Can I Change HTML Web Gallery Title & Caption Fonts in LR2?

If so, how?

I don't think you can change the name, but you can put the gallery in a subdirectory on your site and link to it there, that way you don't have to rename it. That's what I do, I have each of my galleries in their own directory and the main page in the root, all with their own index.html.

Variable weblinks in Flash web gallery title & caption fields

I know that one can put a fixed URL as custom text into a LR flash web gallery title or caption fields and simply click on that field in a gallery and go to that website. However, that URL is fixed and shows up for all images in the gallery. I would like the ability to have that URL vary by image. That is, I want to be able to setup custom text for a title or caption gallery field that inserts an image's certain metadata value(s) within a URL string. E.g., be able to enter for these LR Flash web gallery fields custom text of the form:
#A href="{title}">click here for foobar#click here for foobar#/A#
where "#" = enclosing html brackets
and where {title} is an image's LR title metadata (e.g., "http://www.foobar.com")
Left clicking on such a custom field should take the browser to webpage whose URL is held in the current image's title metadata.
This almost works now (LR v1.4) ... Such a custom text title displays correctly (i.e., just an underlined "click here for foobar"). And if I right click on it and choose "copy link", the correct URL from that image's metadata is in fact there. Unfortunately a left click just doesn't take the browser there.
This capability would be useful for providing image info which either won't fit (e.g., extended caption info) or is technically not easy to place (e.g., a dynamic *.mov pano view) on an image's web gallery page.

Just a comment about the web link in general -- Make sure your URL link actually works in the live /internet world. I have found that it doesn't. It looks great on your computer but when you actually build the web gallery, the link doesn't go anywhere.

whoops, I didn't know that my post's example custom text string would be interpreted as a hyperlink :>) Here's the example text without the enclosing "a brackets".
href="{title}">click here for foobar

Bridge CS5 Renames Files in HTML Web Gallery

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?

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!

No way to change it, it's a "feature." (Not!)

LR HTML Web Gallery -- modified version with great features is available

For anyone using the default Lightroom HTML Web Gallery, one of our associates here has offered a modified version with some great added features.
John Beardsworth's site -- Lightroom Solutions - http://lightroomsolutions.com/ -- is a wonderful resource for LR tips, plug-ins, information, etc.
The default HTML gallery is fine, but I always found it lacked features. I mentioned this to Ian Lyons (http://www.computer-darkroom.com/) a couple of years ago, and he sent me a modified version with the ability to specify up to 100 rows by using sliders instead of the grid. When I tried John's modified version, it had some other good features. I thought.... what if the two modified versions could be combined? So, I shot John an email, and low and behold, he uploaded a new version of the gallery to his site. Thank you, Ian and John!
Here is the link:
http://lightroomsolutions.com/my-tweaked-built-in-html-gallery/
Here are the added features that I find most useful:
Number of rows (up to 100) and columns can be specified using sliders rather than the grid
Thumbnail images can be sized to your specification
Filename can be placed on each thumbnail, and you specify size of text
Clicking the large image advances to the next image rather than returning to the top of the thumbnail page (no need to use the 'next' link)
See the site for other added features. (If you already have John's version, the newer version has the same file name and went online April 17, 2013.)
PLEASE NOTE: John Beardsworth's HTML gallery is NOT supported by John or Adobe, and is offered "as-is."
I hope others will find this as useful and I have.
John

I've done a version of this where the large file links to the medium and it works no problem. code is based on tutorial code I've already written..
I'd need to see more code to see where the issue might be..
Here's what I have:
(I opted not to put the files in "content", also ignore margin-top, it's not relevent to this)
AddGridPages {
template='grid.html',
rows=model.nonCSS.numRows,
columns=model.nonCSS.numCols,
AddCustomCSS {
filename='resources/css/custom.css',
AddResources {
source='resources',
destination='resources',
AddPhotoPages {
template='detail.html',
variant='_large',
destination="",
AddPhotoPages {
    template='medium.html',
    variant='_medium',
    destination="",
In medium.html
<div id="detailContainer">
<div style="margin-top:<%= margintop %>px;">
<img src="bin/images/med/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" alt="$image.metadata.description"/></div>
</div>
in detail.html
<div id="detailContainer">
<div style="margin-top:<%= margintop %>px;">

Can't subscribe to Web Gallery from iPhoto 6

I've created a Web Gallery with iPhoto '08. People can view it from multiple current browsers is OS X and Windows, and can download the individual pictures or the entire album. People with Windows and people with iPhoto '08 can subscribe to the Web Gallery, but people with iPhoto 6 cannot subscribe.
Subscribing in iPhoto 6 returns an error:
There is a problem updating the subscription for the Photocast: "Abouaf/Pizante Family Cruise '07." The Photocast cannot be found on the .Mac server.
Is it possible that the special characters in the name of the Web Gallery (/ and ')are causing aproblem in iPhoto 6? Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?
Thanks.

Mike:
I don't believe that iPhoto 6 supports web galleries. When I tried to subscribed to my web gallery with my iPhoto 6 library it reported that there were no photos in the photocast section of the iDisk. It's looking for a photocast, not a web gallery. They are located in different folders. The galleries in the web/sites/_gallery folder and the photocast in the web/sites/iPhoto folder.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Adding Rows to HTML Web Gallery

I am satisfied with Lightroom over all, but there is one item, I could not use at moment -> the web-gallery. I would like to use the standard HTML Gallery, but I need to add more rows. Wish: 3 columns, 8-9 rows (at moment I use Fotostation to built up my web galleries in this way -> see http://www.npx-photo.com -> click on a picture to get to the gallery).
Is it possible to change the code of the standard gallery? Does anyone has had the same problem and solved it?
Any help would be great to make my life much easier ;-)

Don't know if this helps you at all. It's not LR of course.....
In CS2 Adobe added two Flash-based templates you can use for your online Web Photo Gallery. Even cooler is the fact that you can now add a background music track to one of these Flash galleries. Just follow these steps: First find the MP3 audio track you want to use as your background music and rename the file as "useraudio.mp3". Then open your Photoshop CS2 application folder and navigate to Presets>Web Photo Gallery. Inside that folder look for either Flash Gallery 1 or Flash Gallery 2. Depending on which gallery you chose within Photoshop, drag-and-drop your audio file into the corresponding folder. That's it! You've got background music.

