Hi,

Trying to modify the web photo gallery option and running into a few sticking points:

1) On the index page, it provides the information "page 1 of 2" which is nice, but the "P" in page should be capitalized. Where is this so I can fix it? I’ve poured over the source code, but can’t find it, so it must be in the program somewhere.

2) We just upgraded from Photoshop 6, and for that we were able to list the file names with just the name, not the extension ( file is named "1" vs. "1.jpg"). I can’t figure out how to do this in Photoshop CS. I have no idea if I knew how to do it – I want the caption for the image to always just have the number and not to include the extension (subpage, index page, caption, thumbnail, etc.).

3) Separate issue: I just upgraded from Win98 to Win2000, and now it won’t let me save a file as "1", "2", etc. In Win98, I had to name the files "01", "02" etc. so that they would be displayed in the proper order. Any suggestions on how to do this for Win2000 so the thumbnail images have a consistent naming system and are displayed in the proper order?

I’ve spent all day on this, so any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!

What are you talking about?

In Win98, I had to name the files "01", "02" etc. so that they would be displayed in the proper order

Under XP, file sorting take consecutive digits te treat them as number. So you don’t need to prepend 0 anymore to get the right order. Don’t know if this is so in 2000.

Alicia,

I don’t think you will be able to capitalize the ‘P’ – it comes from the variable %PAGE% which is internally generated

Thanks – any idea how to have only the file name and not the extension ("1" for "1.jpg") to show?

Alicia,

In the HTML will be lines like:

<A HREF ="image_name.jpg" width="xx" Height="xx">image_name.jpg</a>

Needs modifying to:

<A HREF ="image_name.jpg" width="xx" Height="xx">image_name</a>

Alicia, If you are unable to modify the code so that %FILENAME% returns the filename without the extension you could try unchecking filename in the WPG dialogs and instead rely on Title. You would have to modify the metadata so that Title shows the numbers or text you want displayed of course.

Alicia,

You broke the forum! <g>

If you post HTML here and wish it to be visible, you MUST put a space after each opening ‘<‘ HTML Tag bracket – otherwise the forum software will attempt to interpret it.

I have fixed the code for you…

Now, View the file in a Web browser and select View Source. That’s where you will see the jpg referenced. If using MSIE, view source will open the file in Notepad and you can edit it there.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your suggestions – I finally figured it out (can’t you see how happy I am!). Need to replace %FILENAME% with %ALT% in the caption file and the subheader file and it works. Boy, what a pain. Now if only I could figure out how to capitalize the "P" in "page 1 of 2"…

Thanks again for your interest and your help. Have a great day!

Now if only I could figure out how to capitalize the "P" in "page 1 of 2"…

Where you see:

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">%PAGE%</font>

add the following css command:

text-transform:uppercase

like so:

<font style="text-transform:uppercase" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">%PAGE%</font>

here’s a ref to the command:
