Creating a Auto Index template

When I create a Auto Index for a multi-tier gallery using " Pages " can I copy the styling across to the Auto- Index. The reason I ask is that when I have shared template data between Pages and a new template Gallery there is no data beneath;

styleData = {
        },
    },
    version = 0, 

However when I try this with CE4 Auto-Index  I get this;

        },
        styleData = {
            ["html.background_color.lrcolor"] = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
            ["masthead.h1.font_family"] = "'Gill Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Calibri, sans-serif",
            ["masthead.h1.lrcolor"] = AgColor( 0.65, 0.65, 0.65, 1 ),
            ["masthead.h2.font_family"] = "'Gill Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Calibri, sans-serif",
            ["masthead.h2.lrcolor"] = AgColor( 0.65, 0.65, 0.65, 1 ),
            ["masthead.mt"] = 8,
            ["navigation.background_color.lrcolor"] = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
            ["navigation.bb"] = 1, etc etc....


So, my question is, do I need to carry the styling across to the Auto Index, or am  I just confused.


Thanks

Re: Creating a Auto Index template

I don't really understand your question.

If you want the same styling in autoindex as you have in Pages, copy everything from styleData= to the end of the file from your saved Pages template.
Create a new autoindex template and open that in a text editor. Highlight everything from styleData= to the end of the file and paste in what you copied from the Pages template.

Restart Lightroom. In the web module's Template Browser, click on the new template. Autoindex should load with the new styling. Right click on the template and choose "Save settings...."
Doing this should save only the settings pertinent to autoindex.

Re: Creating a Auto Index template

Thanks Rod for your reply

I didn't explain myself very well. What I meant to say was that all the other templates that I have shared to
have had no data saved in them, such as "Gallery" .


When I opened the Auto Index template (without changes ) there was already data between the two points ie;

},
        styleData = {  and version 0     

That's what was confusing me.

This is all very new territory to me but I am progressing slowly with all the valuable info that's available in the forum, docs and videos.

Thanks again for your help

Re: Creating a Auto Index template

if you're creating a template from the ttg default settings, that's what you should see. At least that's what I see.
