Developing a Web Gallery Plug-in

Hi - hope I'm in the right place.
I'm pretty new to LR and am attempting to develop a Web Gallery Plug-in using the SDK (so far, so good).
A couple of things puzzle me. First, the model statement in galleryInfo.lrweb appears to control many things -- the documentation refers to tags imported from com.adobe.lightroom.default, but I'm not finding the file or any documentation for that. Second (and similar), there is reference to a custom.css file that appears to control a lot of this, too. Likewise, I'm not finding that file or any documentation for it.
Am I missing a major concept here (I'm not a web guru)?
Thanks for any help.

Custom.css is the file created from the ["appearance.XXX.XXX"] statements as specified in the manifest.lrweb file (page 130/131 in my version of the PDF)

Can I use CSS with PS Web Gallery Preset?

Using DW CS4. I wanted to create a web gallery with captions under the thumbnail images. I could not get captions to show up using the workspace output tool in Bridge, so I used the web gallery plug-in and preset in Photoshop. The doc title and description from the metadata shows up with each thumbnail and large photo, which is what I wanted. I added an Iframe to make the gallery show up in my web page layout with all the links I wanted, and I re-wrote part of the preset html to eliminate some of the extra preset gallery text at the top of the gallery pages. I am using a transitional doc type.
It all worked out just fine and the pages are working as planned.
However, when I used DW to validate the gallery pages, the report showed errors because the font attributes for the gallery pages are controlled by html and not by CSS. There are two problems cited in the report:
The tag "center" is not allowed within: 
In HTML 4.0, FONT is deprecated... consider using style sheets instead.
Questions: On the gallery pages generated by the PS plug-in and pre-set, is there a way to control font attributes with a style sheet instead of using the pre-existing html styling? Do I need to be concerned about the attributes being deprecated?
If you need to look at the web gallery, you can see it at http://www.LoonSongGardens.com/webgallery/galleryab.html
If you look, you can see why I am daylilybud!

I used an iframe (as opposed to a frame) as suggested in an article by David Powers about embedding a gallery into a web page. He says the iframe is acceptable in html, and no problem with the iframe itself was indicated during validation, just the FONT attributes from the PS preset I used. You can read the article here: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/gallery/embed1.php
In my current gallery, thumbnail captions appear from the metadata for each photograph. For each large image, both the title and the description come from the photo's metadata. This works well for my purpose, and I want to avoid re-entering each title and description. I guess my question could be better stated by asking if CSS can be added to the preset to apply to captions coming from the metadata of each photo.
Regarding the lightbox approach you suggest, I looked at the example and do not see captions under the thumbnails. Can captions be added to the thumbnail images? (It is essential that my thumbnails have captions.)
Customers need to see the name of each plant when they browse thumbnails in order to select items (daylily plants) of interest.
Because I am dealing with hundreds of photos and will need to update frequently, I am looking for a solution that is efficient and fairly easy to maintain. So far, the PS web gallery preset meets my needs better than anything else I have found, but I thought I'd try to find out if I should and can fix the FONT attribute validation problem.

Editable Web Gallery

Is there any way of making the web galleries in Bridge CS4 more editable? ie I would like to add a navigation bar to the gallery so it integrates with the rest of my website? Or is there a way to create a webgallery that is not a html but an contect item to add within an already existing html?
Is there a better program to use? Ie old photoshop? or Fireworks?

EIther download a web gallery plug-in, or pay, or borrow, a good javascript slideshow option. I thought that after progress up through CS3 with web galleries (it still needed more customization) that Adobe would offer someting worthwhile in CS4, but not only have they changed the entire web gallery set-up, they've offered the blandest options possible. Seeing what's also going on in Premiere (4 dissolve transitions for Mac) and Flash CS4 (destroyed workspace), I really have to question the judgement of high management at the company...CS4 reeks to high heaven of cheapness...

Web gallery for iPad and iPhone -- your suggestions

Hi,
My current website has Flash-based galleries created in LR using SlideShowPro. I want to create an alternate web gallery for viewing on the iPad and iPhone. Can someone here recommend a LR web gallery plug-in for this purpose? If possible, I'd like the gallery to work the way the iPhone Camera Roll works, but at very least, I'd like viewers to be able to simply flick their way through the images. (SlideShowPro Director does this, but I'm not quite ready to take on its complexity.)
I found a pretty nice solution here:

Any other suggestions?
Thanks very much.

