Custom Web Album Templates in Lightroom

I work for a department at UMass Amherst, and we're considering using Lightroom to create our web albums. We used the beta, and there was no way to create custom HTML/CSS templates (besides hacking the code it produced every time). Is this a feature that is included in the 1.0 release, or do you still have to hack the code every time?

Check out Sean's two posts
here. Have fun - it's all xml and xslt - and let us know how you get on.

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.

Can anyone help get me started on making a simple custom web gallery template?

I have tried using the documentation and a freeware template as an example, but I am getting confused, and I think the template is over-complicating things.
I have a web-template that requires the following to get images to automatically work in a gallery:
Full size images in a specific folder
Thumbnails or each full size image in another specific folder
Simple HTML code for each image which allows for image title and description information
The script takes care of the rest. So what I want to do is have Lightroom genereate the images in their specific folders, and the HTML code on the fly for each gallery I wish to publish to my website. I'm posotive this can be done, but I'm having trouble customizing the code. I've tried looking for tutorials and help, but the documentation on this is limited, and I'm not a programmer. I do however have enough experience with basic web design to be able to work with existing templates with relative ease but this is seemingly difficult as I'm not sure what each file in the plugin structure is actually doing. Any suggestions on how I can make a simple gallery output like this? Or a link for a good, solid, easy, step-by-step tutorial?
Many thanks in advance!

You don't need the intermediate step of uploading to Verizon; you can upload directly to Facebook from your phone. You need to go to your Facebook account, and set up your mobile number; then you will get a personalized email address and you can send a text message with the picture and any caption you want to that email address and it will show up as a mobile upload on your timeline.
You *used* to be able to text a status update or a pic to 32665 (FBOOK) but that didn't always work.

Create custom web gallery templates

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WSC8DB18E8-337F-46bc-89C5-5F7F7408696C.html

Can I create a tile layout that is 2x2. It seems that Lightroom won't allow anything smaller than 3x3 and the display in my browser is tiny.
I want a 2x2 layout where each image is 450 pixels on its long side.

Hiring Someone to Create a Customized Aperture Web Journal Template

I'm interested in creating a customized Web Journal template for Aperture. Does anyone know anybody out there I could hire to do such a project?

The BEST way in my opinion is nothing mentioned in this forum:
LIGHTSCRIBE BABY!!!!!!!!
Laser burn ANY image on the DVD just like Hollywood Movies baught in a store.
I paid $175.00 for a Lacie Dual Layer DVD Burner and it included Toast Titanium 7 and LightScribe Software - Best of all works on MACs ONLY (not PeeCee's) and produces flawless DVD's regardless of Brand name.
No ink jets to buy! No paper to buy! No stupid bulky printer to have on your desk! Just a slim Stainless Steel looking DVD Burner that puts to shame Apple's own SuperDrive OR any Label or Printer kit on the market today.

Referencing Single Metadata Fields in a Custom Web Template

Is there a way to refer to a single metadata field in a custom web gallery template? I don't see a syntax for this in the files that define the templates that ship with Aperture. They appear to refer only to the metadata as a collection. Is there a way to refer to individual fields?

The problem is that Web Templates are deployed to a gallery in a site collection and aren't available in Central Admin when creating a new site collection. YOu have to create the site collection without choosing a template and then choose your web
template when you first access the root site in the site collection. Here's an article that discusses that process here:
http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2011/02/10/using-web-templates-to-create-site-collections.aspx
Other than that Vesa's article is still the best one and works essentially the same in 2013 as it does in 2010.

Another NEW Flash Web Gallery Template!

Hey Guys,
I just finished a cool new web gallery template for Lightroom. This one allows you to select multiple images and give them a category name. The template will then separate the images out into different galleries/categories. From the template you can view all the images or just images in a particular gallery/category.
Its really cool! Check out the gallery sample i have on http://www.lightroomgalleries.com
Hope you all like the template! And let me know if you have comments, suggestions, or if you run into any problems.

Very nice. Thanks for posting. It is great to stat to see some real veriety out there for Web Templates for LR.

Custom Web template for the "online link" UI command

All
We are trying to use a specific custom web template to allow personlization of reports within the Portal BI tool using the online link UI command. After users have broadcasted their reports to their BIuserhome directory there is an online link UI command associated to the saved report.
Our one option would be to configure the web template as the default within the IMG. But when we configured a default within the IMG, personalization of the report is not available with the context menu of the report. We are broadcasting the reports to the BIuserhome directory. Once the reports are saved users have the ability access the report using the online link UI command. Since we lose personalization when we configure the IMG with a default web template, we want use a custom web template when we execute the online link UI command.
Is there a way to pass a web template parameter when we execute the online link UI command?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to leverage InDesign Server templates in a custom web app?

