This has been written about numerous times already on my blog and in help posts.
The issue is f:labeled_text_input replaces WPGPanelUI.TextInput in the SDK. It's great for shorter code, but as I found out after release, is hard coded to clip at 150 characters. 1.01 which is the dot release in the hands of testers has reverted back to the older code with 3200 characters. I'm not getting as much feedback as quick as I like from beta versions (bar one or two testers, who have been great), so it means all I can do is wait.

Hellow Sean,

I like your layout very much.

I wonder if it is possible to create subgalleries from the Set/Collections of LR 2.0?
I have to do a presentation on Canada and have to devide all pics into Provinces (12 of them anyway). I have all my images nicely sorted in a Set in sub collections - can your plugin work with that?
Thanks
R

[Sean McCormack]

No.
The SDK doesn't allow for that.

LRB Portfolio has been updated to 1.01, fixing a width issue with the menu under IE, and changing the right click code to be compatible with WebKit based browsers like Safari and Chrome.
Additions include longer text fields for Home and About, a HTML Metadata Keywords box, Remove home page link, and a slider to set the distance from the top of the broswer. To avoid confusion with those seeing errors with not enough images selected, the Home, About and Contact pages show image 1. You will see the error on gallery pages with not enough images selected. I've added titles to each section for clarity.

Known Issues. On Mac, entering a number directly in the Image Per Gallery silder box doesn't force an update. Click on the slider to force the update. Using the Slider, or hovering over the number and dragging work as normal. I'm in touch with Adobe engineers to see why this code isn't working as normal.

To update, simply use the link you received on purchase to download the new version. Most of you have only one or 2 downloads, so you still have plenty left. Reply with the download link email if you run into trouble.

First, thanks for the 1.1 update. Really appreciate it! Now my questions -

1. Is there a way to export one or two photos to replace existing photos in my web galleries? Once I have exported to my hard drive, I know how to add only what I want to my existing web pages, but it would be nice if I did not have to do a complete export just to get one photo or bit of code. Am I being clear on what I want to do? Is it possible?

2. Just to be sure I understand - I am I correct in that you can not add more than six galleries? Is it possible for me to go into the exported code to add more galleries?

Thanks, Linda

[Sean McCormack]

1. only by manually exporting, then FTPing the HTML files into the folder, and the images into bin/images/photos. Lightroom offers no way of checking for changes and only updating the changes.

2. Going into the code means changing a minimum of 9 files, and then however many extra gallery pages. How many do you need? It's probably easier to modify the code I just thought 6 was a reasonable number.

[LindaQ]

Six is a reasonable number. My problem is I want to have a few links as well. We travel a lot, so I keep a travel blog as well as my photo blog. Right now only the photo blog is linked and then I have five galleries. At the moment I think I would like two more galleries available (8 total), one for another link and one for a favorites/current gallery of photos. If you decide to add more galleries, I would recommend 10, which would allow for growth. Again, in my case most would be for additional links. Thanks so much for being so responsive! Linda

Sean -

One more problem. I want to include a contact form on my website. I tried it with version 1, including make the required change in the package contents. After I uploaded the pages to my server (which does have PHP support), if you try to send a form, this message appears: Can't send email to lsquinn@optonline.net. In this case, the listed email address is one of mine that was entered in the YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS box. So for now I opted not to use the form. Then I tried a test site with the form. I uploaded the test, with the same results, when I remembered that I am now using version 1.01, and has not made the changes to it. So again I went to the application, and opened the package (I use OS X 10.5). Double click on mail.html and the following code is listed. As you can see, there is no place to enter my email address. Please advise if I am doing something wrong. Thanks.


Back"; } elseif ($subject == "") { echo "
Your mail has no subject. Please press Back and try again!

"; echo "Back"; } elseif ($from == "") { echo "
You've not entered a name. Can you press back and enter it please!

"; echo "Back"; } elseif (mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$replyto)) { echo "
Thank you for sending email

"; echo "Back"; } else { echo "
Can't send email to $email

"; } ?>

[Sean McCormack]

This is the middle section of mail.html inside the package,
You can see the section to change in the /////////// part, after the $recipient=

// /////////////////////////
// Change YourAddr@YourMail.com to your email address.
// ////////////////
$recipient = 'YourAddr@YourMail.com';

// Everything below this line is fine.




$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$from = $_POST['from'];

$replyto = 'Reply-To: '.$email;

[Sean McCormack]

Linda, on the links front, would 2 external links suffice? As it stands the Site Info menu is ridiculously full! Roll on custom panels.
(I mean in addition to the 6 galleries)

[LindaQ]

Sean - I made a reply before, but for some reason it did not post. In reference to the links, two links in addition to the six galleries would be terrific! As for my other problem - I enter the correct email address to mail.html in my html editor, reopened LR, and exported a test gallery site. (www.digitalquinn.com/test) One the CONTACT page, when you enter information in the text boxes and then click SEND, this message appears:
"Can't send email to…" - with the email address that was entered in the YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS box appearing after the word to.

Can you tell if the problem with what I am doing, my server, or what? Thanks much, Linda

[Sean McCormack]

Can't send email is a general failure error and could be a lot of stuff. Is email from php switched on at the server level?

[LindaQ]

I'll check out the php status on the server. I use GoDaddy, and I successfully created a form for a client's site on GoDaddy, but I haven't used it before on my site. Thanks. I'll let you know. Linda

[LindaQ]

Sean -  It turns out that my GoDaddy account was Windows based, which does not support PHP. I just initiated a switch to their LINUX based server, which does support PHP. However, the support email I received from GoDaddy included the following:

Also,  in order to be able to send email through our hosting accounts that we offer you must use the following relay server in your code:

relay-hosting.secureserver.net

You do not need to provide a user name and password for this relay server as it does not require authentication.

Is this code that I can add? Thanks for all your help, Linda

[Sean McCormack]

I've had a peek on google and found this:

http://help.godaddy.com/article/951

"If you use the mail() function in your PHP, you do not need to specify an outgoing mail server. If you are using some other method besides mail() in your PHP code, use relay-hosting.secureserver.net for your relay server."

You're using mail there, so on the surface, it looks like it should just work.
