We are creating a paintball portal in which there will be many pictures that required and the ability to sort them by date and/or event. We also needed a way that players could easily identify the picture by a file name for future reference. We first attempted this via 'tables" with in IMS Web Engine and although we were able to accomplish our goals it was very time consuming (we have approx 250 pics a day) and not that profesional looking. Working with Bruceee and Extreme Thumbnail Generation we were able to process a days worth of photo's and have them posted on the web in less then 30 minutes in a very professional format. The key issue that needed to be resolved is that all thumbnail tools we found create an "index.html" file along with several folders. This created a real problem as we needed many different albums on the same site. The solution ended up to be fairly simple. After creating the thumbnails which again created an "index/html" file and three folders, we created another folder that was named for a date or event. The index.html and three folders were moved into this master folder. This allows us to have as many master folders (photo albums) on the same site. In IMS or SS you simply link to the folder by using http//: "website name.com"/"folder name"/index.html. Our site is basically in beta mode and being completely redesigned now that we have at least a small hint at what we are doing. The original testing site is http://www.azballbusters.com.

Hi ya
listen i just want a little bit of advice i have the same problem as you did ,ie. I need to put a large number of photos on to my site www.photosmxirl.com on a weekly basis and i need them to be in thumbnail form and when someone clicks on them for them to go to a large format but to be honest i havent got a clue where to start i have my site up but i cant start the gallery because i dont know what to do is there any chance you could tell me what you did as it would be a great help and would sort out all my problems .....and if you ever come to Ireland let me know and ill show you the time of your life ...lol..ha ha
Thanks a million

I will send you an email on the steps it takes to get thumbnial galleries posted. It may seem complicated by I can get 100's of pics in less then 30 minutes.

I will email you at your posted email address - if that is not correct let me know.

skydad,

I also have lots of pictures to put on my site and would appreciate getting your instructions. You can email to me through here.

Also this may be something that many people would like - have you considered posting the directions?

Thanks very much.
Rod

nwboater - The instructions are about a page and a half in MS Word. Is there a way to attach a doc on the forums? You can email me at azballbusters@cox.net and I will reply with the instructions to you directly if you like.