Hi there,
I am building a custom web app and was hoping to leverage our existing InDesign Server templates within our web app. What I would like to do, is based on user input, show my template with the user's input in the browser. I have looked through the API guides for InDesign Server CS6, but I haven't been able to conclusively find anything that will allow me to use the APIs to call the server, send the data points the template requires, and then get an image back from the server.
I believe this is possible, I am just not sure how to achieve it! Any ideas or articles that help push me in the right direction would be extremely helpful!
Thank you!
Marshall

Yes it's completely possible. There are two parts to making something like this work:
1. The scripts themselves. You can generally script InDesign Server and desktop InDesign exactly the way using ExtendScript. So that's the part of the process where your script receives variables and passes them into the template and replaces something you've identified as variable, whether text or an image or something else (perhaps a color theme, etc.). You should get your scripts running on desktop before playing around with server.
2. The messaging between your web app and the server. Whatever language you are using (i.e. PHP, .Net, Java, Ruby…) there is a way to make a SOAP call to InDesign Server to tell it basically "run this script with these parameters". You should get the "hello world" script running from a SOAP call on the server before using your real variable-driven document.
The documentation of these things is available here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
You need to download the InDesign Server SDK (don't worry if you're on CC and it says CS6, almost nothing changed) and the InDesign Scripting SDK. The Server SDK deals with part #2 above, the Scripting SDK with part #1.
It really isn't that hard. I should warn you, though, that it is addictive and once you do your first one you will become all-powerful and want to do nothing else. :-)
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.

Wanted to Edit "Create Web Photo Album" template

I'm using MX2004.
I've recently done a major, major overhaul on a website I
manage. We use the "Create Web Photo Album" (not an extension - the
one that came with DW) extensively, but with the new design, the
basic photo album template isn't going to cut it. I could probably
sit with it myself and drop created photo albums into a template
page and make it work, but I'm not the only one doing photo albums
and some of the other people aren't the most... technically
competent.
What I'd like to do is somehow edit the template that
Dreamweaver uses to create the photo album so that it looks like
how we're wanting without any post-album-created-action.
Is this possible? Is there an extension that'll work for this
as well? (Looks like the Exchange is currently down, so that isn't
helping me in my search.)

Get the free extension "Create Web Photo Album 2" from Adobe.
It has many
pre made templates plus instructions on how to create your
own.

ISE access custom-web templates directly

Hey guys,
I am having trouble with a ISE (1.2 patch5) at a customers site when deploying customized html pages for wireless guest-access. The reason we need to use these customized templates is that the language template for the AUP seems not to supprt too many characters and the customers AUP just shows about 20% of these. Therefore I wanted to use the multi-portal configuration to upload a set of html files generated from the samples provided by cisco documentation. The customer complains about missing logos and that the success page is complete html code. I have only remote-desktop access to open the CLI and web-gui of ISE and cannot test for myself the behavior of the pages rendered by ISE.
My question is: Is there a way to open the custom web-page without having to connect to the ISE via WLC? something like:
https://IP:PORT/guestportal/multiportal/CUSTOMPORTAL
I thought I had it in earlier versions of ISE but cannot find the URL anymore.
Some specs around ISE and WLC:
virtual ISE, standalone deployment, version 1.2 Patch 5
WLC2504 running version 7.4.121.0
It is for guest access, so it has to work for most common mobile devices and mobile-workstations(Note- and Macbooks).
Thanks for your help.

Patrick,
For the click-through flow to work correctly, you must have the custom portal set as the default on the ISE. To access the portal from your web browser, go to:
https://IPAddress:8443/guestportal/Login.action?portalname=CustomPortalName

Call custom web templates in Solman_workcenter?

Hello,
in the solman_workcenter you can call a couple of web templates in the test evaluation; e.g. Status Report -> for selected test plans opens the web template 0TWB_TESTPLAN_STATUS as seen at the parameter TEMPLATE_ID in the url. The template contains a query, also called 0TWB_TESTPLAN_STATUS, which shows a couple of values for the selected test plans.
I would like to call a custom web template instead of the standard template.
Is there any way to do this without an enhancement of the web dynpro?
Edit:
I can switch the called standard query inside the web template for a custom query in the web application dasigner. But I'm afraid that these changed settings will be overwritten after an update of the BI content.

hi, robert, i just like to know why the cubes are still empty after the activation of the BI content ?

XSL, XML, and Metadata Names in Web Gallery Templates

I don't know exactly how to ask the question, but what I want to do is customize the information that appears below a full-size image in an HTML web gallery. For the existing HTML gallery templates, this is the area where "caption" data is placed. You can display just about anything you want there, but you are essentially limited to a single line with no ability to format spacing. I would like to be able to show mutiple lines and format the way I want, which would be pretty easy in HTML.
I have created a custom web gallery, and I have learned where in the transformer.xslt file the caption information is placed. However, I do not know what the metadata field names are, or more importantly how to place them in HTML. Does anyone here know enough about XSL to give me hand? Any kind of direction would be greatly appreciated.

Try John Nack's blog
there was some initial info there.
Also Sean McCormack has done a lot of work on hacking the templates

Is there a way to create my own web gallery template for bridge?

Is there a way to create my own web gallery template for bridge?
I want to add custom data that is not in any of the templates.
Pretty much, I'd like to create one from scratch...

This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5. I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?
