Working web gallery file locations?

LR3's ftp is timing out so I need to upload the gallery files with an ftp client. However, I can't find where it's putting the files to be uploaded. Where does it put them in windows 7?

Try using the 'Export' option, instead of 'Upload'. This gives you the opportunity to specify exactly where you
want to save your files.

Web gallery file size...do I have this straight?

I've read through the posts so far. I'm new to LR (waiting for my package to arrive, so still using the trial).
I set up a collection of 57 photos. Most were raw, the largest being 167,866 KB. (kinda large) I tried to upload from LR (thinking maybe it doesn't work in the trial version as I kept getting errors of one kind or another?) and found the total of the files was over 176,000,000 KB. Hmmm. So, I went back into PhotoShop CS3 (after another program that usually will batch convert files didn't work) and saved each with 800 ppi maximum on a side, and saved them all for the web. (That took a little time, but not too bad.) Then I had to import the new .jpg folder, and re-edit each photo to maximize their exposure and such.
Must I do that every time I want to post a web gallery? In other words, I'll have to keep the original (larger) files, and make a smaller set for web plublishing, and convert everything to a .jpg file as well? (I suppose there's no sense in filling my server with photos that are much larger than necessary, but it seems like a lot of extra work.)
Also notice, if I have to start again (it is taking a long time, but then it's my first attempt), the collection I've saved has all the Identity plates and information I've typed in going back to Lightroom defaults, and the order of the photos goes back to random (after I've meticulously tried to put them in order). Hoping this is just because I'm using the trial again, but no way to know until the box comes in a few days (I hope).
The feature that caused me to make this purchase is the ability to do these galleries. I've been looking at templates, modifying them, and working on doing this, for quite some time now. When I saw it's just part of LR...WOW! I did get excited! What a useful and wanted feature!!!
It's more than one question, I know, but I've so many more! Will the learning every become adequate to do what I dream? (This last question is rhetorical, by the way.)
OMGoodness! I thought I saved the gallery in the Collections...clicked on it, and no pics, nothing I did (for the second time) seems to be anywhere. I have a LONG way to go in learning to use this tool correctly! Arghhhh! ... Last revision...went back into the folder, and everything is there. Wow! Guess I don't need it in a Collection. Awesome!

These files were scanned. I'm sorry, I forgot that. They're old pics. Some were in .jpg format, but most were in .psd format. I converted them to smaller files in the Save for Web Device in Photoshop. My next gallery will be shots from my Nikon D200, and I checked...the files are about the same size as yours. These scanned files were considerably bigger as the film was pretty old. Did quite a few of them previously to last night, and used a dpi (or is it ppi) of higher than 300 I did the last ones in. File size varied from 1,201 KB to 16.765 KB. (That bigger one was a 5X8 school shot.)
Will it normally send the files to the web full size and then just use the dimensions specified in the program? I have to check how much space I have on the server, but I do have another gallery I want to make, and I found a great plugin (here on the forum) to add mp3 music to the gallery. (I know, more space, but love it!) I figured 800 pixels on the longest side would be plenty adequate for viewing, and the gallery parameters are smaller, so that's fine.
One thing I don't understand, it asked me to place the files in "photos," but I don't think it uploaded a folder of "photos" to the web. However, it's obvious the files went. I was afraid if I used the export, I was going to have to upload the folder with my photo files to the server, but I think it handled that. I hope I get a user manual with my boxed product. It can't come soon enough! LOL
By the way, I successfully posted the gallery tonight. It's really great, and my son loved it. I am SO thrilled with this program!!!

Changing default jpeg compression for Web Gallery files

I have created several web galleries from both Raw and Jpeg files with Iphoto '08 that suffer from serious jpeg compression artifacts. I haven't found any way to change the compression amount to reduce the artifacts. Is there actually a way?

papasteveo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is no way in iPhoto for the user to manage the jpg compression of the web gallery photos. If the option for visitors to download the photos is selected the copy that's uploaded is compressed approximately equivalent to an Photoshop quality setting of 8 or 9 out of 12. The pixel dimensions are the same as the original unless the max dimension in the original exceeds 3054. The the file is resized to 3054 max dimension.
If the gallery is just for viewing the image is resized to 800 x 600 with additional compression.
You could manually replace the file with one that you've prepared but it would be very tedious as each file has it's own folder and the file name is changed to web.jpg (viewing only) or large.jpg (download). You would have to rename each file to be uploaded to the new name and make sure it's placed in the correct folder.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Web Gallery File Datestamp Unexpected?

