One last thing, If you notice, on the galleries i have set up on the Clubs gallery pages, there are 3 galleries set up for each competition, beginners, advanced, and Masters. Can this also be done with TG via Lightroom? I am also assuming that we can get the Captiosn to show up in this format as long as they reside in LR, is this correct?

Example:
3rd Place - Monochrome
Mission San Jose

I manage a large website for a local camera club. We have 100's if not thousands of images that have accumulated over the years. We have just launched our new website and the highest pain part is posting the winners for each months competition. There is only 36 images posted, but to post those images using a gallery plugin and then adding captions to all of them is a time suck. Since all the images end up in Lightroom for organization and labeling purposes it would be great to just push a gallery out to the WordPress website and have it done. I don't mind having to go in and add some navigation to the menu, but it would be great if we could automate the gallery process with captions. You can take a look at what we are doing now, and I would like to replicate that as much as possible but I am of course more interested in the automation process so i am willing to make some changes if i need to.

I am also very interested in the Client Feedback plugin as we send these images out to judges each month to be scored. This too is a bit of a time suck and would love to be able to automate this as well.

From what I understand both of these items be handled via light room which would be fantastic. I am a bit confused on what I need to make all of this happen. Is there a base program I need to start off with for Lightroom and for Word press? Where do I start, where do I need to accomplish these tasks?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Houston

Rob,

Thank you for your very quick reply. Sounds good so far. I will install and see how this works in practice. Are there any demos of this to look at?

Many thanks,
Houston

I'm an active member of a local camera club and I remember looking at TG several years ago and thought it had great potential to become an online Photo contest platform. Here is the criteria that I will need to do:


1. Generate three different categorizes or galleries to the web
2. Allow a judge to score the image (1-100) and assign it a place (1st, 2nd, 3rd, Honorable Mention)
3. Allow the judge to make a comment for each image.
4. The admin should be able to import all this info so it can be assembled later for a slideshow.

I am mainly using TG to eliminate the need for sending the images to different judges and having each judge use there own way of handling all this info. This would also automate a lot of the process that we are now doing manually.

Many thanks,
Houston
