Embedding Lightroom HTML gallery with Dreamweaver

I'm new to Dreamweaver and have used it to build a portfolio website. I've created HTML image galleries using Lightroom and would like to integrate these galleries into my existing page design. Lightroom generates an Index file, as well as Context and Resources folders. I've seen an earlier discussion about using LR to upload the galleries to my host, then edit the HTML to link the gallery pages to my other web pages. This strikes me as cumbersome for two products made by a single company.
What I'm after is a clear answer about if I can embed these HTML galleries quickly and easily into my existing page design? My other solution is to use the Airtight SimpleViewer gallery, but since it's using Flash, my galleries won't work on Apple mobile devices.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and Lightroom 3.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can't edit a flash gallery with Dreamweaver.
To make changes to the LR flash gallery you would require a copy of the original fla file and a copy of Flash to edit it.
The index file you see is the one that loads the flash player to play your gallery. The message is what is seen in a browser that doesn't have flash player installed.
You can make amendments to the gallery itself by changing the xml files, although the changes you can make here can also be made in LR itself so why bother?
You can embed the gallery itself in your own html page. Using insert, media and then finding the gallery.swf file. As long as you then upload everything in the correct locations (including the scrippt files abd the new html file in the same folder structure it will work.
There are other flash galleries that are far easier to embed available. However in order to make serious changes to flash galleries of any type you will require the original fla file and most designers are not going to give you that! Adobe does give away the fla's for the galleries that ship with PS.

Integrating Lightroom Flash Gallery with Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unsuccessfully attempting to edit the gallery files created by Lightroom from within Dreamweaver. The index.html file comes up with this message when opened:
Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed. Download the Macromedia Flash Player
However, I have the player installed...
I have tried uploading the files directly to my server from Lightroom but they do not display. The loading icon whirls endlessly and never resolves.
Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.

Embed Lightroom Web Gallery into Dreamweaver

Hi. I've created a web gallery (lightroom html gallery) using Lightroom 3 and I am wanting to embed it into an existing website that I am working on in Dreamweaver CS5. I've tried many things but nothing seems to work. I've copied the gallery folder into the website folder and uploaded it straight to the site and that doesn't work. As well as changing the index.html and index_2.html (2nd page of gallery) to matching titles of a link that is meant to open up straight to the gallery and it still doesn't work. I've been trying for countless hours and can get nothing. Somebody please help on how to embed a lightroom gallery into an existing dreamweaver site so that it fully works.

I'm not sure I completely understand your problem, because linking to a Lightroom gallery is actually very simple.
Design your Lightroom gallery and upload it to your server. Just do it directly from LR. Let's suppose you have uploaded it into [your webroot folder]/galleries/test/.
Don't rename any of the index files.
Check it has actually worked, by visiting http://celestialapple.zxq.net/galleries/test/index.html with your browser.
Create a link to the gallery on your home page. The source code for the link is <a href="/galleries/test/index.html">Other Photoshop gallery</a>
And that's it already.
Cheers,
Michael

How do I create an Lightroom HTML Gallery and preserve the - in the file name?

How do I create an Lightroom HTML Gallery and preserve the - in the file name?
The hyphen (-) is more search engine friendly, so I label all my photos using hyphens (-) to separate the keywords in the file name
Here's a sample file name - it's for the "Guess Where Berkeley" flickr site
guess-where-berkeley-serkes-xx-s-curve.jpg
I created a Lightroom HTML Gallery and posted it to the following link.
http://www.berkeleyhomes.com/tests/lightroom/lightroom-test-1/
Though it looksl like the HML gallery shows the original file name in the web page, it looks like Adobe Lightroom modified each photo's file name by changing the - (hyphen) to an underscore (_)
Originally
guess-where-berkeley-serkes-xx-s-curve.jpg
After Adobe created the HTML photo gallery the name became
guess_where_berkeley_serkes_xx_s_curve.jpg
Is there any way to preserve the – rather than the _ character
Thank you!

InDesign's interactive PDF support is a small subset of what you can do in Acrobat Profesional.
I think you probably want to create a button (or change an existing button) in Acrobat Pro that causes Acrobat to close the document -- that should be analagous to "exitting the CD." I assume your autorun file is opening the PDF in Adobe Reader? You have not included it and are not specific, so it is tough to say.
I believe in Acrobat Javascript you can close the document with this.closeDoc(). You'll probaly need to ask on the Acrobat forums (possiby Acrobat Scripting) for more detail.

Lightroom HTML Gallery - interesting tidbit

While browsing through the transformer.xslt for the Lightroom HTML Gallery, I found a template that suggested interaction between Lightroom and the generated web gallery, specifically:
When you display a single image in the web module preview, the filmstrip will automatically highlight the respective image in Lightroom. Click enxt or previous, and the filmstrip will update.
Works really well, and is a nice touch for those using the original HTML gallery. Looking at the code, this will not exactly be easy to reproduce for others (like me) looking to code their own gallery...

Lightroom HTML Gallery on Behance

I'd love to be able to upload a Lightroom HTML (style) gallery to Behance. Does anyone know of a way to do so? I'm really hoping an Adobe person sees this and adds it to the list of things to put in future updates.

