Hello Everyone,

I dont know if anyone can help me here but currently I am using LRGOne within Lightroom as a gallery for clients to view my images and purchase view the use of paypal.

My question is, is there anyway I can adapt the template, so I can have my Client Viewing page the same as my galleries but when they click on the image I dont want it to load the image, I want it to load the page where their images are, obviously which will be password protected.

I just wanted to know if there are any IT people out there who would be willing to help me out, or help find an answer to my query.

Many Thanks
Jamie Palmer
 
Hi Jamie,

Not really an expert but I have done a few sites. I think you may want to have just a tile link (e.g. one image for the clients set) on your main page. That image will be a link to another page with controlled access. Think that's what you mean? :thinking:

For html it maybe that you use .htaccess there is a couple of tutorials here about how to do it, or google around to see how it works

Someone else may be along with a better idea. Could probably do it better with .php but I imagine you want an easy html way by your post.

Have a look at this:- http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/
 
I am already using .htaccess for my password protected files. Its not the links thats the problem it's the gallery to hold the clientviewing screen.

Basically
http://www.jp-photography.co.uk/ClientViewing/JamesCharlotte

username: talkphotography
password: 963852741
But when you click on the image it loads it up larger and has options for purchase, etc. All that is fine.

What I want to do is use the exact same format but have a different client's picture in each of the boxes and when you click on it it loads their webpage up and not the image highlighted in the thumbnail :p

The gallery above was made in lightroom and has many different links and files, not just a single index page that i can edit you see.

Hope Someone Can Help
Many Thanks

You could replace the current client viewing page with a page created manually but with the cover image of the client and link each image to the directory of the clients photos.

For example you could use a photo of the punto and link it to the directory you sent us to (JamesCharlotte).

**For example using this code for each client**
Code: 
<a href="http://www.jp-photography.co.uk/ClientViewing/JamesCharlotte/"><img src="http://www.jp-photography.co.uk/ClientViewing/JamesCharlotte/bin/images/thumb/IMG_3973.jpg" alt="Talk Photography" width="152" height="89" border="0"></a>
<br>
<a href="http://www.jp-photography.co.uk/ClientViewing/JamesCharlotte/">Talk Photography
</a>

You would have to update this manually every time you add a client though!
 
Yes that's what I was thinking I would have to do, I understand this is going to be tedious having to replace it each time for each time I get a client.

Do you have any other solutions? So that it would be updated easier? Or will I just have to suffer?
 
Well then Jamie, as far as I can see it is just a case of the structure of your site - You need a page in between what you have just sent and the main index page.

The image thumbnail of your index main page will hold EACH clients pic (One) -Which will basically be a Hotspot or link/gateway if you like to the page you just showed us Only they would have to be seperate pages per client. It will be those individual pages that will have the htaccess or protected access

Basically what I was talking about before. I think :D

Well not really, you'd create the page for a client regardless, wouldn't you. So no extra work there providing you just keep the same format (CSS) all you need to do each time is add a new thumbnail and a link to your new page. Dont think it will be that much EXTRA work.
 
Yes thats exactly what I mean, basically a seperate page that will link to lots of different pages like the one I just sent you.

I think the only real solution is the one johnsy send, but that would require individual changing of the gallery for each new client. I wish there was an easier was of doing this :( lol
 
Well,

1. First supply Contact Sheet - with check marks

then

2. CD of Images required - Paid for!!... ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
hahah that would make life sooo much simplier lol, but most people I take photos of prefer to view them online before making purchases, dont know why lol.
 
jamie as you are on my server for webhosting install one of the photo albums on there i think there ( you have unlimited usage so try all 2 if needed )

should be one for password protection for each project or no password

now what i would do is upload only one image and link it to the exact file system in the photo albums on the software if it will allow you or the client to view only the album you want them to see and only use this system for the clients

all other photos use lightroom as normall

give me a call or pop on msn i can explain it a bit more

if you can link a picture in lightroom this would be by far the easiest way to do this
 
Thanks for the info Alex,

And I wanted a way of doing it all in Lightroom, if not then it's no problem as I can manually do it anyway.

Thanks a lot and I will check out the photo albums :D
