Page image and publisher

I made a template that displays a page image (assign an image from the filmstrip to appear in the block) above the block. That, combined with a masonry payout beneath the block makes for a great layout (I think) for what I want.  http://test.theomolenaar.nl/galleries/t … en-footer/

This is a directly exported gallery. So I exported the same template and uploaded a test with the same images. Unfortunately there was no image....

Re: Page image and publisher

that's because that same image (with the same file name) is not in the album.

the page is looking inside the photos/ folder of that album for the image.

the way you can include an image that's not in the photos/ folder is to include it inline with the block text using html

Txs

I have done that before. Just hoped that the second image from each album would be above the ariticle. I now put 'uitgelicht.jpg' (dutch WP item) in the template. And chose to put the text of the album after the template text. If I do not want / have an item I can choose replace. Lots of possibilities in the framework :-)

Re: Page image and publisher

no, the album won't take the second image. The gallery in Lightroom will look at the assigned image and use its file name for the image on the page, not its position.
In the template, the page is looking at photos/your-file-name.jpg, and that's a relative url. In the published album, the page will also be looking in the photos/ folder for the same file name that's used in the template. So if the album doesn't have the exact same file somewhere in the album, you'll get a broken image link rather than a picture.
