Web module generator

Hi,
Web modules have no built-in security functionality as you know and therefore a massive security hole. Is there a trick to add a password fence which works on every single module, so that no startup URL can bypass. I'm sure there is a solution around. HTML-DB has a built-in layer for authentication. I don't need user autentication but one simple (hidden) password input.

Web module generator: conditional formatting

Hi,
I'm trying to generate the following behaviour in a web module. There is a status code in the table and I want it to be colored red when status = 'error' and green when status = 'running' else standard color. The item property "Formatting" can't do this conditionally. Is there a way to do the trick using application logic ? It should be done server side in PL/SQL but there are no item level PL/SQL events. And on module component level I don't know how to formulate the code using WSGFL. Client side JavaScript seems not to be apt, isn't it ?
any help appreciated
regards
Thomas Dombrowski

The trick to this is to write your own server-side function. I have one called HIGHLIGHT in my LOCALWEB package, which you can get at http://www.smdi.com/employee/JohnF/sourcecode/localweb.zip. This takes three arguments, the condition for whether to apply the highlighting, the field or text to be highlighted, and an optional parameter to specify the highlight - a color or text style like bold or italic. The default is to conditionally put <strong> tags around the text.
You will need to add the package name to the list in the PKGLST preference. Look this up in the Design Editor's help, if you don't know how this works.

Web module generator security conflicts with DAD

Hi,
using the WSGSEC package for web module security, I'm running into issues related to the mod_plsql configuration. There are 3 values for setting session state behaviour (PlsqlSessionStateManagement) following to the dads.README:
1. StatelessWithResetPackageState (is default)
2. StatelessWithFastResetPackageState
3. StatelessWithPreservePackageState
1. and 2. work well when switching security off (preference SECVAL=N), but prevent successful logon (cookie cannot be stored or read correctly) and logon screen returns ever and ever.
3. allows logon but brings the "erratic behavior" mentioned in the README, mainly after DML operations.
How can I manage the session state for the generated application? Logon needs a preserved state, the generated application needs cleaning and resetting. Now, we are developing on Windows 2003 Server but production will run on HPUX.

Web modules: return hyperlink not generated

Designer Version 10.1.2.0.2 (shipped with ODS10gR2):
When generating web modules, the preference "Build return hyperlinks (MODBRL)" doesn't show the expected behaviour. No return hyperlinks are generated at all. I didn't use web module generator with earlier releases, so, I don't know if it was different there.
regards
Thomas Dombrowski

This feature uses a cookie to save the return hyperlinks that are to be displayed on the subsequent screens. Unfortunately, many people disable cookies in their browsers for security reasons. That could be why you aren't seeing the return hyperlinks. The feature does in fact work, but not for everyone, which is why I started hand coding return hyperlinks in the user text instead. It is more work, but more reliable.

Web module: exporting keywords to a template not possible?

I want to use the web module to generate my photoblog, however I need to be able to export the keywords or collections used to tag each image. The dialog box for changing the image caption allows you to export all sorts of EXIF and IPTC metadata but not the lightroom keywords.
I've already made a template for my website but the generated xml file produced by lightroom for the transformer XSLT script to process seems to have no information about the image keywords in it so I'm stuck.
I know the keywords are embedded into the actual jpegs that are exported but extracting them would be more effort than its worth, I dont want to have to run more software after exporting from the web module just to get the keywords.
Any ideas?

Looking at the XMP for a recent file, the keywords are stored as follows
     castle
     cloghan castle
     couple
     matrimony
     september
     wedding
So you'd need to figure out how to extract them from there.

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.

Web module: Galleries index page

Hello,
There is one thing that I would like to see in lightroom: The ability to create an index that link to all available gallery. Each gallery link could also have an index of the first photo of each gallery.
This would same me the trouble of having to create and maintain a gallery index by myself.

All files are error free. When i build the project it shows "build successful" When i run web module (index.jsp) it starts teh browser, but displays the error message "*HTTP - 503 Required service not available*". I'm using Glassfishv2 server. What is this error and how to fix it? Also i have a sequence generator in entity beans. j'm using oracle 9i database. Please help me to solve this. It is very urgent.
I have another question. How can i create a JFrame view class to my application client module. When i tried to create one it generated a main(0 class also in it. But i have a main class already.

Save your form before you run it, and save it to a directory without a space in the name.

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?

Customised Web Module

Would it be possible to have a feature in the Web Module to allow the user to add buttons to the generated website e.g Home, Galleries etc and allow these to be configurable as in the url and style. This would better facilitate the integration of the web galleries into the users existing website.
Regards
Trevor.

