LRG One with PayPal Shopping Cart - Fix options
This is for those of you who may have been getting the strange “xxxBASE64_STARTxxxNHg2IFNlcGlhIC0gozUuNTAxxxBASE64_ENDxxx:” error with PayPal we now have a couple fix options thanks to users Luiscar and Tim, thanks guys!
Luiscar Fix:
Firstly, this will not work when testing with an invalid paypal account so don’t bother. Once you’ve got your own valid uk based account in the settings you will need to make sure you do the following.
1) Go to your selling preferences - Edit profile > Seller preferences > Language Encoding.
2) Select More Options. If not already set you need to select - Windows-1252.
Having nothing in there will cause the base64 error without fail.
Tim’s Fix:
1) Login to your PayPal account
2) Go to profiles>Language Encoding>More options and change the encoding to ISO-8859-1 & the box below to YES.

TTG LR Pages released
TTG LR Pages
Adobe Lightroom has made web photo galleries easy. Gallery indices have brought disparate galleries together into navigable collections. But still, something has been missing.
While Lightroom has allowed users to disseminate their photography to the web, web photo galleries do not a website make. TTG LR Pages generates what the standard templates do not — not galleries, but pages — finally allowing Lightroom users to generate complete websites from within the Lightroom Web module.
Features
TTG LR Pages generates two pages, intended for use as a splash, or Home, page and an About page. Each page allows for one image, and up to five headings and paragraphs; the template allows for up to five menu items, plus a contact link and linkable ID plate. Four layouts are available, and each of the two pages’ layouts can be chosen independent of the other.
w/ MonoSlideshow
Optionally, the image on the splash page can be replaced with a slideshow, as on the demo page. This requires TTG MonoSlideshow Gallery and a purchased copy of MonoSlideshow ($19.95, www.monoslideshow.com).
w/ Other TTG Templates
TTG LR Pages is designed to work aesthetically with other TTG templates, such as TTG XML Auto Index, TTG Shadowbox Gallery, and other TTG galleries. Used in conjunction with other TTG templates, TTG LR Pages can be used to generate a complete and cohesive web-based photo portfolio/website.

LRG Complete 1.1 to 1.1.1
Thanks for the many kind words about this template, and thanks for your bug reports and suggestions. I have fixed a couple minor bugs (thanks for bug reports from users) and revised some of the code for this template for beta release 1.1.1 of LRG Complete. Please use this version from now on and delete any previous version. Looks like we are very close to a final release of this template. Once we get a good core code base for this template i can then start adding features such as slideshows, paypal, image selection and comments.
For those of you new to this Lightroom template, The LRG Complete template features:
Please read the detailed README.html file in the zip with installation and usage instructions.
Remember, this template is still in its beta stage. Bug reports, feature requests, suggestions are all very welcome

TTG Shadowbox Gallery 2.52 released
TTG Shadowbox Gallery 2.52 is unleashed! This is a small, but significant update. After getting some helpful help on the Shadowbox support forums, I’ve corrected the Javascript implementation so that Shadowbox loads first, thumbnails second. This resolves the issue where images would load into a new page if the user clicked a thumbnail before the page completed loading. Now, even if a thumbnail is clicked before the page loads fully, the shadowbox will be launched.
TTG Panic Gallery released
TTG Panic Gallery is a new HTML gallery template for the Adobe Lightroom Web module, featuring a slick slide-scrolling effect.
The gallery loads thumbnails and large images together into a single page, and is meant for small presentations, but can handle more as you like. The gallery supports TTG XML Auto Index and PicLens, and the thumbnails can be positioned above or below the viewport.

TTG Shadowbox Gallery 2.47 released
At long last, TTG Shadowbox Gallery 2.47 is unleashed! Likely, I’ve been looking forward to this release more than anyone else. This is a major update, and includes the following additions and changes, and then some.
- A menu! Five customizable menu items + slideshow + contact.
- Improved support for Piclens, and now supports PicLens Lite. Support for custom logo and MP3 audio using PicLens Lite; logo and audio support will be supported in a future version of the PicLens client.
- Shadowbox: dropped themes, added controls for colors and borders; additional changes.
- Reorganized Web module controls and panels; lots of additions and relocations for ease of use.
- A major overhaul of code, in places both HTML and Lua. Cleaner, leaner, better!
- Bug fixes (and hopefully no new bugs introduced).
I’ve put a lot of work into this update, have maybe even gone a little nuts under the hood. I think this version is a much, much better product than the last one as a result. However, due to the extent of the changes, there may be newly introduced bugs. I hope this isn’t the case, but I’m sure you’ll all let me know if anything rears its ugly head.
That said, I hope you like it. Here’s a sample gallery. Give it a good work-out, and be sure to play the gallery in slideshow mode to check out the new PicLens features.
Cheers,
Matt