Lightroom HTML Gallery paths

System = PC, Version = 1.4.1
When uploading an HTML Gallery, the sequence of folders used to hold the images includes a folder called 'bin'. In IIS7, it would be required to create a 'HiddenSegement' section in the site's web.config file in order to allow browsers to view files who's full URL includes that folder name, such as the images.
The problem with allowing this is that IIS7 would then allow all folders like 'bin' to be viewed, which isn't what I'd prefer. Also, having to manually modify web.config might not be straightforward for all users.
Would it be possible to allow the paths used by the HTML Gallery upload to be customized, so that they don't include 'bin'?
Thanks,
Simon

You could edit the gallery. There's a wealth of info in the new SDK on web.

Web: Adjust Lightroom HTML Gallery

Hi all,
LR's web engine "HTML Gallery" works almost perfect for me. Only two things I'd like to change is size of the thumbnails and remove the navigation buttons on the large picture pages.
Could anyone pass me a hint if this is possible / how it could be done?
Thanks!!

Problem with Lightroom-HTML-Gallery

Hi Adobe-Team, I like your gallery in Lightroom 3 but there is one problem! If I write the title to the photos, google can't read it - so it is not possible to find the photos in the internet! Google seems to read the words above the photo. So it thinks the title is "zurück - Index - weiter" (in German) or in english "back index next". Could you add the possibility to write the title of the photo next to the upper side of the photo? Would be phantastic!! it would be also nice to get the possibility to switch the language of the "back - index - forward" Best wishes, ralph

Please be clear enough...your problem was? I suggest just drop the porn lol...

How to export a lightroom web gallery into dreamweaver

I would like to know how to integrate a slideshow 'gallery flash lightroom" into a dreamweaver CC page which already exists
I'm not an IT person. So if you have a simple way...
I don't find any bottom "export into dreamweaver" in Lightroom...
So if someone can tell me how to proceed.
Thanks per advance.
Florence

Thanks for your answer.
Yes. I can open the web gallery page into dreamweaver : I have nammed this page metaphoris.html
But I don't want to use this page as a page in my web site.
I would like to integrate the content (just the slideshow) into the body of an existing page
nammed Artgallery.html
If you know
- which part of the code I have to copy and paste into my page (if it's the right thing to do?)
- and if I have to relocate some files r(essources? images?)
Thanks per advance ;-)

Add Facebook Comments to a Lightroom HTML Gallery template

If you prefer displaying your photos on your own website using Lightroom’s web galleries over uploading your photos to Facebook then one of the drawbacks is the lack of commenting. Fortunately, there’s a way to add Facebook Comments to your own website and gallery. See an example here. To implement this solution see the step by step tutorial:
http://so.ca/?p=265
Does anyone know if Lightroom templates are over-written when upgrading to a new version of Lightroom? It would be annoying to have to repeat these steps with each version upgrade.
Thanks.

Hi Jerfrank,
If you are looking outside of SharePoint, I would suggest you to check Facebook SDK to integrate with your site.
Here are few links to start with -
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/quickstart/
http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/social-media-roundups/15-simple-ways-to-integrate-facebook-into-your-website/
<cite>https://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com</cite>
https://developers.facebook.com/samples

And a bing search for "Facebook developer API" could also help you.
Hope this helps!

Embeding lightroom web site into dreamweaver?

I've created a website in dreamweaver and currently have links to different lightroom web pages. www.owendawsonphotography.com. An annoying problem with this method is having to back click through lighroom to get to your home page. Being new to the web design program is there a way to embed the sites into dreamweaver so that you have the ability to set up a home button on each of the LR sites? I'm guessing not, but just thought I'd ask. Thanks, Owen

You could use the Contact field to point back to your home page, and have a contact point there rather than all over the LR galleries. Also, if you use the Identity plate I believe you could put in a link to your home page. There's also LR galleries at http://theturninggate.net and other sites, and likely other solutions that hopefully others will offer.

Embedding LR web gallery into DW page

I am having problems with exporting an Airtight Autoviewer flash web gallery in Lightroom & then importing it into Dreamweaver as an embed on an HTML page I'm designing. I'm on the creative cloud, so Dreamweaver CS6 & Lightroom 5. Dreamweaver inserts code for old Flash, version 6.0, & won't show the gallery. If I change the code to request Flash 10, it shows a template of the gallery, but no photos. SimpleViewer/Autoviewer discusses this on their site, but without knowing which version of SimpleViewer that Lightroom is using, I can't seem to figure out the appropriate code to get the web gallery to work. Here's the page which discusses this: http://www.simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/support/embedding.html#dreamweaver I've also tried updating to downloading http://wiki.theturninggate.net/doku.php to see if that would help, but have had zero luck.
The only potential work around I've found is to use an iFrame, but then the gallery shows up much smaller. If I try to resize the iFrame, the whole gallery stops working & is stuck on the first image.
Basically I'm building a site for a jeweler. I'm trying to put individual galleries of 1-4 images of each item below it's description. The only other way I could think to do this might be through query, but I'd rather try to find a solution to my original plan.
Thanks!

In Lightroom, use Lightroom HTML gallery instead of Flash. You'll reach more people that way.
