Web Gallery in Lightroom HELP

Ok, so I want to use Lightroom to create a web gallery, which is easy enough, but I would like to use a different design other than the ones provided with the software. The included templates are fine, but are a little boring and look a bit dated.
Are there any websites where I can download more templates for Lightroom that have a bit more snaz to them?
A good example of what I am going for can be seen here: http://gizmodo.com/5508769/how-to-set-up-your-ipad?skyline=true&s=i
Granted, the page itself does not have a picture gallery but the flash transition that takes place when a picture within the article is clicked on is what I am going for with the webgallery that I am seeking to create.

Pete still doesn't ever include anything I make in his gallery list, even though I actually had the very first 3rd party gallery out for Lightroom many years ago. Anyway, only one of those links he gave will be of any use to you, and that's for The Turning Gate.
http://lr.theturninggate.net/html-galleries/ttg-shadowbox-gallery/
http://lr.theturninggate.net/html-galleries/ttg-slimbox-gallery/
These are 2 Lightbox based galleries, which is what is being used by Gizmodo.

I'm logged in to Creative Cloud, have saved a web gallery within Lightroom, and am trying to publish my first web gallery. All seems to be going well until it looks like it's almost finished and I consistently get the same message, 'An error occurred sen

Am logged in to Creative Cloud, have saved a web gallery, and am trying to publish first web gallery. Consistently get the same message, 'An error occurred sending the file : connection to the server failed'. Can somebody help me to resolve this?

Firstly, have you entered the correct FTP settings as given by the host where you are uploading to?
Next, try using Export and then uploading via an external FTP program like Filezilla. FTP from Lightroom isn't as robust as a dedicated FTP program.

Web Gallery from iPhoto - Help

I have published 3 albums through web gallery from iPhoto. For a few days, I would see in the left panel, under "Web Gallery", the name of each gallery, and the status, sync, being sync, etc. Suddenly, this bar only displays one, the other two are still accessible through .mac, I can see them, I also can see them in the preference area under web gallery, but again, they are not being displayed on the left organizer bar, so I cannot drag and drop, or see the pics there and edit when I want.
I do not know why would one published album be displayed, and the other don't..
Any clues??
Thanks

In the tab "web gallery" in the iPhoto preferences I can see the title of all three albums. In fact, I tell it to check for new photos, and for few second you can see them reappear in the organizer bar on the left, with the circling wheel like it is being synchronized, but they disappear fast, and forever gone!!. Again, I can see in the copy of iDisk in my desktop that the galleries are there, and in the .mac website, I can see them. But not in iPhoto.

Need help using WEB module in Lightroom 2 for .mac/mobile me accounts

Hello,
I need help in finding the Server path information for Lightroom 2. I am trying to use the Web module of Lightroom and build a website and instead of going through another hosting service, I want to use my Mobile ME account, can't I do that?
I have the user name and password obviously but what is the server path, protocol, path?
Help please!
Thanks
Ray

