Photo gallery question

[K Chez]

I'm in the process of updating my website and need to re-do my galleries. I'd like to have the image open in a separate window, much like the posted photos do on the boards here. Is this a flash based app? Do I need to use something like photopost or Coppermine?

it's just a a href='image location' target='_blank' simple html

Lightbox

If you want something that looks pretty cool you could maybe take a look at this.... it is fairly easy to setup.

Check out this site I'm working on. It has a pop up image feature. http://showpiecesigns.com/admiralbb.htm
Very easy to do in XARA.

Lightbox is very cool. Doing this in Wordpress is a very simple plug in. You do not have to manually change code on the site. If you are using Wordpress install Shadowbox JS and you are done.

You can see my wordpress page here www.509media.com . The thumbs on the lower right of the page are not working correctly. I have not had the time to get in and make the changes.

OK-got almost all of it finished (finally!) Lightbox is a cool thing.

It's not a bad start. Might want to look at your background to make sure it doesn't repeat. I see 2 of them.

Thanks,

Nice looking start to the site. You might want to look at how you are using the background image. It is repeating on both X and Y. I know it has to do with screen resolution but there are plenty of people out there who will see it like this. It is an easy fix so don't sweat it.

See attached picture.

EDIT: I just noticed Speedmedia referred to this already.

I just created a gallery for my website with Lightbox 2 in Dreamweaver CS4 and I am having an issue with the spacing in between the thumbnails...I am unable to adust the spacing in between them. I tried "V Space" and "H Space" and neither do anything. I have the gallery in a css stylesheet which is controlling the margins for the box the thumbnails are in, but shouldn't have anything to do with the actual spacing in between the thumbnails should it? Any suggestions? Thanks

I'll have to fix that when I get home-thanks for the heads up (and the props on my work!)

post a link to your website and I will take a look at it for you. PM the link if you prefer.

You can also use picasa, which allows you to download different viewers and creates the html file for you and you can just use an i frame or whatever. Thats what I have on my site. Fairly easy to use and for updating pictures.
