Html gallery of Lightroom question

IS there some simple way to get a filename with the thumbnail previews . I can only get " index " number into gallery index page , which is giving me headache because customers want " image number 323 " loooking at index , instead of ordering _IMG_12345
that is stated on the large image .
I dont want index numbers , I would like the filename to be seen even on that index page .
Any clues ? Impossible ?
It worked fine in web gallery made from PS 7 ...:)

If I had a penny for every expert that told me they hate something or other, I'd have £2.56 now.
I think there are some questions to think about when you choose a technology to use on your web pages:
1) Does everyone have a really fast link?
Answer: no. If all your customers are corporate, viewing down a big fatband connection, then use Flash; otherwise the download speeds get tedious and people walk away.
2) Does everyone have Java?
Pretty much, yes. Some of the more obscure viewers, particularly the text readers for blind people, don't really like Java. But, at the risk of appearing somewhat cold, blind people don't look at photo websites.
3) Can you please everyone?
No. That's just how it is. The feedback I get on the Java galleries centres around the fact that they look very slick, download very quickly (especially if I'm not greedy with the image sizes) and are quite intuitive to use.
So for me:
* the original lightbox concept appeals to me aesthetically
* the slimbox implementation of it is fast to download
* the mootools java is ridiculously compact
* Matthew's implementation of it all into an LR template is very usable in my workflow
* my styling of it is just what I want and works in IE6, IE7, Firefox and Safari
The best piece of advice, I think, is not to subscribe to the intolerant tyranny of the belief that there is one best way of doing it.

TTG HTML Gallery

TTG HTML Gallery is pretty much what it sounds like: a new HTML gallery for Lightroom. It outputs valid XHTML and CSS, and a lot more customization options than the LR HTML gallery. It boasts thumbnail annotations, ratings, color labels and onImage Navigation among its many features.
Get it:

Think I may have found an answer for Mel.
I was having the same problem as Mel, but only on my standalone PC (non-internet connected). In LR, the wooden background is visible, as is the help button, and the images can be moved around the screen but not double-clicked. Previewing the gallery seemed to generate the previews (active progress bars at top of screen) but IE did not open. Additionally, clicking on Preview again showed this error message, even though there were no active progress bars showing:
Tried reinstalling Flash 9 but no success. However, my internet-enabled laptop worked fine, albeit without the double-click working in the LR preview. Then I realised that my laptop uses Firefox as the default browser. I installed Firefox and the Flash plugin on my standalone PC and voila! The preview in browser option works perfectly! I can only assume this is a problem with IE or the Flash plugin for IE.
Additionally, I went back to the LR preview on the laptop and in desperation/annoyance, I started hammering the left-click button on the trackpad (work's laptop, ha!) and found that the zoom function DOES work - if you TRIPLE-click on a preview and do it REALLY fast (was using two hands, one finger not fast enough for me despite my video game addiction!)
Weird. Anyway, do like the gallery, as well as the Slimbox version. Thanks for these.
By the way, both machines run XP Pro, LR 1.1, Flash 9 and Firefox 2.0.0.6.
Kind regards,
mcv

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.

Add Lightroom 2.0 HTML Gallery to iWeb

When I create a slideshow in Lightroom it produces an HTML Gallery, not a .swf file. Files are created and I do not get an HTML code that I can copy and paste into the iWeb snippet. Where do I upload this folders' contents to MobileMe's iDisk and how do I link to it in iWeb? I'm wanting to create a slideshow that will run in the iWeb page, not have the slideshow open on a page of its own.

Put the folder in the iDisk > Web > Sites folder.
Determine the correct link to the page in the browser as you would with any page :
http://web.me.com/username/Lightroomfolder/
Or use your domainname.
Then paste a <iframe> in the HTML Snippet with the URL to your slideshow as the src :
<iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Lightroom 2 HTML Gallery: Changing WEBSITE meta name="Keywords" of template def

Lightroom 2.0 HTML Gallery Engine: Can I change the WEBSITE meta name="Keywords" of the template default?
DEFAULT HTML CODE generated by template:
meta name="Keywords" content="photography,software,photos,digital darkroom,gallery,image,photographer,adobe,photoshop,lightroom"
meta name="generator" content="Adobe Photoshop Lightroom" "
Thanks for any info.

Download the SDK, read up on Web Galleries, find the default_html.lrwebengine, back it up.
Open and edit the index and detail pages, then save them. If you messed it up, replace it with the backup. All at your own risk. I don't encourage messing with the factory files.
If you want a second version, change the title and id to something else and use both of them.

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...

I have uploaded a mini HTML gallery to my website host using Lightroom. should the gallery be placed in the assets folder (i.e. public/assets/galleries/alexis)

When I see code errors, I stop trying to trouble shoot because code errors account for 98% of browser rendering problems. When you clear up your orphaned tags: mismatched <p></p> and <li></li> tags, then I'll take a closer look.
PS. Being able to work with code is essential to using DW and 3rd party plugins. Without basic coding skills, you're going to be lost most of the time.

