Adobe Lightroom Gallery Plug-ins

[Impspeed]

Can anyone point me to any online resources used with Lightroom 2.2 (2.0) for flash galleries.

I am currently developing my site and which I am comfortable with basic HTML I struggle with Flash and find LR's web gallery creator more than adequate.

It would be nice if I could insert my own logo and change a few bits of text etc.

Any help appreciated.

You can edit the HTML file generated by Lightroom, that is what I do, gets away from the obvioulsy generated by Lightroom look, but is still dead easy to do!

How do I go about editing HTML galleries - in Dreamweaver or something simpler? The main reason I like Flash is it is "more difficult" to take images although I know they can simply print screen the fact they cannot right click can often put people off.

Okay, lets not call it HTML, nowadays it's xHTML, much cleaner code.

I specifically recommend Dreamweaver, which does have an awesome galleries/slideshow tool, fully editable and extremely easy to use. Add to that the free online Dreamweaver Collaboration site, you will probably have everything you want.

Lynda.com does two excellent Dreamweaver training courses which are suitable for both advanced and beginner levels, and dare I mention the word torrents here?

Another one worth a look is Memories on TV which now boasts a web show add on.

You can also add a script to prevent people right clicking and taking your pictures, beats copyright anyday. Such as this one simply pasted into the body tags. The var message is of course editable.

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--

var message="Right clicking is disabled!";

///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE4(){
if (event.button==2){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}

function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")

// -->
</script>

Dreamweaver is probably overkill for this sort of thing, plus it is bloody expensive! I use a text editor with code highlighting (Smutron on the Mac, but Notepad++ is great for the PC, both are free).

To edit them you need to open the folder that Lightroom has created, then edit the index.html file, I add a standard header and footer, then resave before the upload.

Sorry, I'm not very good at all this - second post of mine you've had to alter. I promise I'll behave!

No worries impspeed This thread covers about 3 different sections (Equipment, Processing and Web) so wasn't an easy choice for you. As the conversation has gone more to the web side I have put it here.
