Another quick update. I am making progress.
I know have my Wordpress site running with a Home and Gallery page. I was also able to create and publish a gallery. The index shows perfectly as do the thumbnails for each of the photos in the gallery. However, when clicking on an image it will not open and show the larger version.
Now I really see the POWER of these tools!
Given my three templates (Wordpress, Autoindex, and Gallery) should I do all my design using the Wordpress template first? Do I need to repeat all that styling for the other two templates?
Thanks Rod. And sorry in advance for my level of ignorance. Getting my head around these various concepts has been difficult.
I am designing this site from scratch. I am happy to use the TTG Wordpress theme. In fact, I settled on using the template "Paper" they provide. I would then like to be able to create various galleries using LR and let LR handle the updating and transfer of the images to my site. Additionally, I would like to have some of the blog features associated with Wordpress.
I purchased the Gallery and Wordpress package (no Pages). Once I get this up I will add the shopping cart option as well so customers can order prints.
Seems pretty straight forward?
I am following the Wordpress guide here: http://ce3wiki.theturninggate.net/doku. … _publisher
But I find myself getting lost between the web engine and the template creation. I currently have a template folder for "My Website" and it has three templates (CE3 Paper Autoindex, CE3 - Paper Gallery, and TTG Wordpress (which I hacked to provide the style associated with the paper template). The three all share the same styling now.
I was just able to export the Autoindex template to a web gallery which I uploaded via ftp. I then changed the PHP folder name as instructed. Now, if I make a change to my auto index styling, and update the template, will the changes be made to the exported web gallery that I exported previously? I have to keep making the same changes over and over because settings I make in LR do not seem to be saved?? This is one part I do not understand. How can I preserve the work I have done until now?
Well, I am not sure what to do at this point. I am new to Lightroom, so a lot of my frustration seems to come from that. But in terms of getting TTG Ce up and running, I am not sure where to go. I have done my best, several times, of working through the tutorials and documentation and each time I get a little further along, but at this point I think I either need to get some hands on help, or just default back to Wordpress for everything. Here is what I am trying to set up.
Wordpress to handle all aspects of my site except image galleries.
Use TTG CE to handle publishing galleries and then be able to sell images of those photos.
If I use Wordpress do I have to use the TTG Wordpress theme, or can I use a different Wordpress theme?
Does not sound to complicated but I am just not skilled enough to be able to get this set up. Can anybody either point me to a more streamlined version of the tutorial, or perhaps there is someone out there that wants to do the set up?
Feeling lost and discouraged here...
