Titles/Captions in Web Gallery

I have Lightroom 1 on a PC.I am producing Web galleries but cannot work out how to title each photo in the gallery with a different name. I have tried typing in, in both titles and captions, but in each case, the first name I type in is applied to every photo in the gallery. If I switch to the second image in the gallery and type in a second title, it again is applied to all of the images in the gallery.
I would appreciate some help.
Thanks

Different titles and captions for each image need to be entered in the metadata panel in the Library module. Sounds like you are trying to edit the custom field in the Web module, or you likely have multiple images selected in the Library module.

Ampersand in Title/Caption for Web Galleries

You probably all know this already, but I didn't...
I've been getting to grips with the
Sean's tip for formatting captions in web galleries, including
Matthew's Slimbox gallery. As you'll see in the thread linked above, I had some trouble initially using it with Slimbox, but I thought I'd got to grips with it until...
A title for one of my pictures was "Beer & Blues". By that I mean the Title field in the Library module, as distinct from the Title field in the Web Module.
In Flash galleries it works just fine.
In the LR HTML (and Slimbox) galleries using an & in the image title metadata field can cause a variety of symptoms including:
- just displaying a blank background and never getting round to rendering the gallery when Web module is selected
- replacing "Custom Settings" next to the Title/Caption radio buttons in the Web module with "Edit...", consuming 100% CPU, displaying the rainbow spinning beach ball of death, and taking several minutes to return
- apparently working but obstinately refusing to acknowledge any edits made
There appears to be some interaction between this behaviour and using the <ag:formatted> technique, but I'm struggling to pin it down.
All of these symptoms disappear by using either "and" or "&" in place of "&".

Sean,
I'm sure you're right and that's what's happening. I have no excuse for not realising although I did track it down by a process of elimination.
Anyway I know
i now!

Align title in bridge web gallery, change font of image names.

I have a web gallery that was created in Adobe Bridge (slide show template). I have most of the customization done that I want.... except for 2 issues:
1. I would like the gallery title to be right aligned rather than the default left. I have, in the past accomplished this... but for the life of me, I can't figure out how I did it now! Any help would be appreciated.
2. I have given the images names.... how do I change the font color of these image names that appear?
Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

I haven't used the Bridge galley, but my first guess would be dig into the gallery's CSS. It's either in a CSS doc or in the head of the gallery pages, but it's sure to be in CSS somewhere. This would be for colors and font anyway,,, I don't know if Bridge formats wilt CSS or tables, you just have to open the documents in Dreamweaver to see.

Title does not appear in Lightroom web gallery

Hello, I have the "filename" set as the title in the web gallery (under the "Image Info" panel), but it doesn't appear in the preview window. It also doesn't appear when "filename" is set as the caption. Both the caption and title fields are blank. In fact, when I change the text to any of the other options (sequence, date, etc), still nothing appears, the field is blank.

Geoff:
I just did a test and the filename does not appear:
http://www.rokeachphoto.com/test2/
There should be a filename under the large image, but nothing...
I'm probably doing something wrong.

Web Gallery Titles

Has anyone noticed that the titles of a "Web Gallery" album don't show up in Safari using the "Mosaic" view, but do appear below the photo using Firefox (and are also there using the latest Internet Explorer on a PC). This assumes you checked the "Show photo titles" option when you published the album.
Jay

Jay:
I'm using Safari 3 and the titles do show up under the large photo in the mosaic mode. The only mode that the titles do not display is the carousel. It's the same for Firefox except the carousel gives me the Quicktime icon grayed out. I guess I don't have the QT plugin for Firefox.
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.

Syncing from mac to web gallery

I just published to my web gallery. I then updated the text to all the pictues in iPhoto. The next thing I know, my system resynced and all the text was replaced with the P9170033.JPG names that are shown in the web gallery on the web. How do I tell it to sync with the contents of my iPhoto?
Thanks,
Alfredo

is it possible that you updated your iPhoto photo titles before the web gallery sync completed? I just up dated on title in iphoto and forced a sync - the updated title remained in iPhoto and was synced to my Web Gallery
Try updating one or two then syncing and see if that does not work
If it does, be positive that the synce is complete and then do the rest (note that the sync icon seems to be out of sync with the actual sync sometimes - movies for example do not complete syncing for a long time after the sync icon indicated that the sync is complete)
Making changed to the iPhoto web gallery album while the sync is still in progress can create strange occurances (duplicate photos, etc)

Web Gallery uploads not updating iPhoto?

Okay, maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that when people upload photos to my web gallery, iPhoto then downloads those photos into its own copy of the web gallery the next time it is run.
I have a web gallery that started out with 79 photos. A friend of mine uploaded 37 photos, bringing the total to 116. Unfortunately, the only place this is confirmed is in the title of the web gallery when viewed on the web. It says (116) right after the title. The number of actual pictures displayed on the site is still 79.
Curiously, after updating the web gallery on iPhoto, the number increased to 80 from 79, but the web site still shows only 79 photos.
Any ideas? Do I have the concept of web galleries wrong?

In my case, web gallery albums to which people have tried to upload pics show in parens double the number I've uploaded via iPhoto, but none of their photos show up. I, and my friends have conducted many tests now and it seems no photos larger than 380K will upload from the web. No error messages, the little green arrow appears as if everything worked fine, but no pics show up.
I've provided feedback and emailed support and tried phone support - no glory - ah well, maybe an update is in the works - would really like to hype that feature.

