Thanks Rod, The Panorama's are also fairly Zoomable (e.g. Deep Zoom Images) so I don't think the Stage Panorama will do the trick sadly.

I was a bit foolish and never actually saved my template properly, or if I did I must have deleted it at some stage or another thus my silly question around PHP. The template sharing tip is fantastic and has saved me a heap of time in the past, so i may just end up doing that again when I look at re-creating the layout.

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to create a new page in the pages suite, but without having the template file.
I set up my site using pages, but since then the template has gone walk-about and now I wanted to create a page to host a few zoomable panorama images, but want to keep the same look.

Many thanks,

Thanks Matt, I don't think it will work this way either (i had tried the echo).

There is not a PHP solution (official) to my knowledge, but I think the biggest issue is the download.php is actually forcing it to download the file rather than display, so I don't think the script will ever properly fire.

I had a look at the actual gallery part, and I could make the potential change below but I am having cache issues and it goes not show up from what I can see, no biggie as I can leave it for the future. It was a nice to have to know who is downloading what and which are the most popular images, but is not the end of the world not having it.

.delegate(".mfp-download a","click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
ga(‘send’, ‘event’, ‘Downloads’, albumURL, currentImage);
window.location.href = albumURL + "download.php?file=photos/" + currentImage + ".jpg";
})

I didn't have much luck, tried adding the following into the Download.php file but it never really worked (with my own UA code).
Not sure if anyone else in the community is keen to give it a go but code is below if they are.

Thanks Matthew,

Which is the PHP script that I would look at editing that initiates the file download?
From what I can see it does appear to be feasable, using the below example:

<a href=”http://www.abc.com/gu/dw/social-media-guide.pdf” onClick=”ga(‘send’, ‘event’, ‘guides’, ‘download-social’, ‘social-media-guide.pdf’, 10);“>Download Social Media Guide</a>

If you can point me in the direction of the download PHP script, I can have a look at doing an edit. Many thanks!

So what i was looking at was integration with the google analytics tracking. At the moment the number of visitors and so on is tracked, but I am wondering if there is any way to track the number of times images are downloaded using the Gallery system, so I can see which images are most downloaded or most popular etc.

I believe you can set up goals in Google analytics, but I don't believe it is tracking when a file is downloaded, is it possible to do that?

Hello,

Just wondering if there is any way I can set up the Gallery to register it as a goal when one of the images is downloaded?

Many Thanks,

Trav.

Thanks Rod, looks like that might have been my issue!

Hi All,

Hoping someone might be able to help me, I have a number of different watermark settings, and for most I do want to mark the photos with a watermark, but if I make an image downloadable sometimes then I don't want to have a watermark.

The issue is, if I have a gallery collection, and I set it to change from Managed By Lightroom to No Watermark it does not appear to honour that request, and the images get published with the watermark.

Any ideas what is going on and how I can fix this. It does not appear to matter what order I do things, and am running Lightroom CC 6.

Many Thanks

Thanks for the pointer Rod, fixed it up perfectly .

Is there a trick to getting (through the AutoIndex) a Gallery Set image to show up.

I have it set up at the following link: http://www.travishale.com/galleries.php and I have my categories, where two of the categories have sub categories which them have images in them, but the images do not show up in the AutoIndex.

Apologies if this exists, or has been asked before but I have just started using the Gallery and love it, however I think it would be great if the Gallery from a posting perspective could more integrate with Social Media.

I know from within the Gallery you can share pictures and the likes, but it would be great it when you create a new Gallery, the Publisher could post to your Twitter / Facebook page that a new Gallery has been placed online and the link / an image.

The same could then be done when something was added to the Gallery (just an overview of x pictures were added / changed etc). I think doing this would really help drive social traffic to the Galleries pages, and since they are templates it could be turned On or Off based on the Gallery settings?

Well done on a great tool, this is everything I have been looking for and more.

Just food for thought.

That template tip really was a life saver, once I have the base template I was able to copy it between my Pages, AutoIndex and Gallery and I now have a consistently styled site!

