Yes, we are working on proper documentation, I know it comes in handy. And how do I get rid of the redundant photo of the grate, down at the bottom? Here's the URL: I'd also like to add a link back to the home page, and add some text to each folder link on the home page, something more that just "Mexico". it must be simple but I can't seem to figure out how to work with text. I'd like to add a statement page and a contact page. I've gone to the jAlbum Forum for help but many users are in Europe and the time difference is a bit of a nuisance, not their fault! Plus, I've been using for years and feel more at ease here with the interface, helpful community, etc. I've started a website but it is by no means complete. I'm using the Turtle skin because it seemed most widely used, but I'm not wedded to it, am open to other skins if need be. In fact I chose jAlbum based partly on what I've seen here from other website builders. Dealing with digital photo albums on the web you’ll see two basically different models.I've been searching this forum for some tips, and was glad to see there are some jAlbum users out there. The “traditional” – one image per HTML page – and the “dynamic”, which changes the images on the same HTML page upon user interaction, utilizing Javascript. Sounds like a subtle technical detail but it has far reaching consequences. Although this applies to any skin, I will talk specifically about the Turtle skin now, which has been enabled to generate traditional (separate slides) albums since version 4, just a few weeks ago. ![]() Here is the magic switch that decides between these modes in jAlbum, called “ Make slide pages“: I’ve seen a lot of confusion regarding these modes, so I decided to put up this blog post. ![]() Turn it on for the “Separate slide pages” mode – the default is still the dynamic mode. In the traditional – separate slide pages – mode, the HTML page loads all the page components and all the widgets (like Facebook, Google +1, etc.) every time an image is loaded. Every page has a separate URL address, so you can bookmark or share images separately and can use external widgets which rely on the page address, for example Facebook commenting. The downside is inherent in the web technology which doesn’t allow transitions between web pages, nothing can remain from a previous page (like background music), and need to build every page from ground, loading and rendering everything on a page again and again. This is why Turtle skin was originally made dynamic. #JALBUM TURTLE SKIN FULL#Ī dynamic album is capable of making smooth transitions between the images, loading only the necessary components, an rendering a full folder only once. ![]() You might ask why did then Turtle introduce the traditional mode at all. It’s because there are several scenarios when the separate slides mode is still beneficial, e.g. ![]() achieving better search results, being able to comment images through Facebook separately, using several hundreds of images in the same folder, to name a few. It’s a fundamental change in the structure, every part of the code had to be rewritten to work in both modes. Tracking the actual image in dynamic mode In most browsers it falls back to windowed mode with every page changeĬommenting widget works, the others ignore itĮvery image is rendered on a separate html page Like, Comment, +1, PinIt, Share individual imagesĬan skip index page and auto-start slideshow Like, Comment, +1, PinIt, Share complete folders The number of page elements (thumbnails) is still limited To avoid memory leak in poorly written browsers I tried to find the best match between the two modes, still there are tons of differences. To be able to follow the actual image the skin is using a technique (using internal links), which adds the image name after the URL the following way.