Someone else just asked this and I answered. You can use the hard drive publish service to push photos into a gallery that synchronizes with iTunes. It works really well.
Here is the other post:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4410886#4410886
I use the hard drive publish service to create galleries for my iPad. I setup iTunes to sync photos from a particular folder, and then setup Lightroom to publish to that folder. Each time I want to create a new gallery for my iPad, I just create a new published folder and drop the photos into that folder. Then I publish the photos. The publish feature allows me to update photos in collections easily, as well as setup specific sizes for export to my iPad.
I have also used published smart collections for my portfolio images. When I tag a photo with a particular gallery keyword, it gets added to the collection. I then just publish the photos in the service and I've got them on my ipad. It works really well!
Setup a hard drive publish service
Open the Library module
Go to the Publish Services.
Press the + to and choose Go to publishing manager.
Click Add
Choose Hard drive as the service type. Name the publish service iPad Photos
Choose to export your photos to a specific location. Make note of this location and instruct iTunes to use the same location for synchronizing photos. Do not choose to put in a subfolder.
Choose the format as JPEG, Color space as sRGB, and set your quality in the File Settings section.
Choose to resize your photos to fit the iPad in the image resizing section. I have chosen Width & Height of 1500x1500. This will give black bars if your photo doesn't match the aspect ratio of the iPad. You can also choose Dimensions and set a dimension. The output photo will be cropped to fill the screen. I have an iPad 2 and wanted to be able to zoom a bit, so I chose dimensions larger than the iPad.
Set the other options as needed -- sharpening, metadata, and watermarking.
Click Save.
Back at the Library module you should now find your new publish service. Create a gallery.
Right click the service and choose Create Published Folder.
Name the folder the name you want to appear in your iPad Photos app.
Drop files from the photo browser into this new collection.
Right click the collection and choose Publish Now.
Repeat these 4 steps anytime you want to create a new gallery on your iPad.
All you need to do now is to sync the photos on your ipad using iTunes.

Turn Off Slide Duration Web Gallery Output

I am using CS5 Bridge, I would like to turn off the slide duration feature on the web gallery output. The box requires a value.
If the product will only produce web gallery output with a slide duration is there a way to hack the html output and remove it manually?
What is your opinion of installing the legacy web gallery plug in.

Dan:
You can temporarily disconnect from the internet, unplug the modem to computer cable. If you're wirelessly connected then turn off the Airport on the Mac, not the base station.
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. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Firefox 3.03 - why such an old version? 3.6.12 is the most recent release.
It is up to Microsoft to fix Outlook Web Access to work with Firefox or to come up with a plugin for Firefox. If Mozilla was to start fixing or write plugins for all the software out there that is made to work with Internet Explorer and not any other browser, they wouldn't have time to work on Firefox.
There are two Firefox extensions that will open IE in a Firefox tab. Many users install one of these addons to get around problems like you are having with Outlook Web Access.

Does "Bridge Web Gallery" need Java on hosting server to run?

I have uploaded a web gallery made with Bridge CS6, but all I see is a white screen. the gallery works fine locally. I just spoke with my host servers tech support and all he can think of is that they doen't run Java on their servers because it causes them way too much trouble. All I see is Javascript in the resource folder and they have no issue with that.
I'm on a Mac and as far as I know I'm running the lastest Java on my Mac as I updated it a few weeks ago. This is why I was wondering if I needed Java? Also I'm using Dreamweaver to upload the files to the server.

workflow functions are also exposed via java api's. so you can have your web application in say iAS, weblogic, ibm websphere,... and display pages using the java api.
the default workflow pages are generated using pl/sql api's. in this case you can get rid of pl/sql gateway.
i myself have worked on implementations which developed the application using the java api's

Thank you Fernando. I have been pointed out that there is a oracle plug-in for Microsoft IIS, enabling us to use it as the web server, Hence removing the need for Apache http server and the PL/SQL gateway.
Many Thanks

Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.

A workaround for Aperture users to use .Mac Web Gallery

As a user who recently switched to Aperture - I was hugely disappointed seeing some amazing new photo-related features in iLife '08 not available for Aperture users. Let alone the cash for purchasing software suites, I can't convince myself switching back to iPhoto for a single feature. So I googled and searched around...
Some pre-requisite for the workaround: You must have iLife '08, Aperture and .Mac installed.
_*Solution 1*_
Create an album in Aperture that contains the images you want to upload to your .Mac Web Gallery. In iPhoto '08, create an empty library, then File > Show Aperture Library, choose the album and import images from there.
The downside of this is the images are your Versions in preview quality.
_*Solution 2*_
Export Versions from Aperture and import the images to iPhoto and perform the upload.
_*Solution 3*_
For users building websites in iWeb, I have seen threads that one could use the media browser in iLife suite to perform similar result but it also limits to the preview quality of Aperture.
I would have to say even the workaround is hugely disappointed but I can't see any other solutions at the moment. I couldn't recall my last ocassion on having such disappointment for Apple's software development.

Apple really needs to rev. Aperture so it sends photos directly to the new .Mac Web Galleries.
Everyone needs to go here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
And voice there opinion there to get this added to Aperture.

