 Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2005 10:45 pm Post subject: using my own template with web photo gallery |
 |
|
Hi,
Have been wrestling with this for several days. I love the PhotoshopCS photo gallery, but I want to be able to insert it into the template for the site I'm designing.
The problem is, no matter which style I use, something goes wrong: either the gallery ends up underneath the site images, or there are no images in the gallery.
I know I'm supposed to edit the files that Photoshop creates (caption, subpage, etc...) but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Can anyone help? I want to have this finished by Tuesday.
TIA,
Rebecca |

I usually just create 2 temp folders on my desktop, drop my original images in one, and use the other as the dstination. Let Photoshop do its thing, scoop the webgallery out of the destination folder and drop it into my site folder.
haven't actually tried using my site as teh destination. You could be running into problems becouse of the naming convention, it creates. Not sure. |

when you do the scooping, howt does the gallery tie into your existing design? I like the desktop idea; never got that the destination was that important. |

I usually create 'Events' so on the gallery page I list the event name.
Clicking the Event name Pops the gallery .
You can use 1 simple line of code.
<p onclick="window.open ('../linktoyourgalleryindexfile.htm', 'width=700,height=550, toolbar=no, menubar=no, resizable=no, status=no, scrollbars=no');"> Event Name </p>
Each event is a folder which contains the scooped data.
follow me ?
The destination folder can be important if your pointing it to your actual site.
To be safe don't, and then manually add the gallery. |

I must be missing something, because I tried that, and it didn't work. I put the files into my site folder, but all it did was replace my index.htm file with the gallery file. I'm using Dreamweaver, and I have a template I'm using for every page of the site. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for your patience! |
