found this a few days ago, been on the search for a useful non-flash gallery for my website. tried it today and instantly decided to donate.

thanks alot, payment sent and now i can work through removing the flash galleries from my website.

One question : on my PC, the display time of the first picture of the galery is not the time I set in the panel. it is always the same, around 1000 ms or something like that, anyway less time than the time the slideshow control design take to disappear (and it’s not possible to see the first picture without the slideshow control).

Is it something wrong with what I set or is it due to elegance?

Anyway, nice job, I’m going to use it on my website with TTPAGES.

Eric

Is there some way to put carriage returns/line breaks in the image info/labels tab? If you want to put a lot of information there it would be nice to have the caption on the first line and everything else on the next line.

Great web engine!

It’s my only hand coded Auto Indexer

Just to add my vote for Michael’s requests for some form of thumbnail scroll and the next/previous buttons.

For number 3) I added a bit of Javascript to header.html in the elegance.lrwebengine directory and this adds a pop up when a user right clicks. I know a determined user can get the image from the cache but it may deter the casual downloader….

Thanks again Timothy…. keep up the good (plugin) work

I believe that if you have Lightroom preferences set to “save settings with catalogue” you will need to register for each new catalogue, but if you choose another location to save your settings it can be read by al catalogues.

I have my settings for templates, web galleries, export settings etc… located in Users>(My User Folder)>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Lightroom>Web Galleries

Sorry I’ve not tested this before replying to your question, but it’s very late and time for bed! I hope it works for you. I’m on a mac by the way; a PC would be somewhere different, but look for application support.

Thanks for the great work you’ve done. I like how your galleries index is configured on your webpage. I’m using TTG Pages,Auto Index,and Stage along with elegance to create my own site. Your gallery thumbnails appear to work very similar to the auto index feature from TTG, but your text and box color appear OVER the thumbnail rather than behind it. Is this something you coded yourself, or is it something someone like myself with limited programming abilities could do? Perhaps it’s a question for Mat at TTG.

Thanks a million for your designs!

Just one thing: I have to register Elegance on each Lightroom catalog I have. Couldn’t it be done just one time for all the catalogs?

And thank’s also to JP Reding for his wordpress integration post.

Couple of requests though…
1. Thumbnail scroll, If I wanted to have one row OR one column with 20 images, it can get a bit messy, if you made this scrollable like how they do it in the “airtight simple viewer” it would be perfect. I know your script is done with html/java but I am sure this effect is achievable? Also if we can control how many rows and columns that would be nice as well.

2. Using mouse scroll to browse through the photos

3. Add the option to disable right click

4. Add Next/Back Buttons.

I hope some of these features will be added into the next versions.

It took me some time to figure out how to include the HTML in my WordPress post so I wrote a blog post explaining how I did it and including links. It is pretty simple once you have the right plugins for both Lightroom and WordPress.

here’s the post link for those interested: http://www.jpreding.com/?p=798

Thanks again Timothy!

Tim

Only request would be to have the percentage that is shown during loading (the actual numbers) such that it is disabled (i.e. only the progress bar is shown). I may just spend some time working this out it dreamwever, but it would be nice if it was an option.

Thanks a ton.

Anyone else see this – I can’t reproduce it.

My server logs show that less than 0.3% of my visitors use Firefox 2 or lower, so it might be hard to get this sorted…

Tim

See you all

I have solved my problem by manually adding the “thumb” files (automatically created by the Elegance template for each album when exported at this place:Album name>content>bin>images)at the root of each album on the web, and renaming them into “thumbnails” (see the explanations here:http://lightroom.theturninggate.net/special-purpose-templates/ttg-xml-maker/). By this way, my index page displays random thumbs for each album.
But is there a way to do it automatically? Because the updating of all the webgalleries is now very long…
If not, it would be a great thing if a later version could do it automatically!
(And sorry for my bad english: I’m a poor french guy!

First, I’m using Elegance with TTG Auto Index, and I find it’s a great work, thanks!

One wish for a later version: the same as Juergen Koslowski second wish!

Nevertheless, I need an explanation about the way to display thumbs on the TTG AutoIndex first page working with Elegance:
I wanted to display random thumbs from each album, but it doesn’t work for me… So I have tried to choose one thumb in the thumb file from the album on internet; my thumbnail path for each album is: http://site address/index.php/Album photos/Name of the album/content/bin/images/thumb/Name of the thumbnail
Is it right? It still doesn’t work…

You can see my Elegance webgalleries here:

The arrow keys work fine on both Safari and Firefox on a Flash gallery that comes with Lightroom but the keys do not work on either browsers on a html gallery that I tried.

Great you can choose no or less fading on the thumbnails. I am going to use Elegance on my website soon and I will send you a link when it is done.
