Multiple Galleries on a Website
« on: April 22, 2009, 04:03:37 pm »

I have been looking at the web module and like the simple ability to create a web gallery.  However I can see no way of producing within Lightroom a page with multiple galleries.  The obvious way is to have a home page with links to the lightroom generated galleries.  However once in a gallery there is no way of returning to the home page except via the browser's back button.  The Web or Mail Link box doesn't work for me.    I can type in my home page but it doesn't seem to work. It either tries to send an email or does nothing.

Anyone using Lightroom to build a website with multiple portfolios/galleries?  If so how do you approach this problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can link together these galleries with your own HTML. Alternatively, look at LRB Portfolio or SldieShowPro (there's another thread on this here)

Hi

I use lightroom to build multiple galleries for our website (wwe.dottiecampbell.com).  I have a portfolio page that opens the "index" page of each gallery in a NEW window.  When someone has looked at the particular portfolio, they can just close the window and the portfolio web page is still there.  This is one way to do it.

I am probably going to move to the TTG galleries (http://lightroom.theturninggate.net/) which seem to have the ability to put a couple of urls on each page of a generated portfolio.  You could have one of these URL's always point back to the home page.)  You could get those, install in Lightroom and do that.  Look at this site:  www.juliestephenson.net/artistbooks.html.  (I think the site a bit confusing, but you can see how this TLG gallery has links on the pages of the portfolio.)

good luck.

I am curious as to what you end up with.

I'm using the Airtight simpleviewer gallery generated by lightroom and dropping it into a standard html page with links to all the other galleries and to the home page.  I found the at the Airtight website:

And if I can do it ( I really suck at website design) I think you can.

Alternatively, you can also dig TTG's galleries which can produce indexes and other misc and about-like pages from within LR :

My site below was done this way, and if I can do it...
