Hallmark Student Open House Website

by theturninggate on March 29, 2009

Hallmark Institute of Photography’s annual Student Open House is fast approaching, and I put together a simple website for the occasion showing off some student work. The site design is simple, comprising only a single page and three galleries. To produce the galleries (saving me loads of time), I built a custom Lightroom web engine, then incorporating the resulting code into the page. Get a look at the site here: http://student.hallmark.edu/openhouse/.

Great work! Will you be selling this gallery too? I hope so …

A TTG styled version of it is in the works. I’ve been making slow progress, though, whenever I can steal time away from my school work. For the release, I’m also trying to rewrite some of the code for the shared aspects of my galleries — header, idplate, etc. — in an attempt to make it a bit more versatile. And I’m trying to include a few other convenience features. So, rather than bastardizing an existing gallery and swapping out the presentation engine, I’m trying to build this one from the base up and hoping to innovate a little along the way.

Woh.. that is impressive looking.
Sigh. I should really look into JS frameworks. All taking away from shooting time!

Man I downloaded the TTG XML Shadowbox Auto Index a while ago because I thought I would be able to add the simpleviewer to it but I am having troubles. The new layout dont let me find the old samples.

Please how can I make the TTG XML Shadowbox Auto Index work with the simplevier??

Hi Eduardo,

Use TTG Simpleviewer, which supports TTG Auto Index without any additional configuration. Just drop your Simpleviewer galleries (as folders) into the index folder, and it should work. See the info page for TTG Auto Index, in the menu above, for instructions.
