Incorporating a Lightroom gallery into Xara Web Designer MX Premium

[tony1941]

Hi

I hope you can help.

I have created a multi-page website with a common header and a rectangle (placeholder?) occupying the rest of each page beneath. I have created a gallery in Lightroom and exported it to a folder under the Xara web design folder. When I click on the index.html the page is launched in Firefox so i know it works.

My problem is, I cannot find a way to incorporate this gallery of photos (index.html) into the rectangle/placeholder on the page.

If I can get this to work I will populate the other pages with photos on similar galleries with menu links to each page (which does work!).

I'm sure it must be possible; I just need some help to make it work.

Any help gratefully received.

Regards

Tony

I am having trouble following this (it's probably me, not you). Can you elaborate on your Lightroom gallery. Is it on the web, or is it on your computer? Does the index.html document reference the images, positions, etc.?

Hi
Thanks for your response. The website is not yet published, so it is still on my computer. The gallery shows an arrangement of images as produced by Lightroom, with titles, and clicking on any one enlarges it. The index.HTML references the images, positions and actions, etc. When I click on index.HTML in Explorer, the page is launched as a stand-alone page in Firefox. That just means it works and can be launched by the index.HTML. What I want to do is to integrate it within my web layout so it occupies just the rectangle of page space I've allocated to it. I don't know how to do it. I thought I could use a placeholder, but there doesn't seem to be any way of calling the index file that works... or perhaps there is?

Hi Mike

As far as I can see, that is about what I want. I would be very pleased to see how you did it. Can you post the details here, or do you need to PM me, if that is possible on this blog/

You can create an iframe. The simplest way to do this is to use the Embed a Website widget which is found in the Designs Gallery.

I have used this on sites to bring in a gallery or slideshow. I am not sure if it will work on your computer though. I think the gallery will have to be published to a website first, Then you enter the URL for the slideshow.

But it might be worth your while to investigate some of the galleries in Web Designer's Designs Gallery. If you use this approach you don't need an iframe or an external gallery. There are quite a few sizes and shapes.
