New to CE4, CRG, etc.,... help!? :-)

Hi All,
Been a longtime user of TTG LR galleries v2.x. But with LR 5, many of them stopped working. (White Screen in LR web gallery view). So I just purchased the "Client Proofing bundle". I have a full website, but simply need to regularly load new Client Response Galleries like I used to do with "ttg_clientResponse217". Typically I would create a gallery in LR, export it as an HTML file, and then load it to my server. So trying to accomplish the same with CE4.

In the installation video, it shows Matthew doing all this setting up with all all these different elements into your site folders and then publishing from LR.
I dragged the CRG lrwebengines to the "Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom as with older versions. But when viewing the CRG Layout in LR, It's not loading my images, so I'm not seeing a preview of the gallery. Is this only pre-viewable in the actual site pages? Or did I miss a step?

Thanks.

- Sol

Minor correction, on the older LR gallery webengine I was using, it was actually "SP-TTG Highslide Gallery Pro 2.0", not the above mentioned ttg_clientresponse217" that is "whiting out blank screen"

that's not the correct folder. See the installation instructions:

You can use the CE4 version of CRG just like older versions: export and upload. The only extra thing you'll need to do is install TTG-BE and the online component of CRG

I did put it in the right spot, just forgot to right ".../Web galleries" in my OP.
Found what I was looking for. It is the pull-down selection at the top "Page Preview". It opens default to "Quick Reference". Now I'm seeing the full page preview. Figured it was something simple I missed. :-)

Follow-up. Sorry, more newbie stuff here.
How do you edit the "Lorem Ipsem" text? Can't find the entry point to edit it in the CRG panels.
TIA

in the Color Palette. Look for the Page Copy (md) field as well as the sidebar field

Thanks, Rod.
Looked thoroughly through the "Site Info" and "Appearance" sections, expecting it to be a "content" thing. Didn't expect it to be located in the "Color Palette". Although, I could have sworn I looked there to at some point too. I guess I had glazed-over at that point. :-)
Thanks, man.

It does take a while to get used to where things are

Another quick question.
I'm noticing that when I switch form one of my older presets to the new CE4 CRG preset I'm currently working on (transferring paragraphs of text, colors and such) the main window in LR goes completely white when I press the CE4 Preset button, and is not accessible to work on. I have to then go out to the Library, and then back into the "Web" Panel for the CE4 Preset to reload. Is this normal? Or am I missing a step? Or is it a minor glitch?

rod barbee · 2015-09-24 23:42:04

I think this is just a Lightroom thing. It happens to me occasionally too, though I usually can just wait rather than going to the Library Module.
But sometimes I have to quit Lightroom and restart it.

Thanks, Rod. Your help has been much appreciated.
