Question

problems creating photo web gallery

I have PS CS5. In the past I have been able to create a web photo gallery in Bridge. I've posted in on my website and it worked. I have used both the HTML gallery and Flash galleries. Now when I make the HTML gallery, it does not work on my websites.   I'm doing it the same as I did before when it worked - Bridge creates the gallery, saves it to the folder, link is added to the web page. The web gallery page displays but the photos aren't there. When I test it with internal browser, it works correctly. It's just when I publish it to the web that it doesn't show the photos.  I've checked it with different browsers. What could be wrong?

Visitors to the website who don't have Adobe Flash and/or their device doesn't allow Flash can't view photos so the HTML gallery is needed.

Is you Web server on a Mac running OSX?  My server is also on a Unix type server.  Unix file system are normally case sensitive where Windows File system is not   So on Windows "FileName" and "filename" are the same where on Unix file system they are not. Make sure your Templates file system references have the popper Case and have the correct Path and file names.  Compare your servers Web gallery tree names to the HTML generated by the Web Photo Gallery Plug-in using your Gallery template .htm files. The Paths, File names and case need to match else  you thumbnails and image files will be unresolved.

I installed the Plug-in. I created a new "lawn_party_test" photo gallery. The photos are in published to the website but it still shows a broken link/path.

Impossible to say anything. You have left out the most important information: To which site/ hosting provider you are actually uploading your files using what methodology, including a link to the pages in question.

Hosting provider is Godaddy. FTP files using Filezilla.

Currently only the first group of photos "lawn party" has a link to HTML photo gallery (view with simple viewer).

That is the file the PS CS5 is creating when I make an HTML gallery. It's not letting me post a screenshot of the computer files. I don't see any image folder within the gallery or any jpg images.

In the Flash gallery, there is an image folder with jpg images inside.

Try using  Adobe html templates not yours it shoud create at least image folders Images and thumbnails.  Resized version of you images should be in the two folders on you local disk.   It sounds like the optional CS5  Plug-in may have become corrupted.  Try reinstall the optional pluge ans its other required folders and file like in presets. Look at the tree in the left File explorer panel


I'll try to reinstall the Plug In. I had a previous problem with Bridge export panel had missing tools. Found a work-around on this board. So it looks like something in the program is not functioning properly.

I've tried to find an old version of one of my websites when it worked properly. Hopefully I can find a back up file and see if there is an image folder with it. Not that it will fix it but curious.

Not sure what you mean by using Adobe html templates