Thanks for all your help Rod, and Matthew.
This is a great software package, 5 Stars so far!

Hi All,

I have been blown away by TTG once i worked out how to set it up.
I am really happy with the system, and have finally got a personal website to share some of my photos and my background with people, I have no photography background (just self taught) but do work as a Scientist so i thought the site could be a good chance to share a bit about me professionally, but then also showcase my passion (photography).

The site is at www.travishale.com

well done on a great package in TTG, I am using CE Pages, AutoIndex and Gallery.

Thanks for the tips Rod,

Although I have information in the pages, it is by no means (really) set up and is mainly staging at the moment, so I am happy to start from scratch if needed.

Thanks for the tips around the templates, that points me in the right direction and once I have a base template set up (e.g. Pages?) I can then copy the settings to other templates. I likely did it the wrong way around, but i figure if I do pages, then copy the settings to say AutoIndex, I can then tweak the Autoindex and copy the settings etc to the Gallery or vice versa.

Thanks for all the help!

So i am making progress, a bit one step backwards two forwards but it is at least heading in the right direction.
I have set up the auto-index template and put that in the folder, and have the gallery set up as well as the auto-index.

http://www.travishale.com/galleries.php

When i go to that link, it follows a different layout to the auto-index link (e.g. http://www.travishale.com/galleries/sky … nar-events) which is the actual layout I want.

How do i get layout of Autoindex into the gallery / index page so that all albums follow that layout?

Thanks for your help, I feel like I am getting more confident. I even have gallery / auto-index password protection and downloads working, so I have one gallery for no download no password, another for password no download, and another template for password with download.

trav.d.hale · CE4 Cart

Thanks Matt, I had a mind melt i was thinking cart but typed autoindex lol.

trav.d.hale · CE4 Auto Index

So does that mean I only need one Auto Index in the ttg-be/templates/autoindex and then from publish i just create a new publish service for each top level, and then either make an album set with galleries, or a child album set etc for each nested level down, so for example:

Publish Service --> Client Area
Client Area --> Album Set (Client 1)
Client Area --> Album Set (Client 2)

Publish Service --> Nature
Nature --> Album Set (Animals)
Nature --> Album Set (Macro)
Nature --> Album Set ... etc

Apologies if this is explained somewhere else and I have missed it, but if I want to look at selling photos through my website, but through another provider (e.g. http://www.fotomoto.com/) does that mean I only need the Gallery plugin and not the Autoindex?

trav.d.hale · CE4 Auto Index

Hello,

I am slightly confused, and I am hoping someone might be able to clear it up for me.
I recently brought the web publishing package, and have been quite happy with it (I am still in dev mode working everything out).

Anyway, I have my Pages powered site, with Gallery and publisher at: http://www.travishale.com/galleries.php

This works fine, and I can have Gallery Sets and Albums under that as I have done with a number of different categories, however what I would like to do is to have a number of different pages, some linked and others not, as different categories similar to the below:

Home
Info

Galleries - Index
Galleries - Nature - Animals
Galleries - Nature - Animals - Birds
Galleries - Nature - Animals - Macro
Galleries - Nature - Animals - Other
Galleries - Nature - Landscapes
Galleries - Nature - Skyscapes

Galleries - Events - Christmas 2014
Galleries - Events - Fundraiser

Clients Area - Client 1 (Galleries)
Clients Area - Client 2 (Galleries)

Contact

I have a simpler version working at the moment, which is like the below, but what I am not sure about is what i actually need to do to get the AutoIndex working, how many different versions of the Autoindex I essentially need to save, and where I would go about saving them:

Home
About
Info
Galleries - Birds
Galleries - Landscapes & Skyscapes
Galleries - Macros
Contact Us

A second question, and this might be more publisher related, but I would like to have the option of allowing users to download some
photos, or not, from a password protected area (or sometimes not), to do this should I in the AutoIndex template enable the password protection and download and just disable that from the publisher area, or do I need to create multiple templates (e.g. NoPW_NoDL, PW_NoDL,PW_DL)?

Thanks for the clarification .
