Take a look at the Galleries on this site, to get an idea of how the web pages generated by this method. While you are there why not buy a picture or two.....you know you want to.
How to do it
- Download the Paypal.zip file.
- Unzip the contents into the iView HTML template directory which is under the Plug-ins directory of iView media pro.
Set your products and paypal items
Open the Media.html file (its in the paypal directory you just created) in notepad or an HTML Editor. Find the section that looks like this:
<!-- iView HTML Engine Directives
(iView:InMediaWidth 500)
(iView:InMediaHeight 500)
(iView:Variable name = "Gallery Title" default = "")
(iView:Variable name = "PayPalAccount" default = "paypal@paypal.com")
(iView:Variable name = "ReturnScreen" default = "http://www.yoursite.com/Success.html")
(iView:Variable name = "CancelScreen" default = "http://www.yoursite.com/Galleries.html")
(iView:Variable name = "CurrencySymbol" default = "£")
(iView:Variable name = "CurrencyCode" default = "GBP")
(iView:Variable name = "Item1Description" default = "18 x 12 inch Mounted print")
(iView:Variable name = "Item1CodeNo" default = "")
(iView:Variable name = "Item1Price" default = "75")
(iView:Variable name = "Item2Description" default = "18 x 12 inch Framed & Mounted print")
(iView:Variable name = "Item2CodeNo" default = "")
(iView:Variable name = "Item2Price" default = "125")
(iView:Variable name = "Item3Description" default = "24 x 18 Mounted print")
(iView:Variable name = "Item3CodeNo" default = "")
(iView:Variable name = "Item3Price" default = "250")
(iView:Variable name = "Item4Description" default = "24 x 18 inch Framed & Mounted print")
(iView:Variable name = "Item4CodeNo" default = "")
(iView:Variable name = "Item4Price" default = "300")
-->You need to change the value in quotes for default for each line that begins with (iView:Variable name
The Settings:
Having made all the changes, save the file.
Creating the Galleries
Now go to iView and select the items that you wish to appear in your gallery.
Select Make>HTML Gallery...
On the Theme tag check the settings.
Click the Theme Fields Tab and change any fields that you need to.
Click Make... and chose a directory to load the gallery into.
That's about it, if you have any questions please add them as comments at the bottom of this article and I will see if I can help.

I'd like to say hopw grateful I am that someone has taken the trouble (and expertise!) to put this plugin together for iView. It is just what I was looking for to put shots for a Arts Centre dramatic groups productions on line so that they can be easily viewed and ordered - Chekov's Uncle Vanya being the most recent on http://sac.davidhansfordphoto.co.uk - I've already starting to personaise the coding but this has given me a fine basis on which to work. Thanks again!
Thanks David,
glad to be of service :)

Great Template. Is it possible when generating the gallery for the file name or caption to be added to the purchase page so it can be added to the paypal shopping basket
Hi - I don't know off hand. I will have a look and see if I can find out.
Sorry - I understand the question now. The caption should be added automatically and show up in your Paypal cart automatically. Try it on my galleries for a demo.

The multi gallery web page design you created with iView was very impressive especially as the shopping cart seemed to work across the galleries. Can this multi gallery layout (incorporating the shopping cart) be created using Lightroom instead?
Yes indeed it can zd. take a look at my version for Lightroom. Though I would strongly recommend taking a look at www.lightroomgalleries.com as they are the real experts in Lightroom web galleries.
