I am a very inexperienced webmaster (using this term very loosely) and have self taught myself what little I do know about web pages. And I hope this type of basic "how to" 101-level question is ok for this forum... <br /><br />I took over a website early in 2005 and have for the most part only made modifications to the HTML created by a predecessor who was a much more highly skilled web master than I will ever be. My question is simple if someone could provide me some guidance:<br /><br />- How do I build a link to auto or manual scroll thru a directory of photos (.jpg files)? <br />- What directory do I use to store my photos (.jpg files)? e.g., /public_html/images or ???<br /><br />Thank you in advance for any assistance or pointers. I appreciate it. <br /><br /> <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":notworthy:" border="0" alt="notworthy.gif" /><!--content-->
Do you want to be able to see the pictures while scrolling? If so, you may want to use a gallery program.<br /><br />You can store your photos in any directory you want.<!--content-->
Hi Barry,<br /><br />Gail, who is a member here, made a page showing off the features of 3 different gallery scripts. You can see it here <a href="http://www.gailplayground.com/" target="_blank">http://www.gailplayground.com/</a><br /><br />The simplest to use of the three is the 'PHP Easy Thumbnailer'.<br /><br />HTH, Tom<!--content-->
Thanks very much Tom. I have just looked at gailplayground.com and I think it will be helpful. I was looking earlier at the Gallery website (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://gallery.menalto.com">http://gallery.menalto.com</a><!-- m -->) and that tool looked quite involved to use. Hopefully the 'PHP Easy Thumbnailer' will be easier for a person at my limited skill level. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Barry <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/thumbup1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup1:" border="0" alt="thumbup1.gif" /><!--content-->
A couple more to look at are<br />Irfaview and picasa<br /><br />Quick demos<br /><a href="http://www.thepetscorner.com/irfanview/index.html" target="_blank">my Irfanview demo</a><br /><a href="http://www.thepetscorner.com/picasa/index.html" target="_blank">my picasa demo</a><!--content-->