We have had this issue many, many times before including on the latest 3.6 rev. It appears that when the applicationCache has an update triggered by a new manifest file, the browser may still use only its local network cache to check for updates to the files in the manifest, instead of forcing an HTTP request and revalidating both the browser cache and the applicationCache versions of the cached file (seems there is more than one). I have to assume this is a browser bug, as one should not have to frig with server Cache-Control headers and such to get this to work as expected (and even then it still doesn't sometimes).
The only thing that seems to fix the problem is setting network.http.use-cache to false (default is true) in about:config . This helps my case because we only ever run offline (applicationCache driven) apps in the affected browser (our managed mobile apps platform), but it will otherwise slow down your browser experience considerably.

Help with Starting a Web Gallery

I am new to Lightroom and would like to setup a web gallery. I setup the FTP server in the Upload Settings and when I click upload, everything seems to be working fine. I also get a "Task Completed" message in the processing bar (upper left).
When I go to the destination, (www.wokintime.com/gallery/) nothing is displayed. Also, when I click "Preview in Browser" nothing displays - the url says "about:blank" and the entire page is blank.
Am I missing something?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Do you get an error message from LR when uploading?
Have you got permission to upload to this folder on the server?
Are you placing the gallery in a sub folder within the gallery folder on your site? This will be shown here in LR
Have you checked your server to see if the galley files are present? Whoever supplies your web service will usually have a mechanism to do this. Log in to your service in your browser, it will be called file browser or the like.
I note you are using wordpress for the site, you may also have a htacess file on your site that is set to prevent browsing directly within a folder that is outside of the WP instillation, you will need to change permissions on the folder to allow viewing of the gallery by direct html link if this is the case. It may be better to create your galleries in wordpress itself, many plug ins are avaible for this, I do this on my sites such as
http://severnriverstrust.com/
petemarshall.com
both of which use WP for the site and files from LR to create galleries

How to Edit Web Gallery Output from CS5?

Hello! I just upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS5. (Got some scrambling to do to catch up!) I had been using the old File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery to create galleries for my Web site. Massaged a little in Dreamweaver MX (I know, I know...) they look something like this:
http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2/index.html
I found out how to add the old Web Photo Gallery back into Photoshop CS5, but was curious to find out what Bridge CS5 would do with Output>Web Gallery. I experimented with the Standard template and was mostly happy with the result. Here's what I got:
http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2_test1/index.html
Trouble is I'd like to be able to customize the output a little more than allowed within the template itself. It looks like the output has Flash, JavaScript, XML, HTML and maybe other programming resources. I'm fairly familiar with HTML 3 and CSS, but am not a programmer. Can anybody recommend what high-level editing tools (example: Microsoft Word for fancy text editing) I could use to make some modest tweaks? The default modules are fine, but I'd at least like to be able to add a link back to my main gallery page like you see at the top right of my old Web Photo Gallery pages.
Also- are there 3rd party templates for Bridge CS5 Web Gallery?
Thanks, - Dave

Hi i7nvd
Oh my, I missed that completely! Thanks very much for bringing that to my attention. In the meantime I found that ACDSee would do a Web gallery that works OK for me. However I will go back to Bridge Output Web Gallery this afternoon and five it a whirl. Again, many thanks for jumping in and pointing that out to me. I appreciate it a lot!
BTW, thanks for the link to your site built with the Bridge plug-in. And congratulations on the wedding!

Web gallery - disabled - my fault?

When I select 'Output' in Bridge CS4 nothing happens the right hand panel which, on my other system changes to Output, remains unchanged from whatever it was already set to. Now I must admit I made a change when first installing CS4. From the Goodies folder I installed several plugins one of which I thought was the Web Gallery plugin and did the following: 1. Install the Web Photo Gallery plug-in. 2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Scripts/Layer Comps To WPG.jsx file into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Scripts folder and overwrite the existing Layer Comps To WPG.jsx. As I didn't do this on my laptop where the web gallery functions normally, have I somehow prevented it from working and how do I rectify it. Thanks, NeilC

That looks strange. What you seen in the 'C:\Documents and Settings\[useraccount]\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4 Extensions\Adobe Output Module' should be at this folder:
'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS4 Extensions\Adobe Output Module'
Did you have this folder 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS4 Extensions\Adobe Output Module' with the '5 folders:
adobeoutputmodule - AMT - contactsheet - medialgallery - resources + 2 files: AdobeOutputModule.jsx and IncludeHelper.jsxinc '.
If not, I would suggest you uninstall and re-install the application. it seems it didn't install to the right place. If you don't want to reinstall, please try following step:
a. move this folder 'C:\Documents and Settings\[useraccount]\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4 Extensions\Adobe Output Module to
'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS4 Extensions\Adobe Output Module'
b. reset and launch Bridge.

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."