Lightroom 2.7- HTML Web Gallery

Hello all,
I've been using Web Gallery features to produce picture pages but I would like to incorporate them into my existing web pages (with or without a background. I'd like to continue to use Lightroom because of it's ease of use to allow me to create the web sized photos (in the two web optimized sizes), without the backgrounds such that that HTML code can be dropped onto another prebuilt page and updated easily, perhaps coding it in such a way as to allow input from Lightroom?.
Have you come across this problem? Is there a way that you've found to accomplish this?
Here's an example of what I've built so far:
http://a0700308.uscgaux.info/_images/flotilla38_2010_picturepages/index.html
Here's an example of an existing page that I'd like to be able to update my "PicturePages" web gallery onto.
http://a0700308.uscgaux.info/flotilla38_blankpage.htm
The whole concept is to do this and still allow the pictures to be updated from a Lightroom web gallery so they can be added/changed/deleted easily. Appreciate any help...
Henry

If you are able to save out the page that you want to include the gallery into as a .php file, then you can include the Lightroom gallery file in there using PHP Includes:
Doing it this way will allow you to easily publish your Lightroom gallery without being afraid to overwrite the old customized HTML page.

Can an Adobe Bridge web gallery slideshow file be inserted in Dreamweaver as part of the homepage?

Hello. I am designing the homepage of my first website in Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. And I would like for the page to include a slideshow that automatically plays as soon as a visitor opens the webpage. I am interested in using Adobe Bridge to create the slideshow using the feature "web gallery." The tutorials that I've seen describe how to create the web gallery slideshow, then show how it appears when uploaded to the web as an html file through FTP to a server. It appears as a separate page. And I notice that the web gallery file is an index file. I would appreciate knowing how to include the html file as part of the homepage. Will simply renaming the file from being "index.html" to something like "my_first_slideshow.html" make possible including it in the site structure? Or will doing so cause it and the files attached to it to be inaccessable when viewed in a browser? If it can be included in the site, is an <iframe> needed to be in the code for the slideshow to fit into? Thank you.

Maybe you best try this question in the dedicated Dreamweaver forum?:

Web Gallery Titles

Has anyone noticed that the titles of a "Web Gallery" album don't show up in Safari using the "Mosaic" view, but do appear below the photo using Firefox (and are also there using the latest Internet Explorer on a PC). This assumes you checked the "Show photo titles" option when you published the album.
Jay

Jay:
I'm using Safari 3 and the titles do show up under the large photo in the mosaic mode. The only mode that the titles do not display is the carousel. It's the same for Firefox except the carousel gives me the Quicktime icon grayed out. I guess I don't have the QT plugin for Firefox.

Html web Gallery: Cell Number Size

I need to determine how to alter the size of the Cell Numbers in the :standard" Lightroom Web Gallery layout.
The numbering is too large to be clearly seen in the upper left hand corner of the cell i;e the thumbnails cover a portion of the numerals.
I'm fairly certain that my client is not going to appreciate this "feature".
How does one change the font size...either in the Lightroom Web Gallery Mode or using HTML...in Dreamweaver or otherwise?
I' will appreciate any help on this.
Thank you

I don't know of a way to influence the size of the cell numbers from within LR.
From outside LR, you have two options:
1) If you want to change the number for a specific web gallery you exported:
Open file [your_webgallery]\resources\css\master.css with a text editor
Find the section ".itemNumber" and change the value of "font-size:" from 40px to something smaller
2) If you want to make the change valid for new HTML web galleries you create:
Open file "\Shared\webengines\default_html.lrwebengine\resources\css\master.css" under your LR installation directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 for WinXP)
Do the same edit as above
Note that option 2 has to be repeated after every installation of (new versions) of LR.

Can't creat a Web Gallery

I am running Bridge CS4 on windows Vista and when I click "Outpout to web or PDF" I do not get a templete like I used to, to create a web gallery. I did go to Adobe Bridge Preferences , selected the Startup Scripts panel, and selected Adobe Output Module. I then restarted Bridge but still I do get the template. Sorry, can't do a screen shot since the drop down menu disappears whenever I click on the snipping tool.
I used to be able to do this all the time and have no idea as to what has happened.
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks,
christian

If it worked before and you have made no changes to software or hardware I would try resetting preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and start Bridge. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Can't send to web gallery

I set up a Web Gallery in iPhoto, with the option to "Allow Photo uploading via email", synched my iPhone, but when I try to send it to the web gallery, it says "Your Web Gallery has no shared albums". Can anyone help with this?

This worked for me as well. I think this is a bug with the latest firmware release, as it did NOT have this problem before. Thank you for your solution.

How come I can't see my web gallery to insert into iWeb?

G'day people
I have several web galleries and want to insert them into a web page I'm creating with iWeb '08.
However, when I go to "Insert -> .Mac Web Gallery" it tells me that there are none! I have a .Mac account which is set-up and accessible without any problem when I'm iPhoto. The .Mac account I am using in iWeb is the same as the .Mac account in iPhoto so I can't figure this one out.
Any idea?
Cheers
Al

The reason they don't appear is because the galleries are password protected.It's not a bug, it's a feature!
