SlideshowPro Director is a separate content management and publishing system offered through slideshowpro.net. Like Lightroom, it provides a space for you to manage/organize your photos, but is instead completely browser based and publishes slideshow content "on-demand" from any SWF containing SlideShowPro, whether published from SlideShowPro Player for Lightroom or :stapi:. The software can be purchased and installed on your own web server (if it meets the software requirements), or subscribed to as part of a slideshowpro.com hosting package. This chapter will explain how content is loaded and published using SlideShowPro Director with SlideShowPro Player for Lightroom.
If you've already setup Director per the instructions, or have subscribed to a hosting package, upload and organize your content however you like. When complete, you should have at least one album, or possibly a gallery containing multiple albums. Whichever you'd like to use, click on the "Summary" link inside an album/gallery, and look for the "XML File Path" module. Click the "Copy" link to copy.
Return to SlideShowPro Player for Lightroom, and toggle open the "Output Settings" panel. At the very bottom is a module named "Data." Click inside the XML File Path input field, and erase the default "images.xml" value. Paste the XML File Path you copied from Director into this field. Tab out of the field to save. Then toggle open the XML File Type drop-down immediately below and choose "Director." The preview of SlideShowPro Player for Lightroom in the Work Area will update.
When you have everything setup the way you want it to look online, click "Export..." to export your gallery to your desktop. Because Lightroom (the app itself) has no way of knowing that you're not loading content from outside itself, it will publish images and XML for whatever content you have selected in your Filmstrip. You may delete this unnecessary content post-export if you'd like.
