META DATA DEFAULTS
All of the following code blocks are all located within the EDITABLE - META DATA DEFAULTS comment section of galleryMaker.xml. All of these values you will be changing in the following section are just default values for the various options within the right panel of the web module. These values will all appear in the “Labels” section within the right panel of the web module. They are user changeable, so whatever you enter can here can be changed at any time without having to modify the template. I would strongly suggest that you look at the template from within Lightroom and play around with the different text options in the right panel under the “Labels” section. This will help you get an idea of where the everything will be displayed on the page.
All of the text values we are going to go through below do NOT need to be changed at all, but some of you may find it useful to change them. Each one of them is changeable through the right panel of the web module.
DEFINE THE COLLECTION TITLE
>$$$/AgWPG/Templates/HTML/DefaultValues/ExampleGroupTitle=My Photographs
The above code defines the default value for the Title of the gallery to be created. Example, “My Birthday Photos”. As mentioned above, this is just a default value and you will be able to change it in the right panel of the web module. Enter a Collection Title after “ExampleGroupTitle=”.
DEFINE THE COLLECTION DESCRIPTION
>$$$/AgWPG/Templates/HTML/DefaultValues/ExampleGroupDescription=Created by Lightroomgalleries.com
The above code defines the default value for the Description of the gallery to be created. Example, “These are my favorite photos”. Again, this is just a default value and you will be able to change it in the right panel of the web module. Enter a Collection Description after “ExampleGroupTitle=”.
DEFINE THE SITE TITLE
$$$/AgWPG/Templates/HTML/DefaultValues/properties/SiteTitle=Site Title
The above code defines the default value for the Title of the gallery to be created. This Title is displayed highest on the HTML pages and also has the largest text. Again, this is just a default value and you will be able to change it in the right panel of the web module. Enter a Site Title after “SiteTitle=”.
DEFINE YOUR CONTACT INFO
>$$$/AgWPG/Templates/HTML/DefaultValues/properties/ContactInfo=Contact Name
The above code defines the default values for your contact information. You need to define default values for “Contact Name” and “Contact Link”. These are pretty self explanatory. Again, this is just a default value and you will be able to change it in the right panel of the web module. Enter a Contact Name “ContactInfo=” and a Contact Link after “ContactLink=” .
That’s all for the code we need to change within the EDITABLE - META DATA DEFAULTS comment section. Now lets move on to the next section of code.