O Learned Denizens,
I notice an "undocumented feature" that caused me some confusion. I scribe it here to save others the same confusion, maybe.
I use the Web module a lot to publish galleries. It rocks. I use
Matthew Campagna's web templates - they also rock. This behaviour is common to Jardine web gallery too, though - so I don't think it's Matthew's doing.
I have a desire to have a local copy of a site that I can test before uploading, so therefore I always "export" rather than "upload" from Lightroom.
I have a little shell script (MacOSX) that sniffs around the local copy of my site and, when asked, lobs any new stuff up onto the server. The basic plan is that I drop a new gallery into this area and then run the "upload" script.
When the gallery is written out, the datestamp on files that make up the mechanics of the gallery (pngfix.js etc) is the time of the files in the "master" gallery.
This means that my shell script doesn't upload the mechanics of the gallery by default (since the files are not "new") and means I need to recursively "touch" all the files in a gallery directory before uploading.
In unix-speak, I'd say the copy operation is being carried out with a "cp -p" operation by LR instead of a straightforward "cp". If someone could confirm whether or not the same thing happens on Windows that would be excellent.
It's not the end of the world but it did confuse me a bit, since the sites would work locally but not when I pushed them up to the server - obviously because they were incomplete, but that fact escaped me initially since they
i look
complete on first inspection, having all the relevant (but empty) subdirectories.
Since the "cp -p" thing is
i not
the default option, it seems that somebody somewhere has a reason for doing it this way. I'm just buggered if I can think what it is.
Damian

The Unix stuff is beyond me, but if you're using OS X, you might try using
FileBuddy to "touch" your files before uploading.
Also, I'm glad you think my galleries rock. Thank you! ;)

Can an Adobe Bridge web gallery slideshow file be inserted in Dreamweaver as part of the homepage?

Hello. I am designing the homepage of my first website in Adobe Dreamweaver CS6. And I would like for the page to include a slideshow that automatically plays as soon as a visitor opens the webpage. I am interested in using Adobe Bridge to create the slideshow using the feature "web gallery." The tutorials that I've seen describe how to create the web gallery slideshow, then show how it appears when uploaded to the web as an html file through FTP to a server. It appears as a separate page. And I notice that the web gallery file is an index file. I would appreciate knowing how to include the html file as part of the homepage. Will simply renaming the file from being "index.html" to something like "my_first_slideshow.html" make possible including it in the site structure? Or will doing so cause it and the files attached to it to be inaccessable when viewed in a browser? If it can be included in the site, is an <iframe> needed to be in the code for the slideshow to fit into? Thank you.

Maybe you best try this question in the dedicated Dreamweaver forum?:

Removing a web gallery album, even after the iphoto album has been deleted.

I have just created an Album of photos in iphoto, and then published the album to the web gallery. I was able to view the album via the web and my wife did too on a windows based laptop. I then went back to add 2 more photos to the album in iphoto, then again went back to see if they were uploaded too. One was and one wasnt, then the second one did after a couple of minutes. Now I have deleted the albums I created in iphoto, but I still have the link to go to the web gallery site and the album is still online with 24 photos. How can I remove the photos from my online gallery.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I'm still in honeymoon stage but of course loving my new imac. and .mac account.

I think your best bet is to post your questions on the iPhoto discussions. More people will see them there.
I have been using the web albums for some time. I have merely started iPhoto, then select the web gallery album you wish to delete. Click on the "Web Gallery" icon located at the bottom right hand side of the window. When it opens click on "advanced". You will see the option to hide the gallery on the web.
Now you should be able to go back to the album in iPhoto and delete it.

MS Frontpage problem with LR web gallery

When I try to manually add the web gallery files to the Frontpage application, they will not load up when uploaded.
Any thoughts?
Frank

I deleted the html view code and copied the code I made from a text file and pasted it. Still the same problem. I didn't go line by line comparison. When I published again, still the same.
On checking the activity, I see it won't load the first photo no matter what.
I am making an Airtight AutoViewer and will see what that does when I publish.

