TTG Smooth Gallery
TTG Smooth Gallery is an HTML-based template for Adobe Lightroom that employs Jon Schemoul’s SmoothGallery in lieu of the standard thumbnail grid. Based upon the MooTools Javascript framework, SmoothGallery offers a Flash-like experience without the Flash.
TTG Smooth Gallery
Sample Gallery Forum Thread Installation
TTG Smooth Gallery comes in two flavors. The standard version allows SmoothGallery images to be hyperlinked to HTML pages containing larger version images. The Basic version presents images only in the SmoothGallery and does not include additional HTML pages for images, and allows embedded hyperlinks to point to any location via the Image Settings pane.
About Your Purchase
Upon purchasing a TTG gallery, you will receive a download URL valid for five uses. After five uses, your URL will expire and a new purchase will be necessary to keep up with updates. Gallery updates will always be available from that same URL. Thus, the URL can be used for the initial download, plus four updates. Be sure to save your URL in a safe place, as it cannot be retrieved if lost.
System Requirements
TTG Smooth Gallery requires Lightroom 1.3.1 or higher.

Are you willing to update for Smootg Gallery 2.1dev? Is it already compatible? Thank you very much.
I will add it to my to-do list and get to it when I can.
this is free, why yo sold this????
I dont speak english
SmoothGallery is free, but it has taken me a great deal of work to create a web engine that allows it to work in Lightroom. The Lightroom compatibility is what is being sold.
Hi there,
Working with the smooth gallery and I have a question,
Is there a way to change the timing for the slide show ?
And if your half way the slide show is there a quick way back to the first
slide ?
Regards,
Peter
Just got TTG Smooth Gallery, my first impression is that it look great for my needs.
I am just wondering what can be done with the “Make Set” option? Is it possible to group images? Like http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/showcase/gallery-set/ where two groups/galleries are shown? How can it be done in TTG Smooth Gallery?
Thx,
Ray
Hi Ray,
It can be done, but requires manual intervention. You would need to export two separate galleries with the Make Set feature enabled, then merge the assets and code into a single gallery.
@theturninggate
Is there some where documentation, how to merge it?
Do you have plans to have this gallery set featured from LR?
Gr Ray
I made a video tutorial showing a similar process for Monoslideshow. Different code, but the same idea if you’d like to check it out: http://lightroom.theturninggate.net/2008/01/creating-a-multi-album-gallery-with-monoslideshow/
Not sure what you mean by the second question.
Thx for the video tutorial … I will look into it …
I mean by the second question, whether it will be possible to create a multiple album gallery without manual code changes.
For example: The user creates a LR collection with images of two subjects. E.g. Party A and Party B, when each image has a corresponding keyword then based on keywords the multiple album gallery could be created.
Example:
picture_1.dng -> keyword: party A -> album: Party A
picture_2.dng -> keyword: party A -> album: Party A
picture_3.dng -> keyword: party A -> album: Party A
picture_4.dng -> keyword: party A -> album: Party A
picture_5.dng -> keyword: party B -> album: Party B
picture_6.dng -> keyword: party B -> album: Party B
picture_7.dng -> keyword: party B -> album: Party B
picture_8.dng -> keyword: party B -> album: Party B
This should based on the keyword generate a gallery with two albums. Each album would contain 4 images.
Hopefully the question is clear now.
Regards,
Ray
I see what you mean, but your method is beyond what Lightroom is capable of. It might be possible to break image collections into separate galleries by specifying a numerical cut-off — first 20 images in gallery one, next 15 images in gallery two, etc. — but I would need to look into it. I have other projects I’m working on right now, though, and not sure when I’ll get back to the SmoothGallery. There is work I want to do on it, and it will eventually be revisited, but it’s a ways down the list right now.
Oke thx for responds…
Good luck with you other projects. Hopefully SmoothGallery comes back on top of the list. Until then manual manipulation is our only option

Is it possible to not put the comments below each photo?
Yes! Just disable the “Show Info Pane” option in the Appearance pane.
I just paypaled and downloaded the smooth gallery. I put it the directory as described for mac [I made the web gallery folder]. but when I opened lightroom 2 I didn’t see the new listing under the engines.
library/application support/adobe/lightroom/web galleries now has folder ‘ttg_smooth_11a with ttg_smoothgallery_basic.lrwebengine and ttg_smoothgallery.lrwebengine. Can you tell me what I’ve done wrong?
Becky Davis
Put the .lrwebengine packages directly into the Web Galleries folder; eliminate the ‘ttg_smooth_11a’ folder.
got it – it is working! I like what I see. Question about the audio component: what path is the gallery looking for? on my computer? online?
@Becky Davis
I presume you must be referring to the PicLens lite integration. The audio only plays when the gallery is viewed using the Piclens Lite slideshow. Frankly, I’m not a fan of the feature, and have been phasing out Piclens Lite support from the galleries. As implemented here, it’s out-dated and hacked to pieces, and it’s a nightmare to keep up with.
But to answer your question, it’s looking for an online location.
Hey man, I bought your gallery and I like it, i used the previous free versions too but it seems that this one has a problem with google Chrome… Look at this: http://89.36.25.40/~nunti/decoratiuni-sala.html. It gets stuck when the lightbox is expanding and the big image is not displayed … Thanks!
Looks like you’re using the Slimbox gallery, which is pretty outdated at this point. I plan to update it in the relatively near future, and hope that will fix things in Chrome.
I noticed in the download that you have been including lytebox css and js files. Any plans on implementation into the Lightroom script? A checkbox to use it? I managed to get it working with a little elbow grease but it would be really slick if it works right out of lightroom.
No. If anything, it will be coming out. Lytebox is used by PicLens Lite, which is something I no longer include support for in my current line of engines.
Peter Dreuning asked ” Is there a way to change the timing for the slide show ?”. Except if I am blind you did not answer. Thank you in advance to indicate the file and the command text to change.
SmoothGallery provides no option for adjusting the timing of slideshow transitions. It only offers a true/false option for turning the timed transitions on/off.
Sorry english is not my country language. I visibly did not clearly say that I was ready to put “my hand in javascript” or HTML . I want to say : may you give me the javascript command and in which file this command is located.
As I said, timing duration is not an option.
If you wish to modify the Javascript on your own, you may do that. Such modifications lie outside the scope of my Lightroom engine, however, and are therefore outside the scope of my support. I suggest contacting the SmoothGallery author directly.
Thank you I undertand, I will contact SmoothGallery author. Will keep you inform.
The modification is very simple and it is in TTG coding not Smooth. In index.html line 66 replace \delay: 5000\ by \delay: 10000\ to multiply the timing by two.
