Thanks Ben. My entry point was CE4, so I have no prior experience. When you say "set up watermarks in the Publisher settings", where would I find those?
2-part question:
1) when publishing an album using publisher CE4, on the 'features' tab of the albums settings, in the 'Watermark to apply' drop-down, the first option is 'Managed by Lightroom'. What does this option do? Whenever I have used it, I get no watermarks at all.
2) I would like to be able to (optionally) apply a second watermark to images I have for sale. Is there any mechanism to do this?
Thanks!
Maybe my setup is different, or I am not understanding what "iconic" means. I thought it meant a square thumbnail that maximizes the use of the available space. The same gallery gives me this on my desktop (Mac 10.7.5, Safari 6.1.6):
and this on my iPhone 5 (all galleries look like this on my iphone, regardless of style):
but like this on my iPad 2:
I'm happy with the look, but what you said above would imply that iPhone and iPad should look the same, so I was hoping I could make the iPad look like the other two. If not, no big deal. I just wanted to be sure I had it setup correctly.
Rod, That's fantastic, I'm very grateful. So grateful, I just bought one of your books!
I guess I didn't quite understand what "double-tapping the checkbox" meant, but now I do. This same effect happens when you exit the Web module and come back in again. I was playing with these settings earlier on, but nothing seemed to be changing so I ignored them.
Thanks for the link else I would never have found this page. It didn't some up in a search for "iconic" in the documentation pages unfortunately…
Not sure why the iPad is singled-out as the only device to not show full iconic images, but at least I understand it's a limitation now.
Thanks again Rod
I'm a new user so forgive me if I have overlooked something obvious. I'm running all the latest versions of code as of Sept 6th. I'm using the publisher to update galleries, and have the metadata-only push unchecked. I'm also using Theme for WP, although I don't think that's relevant here.
I would like to use the iconic gallery style for a gallery/album because I have always liked the way galleries look on a phone (I guess they default to iconic style for small screens, which makes sense), but I seem only to be able to make it look that way if I crop images square. Essentially the gallery thumbnails are not all cropping to squares like they do here in Matt's example: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/demos/01- … ry-iconic/ Interestingly, Matt's example does not look 'iconic' on an iPad, but does on a phone.
Heres my gallery; http://www.fourwallsphoto.com/galleries … and-child/ which does not look 'iconic' on anything but a phone.
They also don't seem to preview as squares in Lightroom either, so I guess I'm just missing a setting somewhere somewhere?
No, that's not what you meant by the 'block'. I get it now. I was able to enter a link in the publisher 'page content' tab (where it says Page Copy (md)) back to the other gallery! I've also just learned that the (md) means you can enter links using MarkDown, another language to learn!
http://www.fourwallsphoto.com/galleries … b/giselle/
And so it works!
Do you mean in the main menu structure? I don't really want this to appear on every page.
I'd like to be able to make the last (or first) image in a gallery link to another gallery instead of a photo (or, a photo in another gallery instead of a photo). This could be used to, say, when you want to entice viewers to buy some photos in another cart-enabled gallery after they have finished viewing all the free ones in the current gallery.
I thought I could do this with the auto-index enabler, but this puts the link to more images in the level above (the index) and not alongside the photos (the gallery), like this: http://www.fourwallsphoto.com/galleries … ries/azyb/
Am I barking up the wrong tree? Or is there a way to put pointer, or an index i suppose it would be called here, inside a gallery, without turning that gallery in to an index?
Yes, the plugin seems to be working. I've tried re-downloading the plugin, and re-loading in LR, but still error persists. No big deal, and I seem to be the only one, so forget about it.
Occasionally publisher will throw me these error messages when I try to create a new album, but otherwise it seems OK now:
An internal error has occurred: JSON.lua:458: JSON.lua:197: can't parse JSON at char 1 of: Unable to load template: application/views/templates/template_home.php
It looks like they are all there…
…and the same again with today's update:

Just the same error as I already pasted, 4 times over for every re-load of the plugin:

possibly not important, but since I can't seem to get publisher to work, I thought I ought at least find out if it was installed correctly...
not explicitly, I think Safari did that for me automatically. Besides, i would not have been able to install the plugin if it was still zipped, right?
I can see the contents of the package, and the .png icons are there for sure:
Info.lua
JSON.lua
LRInfoProvider.lua
LRInitPlugin.lua
MetadataHandler.lua
supporting_files
ttg-icon-large.png
ttg-icon.png
TTGApi.lua
TTGDialogs.lua
TTGGalleryIDHelper.lua
TTGMigrator.lua
TTGMigratorMenuItem.lua
TTGOutputStructureMenuItem.lua
TTGPublishServiceProvider.lua
TTGUtils.lua
I installed publisher (version 211, from Aug 15th) for the first time, and in the plugin manager, it says its enabled but has encountered problems. From the error log, it looks like it can't find the ttg icon, but it is there.