Web gallery not working for me.

Hi,
I've done this a lot on my old PC, but, I can't get it to work on my Mac now. I want to create a web gallery of a couple hundred print bannerheads, all EPS files.
I've filled out all the meta data. I've filled in a location, a save location.
But, when I click "save," it tells me that the "save location does not exist."
So, that didn't work. So, I tried making a PDF instead. There it tells me that "there is insufficient disk space to complete this operation." I've got hundreds of gigabytes of disk space.
So, Bridge isn't really doing much for me right now.
Thanks,
Peter

I got a similar problem. I'm trying to use the output feature to create a contact sheet. I get the "insufficient disk space" message also. There are only 3 images that are being included in the operation, all around 3 megs. I have over 290 GB available on my hard drive. I went to Preferences/Cache and used the " compact cache" feature, then restarted the software. Still no luck. I get the same message. How about some help, Adobe?!

How do I get my bridge web gallery to actually work in my photoshop website

Hi
Can anyone explain to me in simple english (please - as I'm just a learner) how I get my web gallery (created in bridge) to work with my photoshop website.
This is what I have done so far:-
(1) I've created my root folder called 'test'. It has 3 subfolders called:-
- 'page1' (which is my homepage created as said below)
- 'page2-gallery' (where I want my bridge web gallery to be)
- 'page3-other' (for another page link - not important here).
(2) I have also created a simple website in photoshop (my homepage said above), using the slice tool and have saved it by saveforweb. So I now have my html website file and which works when tested online. One of the slice segments is for my 'gallery' icon on the homepage which, when clicked, should go directly to my bridge web gallery created.
(3) I have also created a web gallery in bridge and I saved it applying the 'savelocation' as being in page2 of my root folder. But when I checked it online the 'gallery' icon on my homepage does nothing. I then tried saving the gallery to my root folder instead (i.e. not in the page2 of my root folder) but with zero results.
(4) I've then dragged the root folder's html file (my website's homepage) into dreamweaver, clicked the 'gallery' icon and tried to apply the page2 of my root folder file to the properties inspector's link box (bottom of dreamweaver workspace) - but this wouldn't work either.
I know that I must be close to solving this riddle and so can anyone help me please.

Web gallery still not working.

The web gallery feature is still non-functional. I used to use it all the time. Suddenly a few days ago I noticed that it simply does not work anymore. I highlight and event, click web gallery, it creates a web gallery in the left sidebar of iphoto. The little progress circle turns for about 15 seconds, then suddenly the web gallery from the sidebar disappears and it as if I never clicked on the web gallery button. All my old we galleries are gone. I tried deleting iphoto prefs and deleting to _gallery folder from my idisk. No luck. When I try publishing a movie in iMovie to the web gallery, everything seems to proceed correctly. It compresses and uploads. The when I click the link provided, I get Apple's version of error 404: no such website.

Ben:
See if you can upload a file, any type will do, to the Sites folder on your iDisk via the Finder. I had a similar problem. When I tried uploading a file to the Sites folder or any of its subfolders I would get an error message. I reported it to the iWeb and .Mac feedback sites. It went away for a while and then came back that same day and then went away. Apple did get back to me and checked my account. They reported all was well. If you do get an error you may have a similar to mine but one that's not correcting itself. Report you problems to:

Open files located in AS by using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Hi ,
I need to open some documents in the client machience, documents are located in the AS .
This method is working,
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://<server_name>:<port>/forms/java/myFile.doc');
but the problem is, documents should be in the ORACLE_HOME/Forms/Java or its sub path. but i want to keep the documents out side the ORACLE_HOME. Any body can help me?, i think we have to do some configurations in the formsweb.cfg or forms.cfg file.
Also, is there any other better solution to open the documetns(PDF/DOC/XLS) in the client machine, but the files are located in the AS.
Thanks in advance
Rizly

add another virtual directory to your forms.conf file referening the real directory outside your ORACLE_HOME
forms.conf is in same loaction as formsweb.cfg
eg
# Virtual path for all my documents PDF/XLS/DOC
AliasMatch ^/forms/mydocs/(..*) "F:\path_to_my_doc_dir/$1"
you have to restart your http server and OC4J forms services after modification

Im trying to publish a web gallery to BC, my settings seem correct but I'm still getting an error: FTP transfer failed ' unknown error'. Techs on BC, say FTP working fine. Please help!