Photoshop CS5 Bridge HTML Gallery Questions

Have upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and am trying to create HTML Web Galleries that are similar to what we have been creating in CS3.
I no longer have control of the size of the thumbnails created for the Index pages and cannot create less than 3 rows of thumbnails.
We used to create 2 rows and 4 columns of 200 pixel thumbnail images.
Is this something that can be modified if we downloaded the SDK and worked with scripting?

I have found the same problem when I went from CS3 to CS4 and continued the same problem in CS5 then I researched the "Output" and "Web Gallery" section again a little more thoroughly. Found that in almost every gallery provided there is a way to change the size and/or quantity of thumbnails in your gallery. For instance the "HTML Gallery" in the "Appearance" section you can change the size of the original picture (your larger picture) and the quantity of thumbnails that show up per page. Next you can save your changes in the "output" section under "Style:" While using the "Filmstrip" template you can change the size of your thumbnails in the "Appearance" section. Hope this helps

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...
We can help you out if you clearly state your problem then you'll be helping us as well.

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!!

HTML gallery drawing incorrectly

I'm new to Lightroom, having used Bridge for web galleries in the past.
I'm using LR 2.1.
I created an HTML gallery with the default gallery that comes with LR.
A couple of my images are not rendering correctly in IE7 when viewed from the LR-created web page. However, if I navigate directly to the JPG file, it renders correctly.
Here are screenshots of a small portion of the images...
http://www.bhpowell.com/lr/
As you can see, some areas render as gray spots instead of a dark (nearly black) color.
The images seem to render okay with Firefox, but not IE7.
The source of the image is in the sRGB color space.
I've tried re-creating the files, and used different JPEG compression settings. (The latter seems to have some affect on the gray spots, but they are still there.)
Exporting from Bridge doesn't have this problem, but I don't have as many web options when exporting from Bridge CS4.
In LR, the "Library" and "Develop" tabs don't show the artifacts, but the "Web" tab shows the gray spots, though not as many as the final output.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Brian

After a little investigation, I discovered that PNGs also do not render correctly in IE7 in similar circumstances.
I ended up using Levels in Photoshop to bring the output blacks up to "5", saved the images as PNGs, modified the HTML from .jpg to .png, and that seems to have covered up the problem well enough.
By the way, I did confirm that IE8 beta 2 renders the images correctly.

Bridge CS6 Output to HTML Gallery - images not showing up

Bridge CS6 Output to HTML Gallery issue - my images are not showing up. The files look the same on the local and remote files. The images populate on the local and not on the remote. Is this a JavaScript problem.
Any help is appreciated.
I've done a work around solution by using Lightroom, creating a quick collection for a custom order HTML web gallery. I would much prefer to stay within Bridge CS6 and have its HTML gallery actually work...

Hi AlbiDan,
Its possible that it might be a Javascript issue. I see that javascript is used in the HTML gallery. Did you upload through Bridge or from an FTP client? Do you have the URL for a broken gallery?

Web gallery re-sizing question

Hi all,
I am a wedding photographer and do all my editing and web galleries with LR. I burn a data DVD for clients with high-res JPG files, and I use LR to generate a web gallery that includes all their photos for them to more easily browse through the files on the data DVD.
I do this by making an HTML web gallery in LR, then replacing the directory of "large" image files (that are only 600px width or height) with high-res images (that are up to 3500px wide or high). This way clients can browse within a nice web gallery structure but still have the high-res files on the data DVD.
This method was working fine on LR 1.2 but since the 1.3 upgrade the generated CSS for the HTML gallery seems to have changed and it's messing with my technique of replacing the LR generated "large" files with my high-res files!
Looking at the CSS code, instead of specifying a width and height it now specifies a "maxSize". I havent come across this CSS code before, and it doesnt seem to be recognised by my Firefox or Mac Explorer browsers.
So what happens when I replace the 600px files with my high-res 3500px files is that the HTML page for the full preview photo shows a massively wide or high photo, ie it runs right off the screen. Previously it maintanied a max 600px width or height.
So does anyone know how to fiddle with the CSS to allow me to refer to the high-res images but allow clients to browse files as 600px?
Thanks

>Mac Explorer browsers
I don't know about the other problem, but I hope you are not honestly still using IE for mac. Microsoft retired this browser many years ago and it is not up to any current CSS standard. On Macs use Safari or Firefox. Preferably the first as it at least color corrects and considering most macs' screens are calibrated at the wrong gamma, Firefox will make all your images appear to have less contrast than inside Lightroom. Firefox will have icc profile support in version 3.0 which is currently in beta but that will take a while before it gets released in usable form.

Auto start default html gallery

Can I auto start the html gallery (default)?
Can I not use the thumbs?
Is there a better Lightroom template to do this?
bob

I don't believe that feature is supported in Lightroom's default Flash galleries. You could have a look at SlideShow Pro Lr Plug-in, which is altogether much more powerful and flexible tool for making web galleries and slideshows.
