Customizing a Lightroom Flash Web Gallery?

Hey folks,

I'm working on switching my web gallery workflow over to Lightroom 1.0. I love the Flash slideshows it'll build, but I want to set up a template that matches the stylesheet used on the rest of my site. I'm experienced at editing HTML CSS sheets, but I've never touched XML before, and while it looks familiar, it's not familiar enough .

So, is there a more intuitive way to do this? Basically, all I want is for Lightroom to build the slideshow on a page with my header, background image, and footer links.

The header I think I can figure out. The background image is giving me fits, because the one I use is about 2px by 2px, and my CSS sheet automatically repeats it as needed to fill the screen. XML doesn't seem to do that. And for the footer links, that's not really a stylesheet issue but something that would have to be included in the default HTML page Lightroom builds. Any ideas how to do that?

Thanks for any thoughts...

Don't think this delves too much into XML, it's not very complicated but it might be useful

Thanks. Those tips are good as far as they go, for customizing an individual gallery. What I was really hoping to do, though, is make a gallery template in Lightroom that creates the flash gallery on a web page of my design, with my links footer. That way I won't have to customize each individual gallery I create. I'm trying to make this a "click and forget" process.

Surely I'm not the only one who'd like to do this... and surely Adobe thought of this???

We'll give it one bump, see if anyone else has any ideas...

I have some information on my site http://www.lightroomga​lleries.com that may help. We are going to be adding more info on flash galleries as we gather it. Hope that helps

how do you upload a single file to a gallery you've already created online. I just want to upload one more file to the existing gallery online.

can't seem to figure it out?

I am trying to accomplish the same thing in LR3. Couldn't figure out. Is this possible or the only way is to create the web gallery all over again?

I've never messed with the Web galleries, but the Lightroom Forum has people who work with them:

Victoria Bampton, a POTN member and the "Lightroom Queen", is also a great resource:
