Page Image > get Image by ID issue

RobS · 2015-05-07 12:17:36

Hi,

If I enable Page Image > get Image by ID, then export and upload the template, the galleries using that template have a broken image icon where an image should be. When I check the web page using Chrome's Inspect Element tool, the link points to an image that's not there. It's linking to an image (which I deleted from the folder when I uploaded the template) from the filmstrip that I used in Lightroom, not the one in the gallery.

Is that right? Can you only use one image that's shared between all galleries using that template?

thanks.

Yep. If you're using Publisher and want to put an image in the description area, then you will need to write-in the image using HTML or Markdown.

Hi Matthew,

In past versions of CRG, wouldn't a picture just be picked from the gallery grid, depending on the ID you pick in LR?

Not for the description area, no. Auto-grabbing of a thumbnail only happens in the auto index.

Yes and no.
Lightroom bases it on the image position in the filmstrip but uses the image file name.
So to use the page image feature with Publisher you would either need to:
1) include the same image in the album collection that's in the template (image in both thumbnail grid and page image)
Or
2) manually upload the image to the album's photos/ folder.

Thanks Rod. I wanted to have the image picked from the grid, so it was different for each gallery.

As I said, that is not automated. You will need to know the file name and location of the image, and can then write-in the image in the gallery description using HTML.

<img alt="My image" src="path/to/image.jpg" />

Now that I'm using the managed galleries, I'll need to stop using this resource too.
This image, from that same gallery, designated by their number, was a beautiful finishing on my galleries, then I will wait hopefully for re-enable this feature for the managed galleries in the future, getting the image filename and showing on the fly, by the number designated on the template...

In time, it's just a little point in a really good plugin!!

This is a Publisher issue, not necessarily a CRG issut.
The problem is that unless you include that same image in the album as is designated in your template, it can't show up. This means individual templates for each client, which is not efficient at all.

The easiest thing to do is to include the image inline in the page copy as html,, using the alignleft or alignright class as needed to float the image left or right.
You could create a separate folder to hold all of these types of images, then export and upload to the folder as needed.
You can then use the same html code over and over, just changing out the image name in the code.

I understand. Can you give an code example how can I do this in the page copy?

Thanks!!