For those Mac Users using iWeb, MobileMe, and Lightroom 2, here are step-by-step instructions on how to create a web gallery in Lightroom, upload the gallery to MobileMe, and finally, how to link the uploaded files to the wesite you created in iWeb.
1. In the Lightroom Library module, create a collection of photos you want to display in your web gallery. For illustration purposes, we will call your collection Sunsets. Once created, it will be listed under Collections in the left panel of Lightroom.
2. Switch to the Lightroom Web module and select the Sunsets collection (from the panel on the left of the screen.)
3. Chose whichever template you like (from the list of Templates in the left panel).
4. Fine tune the appearance of the gallery using the controls in the right hand panel of Lightroom 2.
5. When you are satisfied with the gallery’s appearance, use your keyboard to type Command-S. That will save your template settings (give it a unique name when saving).
6. Open up Finder on your Mac. Inside your username folder, create a new folder… I'll call it Web Files. (You can choose any name you like, and locate the file anywhere on your Mac HD.) You have just created the folder username/Web Files.
7. Back in the Lightroom Web module, chose Export, at the bottom of the right panel, and export your gallery to the folder you just made (e.g. export to username/Web Files). By doing so, you will have created /username/Web Files/Sunsets.
8. Once again open Finder on your Mac. Go to /username/Web Files/Sunsets and you will see 3 files in the Sunsets folder: bin, index.html, and resources.
9. Open a second Finder window and in it, click on your iDisk icon. You will soon see all of the files on your iDisk.
10. In iDisk, click on the folder called /Web. You will now see the /Sites folder inside the /Web folder. I.e., /Web/Sites.
11. Drag the Sunsets file from your Mac HD to the /Sites folder on your iDisk. E.g, drag Sunsets from /username/Web Files/Sunsets on your Mac HD to the /Sites folder in iDisk /Web/Sites. The Sunsets folder (and the three files it contains) will now upload to your iDisk on MobileMe.
12. Open iWeb on your Mac. Add a new page to your website. Call it “Galleries,” or anything you like. (You can also use an existing page if you wish.)
13. On that “Galleries” web page (or on an existing web page), create a picture icon, or a word, or a symbol, or anything else that you will activate as a hyperlink to your iDisk web files - specifically, you will link it to the Sunsets folder you just uploaded to iDisk.
14. Activate the hyperlink in iWeb’s Inspector. In the URL box, type:
http://web.me.com/username/Sunsets (Don’t forget to substitute your name for “username” and the name of your gallery for “Sunsets.”)
15. Save your website in iWeb, and then publish your site.
You will NOT see your gallery in iWeb – you will see only the link to the gallery that you uploaded to iDisk.. To view your gallery, either make hyperlinks active, using the Inspector in iWeb and click on he link to the gallery, or visit your website on the internet. If you want to edit your gallery, you will have to do that in Lightroom… then repeat steps 7 – 11. You cannot edit your gallery in iWeb, but you can use iWeb to change the appearance of the link to your gallery, or to change it’s location within your website.

Keep CS5 HTML "lightroom" web gallery template from renaming files...

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to an arbitrary number. The caption reads as the original file name, but the actual image has a new name. This is problematic, as my clients will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
As an example: VLNK0321.jpg is renamed as _4856316150.jpg. (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
Is there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem? Can the script be altered to keep the original file name, not the ten-digit arbitrary number that it currently generates?
Thanks for any help offered!

I believe I've discovered the file/script that does the renaming. I've done some testing, and have been able to change the way Bridge does the changes, but not able to keep the original file name.
The file is "galleryCreator.jsxinc", found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts.
I'm not a code-guy, so I'm hoping that someone with more smarts than I can help. Below is the part of "galleryCreator.jsxinc" that does the re-naming. Simply deleting this entire part of the script renders Bridge unusable. So allowing the script to create the altername is important. If the alteration could consist of only adding the "underscore" prefix to the original file name, all would be well...
Here's the pertient portion of the script:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
        alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
            alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
        alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
    return alteredName;
I will send a check for $200 to the first person who can rewrite this to simply add the underscore first, then return the original file name instead of the random number generator, and make it work. Anyone?

Solved!
This works for Windows. I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
         alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
             alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
         alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
     return alteredName;
...with the following:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
                var alteredName;
                while (true)
                                alteredName = "_";
                                alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
                                var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
                                if (!f.exists)
                                                break;
                return alteredName;
You can cut and paste the above. Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
Cheers!

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.

Flash web gallery - style.xml start with slideshow in play?

When creating a web gallery with Lightroom, using a default flash template, a style.xml sheet is created. Does anyone know the line of code in that style.xml that sets the gallery to load with the slideshow in play mode?
thanks,
Donnie

Please excuse the bump...
Anyone with a LR flash gallery that starts with slideshow in play mode?
Can it even be set to do this?
The only code in the style.xml that looks like it might be realted is line 12 <playOptions playMode="pause"/>, changing that to "play" does nothing.
Thanks,
Donnie

Web gallery with feedback, and the viewer don´t sign in.

