Hi,
I've got my web gallery set up to enable downloading of a high res file from a folder called "hires" that I export images separately for. This is great - exactly what I needed. Here's my test gallery:
The download button on the grid page works perfectly, but the download button on the large image pages doesn't. It sends me to:
http://adamandkev.com/test4/%3C?php%20e … 6_2226.jpg
Which isn't a page.
The problem with this is that some of the people downloading might be doing so from a tablet or phone, and the download button doesn't appear on the grid on mobile - hence no working download button. I'd also rather not be sending out instructions on how the gallery works + how to download files and have to explicitly say "only use the download button on the grid page".
Apologies if this is an obvious one - I'm definitely not a programmer, but I did check through the forum and couldn't find anything similar.
Cheers,
Kev

I'll need to see whether that bit of PHP is getting thrown into the mix full-time, or only based on specific conditions.
The simple fix in the meantime is to put your gallery into PHP mode by enabling PHPlugins, social networking features or password protection.
You don't need to put social media buttons on the gallery. Just enable the "Embed Open Graph Protocol" option.

Amazing - thanks Matthew. The new update fixed it!

Matt & Kev, did you you do a separate output for your high-res files and then nest it into the web site somewhere (beside all the other folders?), or does CE4 do this automatically?
I'm having the same issues as you basically, but instead of the download link going to a 404 web page, mine downloads the larger-size photo, but by no means a full-size one.
I have a large image size specified (3000x2000) in the LR Web module under Image Downloads >> Publish Downloadable Image Renditions. Is this the part that specifies the size of the big downloads, or is it something else?
Thanks y'all,

If you're using Publisher, then yes.
If not, you'll need to supply the hi-res images manually

Hey Paul,
The field you're looking for is "Appearance" palette, about 3/4 of the way down. Look for the heading "Image Download" in green.
Once you find that, change the field "Hi-Res Image Folder" to something other than the default (I think it's set to "photos"). I called mine "hires", I'll assume for the rest of this you do this too.
Export the gallery as normal, then go back to the Library module export all the images in the gallery at 3000x2000 onto a folder called "hires". Put it somewhere easy to find and make sure you're not renaming files on export. Then simply drag that "hires" folder into the root folder of the gallery you just created, then dump the whole lot onto your server.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense!
Happy days,
Kev
