LR3 Web Gallery Sequence Numbering bug?

Anyone else getting this problem with sequence numbering in the web HTML templates? Basically, as you jump through photos the photo number is always stuck on #1, never changes when you go to the next photo - should go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I just sent a bug report but, wondering if anyone else found a fix for this yet.
This is in LR3 on Mac - really trying to do this on TTG Highslide gallery but, same problem occurs in default Lightroom HTML gallery.
Thanks.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Go to Web Module
2. Choose default HTML Gallery
3. Under Image Info set Caption to Sequence
Results:
Sequence caption always shows 1/total images.
i.e. 1/10, 1/10, 1/10, 1/10
Expected results:
Sequence should increment current image number / total images as you click through images.
i.e. 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, 4/10

Yeah, still have the numbering problem using the Image Info sequence outputs.
But, if you use the standard Lightroom Flash Gallery it has it's own sequence numbering output (that does not use Image Info captions) and it does work correctly. These show up as 1/9, 2/9, 3/9 etc. on each photo down by the back/next buttons.
Also, the Cell Numbering does work when using the Lightroom HTML Gallery - though, those numbers only appear on the index page not on individual photos.
But, haven't seen a good work-around yet for sequence numbering in Image Info area. Only option there seems to be typing numbers manually into the caption. Or, if you need the caption for other info maybe use one of the IPTC fields like Headline to type in your numbers. You can then do a Custom Setting in web module to have those text fields show up with your photos.
Really hoping we will see a LR 3.1 sometime soon with a fix - should be an easy correction for Adobe.

Recommendations for third party LR3 web gallery software

I've begun experimenting with the web gallery software in LR3 and have mixed opinions. Does anyone have recommendations/preferences for such. I've played with the SimpleViewer options and with SlideShowPro. Any views on these would be helpful. Or other sources I might have missed.
Thanks in advance for any help,
John Kendrick

John,
I'll add my vote for SlideShowPro for Lightroom. At the beginning of this year when I decided to redo my website, I did a pretty exhaustive search, like you are doing, and I decided to use SSP/LR. I am now struggling with the mobile device Flash issue. SSP Director looks like it will be an excellent solution, but like you, I don't want to use a beta version either.
After trying a few interim solutions, I came up with the following solution/workaround. I made an abridged selection of images from my portfolio and turned them into a video which I put on YouTube. If a user visits my site on a non-Flash device, they will see a link which will guide them to another page into which I have embedded the YouTube video. They do not go to YouTube.com -- I certainly didn't want that. I tried lots of other ways to do the video and the YouTube quality is the best. I still have work to do on the video, and it's not a perfect solution, but at least mobile users can see some of my work and don't hit a dead end on their iPad or iPhone.
Here's the link if you want to check it out:

By the way, the support at SlideShowPro is top-notch. The user forums are great: You post a question and you will get a reply from Todd (owner of SSP) or Tim in a very timely manner.

How can you add a music player a LR3 web gallery?

I feel like this would be a highly desirable feature and assumed Adobe would add it to Lightroom 3. That doesnt seem to be the case. Does anyone know an easy work around for adding music to your Lightroom web galleries? Dewplayer http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer-en.html seems to have a open source mp3 player with a code generator. I assume i can use that and then cut and past the code into one of the lightroom gallery files. Where do i paste it? I am using lighroom's simpleviewer web gallery.

HTML web gallery indexes and bug with Chrome browsers

I'm getting weird results with Lightroom to generate HTML web galleries and viewed on a Chrome browsers where the last image in a row drops down to the next row, making the index look horked? Sample page below, could someone using Chrome let me know if they are seeing the same thing? Is this an issues isolated to me, or known by Adobe? http://www.wrestlersarewarriors.com/images/wrestling/college/2015/15CMWSFSSTAN/index.html

Tried it on Chrome 40.0.2214.111m running on Win7 and it looks ok.
There is a 6x5 grid of photos, none out of place.
Checked through several different galleries. Firefox 35 and IE 11 all look the same.
I can also check it out on a chromebook tomorrow when at work

Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order

Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
[Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
Here's my experience:
1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
If it asks for a password, use---
user:earthling
pass: draf1 )
"preserve all metadata" is checked.
I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
Thanks for your help!!

BTW, here's the related issues I found:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....
=Don't have line breaks, nor "and" nor &...
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bff9de1/0
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0

OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

Is there any way of making the "cell numbers" smaller on a lightroom web gallery?

