I'd need to create localization strings for all of the text in the gallery. Had them in an old version, but tore that all up when I overhauled it. Let me get back to you. :)

LPerrier,

The localization strings are ready and included in the latest download package, 2.61.5. The strings are in the TranslatedStrings_en.txt file. You'll need to change this to TranslatedStrings_fr.txt, and then translate the text following = for each string.

For anyone else reading this, there's no need to upgrade from 2.61. I haven't made any changes to the gallery other than to add the localization strings. If anyone would like to tackle the German translation, that'd be cool. ;)

When you're finished, LPerrier, just send me the TranslatedStrings_fr.txt file and I'll update the gallery distribution.

Cheers,
Matt

Ok, Matt! ;)

I stopped the translations, because you had every few days new and changed versions of your galleries a time ago. I think some of them are now nearly complete and I can do a german translation for your galleries, if you like.

Yes, that'd be great, Juergen. I was sorry to lose the previous translation you did, but it was no longer applicable after the overhaul I pulled on the template. Not expecting any more overhauls, though. ;)

This one is ready to go. I'll maybe try to get translation strings into some of the others later, but I'm working on other things right now.

Matthew,

The sixth line of your ...en.txt file read:
"$$$/imageInfo/Annontation=Annotation"
I guess you should look elsewhere in your code to see if the typo appear or not...

It doesn't matter as long as the part before "=" is the same in the code and translation file. This is only a description to better see where the string belongs to. You can name the strings "1=Annotation", "2=...." and the result will be the same, if they are the equal.

Thanks for letting me know Denis. I'll search it out and fix it. :)

Juergen, didn't get around to the update last night, but will surely have it out by the weekend.

No problem for me. I've done my part. :)

I think, the most important reason for the update is the bugfix of live_update.js, because you forgot a few sliders and you get the well known script errors on windows.
The translations are nice to have for german or french users, but not that important.

My plans for the evening got canceled, so I suddenly had time to work on galleries.

TTG Slimbox Gallery 2.62 is now available. This update includes the German translations and LR/Windows bug fixes by Juergen Ritter, mentioned above. I've also changed the URL to the gallery documentation/download page. The link here provided is the new address; previous links will be broken.

@Denis: Please add these new strings to your localization file:

"$$$/SiteInfo/XMLAutoIndex/autoIndexText3="
"$$$/Appearance/SelectionGallery/checkbox/Label=Checkbox Adjustments"

Done!

In addition to the french and german version, you will also get a canadian french version if I can solve a couple of things:
  1. Translation for both Title and Caption is the same in french (Titre). Do you think I can use "Theme" (Thème) rather than "Title"? OH! It is just coming to my ming that I can also use "Grand titre"...
  2. I was not able to find any meaning to the word "scoot". If you explain in more words what it does or mean in this context, I will be able to find something. I just understand that it is about "going away fast", "leaving in a rush" or "left off chips" in woodworking.
I named my version "TranslatedStrings_fr-ca.txt". Why fr + fr-ca? Just for the same reasons that you have US-colors and UK-colours... ;)

A last question: Will accented characters (àéèô...) cause problem or do I have to code them in a given way?

Thanks,

Sorry, I said Denis above, and I meant to address LPerrier. When I've been looking at code for hours, I tend to lose track of other things, like threads and thoughts and continuity ... and that's why I usually release templates with bugs, sometimes talk to the wrong people. ;-P

@Denis: A French-Canadian translation won't get picked up automatically, as Lightroom only has the one French version. However, users can manually name the file TranslatedStrings_fr.txt and use it instead of the French-French version that way. If you want to do it, I'll include it. :)

"Scoot" here just means "push it left or right".

Extra text?

Hello,
Just installed TTG Slimbox Gallery and am very impressed with the ease of use and features. Thanks!

I'd like to add some static html text underneath the thumbnails - what file do I edit so that this text is created on 'Export' each time?

Also, I have the Selection Gallery enabled - How do I change the colour of the tick boxes? They are bright red and rather too distracting...

Keep up the good work...

Mike,

Enable and configure Annotations to create text beneath the thumbnails.

As for the tick boxes, you can replace the images used in the gallery resources folder.

Cheers,
Matt

Extra text 2

Thanks for the reply, Matt.

I didn't explain myself very well...

What I want is 1 paragraph of text near the bottom of the page, after all the thumbnails, but above the 'submit text' form.

I tried editing 'thumbnailindex.html', and can get the text in the right place, but its probably not the best way to do it:

</lr:ThumbnailGrid>

MY TEXT

<% if model.nonCSS.enableSelectionGallery then %>

Any better ideas?



Also, I'd like to re-arrange the submit fields, but (eg) changing the 'size' params seems to have no effect:




<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" size="3'" name="name" /></p>

What am I doing wrong?



Yes, found the tick/cross png's and have changed.

Thanks!

To change the field sizes, you'll need to edit them via CSS.

As for the paragraph of text, that's the correct location. You should wrap your text in

tags, though.

I started using the slimbox 2.63 and just love it.
So I did all the changes in the settings panel and wanted to save my settings.
I clicked on web -> save web settings and thought I saved my settings by doing this.
Next time I started LR all my settings were gone and everything was back to the original settings.

What did I do wrong?
How do I save my settings?

Thanks for any input

First, thank you for creating these fantastic galleries, like manna from heaven.

What I want to be able to do is have the image file names under the images in the gallery (like the shadowbox gallery). The caption in the slimbox gallery is the other must have which words great. (note: using the shadowbox gallery with captions if the caption is too long the following lines disappear behind the shadowbox frame, can this be changed in some way?)

Wondering if I'm missing something right under my nose to get the slimbox gallery to show file names under the thumbnails?

Thanks so much

Hi Art,

When I get around to updating the gallery, I'll be adding image ID plates like in the Shadowbox gallery. Hoping to get to it sooner rather than later, but I've been busy with school.