I'm posting a reply so that this is updated....
Fixed...After continous searching I ran across a tech talking to a user that had a very sluggish Lightroom problem (which I also experienced)... After following along, figured I could at least see if this helped the speed problem if not the missing image problem, well, everything was fixed... Turned out to be a corrupt preference file... go to... appdata/roaming/adobe/lightroom/preference... rename preference to oldpreference and restart Lightroom, see if that fixes any of your problems;)

Updating web module

Hi everyone
I am using LR 1.3 - Mac OX 10.4.X
I have previously created a template in the web module from images that I loaded from the library.
I then added this custom web module template and uploaded to my website.
Everything works fine until I come to update the web gallery using this custom template.
When I upload to the server or even export it, Lightroom is using the images and IPTC from the original template - in effect not updating the gallery on the browser.
Do I need to delete the template and images from LR and start again, surely it is possible to update a saved custom template with new images, but I cannot see how.
Thanks
Eric Whitehead

I'm a little confused by exactly what you're trying to do, but let me try to help.
1) If you're trying to add images to an existing gallery on your website, it cannot be done. You need to recreate the entire gallery from scratch -- select all of the photos, generate and export the gallery -- and completely replace the existing gallery on your server.
2) If you've selected images with which to create a gallery and moved to the Web module, the gallery should be generated. If you're attempting to apply a Template preset to the gallery, it should work ... UNLESS: You've updated the gallery to a newer version than that which was used to create the preset. Template presets need to be recreated when you update your gallery to a new version.
Does that address your issue?

V2.3 vs v2.4 web-modules in NetBeans

I'm using NetBeans v3.6 IDE (on Win-XP).
When I create a JSP-project, I first do the 'convert filesystem to web-module'
operation, which generates the WEB-INF sub-directory and creates
(among other things) a file named 'web.xml'. Inside that file, is information
relating to whether the webapp will be v2.4 (vs v2.3) conforming.
(Right now, it is generating v2.4 info.)
What I do NOT understand is what knob(s) to tweak if/when I want a
project to use the older V2.3 info.
(Simply 'editing' the generated web.xml file is clearly NOT what I think
is intended, as the FORMAT of the v2.3 does NOT have an explicit
version=x.y string like it does in v2.4.)
Also, I believe there is a later-step in Netbeans web-module development
where you do some other operation (that copies 4 .JAR taglibs into the
project area), and I suspect that this latter step is DEPENDENT on
first getting the v2.3 vs v2.3 decision setup correctly.
Can someone please CLARIFY my suspicions, and explicitly
state what these two steps are and how to be able to
have 2 separate web-module projects, where one proj
is 2.3 based and the other is 2.4 based?
TIA...
Dave

Hi Dave,
I'm afraid that NetBeans 3.6 doesn't have such feature to create your web.xml according to J2EE 1.3 (i.e. Servlet 2.3). AFAIK there is a description in help topic, how to upgrade/downgrade J2EE level of your web module.
However there is such feature in NetBeans 4.0 and 4.1 - you can set up your project's J2EE version when you create a project.

How to deploy my web module to J2EE server?

hi, i used forte CE to create my web module and its working perfectly when i run it through forte CE.
I've created a .war file for my web module through forte CE via the command Export WAR.
I've set up my J2EE server and its running cause i can go to its index page.
Now the problem, through the deployment tool that come with J2EE, I created a new application and add my .war into it. Next I tried to deploy my application .ear file. The deployment is successful.
But when I tried to access my application through the browser, I got this error messages:
A Servlet Exception Has Occurred
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPNote: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated.
An error occurred at line: 2 in the jsp file: /searchQRStatus.jsp
Generated servlet error:
e:\j2sdkee1.3\repository\psa\web\qrstatus\_0002fsearchQRStatus_jsp.java:65: Class org.apache.jsp.ConnectionBean not found.
ConnectionBean connection = null;
I got repeated similiar error msgs for all my javabeans, ConnectionBean is one of them.
It seems that the server cannot find my javabean .java/.class files.
I only use jsp/javabeans/html/ms access database with ODBC connection.
1) How to solve my problems?
2) Do I need to set up a new ODBC 32bit System DSN for my database again, since the location for the database is different after deployment?
any help will be greatly appreciated..............thankz

perhaps your J2EE server only has access to JRE and not JDK? ... you'll need the JDK to run JSP pages because they are compiled on-the-fly into servlets. just a thought.

Web Modules

Are there any plans to create a version of Headstart to support the generation of Web Modules out of Designer 6?
Ronald Maas.
null

Ronald,
If you mean web modules in the sence of webserver generated forms, then there are no plans yet. If you mean web modules in the form of webforms that Headstart is already supporting that.
If you meant the webserver generated form. Can you tell me what it is you are looking for?
Thanks and Regards,

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.