I am new to lightroom having used aperture 3 in the past.
I am currently trying to create a html web gallery in order to put up some images online for a client. I am really happy with the flexibility of the lightroom galleries.
However, the cell numbering on the grid pages are very large and the larger the number, the more of the number hides behind the image. I have been searching for a remedy to this problem as there doesn't seem to be any point in having a contact sheet for a client if they can't see what number an image is.
I have attached a screenshot to illustrate.
Has anyone else had this problem? Would really appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!
Jack

Well, you could probably hack the template file itself. I've never done it, but others have restyled markup in a variety of ways.

Numbers in web gallery and resource image folders do not match

When I create a web gallery in Bridge, the numbers in the resource image folders, (Large, medium, thumbnail) do not match the name and numbers in the gallery and are completely out of order. The numbers are long and random. My client is trying to email the small files and cannot locate them easily.
I have never had this problem before....can you help?
Thanks!!!

Thanks Think, I've tried that. The strange thing is when I
open the page in Contribute, it shows the original image. When I
click Edit page, the image I want on the page is on the page. Not
sure what I've done. Pages were originally created in Microsoft
2007 and uploaded to the web. I am using Contribute to edit, it
seemed like it would be much easier to edit pages.

Web gallery export bug: Crop ratio change doesn't update correctly

I've just submitted this as a bug to the Aperture feedback site, but then realized that maybe I should have asked around to find out if it was just me or if it's an actual bug.
Try this: Export a web gallery to your site. Now change the cropped aspect ratio of one or more images in the gallery. Now export the gallery again and when Aperture asks if you want to Update or Replace the existing gallery, select Update. (This option is supposed to save time by only sending the changed files to the site.) The image that was cropped differently will still show up in the Index and Detail view with the old ratio, but the new dimensions will be stretched to fit the old ratio.
I've done this repeatedly and it's completely reproducible. The only way to get the gallery to display correctly is to select Replace when exporting the gallery. Obviously, if your gallery is larger than a handful of images this will take a while and it defeats the purpose of the Update option.
Does anyone find this same issue or am I the only one?

Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm thinking now that if I create a new version in the web gallery and crop it just for the web export the app will probably re-send that image out to the web site because it treats the new version as a different image. Since the new version really doesn't take up any meaningful hard drive space this wouldn't be a deal-breaker, but I would have to remember to NOT delete that version or change the crop ratio before uploading the gallery again.

Web gallery not in order on Apple TV

I've just viewed a friend's web gallery on Apple TV and although it shows fine via computer on the internet it has a completely different order on Apple TV. How does Apple TV sequence the photos in a web gallery slide show?

Ok, I've checked further and as near as I can tell the Apple TV uses the folder names in the iDisk web gallery folder to determine the order for the slide show. This is just plain dumb. It only works for the simplest situation of one camera with continuously incrementing title names and does not allow for any manual arrangement of the picture order. Just a bug I guess.

Aperture 2, Stacks and Web Gallery

I have had so many issues with this lately. I shot photos today, picked my favorites and created a web gallery. I then ordered my 40 photos in the web gallery in a very specific order to tell a story.
1st I noticed that the order sorted some how and I lost my custom sort. So I reordered it into a specific order.
Then I was working with stacks. I wanted to organize the rest of the photos in the project to find others that I missed before and to promote images to find better picks.
Then I noticed the Web Gallery would then automatically add all images in the stack next to the single photo in the Web Gallery.
2nd. My web gallery has hundreds of photos, mostly ones that I did not want displayed. Also my custom order was lost and I once again had to try to reorganize.
To make what could be a longer story short, I had to break all the stacks that I spent time on in order to remove the unwanted photos from the web gallery.
Are we forced to make a choice between using Stacks and Web Galleries? Can they NEVER be used together?