I´v noticed that if I´m making a web gallery in Lightroom 6 and not in the web module, but a collection that I´v synced, then I can share it on the web.
But if my client wants to comment or mark a photo then the client need to sign in to Adobe.
Can it be done without a sign in?
I would be so nice to have feedback on my shared web galleries without the other person have to sign in.

Create a spare Adobe account for yourself - eg [email protected] - and tell them to use it to login

Web Gallery in non-Flash format?

Are there any extensions or anything to allow Bridge to Export a Web Gallery into a non-flash format? In my site I am trying to pay particular attention to accessibility and flash is inherently non-accessible, and also does not work with some of the most popular mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, iAnything). Essentially I am looking for some kind of HTML5 Web Gallery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there -
I'd try posting your question over in the Flash general forum. You could also try the Flash site design forum. The folks over there will probably be able to help you solve your issue

Customizing a web gallery

I am designing a website for a friend. There will be a gallery page.
Can I create a web gallery in lightroom that allows me to use my own background images?
I don't want the gallery portion of the site to look so diffferent from the rest of the site.
Is there a way to create a gallery in Lightroom and then make changes to an FLA or HTML file?
I want to include my own background image and control the size of the images and thumbnails
Thanks

You can't rename the actual files from Web as they export. There's nothing in the SDK on it either.
Lightroom does change the naming to make it websage. For example, spaces are turned into underscores.
If you need sequential files, I'd suggest getting the files in order, then exporting the files as highest quality Jpeg with a sequential naming system.
Click the Add to Catalog checkbox, and perhaps use 'The same folder' and then use a subfolder for organistion.
Use these new images to create the web gallery.

How to reset the web gallery???

I have deleted all albums in iPhotos. However, one album cannot be deleted from the web gallery. How can I reset the web gallery?
PLEASE HELP!!!

In the finder go to your iDisk ==> Web ==> Sites ==> _Gallery and drag the folder(s) you want to delete to the trash

Adding Descriptions to Individual Photos in Web Gallery

I'm looking for an easy (or easier, considering my current method) way of creating a web gallery in lightroom that gives me the ability to add descriptions of individual photos.
What I've been doing thus far is limiting myself to only the galleries which separate the 'large' pictures in their own folder from the 'small' or 'thumb' photos. The small or thumb photos are the ones used for navigation. When one is selected, the large photo is displayed. I have been generating the galleries with Lightroom, opening up the Large directory, then opening every single large picture in Photoshop. Then I extend the canvas in the same direction for each photo, and write the description next to the photo and save it. That way, when you open the gallery, the thumbnails all look as they normally would, but when you click on them you're greeted with a large picture and a description.
This process is long, boring, and painstakingly annoying. I have done this for approximately 200 pictures thus far. The end result looks just fine, but my research into having Lightroom let me add visible descriptions has turned up nothing. Is there a template, engine, or anything else that will allow me to display pictures with some text next to it?

Haven't you looked at the Image Info panel in Web? You enter captions in Library, in its Metadata panel, and then tell Web to display them.

Bridge CS5 HTML Web Gallery renames images.

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to an arbitrary number. The caption reads as the original file name, but the actual image has a new name. This is problematic, as my clients will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
Is there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem?

No way to change it, it's a "feature." (Not!)
File a bug report. It makes web galleries useless for me.

Web Gallery missing from Sidebar

For some reason, my Web Gallery icon which lists all my published web galleries has disappeared from my iPhoto sidebar. How do I get it back? I can see my Library, Recent, Subscriptions and Albums sidebar items but no Web Gallery. Please help and let me know how to bring it back to my Sidebar listing alll my published Web Gallleries.

Same issue here - mine happened right after I did the October iLife update
In reply to CCRiders post - it's not the button in the bottom toolbar that's missing it's the actual previously posted gallery's that don't show up anymore in the SideBar, even though they're still posted.
The Galleries are still in the Web/Sites folder on the iDisk. They have a specific # which is why you can repost it with the same name and it doesn't overwrite it, instead it adds another one.
Weird 'eh!
