Topic: Lightroom gallery config file? [SOLVED]

Hello Steven,

I am experimenting with the new-ish Pro Lightroom Plugin (1.4.3) and cannot open the published gallery folder with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro to customize because there is no config.xml file included in the export.

It appears that the Lightroom plugin does not produce responsive galleries and I was hoping to tweak the exported gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.

I deduce that if I want a responsive gallery then I should create it manually in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, correct?

Thank you

... there is no config.xml file included in the export.

There should always be a 'config.xml' file in every gallery generated by the Lightroom plugin.
If your gallery folder does not contain a 'config.xml' file, then something is wrong (and the gallery will not be able to be displayed in a browser or opened in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro). Try reinstalling the plugin from scratch to ensure that all core files are present and correct. Also, check that you are not exporting your gallery to a folder with read-only permissions.

The Lightroom plugin creates a gallery very similar to JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (with no functional differences with regard to responsiveness).
With both applications, you can select the gallery size (Gallery Width and Gallery Height) and the 'index.html' page generated will contain the gallery on its own at the specified dimensions with no other content on the page.
Gallery dimensions can be percentages (of the gallery's parent container) or fixed pixel values. The default gallery size for both the Lightroom plugin and JuiceboxBuilder-Pro is 100% x 100%.
If you use percentages, then the gallery's parent container in the 'index.html' page generated by the Lightroom plugin and JuiceboxBuilder-Pro is the <body> tag (the entire browser window).

For more information on how to make a gallery responsive, please see this forum post.

Re: Lightroom gallery config file? [SOLVED]

Thanks Steven,

I thought something fishy was happening.

Looks like in Lightroom I was accessing <juicebox.lrwebengine> instead of <juicebox_pro.lrwebengine>

I'll try again....

Re: Lightroom gallery config file? [SOLVED]

Hi Steven,

Better, but the plugin is not generating an images folder or the content for non-javascript devices in the html file(s) upon export.

<www.umayyad.net/test/NorthWall/index.html>


The generated config file is looking rather sparse too:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<juiceboxgallery

                showInfoButton="true"
                    enableDirectLinks="true"
                    showSmallPagingText="false"
                    galleryFontFace="times"
                    showAutoPlayButton="true"
                    galleryDescription="Umayyad Mosque, Damascus. الجمعة الاموي في دمشق
En edit featuring miscellaneous views of the masonry of the north wall of the tmemos."
                    galleryTitle="Tememos_Exterior North Wall"
                    enableLooping="true"
        >

   
</juiceboxgallery>


The Preview in Browser... looks great.

Hi Steven,

Followed your original advice and manually re-installed the <juicebox_pro.lrwebengine> file.

Now I'm getting a decent config file and images :-)

Thanks.
