Ah ha! Now I understand your problem. You didn't delete the XML prog. For Slimbox to function properly in IE6, you need to edit the index.html file after export and delete the first line, ?xml version=1.0?. LR puts it in there, and it messes things up in IE6.
My site explains this under the "IE6 Compatibility" heading:

Remove it and things should be fine. You'll have to do this for each gallery that you export.

TTG Gallery Index - Web module template

Hello,
I'm today releasing my latest project, TTG Gallery Index for Adobe Lightroom. TTG Gallery Index allows you to generate a gallery index from the Lightroom Web module.
Be sure to read through the documentation for usage instructions.
This is a 0.9beta release. Get it:
http://theturninggate.com/blog/ttg-gallery-index-for-adobe-lightroom
Also, there are a handful of known issues. If there be any CSS maestros among ye, I'd love some help squashing the bugs. Issues are documented at the above address.
Feedback/suggestions welcomed and encouraged!

I'm getting an error when I try and save a Web Gallery Index template for future use.
A window pops with an Internet Explorer Script Error:
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: 'return' statement outside of function
Code: 0
URL: agwpg://templateIcon:8/index.html
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
If I try and update the resulting template the line in the error
window labeled URL: will increment the number part of
'templateIcon:x' where x will increment to 9, then 10, then 11, etc.
Any ideas?

Web Module Edit Photo Border Flash Gallery

I am try to edit photo border/frame (color & stroke) in the Web Module.
This is not the thin lined rounded corner border around the whole plate.
Editing the drop shadow would also be nice.
Appreciate any members help.

Replying to myself.... I solved the problem by creating a new User Account in my OS. Solved the Lightroom problem and also a problem with Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, where it wouldn't open Bridge.

Flash gallery in web module not showing

When using the web module the flash galleries do not show anymore; there is simply a black screen in the center panel. The HTLM galleries show alright. The problem started a few days ago when I updated to Adobe Flash Player 11. Any suggestions?

I don't know that much about PC's, but you need to open the browser and click on the preferences, I think in the same way as you would do with a Mac and click on select javascript.
Rather than Firefox, get them to download a copy of Safari for PC from the Apple site.
Other than this I am not really sure of a solution, other than telling them to buy a Mac instead!!

Can LR Web module converting file name hyphens into underscores be disabled

Hi,
I have problems when creating webpages from within LR.
First I develop the RAW files and converts them to jpegs. Under Lightroom 3 I use the following settings under "Export location":
Export to: Specific Folder
Add to This Catalog: ticked
Existing Files: Choose a new name for the exported file
This is thus native Lightroom. For existing files the new filenames are generated with a hyphen follwed by a numeric suffix. as follows: for FileName.jpg this would be FileName-2.jpg, FileName-3.jpg.
Afterwards I use the web module with the TTG Highslide Pro plugin to generate the webpages. For each image on the page there is a link to the original image to download it. It is here where a problem occurs. With the above mentioend naming convention (adding a hypen when files do already exist) there is no problem at all to display the photos nor as a tumbnail, nor in the slideshow.
When trying to download the high resolution image however a problem occurs. The file can't be found. This is due to the hyperlink pointing to filenames like FileName_2.jpg and FileName_3.jpg. As the image itself is having a hyphen followed by a numeric suffix it can't be found when the link is pointing to that file using an underscore instead.
So to me that's a little problem as I am not at the steering wheel at any of the two moments where a naming convention is applied; the automatic filename generation at time of export from Lightroom and the change of the hyphen to the underscore when generating the webpage.
Any Idea how this can be solved? Or having an underscore used by the automatic naming in Lightroom, or using the hyphen (leaving the filename as it is) when generating the webpage with the LR web module.
I posted that question already at the TTG forum and got the following respnse from Matthew: "Lightroom's Web module converts file name hyphens into underscores. It's not something I have any control over at all."
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Patrick

I have the same problem in that filenames created with (for instance) photographer-place--year_month_day-filename.cr2 are exported by Lightroom 3.4.1 correctly, without change, into jpg versions, but TTG Highslide Gallery Pro (or, rather, Lightroom) forces a conversion eliminating the dashes and replacing them by underscores. TTG states on its website that this is unavoidable in the Lightroom web module, and recommends entering one's wishes in the "File Handling" tab within Lightroom Preferences.
However, my LR preferences include the standard File Name Generation option "Replace illegal file name characters with: Dashes (-)" so this would indicate that a dash is not regarded by Lightroom as illegal and therefore should be left alone. As is in fact the case on a normal export from a raw cr2 to jpg: no change in Lightroom and therefore no problem. But export via LR via TTG causes an unwanted conversion from dashes to underscores.
While searching the web I came across this old post http://thephotogeek.com/ttg-web-gallery-client-selections-lightroom/
which mentions the question as a LR2 bug.
I then exported a web gallery using LR's standard web template and here too all file names are converted from dashes to underscores, despite what is entered in LR's preferences. So my conclusion is that this remains a LR bug, and no fault of TTG.
I am delighted with TTG and couldn't do without it, but am still stuck with this issue which shouldn't need to be an issue at all, if only LR would leave things alone.

TTG Polaroid Gallery

TTG Polaroid Gallery brings
Christopher Einarsrud's Polaroid Gallery to the Lightroom Web module. Polaroid gallery doesn't allow for much customization (so little, in fact, that it only took me about 15 minutes to put this gallery together), but it does provide a fun and casual way to present your photo collection.

