TTG Photo Stack Gallery

Current version 1.0

Made by request, TTG Photo Stack Gallery brings Andrew Berg’s Flash Photo Browser to the Lightroom Web module. The gallery is quite simple, the only configurable options being image and thumbnail sizes, site title and background color.


TTG Photo Stack Gallery 1.0


Download | Sample Gallery | Adobe Forum Thread | Installation


Achtung!!

The gallery requires PHP. It will not preview in Lightroom, and it won’t run from your hard drive. To see the gallery, it must be on a web server running PHP.

Changelog


v1.0 (2007-08-07)

Initial release.

I would if I’d created it, but I didn’t. I only made the Lightroom component. You should contact Andrew Berg.

it’s possible to disable right clicking (make img tag, copy image location and open image in new window)? For image protection ?
Thanks you

I’m afraid not. I didn’t design the Flash mechanism, and it doesn’t include support for disabling the right-click menu. If you want that, you might look into my other Flash galleries.

Hi. I have dotmac and I make the website on Iweb. I have lightroom and have been export them onto their own pages, also using html snippets to incorporate it into my existing iweb pages.

I have been trying to figure out the php thing. I see the form and edited the file, but I am not sure if my server has php. What shoudl I do? Is it that dotmac has to have php running?

Please let me know. Thanks.

I am trying to use the form for my photo clients.

Jen,

Any good web service will be running PHP these days. It’s pretty much standard. Just upload the gallery to the server and see if it works.

Hello,
I get nothing after installation of the product, but a white rectangular box. Any idea what I have done wrong? I run 10.5.1, and am running Lightroom 1.3.1

Cashaw,

As the documentation says above, the gallery requires PHP to run. That means the gallery will only run from a PHP-enabled web server. It will not run from your hard drive, and it will not preview in LR.

To use the gallery, you’ll have to set the options blind, then export. Upload the files to your web server. If your web server has PHP installed, the gallery will function.

I love this gallery and am using it a bunch on my niece’s site, but recently am noticing some of my pictures pop up on other people’s flicker accounts. I noticed above that there is no way to disable right click … is there a way to add a copyright disclaimer on the background portion of the gallery, perhaps just above Mr. Berg’s copyright?

Matthew

Jason,
Unfortunately, there isn’t. You would need the FLA file for that, and it’s not distributed with the gallery.

Which of your wonderful galleries would you recommend for use to disable right click?

Matthew

MonoSlideshow. Be sure to disable the links in the Image Info page in LR's Web module.

Also worth noting that nothing you put on the Internet is going to be 100% theft-proof. It's just a matter of how difficult you make it for people.

Matt,

this gallery is awesome and I am using it now as my standard reference, great job done !

I would like to know if you either thought including an option to include an mp3 file so the final web rendering is a little bit empowered?

Regards from Paris !
Gilles.

Hi Gilles,

I didn’t design the Flash portion of the gallery, so can’t add features. I only provided the Lightroom interface. You might try asking Andrew Berg to update the gallery with support for MP3 files.

Hello again Matt,

it sounds there’s a bug in your application since I noticed it does not export or upload all the files (jpeg).

For instance I have a directory that contains 402 jpeg files which I succesfully imported in LR 1.3.1, got all files selected and uploaede to my web server using TTG Photo Stack 1.0.
I did another try in exporting locally on my desktop to compare things. Problem is the same.
The settings I did change are Title & background color, all others have been left by default.

The result is that both images & thumbs directories contain only 200 files, is that a serious limitation ???

There’s no limit issue on my web server and I did not get any error message while uploading.
Most of filenames are 8 character long, standard ASCII, sometimes in lower case or upper case, the biggest filename is 12 character long.
Filesize ranges from 30KB to 3156KB.

I then decided to compare thumbs & images with my initial directory content and it seems that your application does not include all files. Even in the very beginning of the listing, 2 or 3 files were bypassed for some reason.

Any idea how to workaround this problem?

Cheers,
Gilles.

Gilles,

Open the gallerymaker.xml file. On line 17, the maximum gallery size is set to 200 images. Increase this number to whatever value you like and try it again.

Cheers,
Matt

Hello Matt,

thanks for your quick reply. It did modify the gallerymaker.xml file per your instructions, and it works perfectly now.

Thanks again,
Gilles.

See: http://www.buddhapada.com/greenwindows2/

Andrew Berg’s name not visible. At least in Safari and Firefox. Not sure what IE does with it.

Hi Shecky,

Not sure how they managed to get it without the name, but I’ll look into it.