After much frustration and time looking at this issue, and reading this topic in forums, discussions and the Aperture User Manual (pg. 562 - 567) - for which there is no clear explanation of this - You can only use the stack pick in the Web Gallery.
Exactly!
Which means : If you want maximum flexibility in creating Web Galleries, DO NOT use stacks.
I suppose this depends on what you are using stacks for. If you are grouping images in stacks that you want to use, you can certainly do that, but that will be problematic in Aperture in places other than gallery, because that is simply not what stacks are designed to do. If you have several shots so similar you will only use one, but don't want to throw the rest away (you might change your mind later) put them in a stack. Makes it easy to compare and "pick" which one to output. If you have a number of photos that are roughly similar, but you will be using more than one - you can initially stack them, but will probably be better off splitting the stack later. Say I am shooting sports and get a high-speed sequence of a breakaway. I could put the whole sequence in a stack initially, but some of those images are different enough that I might want to publish two or three (out of, say, 15 shots). I might get them all in one stack through auto stack, or even manually stack them initially, but I will probably set one pick and extract a few others. The alternates will be there in case I find a use for them later. Same thing with portraiture. When shooting portraits, I can get a lot of almost identical images - with small nuances in facial expression being the only difference. Another kind of stacking I often do is when I create new versions from the master and make color and exposure adjustments.
What happens to the thousands of stacks that people have already created in Aperture and would like to simply get photographs online? You must rework your entire organization (if you use stacks) to accommodate this inconsistency.
I think Aperture is actually pretty consistent regarding stacks and alternates. Alternates are ignored if you try to create a web journal, web gallery, web page, or a book. I see no problem getting them online - the picks will display, extract alternates if you want them to display also.
And to further complicate a situation, when you select one photograph in a stack, and create a 'Web Gallery', once created, every photograph in that stack is put into the 'Web Gallery'
In other words, there is no 'Ignore Stack Groupings' option in Web Galleries and since Picks can be anywhere in the stack - this creates an organizational nightmare.
Yes, if you try to drag a single image to another project or album, the rest of the stack comes along for the ride. I know this bugs you, but I actually like the way it works. Where you see this as inconsistent - I see it being very consistent. If I create a stack - that stack is identical in all locations. I can change the pick for different albums, but if i alter a stack in any other way - it is changed everywhere. This doesn't take up an real space on your computer - it is all just referencing back to the master images anyway. If seeing all those alternates in the stack bother you, just close the stack By the way, your pick cannot be "anywhere in a stack" - the pick is always on top. Your "album pick" can be anywhere in a stack, but close the stack and the album pick is what you will see.
Maybe you would do better using albums for the kind of organization you are doing - it sounds to me like you are using stacks kind of like albums anyway. Just select a stack and "create album from selection." Then you can unstack your stacks and work with albums instead. Then when you drag an image to a web gallery you won't get alternates.
But leave the stacks the way they are please - I love them just the way they are

Safari Not Able to Open .Mac Web Gallery

This is a very unexpected error. A friend sent me his web gallery link and Safari is not able to open the page. An error message appears:
"This browser is incompatible with .Mac Web Gallery.
We support the following browsers:
Mac OS X
Safari 2.0 or later (requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later)
Firefox 1.5 or later"
Now that is very unexpected because I'm using OS X 10.5.1 and Safari 3.0.4. Wouldn't you know that I can launch it just fine using Firefox. I don't want to use Firefox and thought I would be able to use an Apple product (Safari) to actually open Apple technology (web gallery).
This is the only issue I've experienced after Leopard upgrade and the most annoying. I've provided Safari Bug feedback, but I don't expect a response.
I'm looking for someone out there to help me through this issue. Otherwise, I hope Apple is listening. Don't give me a reason to switch back to FireFox.

Hi,
From previous postings here it seems to be a problem with the .Mac Gallery rather than Safari. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest there is insufficient bandwidth on those servers and when they get bogged down they mis-report the error message you saw.
Check in the [.Mac Web Gallery|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1199] forum to see if they have some more concrete information.

Dotmac published web gallery not showing up.

So I have now created 2 web galleries through Aperture 2. One shows up the other does not..
The URL it should be at is http://gallery.mac.com/cbchev68/100191 and it should be called Sushi Hunter.. The other one that is showing up is called Northwind Charters.
Im guessing there is some software bug here. If I go into Aperture -> Web Gallery -> Sushi Hunter. Then in the main window choose Web Gallery -> Visit Web Gallery, it opens Safari with the above URL and I get an error that the gallery does not exist.. What is even more interesting is that if I go into Aperture preferences, web gallery, it only shows the one gallery that actually shows up on the doc mac servers. I have to assume it is querying the dot mac servers for this data, as there is a 5 second lag or so before this list is populated.
Its as though Aperture created the web gallery, but then never actually uploaded the images..
Anyone else seen this?

Well its definitely a software bug, I just created another new album with a slightly different name and it looks like the photos are now uploading and properly showing up.

Web gallery links no longer work from iWeb

I previously added links directly to my web gallery photo albums as external links in iWeb. This no longer works. For instance, I used to be able to send people to a specific web gallery album by linking to gallery.mac.com/username#xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the number of the album. This recently stopped working however. iWeb seems to change the # sign to %252. Anyone know what happened?

