Index Page Include slide show Automatic looping of index pages either by clicking the slideshow button or hitting the space bar. You can give the delay time in seconds. Visitors also can change the delay time by double clicking the "start slideshow" button and entering a different value. Loop Shall the slide show start over reaching the last index page? Page transition Fade-in/-out effect on index pages. Shows only in Internet Explorer. Guestbook You can have a guestbook attached to each index page. The questbook only works after uploaded to a server. The server has to support PHP scripting (check with your service provider), and you need to grant writing access for the "guestbook" folder located in the album's root folder. This can be done with an FTP program (CHMOD 777), or via the the control panel of your website (if it has one). Numbered Linklist Choose if you want a Google-like page-list to be generated on index pages, and where (i.e. above or below the thumbnails). The linklist looks like this: Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | > |» Folder Comments Comments can be added to folders just as to images in JAlbum's Edit pane. Here you can specify where to display those comments. Enhanced Picture You can have one picture displayed in large size for each folder. Please note, when you use virtual folders (the album elements are added separately from different folders) you cannot use the "This" type, because virtual folders does not exists phisically on your hard drive so there's no folder where the skin can find the enhanced picture. However it can find when you add a whole folder once. Omit | Top | Left | Right The position for the Enhanced picture relative to thumbnail table. Omit = no enhanced picture. Type This You can choose the enhanced picture by it's filename. The skin will look for the file named "this" in each folder and displays it only if finds one. Don't forget to exculde this file in the Edit panel if you don't want to put the file in the album the regular way. It can be useful e.g. for displaying a map on each index page. The picture will inherit all the filters attached to slidepage pictures. If the picture is already there in the output folder (the same as the index page's) the program will copy the enhanced file only if you chose the "All" option before making the album (or "Rebuild all" with Jalbum 6.x). You can force the re-copying of the enhanced picture by removing it from the output folder in the case you've changed the size and don't want to rebuild all the pictures. Please note, when you use virtual folders (the album elements are added separately from different folders) you need to place the file you want to show in Album's directory. You can open this directory by Tools / Open Directories / Output directory. First Picture The program automatically chooses the first picture from the directory (you can move the desired picture manually to the first place in the Edit panel). Folder Icon The picture chosen as "Folder thumbnail" in the Edit panel will be used. SizeYou can specify here the picture bounds of the enhanced picture. The images will resized to fit in this box and will keep their original aspect ratio. If this size is bigger than the original size, no resizing will done. The Omit thumbnailIf you use "First Picture" and "Folder Icon" you must not exculde the chosen picture — doing so JAlbum cannot generate the icon for them. Even though these pictures will be included in the album you can instruct Chameleon to remove its thumbnail from the index page table. If you use "This" type, it's better to exclude the picture manually in the Edit tab. |
