I have created a photo gallery which all works fine, but what I would like
to do is when I click on a link in the gallery I would like to have the
picture pull up on a page that has a theme on it instead of the default
white page with nothing else but the picture.

Can someone point me in the direction I need to go? Hlink, Xlink? Some
form of parameter passing wit java? Or maybe I am overlooking the obvious
cuz I haven't done this forever.

Thanks
Craig
 
You'll need to build a new page for each large image and link to them from
regular thumbnails ... not a photogallery.

No there is a way using some html/xml code but I can't remember how it went.
I refuse to make 800+ pages when all I need is one single page and a script.
I know I may have to dump the photo gallery but. . .

I think it was to use hlink or some other xml type in the code to pass a
variable or something and I don't have the old pages I did using that method
anymore.

Maybe I will have to check out porn sites to see how to do it again. Maybe
I am posting in the wrong group, sorry if I am, just thought someone would
be able to point me where I needed to go (besides hell.)

But thanks for the suggestion.

If you are hosted on a server that support using ASP, then see Developer
Resources | Scripts on my site below where you can pass the image name to a
single page for displaying.

That will work fine! Thank you very much!

Craig

PS Very Nice site too by the way!
 
For anyone else out there that is in the need to know catagory!
(Special Thanks to Thomas) The one caveate is you will need a server
supporting Active Server Pages.

To have your photogallery link to a themed page instead of a blank one. . .
Create a page with a theme and anything else you want on that page and put
the following line where ever you want the picture <img
src="<%=Request("image")%>"> This can also be formatted with width and
size limiters or whatever else if you like.

In the photogallery's real.htm page locate the "a href=" tag and put the
following before the name of the picture file and after the directory where
the picture is located. "displaypic.asp?image=" but don't put the quotes.
For example . . .
<a href="../../Sturgis/Images/2001/displaypic.asp?image=scan.jpg">

I have mine opening in the main frame of the window. Works just slick! It
did take some time updating the links, but it is a whole lot better than
creating a page for every pic or creating my own custom photogallery pages.

PS This is easier than I remember! I can't thank you enough Thomas.
 
Craig,

You are welcome.

Just watch that the fp doesn't ruin the real.htm page if you right click and
add pictures etc. through the gallery dialog box.