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

TTG AutoViewer Gallery

From the beginning of my gallery work for the Lightroom Web module, I had always intended to create a template for Airtight Interactive's AutoViewer. Despite Adobe's having already released a template for Airtight Interactive's AutoViewer, and because a handful of users have requested a TTG version of the template, I've finally completed TTG AutoViewer Gallery.
Like all of my galleries, TTG AutoViewer Gallery comes in two flavors:
An HTML-based template that includes a header, ID plate, etc., and a stripped-down Flash-based template that previews properly in both Windows and Mac versions of LR.
The Flash-version resembles the Adobe release, but adds support for image watermarking -- a feature not found in the Adobe version. The HTML version supports all of the options found in the Flash version, and a great deal more.

TTG Selection Gallery 2.0 released

TTG Selection Gallery has been updated to 2.0. This is a major update and marks the gallery's transition to a Lua architecture. The gallery utilizes TTG Slimbox Gallery 2.24 as a foundation, and therefore exists in feature parity with that version, supporting annotations, color labels, ratings, ID plate, a wealth of customization options and more.
TTG Selection Gallery is constructed with the photographer-client relationship in mind. The gallery allows clients to mark selected photos, and to submit them with a message/comments to the photographer as an email form. Selections and then be easily isolated in the LR Library using by copying and pasting and selected filenames en masse into the Library's Find pane.
The gallery employs Slimbox, allowing clients to view large-size images in an overlay without disrupting their selections.

Matthew,
As ever, you are correct about the lack of spam resulting from the PHP file.
My next question is, following the discussion with Judith in a
different thread, I can see what she means about the desirability of being able to annotate the thumbnails, however briefly.
I've hacked transformer.xslt thus:
        <tr>
                <td class="imgShadowLeft"></td>
                <td valign="middle" class="checkBoxBg">
                <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="image[]" value="{$filename}"/>
+               <p class="galleryCaption"><xsl:value-of select="$title"/></p>
                </td>
                <td class="imgShadowRight"></td>
        </tr>
and now it adds the content of the web module title field in below the pictures. So by editing the web title field I can put in more or less anything, and of course turn it on and off.
However, try as I might I can't typeset it using the <ag:formatted> method that appears in the same thread referenced above.
I realise it gets used as the "alt" field for the images in the thumbnail view, I'm more than happy to hack that to just the filename for my purposes; am I missing something about why I can't typeset it?
I tried the same trick in Slimbox and it works but it rather upsets the proportions a bit, so I doubt I'll ever use it. However, it could be a "feature for the next release"; I like it because it means I can use the Web Module Title field for the thumbnail caption and the Web Module Caption field for the preview caption, either or both of which can contain the actual image caption and/or title.
I think it's a good step in flexibility, anyway! I'll be continuing to hack and dabble at it, but my question about typesetting it remains!

Web Module Export Settings

I import as dng and then using these create collections which I upload to my website. The images look horrible. What internal settings does LR use when it takes the dng and does the conversion for the web?

yes quality is at max 100, actually there seems to be quite a difference between the home page shot (ozphoto.org) of a model with her hand to her face vs the same shot in the gallery index under portrait.
The home page is TTG Pages and the portrait is Slideshow Pro and in both of these I have used the best settings.
Although in on my screen in the develop or library module on either one of my monitors the images are sharp?
The web module and the web seems to be degraded

TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery

A heads up for Web module users: my next project, TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery, is now in a solid beta state, nearing public release.
The TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery template will, of course, be a free download. However, MonoSlideshow is not a free gallery. Users will be required to shell out the $19.95 to www.monoslideshow.com for the SWF file in order to use the gallery.
More information to follow at the time of release. For now, you can play with a demo to get a feel for MonoSlideshow's options:

TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery 1.3 is released. In this version, Stage dimensions and background color are finally honored and displayed within the LR preview, and can be configured directly from the Site Info panel. There is no longer any need to choose or edit the MSSwrapper.swf file. All of this means that the gallery is easier than ever to configure from within the LR Web module, with improved visual response to changes.
Many thanks are owed to Joe Capra, at http://www.lightroomgalleries.com, for his Flash work on this release.

How do I use the Web module to upload video to my website?

I'm using the Lightroom HTML gallery to upload my photos, fine and dandy, very happy with it. I also have some videos trimmed in Lightroom that I want incorporated into the gallery. This doesn't seem to be happening, instead I just get thumbnails. What/how do I incorporate my video clips into my web gallery? I moved over from jAlbum so I could have a simple one-tool workflow, so I'm really hoping that this is possible.

You can combine stills and video for output to h.264 (mp4 file) for example to upload to Youtube or Vimeo.
FTP upload will be subject to the limitations of your host. The web module within Lightroom creates all resources to link to the file index.html
The forthcoming LR6 is anticipated to have HTML5 galleries.

I want to use the Web module to publish to the a website... What kind of server do I need to be able to publish my website?

I want to use the Web module to publish to the a website... What kind of server do I need to be able to publish my website?

You don't need a server, you just need a web hosting package such as the ones from GoDaddy or many other hosts. You then send the web gallery directly from LR to your web space.
As you're asking such basic questions, it might be best if you read articles like this and see if a friend or colleague can get you started.

How can you develop photo galleries with multiple pages using the web module?

Going through the web module I can see there are many options for developing a web page with a single collection of photos. How can you develop a web site with multiple pages containing different categories of photos using the Lightroom web module?

This thread will give you several ideas.
Re: How do you embed a gallery into an existing website?

Links in Adobe Lightroom Web Module

Does anybody know how to add links to other pages in the Web Gallery creation module.

Er.. I do..
So do a few others, but it's not necessarily easy. Better off going to http://www.lightroomgalleries.com and using some of those galleries and editing them.