How to add title/caption to each image in Bridge web gallery

Hi,
I am creating a web gallery within Bridge and I want to add a title and caption to each image in my web gallery. How do I do that? The only thing I see is the Site Info. section and that adds a title and caption to the entire web gallery (including each image) and I want different titles and captions for each image. There must be a simple way to do this I just haven't figured it out yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
ashmic19

Thanks Curt Y for your help. The thing is I have to use only Bridge. I looked up this problem on http://www.experts-exchange.com/ and they said it was not possible to add titles and captions for individual images (slides) in a web gallery in Bridge. They seemed to imply that this was overlooked. So I input what I could based on what was provided by Bridge and turned it in. Thanks to all who viewed and replied to this post. I appreciate it.

Needed: variable weblinks in flash web gallery title & caption fields

I know that one can put a fixed URL as custom text into a LR flash web gallery title or caption fields and simply click on that field in a gallery and go to that website. However, that URL is fixed and shows up for all images in the gallery. I would like the ability to have that URL vary by image. That is, I want to be able to setup custom text for a title or caption gallery field that inserts an image's certain metadata value(s) within a URL string. E.g., have LR web gallery custom text of the form:
click here for foobar
result in the browser going to URL held in the current image's title metadata.
This almost works now (LR v1.4) ... Such a custom text title displays correctly. And if I left click on it and choose "copy link", the correct URL is in fact there. Unfortunately a right click doesn't take me there as it would if the custom text was a constant URL string, instead of having one or more embedded image metadata tokens.

whoops, I didn't know that my post's example custom text string would be interpreted as a hyperlink :>) Here's the example text without the enclosing "a brackets".
href="{title}">click here for foobar

Variable weblinks in Flash web gallery title & caption fields

E.g., be able to enter for these LR Flash web gallery fields custom text of the form:
#A href="{title}">click here for foobar#click here for foobar#/A#
where "#" = enclosing html brackets
and where {title} is an image's LR title metadata (e.g., "http://www.foobar.com")
Left clicking on such a custom field should take the browser to webpage whose URL is held in the current image's title metadata.
This almost works now (LR v1.4) ... Such a custom text title displays correctly (i.e., just an underlined "click here for foobar"). And if I right click on it and choose "copy link", the correct URL from that image's metadata is in fact there. Unfortunately a left click just doesn't take the browser there.
This capability would be useful for providing image info which either won't fit (e.g., extended caption info) or is technically not easy to place (e.g., a dynamic *.mov pano view) on an image's web gallery page.

Just a comment about the web link in general -- Make sure your URL link actually works in the live /internet world. I have found that it doesn't. It looks great on your computer but when you actually build the web gallery, the link doesn't go anywhere.

Web Gallery Slide Shows: Music and Captions an option?

The title sums up the question. Can web gallery slide shows (on my .Mac account) be made to look and sound like the slide shows i'm running in iphoto - with captions and audio?

Mark:
You can get the captions to be displayed in the web gallery by running this script to move the description to the title field before you publish the gallery. After the gallery is published you can change the title back to the file name with the Photos->Batch Change menu option.
Have you considered using iWeb to create a photo page/slideshow and add the music to it. Here's a test page of such a setup. Be sure to read all of the comments on the linked page as there's a minor error noted in the script that is easy to correct.

How do I type captions to the photos my friends send to my web gallery ?

Web gallery is great...yet can I add captions like I did with my own photos?

Once you refresh your gallery in iPhoto and get the externally added photos to show, just change the title in the web galley and republish. The online photo will be changed to what you entered in iPhoto.
Do you Twango?

Adding title, dimensions, media, for art in web gallery

i'm a painter/sculptor, and would like to burn a web gallery or slide show of my work to cd to present to galleries, clients, etc. this looks like a great tool, with easy and clean templates.
while i can get a title of a piece to appear, i would also like dimensions and media to show, ie:
Arc
4" x 14" x 3"
acrylic and paper on wood
2007
is this possible? i could do it in Iview media pro under annotations i think, but working with that program at the time was a pain.
i would think photographers would like to enter info such as title, dimensions, what type of print, etc.
any help is appreciated.
thanks

Back from a long day at work and got round to investigating this.
Yes, I did have info in the Caption metadata for my images and it did show up in other galleries, just not the one I wanted. I started with the Flash gallery (default) and changed the background colour to white, added my own labels, etc. Ticking Title adds the photo title but ticking Caption does nothing.
I exported it anyway using just three photos and looked at the style.xml file in the styles folder (in the resources folder). Strangely, the behaviour to display the captions has been set false, even though I have ticked the option(!) Editing this to say true instead of false, saving the file and reopening the gallery now displays the caption. Weird.
There are actually two references to displaying the caption, the second one was already set to true. But if I specify I want the captions, why did LR set this attribute to false?
In any case, I created a new template using the default one and this works fine, so I'm not too fussed, just thought this might be a bug that others had experienced.
Kind regards,
MCV

Web Gallery Captions get lost

Love web gallery - spend time typing in all the captions to inform family and friends, wait for the upload, watch all the "pending" signs disappear, and then see the captions disappear once it's on the Gallery site.
Any ideas?
What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to speak to my machine nicely?
Please help - thanks.
Julian

Julian:
Others have had that problem also. A work around is to use this script to write the comments to the Title. The title is displayed in the web galleries. When you want the file names back just use the "Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name" menu option.
NOTE: Before compiling the script in Script Editor remove the one occurrence of the character Å in the script.

Web Gallery Captions

Using the Bridge CS4, in Windows XP,
what is the simplest and fastest way to include a caption or a title or the filename for each of the pictures of a web gallery when it is displayed on the browser?
Thanks

Unless you are able to modify the Code, do what I did and go for one of the many free gallery generators which are much more adaptable than Adobe's rather limited options.
