Horizontal Scroll Lua V1.0

Well, with the introduction of the new VScroll in the past few days, I've knuckled down into getting my original Horizontal Scroll gallery into Lua and with more control. While Lua Galleries are a whole new learning curve after busting through XSLT, they're very powerful. An understanding of CSS can lead to have a great deal of control in the gallery settings. Building the galleries is not overly difficult. It's very logical, but time consuming as you've no true debugger and it's a game of "will Lightroom ignore the gallery", because there's a missing comma somewhere. Enough of the gallery building talk.
HScrollLua 1.0 is a horizontal scrolling gallery. It's a single page gallery with all the image appearing on one page. No thumbnails, just the preview sized photos.
Features:
Download
View a Sample Gallery
To install the gallery, you need to go to User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom, (On XP got o C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom -Note that Application Data is a hidden folder, on Vista C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\ ) where User is the name you log in with. Look for a folder called Web Galleries within. If it's not there, create it yourself. Unzip the file into this folder and restart Lightroom.
The new Gallery will apppear in the Right Hand Panel, in the Galleries Pane.
I recommend that you create an alias/shortcut to this Lightroom folder for future use.

Beau, Download it again, will ya?
I've made a tiny tiny change..
The link font size was 0.8em, but I changed it to 10px to look better in Camino and Firefox.

This is a great template - thanks Sean!
One note, on XP, "adobe" is in the path: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries

Hi Dave,
My bad. I'll fix this. It's a cut and paste from an earlier post so I'm surprised no one else noticed..

I still need to do some editing on the sub galleries but here's the link to my site:
tomdarbyphotography.com
The subgalleries were made using other LR templates and I did them rather quickly just to have something online. I'm not very good at editing these things and I did the WHO I AM page after first generating it with Sean's template then editing it in Taco on my MacBook Pro. It obviously needs lot of work yet :)
Comments are welcome!

Hi Tom,
The digiscapes page looks great.
If you're using the VScroll gallery, here's a trick:
Create a collection with 1 photo. Then go to web and select the VScroll gallery.
Enter the 'About me' text in as the collection description.
Easy peasy without any editing.

Thanks Sean! That worked great using VScroll. When using Collection Description in HScroll it runs across the page continuously. I could edit it but wondered if there was an easier way? I like both these templates and appreciate your work and comments a great deal!

Do you know about using <ag:formatted>? I'm rushing out now, but if you use this you can format however you like.. Search the blog, it's there.

It works very well. But is it possible tu include the target of a link (like Target=_blank) ?

Only if you edit the code in the grid.html file.
look for the menu section with the li's and add it to the href code!

It could have been awsome if the images strip was flash protected...
Good work !

Even if it were Flash protected, you could still get copies of images via screen capture.

hey mate
i found this searching for horizontal scrolling galleries ... it's quite a good script you've got set up here.
i have installed it on a gallery site of mine.
take a look: http://www.ibuddha.org
it looks great. thanks!
it's a bit annoying to get all the images to be the same size, lol, but i'm happy with the result.
cheers

Great template, just set it up today (got the 1st page up and running), i DO believe in stupid questions and so i have one for you. I can't seem to make the "second page link" and subsequent "page links" work, or know how to set them up using the same Hscroll template. Please Advise, thanks, sincerely, web newbie

you manually create the galleries and link to them.
By

Wow quick reply, so again in Lightroom I create the main page using the Hscroll template, then prior to upload, type the second page link, which is say www.mywebname.com/gallerie2/index.html
is this right?
then create with a new folder of images and a new Hscroll template (which is my second page) in the [first page] field I type www.mywebname.com/gallerie2.index.html
?? because I did this and it didn't seem to work. Literally my first day, thanks for your answers in advance.

I just happen to be online, that's all..
make sure the http:// is there.
you could also enter relative links: ../../gallerie2/
By

That may be too many ups... ../gallerie2 should do

It's been a long time since I looked at these, but I'm not sure that they're implemented here.

Hello Sir
Do you have an idea how i can integrate sIFR 2.0.7 to the "Horizontal Scroll Lua V1.0" module when the html is generated ?
Thanks

No. Never even heard of it. Try following instructions from where you downloaded it.

Hi Thanx for the download first gallery looks great
Question is how do i add the manualscroll bar on the bottom of the gallery
Cheers

I have no idea what you're asking..
This is almost a year old and the developmental ideas from this formed the basis of LRB Portfolio, where my current coding resides.

Hi Sean,
Thank you for creating the template, and for sharing it for free.
I have made a small change. In order to make national characters (e.g. in gallery title, link labels, etc.) display properly, you need to add encoding declaration in the main HTML page (grid.html), anywhere between the HEADER tags:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-utf-8">
This assumes Unicode encoding is used when typing in those characters (as is the case in Mac Lightroom, and probably in other systems as well).
By

You do realise that this is quite old and well superceded by LRB Portfolio which allows to to choose from a large amount of charsets.
UTF-8 doesn't include a lot of scandinavian characters etc, so other options are needed.
