Photo Albums
Photo Albums are very easy to create in Dreamweaver.
Follow the steps below to create one.
- Gather some pictures from iPhoto you've taken.
- Create a folder for your photo album (e.g. album)
- Open any page within the site
- Choose Commands/Create Web Photo Album from the toolbar
- Give the album a title (this will show in the thumbnail page only)
- You can enter subheading info if you like (this will show in the pages with the enlarged pictures)
- Choose the Source images folder by using the folder icon to browse to the relevant folder (this will be the folder where you have stored all the images)
- Choose the destination folder (from our example 'album')
- Choose the thumbnail size from the drop-down menu
- You can enter the number of columns you would like to display the thumbnails
The rest can be left as is or changed according to your requirements for optimization
- Click on OK
- You will see Fireworks creating the thumbnails for all the pictures
- Once this is done, you will receive a message saying that the photo album has been created and you can view the album.
- The album will now be in it's simple unformatted state. You will have a folder called album under which there will be 3 folders as follows:
thumbnails - contains the thumbnails
images - contains the images in its original form
pages - contains the pages in which the larger images are inserted along with the navigation to navigate between pictures and go back to home
index.htm page which will have all the thumbnails with links to the larger images
- You can now go to the index page and apply your template (if you have one) to format the page and also use CSS Styles to format the text. The gallery now will look like its part of the site. You can do this for all the pages in the pages folder (under the gallery folder).
