Are Pages and Autoindex redundant?

We're setting up a new site, and have most of it together successfully. We're struggling with the index details. We noticed that, in tutorials, Matt talks about gallery indexes in Pages OR in Autoindex. We have both of these webengines loaded and running in Lightroom. Parts of them appear to be redundant - are we supposed to be using only one of them, i.e. since we set up a Pages site, should we not be using Autoindex?

Our "Layout Style" panel in the Web module currently shows

CE4 Autoindex
CE4 Gallery
CE4 Pages
CE4 Viewport Sizer

in addition to the standard Lightroom options. Should we remove Autoindex since we're using Pages?

Re: Are Pages and Autoindex redundant?

you only need autoindex if you plan on creating more indexes. For example, on your Galleries page (which is already an autoindex) you can either have all of your galleries or you can divide them up into categories, like landscapes, portraits, etc. If you want to be able to divide up your images and create those categories, then you also need Autoindex.

this might help explain it better: http://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto. … -plug-ins/

Autoindex also creates templates that are used by Publisher to create Album Sets.
