Why could not you import the folder into your site? What error did you get or
exactly what happened.

Here is how you do it:
Create your JAlbum outside of FP...into a folder somewhere on your computer.
When you are happy with how it looks and works:

Open FP
File | Open Web / Site
File | Import...Add Folder
Browse to the Folder that you saved your JAlbum ...blah blah blah ok
ok....that will bring your JAlbum into your website. Now you can create a
link to the first index.htm that exists within the newly Imported JAlbum if
you want.

The OP does not need to do any of that unless he wants a JAlbum account on
their server.

the code is a to make at image in a webpage
it go in <img alt="" src="" /> to see a picture

or

height="" width="">
to see a webpage on your webpage
you have to have the height and width to see the webpage put like
height="25%" width="25%"

The name is for a target link to open in iframe But we do the Src
height="25%" width="25%" first

18-Nov-09 07:08 PM

boy this thread went off into lalaland.

yes...just create a link to the first index.htm(l) page that exists in the
JAlbum folder that you Imported into FP. The gallery is going to remain in
that folder though.

You can also (if you are careful) edit the html appearance of the JAlbum
pages that are displayed...be careful though.

You have no idea what you are talking about. What the OP wants to do has
nothing to do with having an online JAlbum account. You've never used JAlbum
so do not give advice on how to include a JAlbum generated photo album into a
FrontPage created website...which is something I HAVE done many times.

Ok  Rob Giordano like See Link to your JAlbum generated photo album page .
just the index.htm
to see the HTML layout of Your page  Rob Giordano if you have one!!


Cliff morrow link it to the folder within the file view (The IFrame) for
frontpage do not like Frame ask Rob Giordano if I right first
and why Frames do not work in  FrontPage he created website  many times and
[MS MVP]


I do all my Frames editing In HTML-Kit.

You'll find that is common with him.

Hi Rob  thanks again ..
I now have the folder in the folder list view but to get this onto a page
within the site
how is the link actually done ?
thanks again cliff

20-Nov-09 12:27 AM

You are not getting it "on" a page. JAlbum has created the page for you, you
will link to that page from one (or more) pages in your FP website. Don't
listen to the troll about frames...he will just get you confused and you will
have problems with frames.

You can style your JAlbum to look like your regular pages (pretty
close)...but you are not going to put it "on" a page created by FP.

Rob Giordano
is JAlbum  like IrfanView  in created the page for you,

when you have time Look at this link webpage I made to see if would  help
him at all http://www.hot-text.ath.cx/reformlive/gallery.htm

22-Nov-09 10:59 AM

Hi  Rob
I have now linled to the folder but something is still not correct .
If you dont mind could you have a look for me , the folder is linked to both
gallery links on the www.reformlive.co.uk/reform.htm  page
I have linked to the complete folder saved from the jalbum gallery ..

Thanks again   cliff .

22-Nov-09 04:22 PM

First some OT Hints:
1- Optimize your image files...they are waaaaayyyyy too big and take forever
to download. You can use IrFanview a free program that is easy to use.

2- Do NOT use Hover buttons, they rely on Java (not to be confused with Java
Script) a lot of people do not have Java on their machines and they will just
see gray  boxes.

ok...back to JAlbum

I looks like you did NOT import the generated JAlbum folder. You must use
JAlbum OUTSIDE of FP to generate your album into a folder OUTSIDE of your FP
web (call the folder gallery1, or whatever you want). You do not bring ANY
of the JAlbum files into FP except what is in this folder. When you use
JAlbum you will see the option of where to output your files to...that will be
gallery1 (or whatever you call it).

Make sure your album works before you bring it into FP.

A Folder @ http://reformlive.co.uk/reform/
Ok a Good Start

23-Nov-09 03:55 PM

Hi  Rob ..
Thanks for your advice on the images and hover buttons ,,, i will try the
programme you mentioned
but just trying to sort this first .....
I created the gallery solely in jalbum then saved it , when saved it is in a
folder named my albums .
When i import in fp i could not import that folder but only the folder
inside it , and thats the one in the web ,
are you saying that i actually publish this to the reformlive web via
F T P and then link it into the site .

Sorry if i am asking to much but anything is hard to understand when you
dont know how to do it ..
thanks      cliff .

23-Nov-09 09:06 PM

I am not sure what you are saying exactly.

If the path to your generated album is My Albums\album, then you Import
Folder you will browse to "album" and select only that. Save  your album
OUTSIDE of FP but ALSO outside of JAlbum or you may end up with JAlbum files
too. JAlbum's dialog will allow you to generate the outputted file anywhere
you want so select the correct folder. You do not want to save JAlbum's
config files there though...I believe those are what you did upload to your
website.

If you are using FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) and you are publishing
via the http:// method you do not want to use FTP or you will break the
FPSE.

More:

Your path to your generated album may be something like this;
C:\My Documents\My Albums\reformalbum1

In the reformalbum1 folder you should have two folders; .jalbum and album
the .jalbum folder has a txt file
the album folder will have three folders; res, slides, thumbs but in the
root of "album" you will see
album.rss
help.html
index.html   <------this is the index that you will create your link to from
your nav button (if that is what you want).

Remember to "Make" the album to a local folder...NOT the Publish option
(that is if you want to publish it to a JAlbum account online)

When you import the folder into FP you will browse to reformalbum1 and
import that folder and all the folders & files below it will import as well.

hth
helpful hint #301 - avoid using capitalization and spaces in file and folder
names.

Hi  Rob

that pretty much sounds just like what i did ,,,,, but i did it all again
and here goes ...
1, had gallery open in jalbum ( not as a gallery view because then you cant
save etc )
2 , saved directly to documents as reformalbum ( it automaticly saves as
reformalbum.jap )
3, started again in ft , clicked import , then folder , reformalbum.jap is
not saved as a folder so then clicked import file
then got it in fp
4 , published web with the link to reformalbum.jap ( i have already imported
to fp ) .
the links are on the gallery tabs at www.reformlive.co.uk/reform.htm
if you dont mind could you please have a look as it is obviously not correct
....
I am very grateful for your time     thanks   cliff

24-Nov-09 05:27 PM

rob    that is exactly what i did ,,,, but i am now going to do it all again
...
cheers   cliff

25-Nov-09 02:00 AM

the .jap files are not what you want those are files JAlbum uses to create
the album - forget the .jap files already.

you are doing something incorrect.
you should end up with the files and folders I mentioned before.

Are you using the Make button?

25-Nov-09 04:33 PM

yes yes yes ,,, ive done it , the problem was using the make button as i was
only using save ...
the only problem is most of the pictures are just a red x , in
frontpage they are all there ,, what do you suggest ?
i will stop pestering you when this is done but if you dont mind me asking
what do you think my best way
foreward is now for improving the site ? i started just by using blank
pages , do you think i should start
and learn templates as then it is probably set out a bit better ( not
using hover buttons etc .
could you please look as this gallery for me again ?
I say again thank you very much for your help , this is finally done after
weeks of messing with it ,

thinks are so easy when you know how .
cheers   cliff

25-Nov-09 06:36 PM

OOO YEEEEES is SEEEEEE!!!

All But One beatles%20day%20liverpool.JPG  we see it in the index.html   and
we see /beatles%20day%20liverpool.html
Now you have something to work with and get that Help with Hmm

26-Nov-09 03:51 PM

I have finally completed the gallery and would like to say thank you to
everyone who help
me along this avenue ...... cheers  cliff

26-Nov-09 10:45 PM

1- do not use spaces or capitalization in folder or file names...you can use
and underscore _ instead of a space if you want.
2- make sure you are importing all the files inside that folder you
generated the JAlbum into.
