web galleries in Bridge CS4. Can I place any of them to a web page which I want to sell?

Why do you even doubt it?
If you use a brush and a bucket of paint to create a for-sale sign and sell that sign to your neighbor to stick in his lawn, would you be asking the manufacturers of the paint and of the brush if you can sell it your sign commercially?
Come on, get real.
As long as you are not giving away copies of the software or pieces of its code, Bridge and Photoshop are just tools.

IN R12, NEW WEB PAGES ARE OPENED IN THE MINIMIZED POSITION

We've upgraded to Release 12.0.5. Whenever we click on functions that open new web pages, the new web page opens in the minimized position.
This is very troublesome for our user community because they often do not notice the new page blinking and they keep clicking the link many times.

Editing a webgallery created in Bridge CS4

I have created several webgalleries in Bridge CS4 and would like to change some photos, etc. Is there a way to edit the galleries? I need to remove some photos and add a few more.
Thank you

Hi Zannie 13:
unfortunately, currently there is no way to edit a web gallary generated by Bridge CS4. you can re-create the gallery in bridge.
thanks!

Using CS3 Web Photo Gallery Control Panel in Bridge CS4?

I found where the styles are located in the library, and it doesn't look like the old templates will work with the new Output feature of Bridge. I want to use my old templates from CS3 that I have customized, and would like to use them with Bridge. I have installed the extra Goodies, but they will only work through Photoshop, not Bridge.
Is there a way to have Bridge>Tools>Photoshop bring up the legacy version control panel for the Web Photo Gallery?
Thank you:)

Hi Paul,
I'm not a Lightroom user, but the new Web Photo Galleries that come in CS4 are in Bridge. They are Lightroom templates, so there's probably not much difference. I just tried building a gallery in CS4 Bridge with 35 files, and I could not preview more than 10 either through Bridge or in a browser by pressing the preview button. The only way to preview the entire gallery before uploading was by saving the folder, then opening the index file in a browser.
Web Photo Galleries can be created in Photoshop and Bridge CS4 just like they were in previous versions of Photoshop and Bridge. You do need to configure it using the optional Goodies files since it is not part of the initial installation. It's real easy. The link I posted above has more information. Here it is again:
http://generatex.com/cs4.html
If you do that, you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll have the option of creating web photo galleries with html templates in Bridge or Photoshop CS4, previewing them easily (regardless of size), and have the option of using the new Lightroom flash templates in Bridge CS4.

Web Galleries in Bridge & CS4

It appears the templates for Web Galleries in Bridge are different from those in Photoshop CS4. This seems odd, comments welcome.
Is there a way to Save a Custom Web Template in either Bridge or Photoshop? If one creates a Custom Template (in Bridge) with Custom Colors, etc., that same Template will appear if you later create a new Web Gallery. But once you change the Template you lose the custom colors. Is there a way around this, i.e. save the custom colors? Thanks.

Anyone see changes in images when making a web gallery through Adobe Bridge cs4??? Please Help!

When creating web galleries through adobe bridge CS4 the final gallery images become very orange.....
Not even comparable to what we are seeing in Bridge or Photoshop CS4....
Adobe tells me that this is happening because of the conversion for web use.
We are just noticing this change now and feel that there is a problem somewhere.....
Has anyone else seen this issue or now anything to do to get it fixed???
It's really annoying, Please Help!!!

You probably want to ask this in the Bridge forum. From what I know, Bridge converts the profile to sRGB which helps avoids big color shifts if you view the images in an uncolormanaged web browser. This may change the appearance slightly, but there shouldn't be a huge shift.

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.

CS4 Bridge and Web Galleries

This is probably nit-picking, but I liked a web gallery which I have been using on a site which has about 13 galleries on it. The choices for web galleries in CS4 are OK, but when I checked the file size on a web gallery in CS4 with an identical one I did with CS3, the size was about 5 times as large.
Since I have upgraded to CS4, the old CS3 Bridge isn't available (to my knowledge) and I had to move all the photos from Bridge in CS4 to a folder so I could access the web gallery from CS3.
Tell me if there is an easier way to use the old web gallery directly from CS4 or a way to access the old Bridge from CS3?

Hi all 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.

Help: Controlling transitions in flash web galleries from CS4/Bridge

Hi all,
Is there a way to control the transitions from one image to the next when generating a flash web gallery? I'm using CS4/Bridge on WinXP.
The fade out/in from one image to the next is very chunky, no matter what the file size. And that's on my local copy before I've uploaded it to the web.
I also haven't found a way to generate web galleries from within CS4 itself (looked at file/automate, as well as window/output, but nothing obvious in either location).
Many thanks for your help!
j

Your procedures are correct. The pertinent features have been moved from PS to Bridge. You can use the old method by finding the respective scripts on your install DVD's Extras section (or downloading them). Regarding transition performance and speed I don't think you can do anything. that is solely determined by the Flash template used for that and if you have no way of creating your own ones, there doesn't seem much point in even worrying about things you may not be able to change. Use it or loose it, if you allow me to put it that way. You can however certainly find enough other gallery tools on the web, they may just require you to change your approach and learn some basic web design stuff...