Hey peeps,
Im trying to publish a web gallery to be hosted on BC. Despite having what seem the correct settings im getting an error: FTP transfer failed ' unknown message'. Have checked with techs on BC. They say FTP working fine that end.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried connecting to another FTP server in Lightroom?
For example, if you get a free Flickr account, can you login to it and upload a file to it?
If you can't upload to any server, then you have a general FTP-in-Lr problem, but if problem is only with BC then, well, it's time to start scrutinizing the BC settings..
PS - All my FTP'ing plugins have an enhanced FTP settings test feature designed to help you debug FTP settings, so another option is to download one of them, for example:
robcole.com - FTPAggregator
and experiment with settings tester:
To get here, you have to click 'View / Edit Additional Settings' (in plugin manager), then choose 'New' or 'Edit' from 'Sync Pairs' drop-down menu.
If test is unsuccessful, enable verbose logging (top section of plugin manager), and review the log file after test, or send to me.
If you have a problem running plugin, please contact me directly:

Flash Web Gallery not working in Firefox

I am having problems getting the following site working in Firefox, although it works fine in IE.

The folder structure is now as it should be and both HTML and Flash versions work off-line and in IE, but in Firefox the site hangs at the Loading Images stage. I have done a thorough search of this and other forums but can't find a solution.
Many thanks,
Adrian

Hi again,
Adrian, I am not sure if this is your situation, but I think my issue is with the folder structure of my web hosting account, though why it works in IE but not FF is still a mystery.
I focused only on the SimpleViewer gallery, as it didn't use the "bin" folder in its structure, as the default flash gallery does. Adrian, I wasn't sure from reading your post, but were you able to modify your default flash gallery engine to not use the bin structure?? If so, could you let me know, please? I can give it a try.
I uploaded to my redlineart.com redlineart.com/fltestsimple1 account, a Shaw account http://members.shaw.ca/kgamadia/fltestsimple1/, and exported locally to my hard drive to manually upload.
All sets had the same folder structure. When run in Firefox from everywhere, the only failure occurred on redlineart.com. My web log files show a 403 error when accessing the images (for the gallery). However, when I right click on the image and elect to open in a new window, it works. Permissions on the folder are standard 755.
The difference is that redlineart.com/fltestsimple1 translates to http://titan.arandomserver.com/MyAccountID/fltestsimple1/, but LR uploads to <home>/public_html/fltestsimple1. So the paths that the flash gallery engine is using is what I think is the issue. Internet explorer, loads redlineart.com/fltestsimple1 just fine, but fails to access it via http://titan.arandomserver.com/MyAccountID/fltestsimple1/. The HTML galleries work across the board, so for now I'll stick with them.
I hope this was clear enough. If there are any suggestions, I am able to try things out. Thanks in advance.

Uploading photos through web gallery not working.

People
When people access my web galleries and use the upload feature and it accepts the uploaded files, but, the photos don't appear in the web gallery or get synched to my iPhoto. However, using the upload feature through email does work!
Any ideas on that?
Also, once synched with web galleries on my iPhoto, how come the photos don't automatically appear in the event that the person uploaded the photo to in the fist place? The photos appear in the event under Web Gallery on iPhoto but not the actual event. Does that make sense?
Cheers
Al

Same prob here (EU).
Looks like uploading through the web interface (while browsing the web gallery) doesn't work.
E-mailing a picture works a treat, though...
Tried also using firefox (I'm on a MBP with all the latest software versions) but no luck!
I've looked also at the contents of my iDisk (it had to be in the loop!) and indeed found that the web gallery is under <.macmember_name>/Web/Sites/gallery/<id> and every picture that's in the gallery has its own folder named after the picture name containing 5 files: *large.jpg, medium.jpg, web.jpg, square.jpg and reflect-medium.jpg* (their meaning is quite obvious...)
The pictures I sent through the web interface didn't produce results in my iDisk whatsoever, while the one I sent using mail had this new folder-files created in the right way...
I think this upload feature is seriously flawed...

Bridge CS5 Renames Files in HTML Web Gallery

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?

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!