Kurt:
FWIW here is some info I gleamed from various sites on naming sites.
Renaming a website or webpage
You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]/iWeb/[SiteName]
Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.
Hope this helps.

Font selection view control in Web Gallery

LR4.1 RC2
I wanted to be able to change the font type from the UI panel using a font select popup.
This control really only seems to exist in the inbuilt edit modes (eg: id plate and watermark) so I have tried a workround which seems to work OK so far. Maybe it will help someone else out working with webengines.
Mac/OSX only at this stage - good source file in Windows may be font.inf but would require a bit of parsing or get a folder listing somehow.
Basically I read in the contents of the fonts.list file - which appears in the OSX fonts folders - and then massage the contents to get a raw list of the fonts.
This raw list is then read into a lua table and consumed by the UI popup control.
Should there be an obvious way that I haven't seen then just give me time to find a banana to eat ... anyway here goes -
Changing the font type for the cell index numbers.
Grid cells use cellIndex to give the photo number and in my webengine the css class is .itemNumber
Data Model references -   Note:   %s is important for select to work - if %q is used select will work but font won't change ( %q adds quotes to the string ).
            ["appearance.itemNumber.font"] = function() return string.format( "%s", nonCSS.itemNumberFontSize .. "px " .. nonCSS.itemNumber.font ) end,
            ["nonCSS.itemNumberFontSize"] = 60,
            ["nonCSS.itemNumber.font"] = "inherit",
            fontlistpath = LrPathUtils.child('/Library/Fonts','')    -- OSX Default fonts
Code just prior to LR UI Views -
        deffonts = templatepath .. "/pgresources/" .. 'osxdeffont.txt'      -- templatepath is the root path of the webengine - this is the tweaked OSX fonts.list file
        function readFontsFile( deffonts )
            local fileLines = io.lines( deffonts )
            ff3 = {}
            for line in io.lines(deffonts) do
Filter lines here ...
eg:   -
                line = string.sub(line, 17)   -- remove 1st 16 chrs        (/Library/Fonts//Osaka.ttf)
                line = string.gsub(line, "(.ttf)", "")
                local kline = line
                   local vline = line
                   table.insert(ff3, { title = kline ,value = vline })
            end
        end
LR UI View for font select -
            f:popup_row {
                title = "Font family :",
                bindingValue = "nonCSS.itemNumber.font",
                items = ff3,
                bindingEnabled = "appearance.itemNumber.display",   -- control should be disabled if display checkbox false
                tooltip = "Choose wisely Dave!",
Using this method is not perfect but gives a good selection of fonts - I found that to improve the success rate the default font file was copied into the webengine
resources folder and tweaked. eg: the default file gives Brush Script.ttf but I needed Brush Script MT to work, similarly with Arial Rounded Bold which needed changing
to Arial Rounded MT Bold
Basically to find the correct descriptions you could do far worse than to use the ones in the edit selections used by the ID Plate/watermarking features.
            Well there you go ...
As an aside I did try an undocumented control which on double click popped up a system font selection dialog (the whole nine yards) but couldn't get it to link to the css class so I didn't persist - not a good idea to use undocumented controls but can be fun to play with.
    f:font_picker {
        font = "Copperplate",     -- showed font as highlighted when picker opened.
        width = 80,
        value = "Arial",    -- appeared on control (title ??) - this value only changed according to the font selected after double-clicking on another hidden control (f:image_well)
        bindingValue = "nonCSS.itemNumber.font", -- linkage didn't work
Again, unless I missed it, it would be really good to have the font_picker documented and working for the web gallery views. Fonts seem to be a murky area -
probably accounts for the hassles I am getting with the watermarking feature as well.
Update :
If the font doesn't work try using the PostScript name as a value which invariably works.
eg: Handwriting - Dakota will not work but Handwriting-Dakota will.
     Arial Bold will not work but Arial-BoldMT will.

I don't think that there is any option to set the default view in the web album. If anyone has found an option to do this, then I will like to know as well.
Quite a lot of the settings in web album seams to be "hard coded" and only a few settings are available for users to control.

How do I save a LR web gallery?

Hi,
I have created a web gallery using TTG template, and exported the gallery for upload. However, before I finish in LR3 with the gallery, is there a way to save the gallery and all the settings for potential editing downstream?
Thanks for any help (pretty new to LR)

You can always save your settings as a template - in the left panel of Web.
But a tip is to save the gallery's pictures as a new collection. A collection, as well as grouping images from one or more folders, also quietly remembers the last Web settings which were applied to it.
