The albums in the folders are automatically uploaded with the top album.

Finally open again the top album and upload it to the server.Do the same for the other folder albums.Next copy that file to the 2nd folder and change at least the output directory and I make the album.Next copy the resulting project file JalbumSS4.jap to the first subdirectory, edit that file in jAlbum by adding the link to the root, edit the output directory, browse to the theme image, change the thumbnails size is useful etc.First make the root album in the top directory.To enter the Title and/or Description of a sub-album, click with the right mouse button on the folder which contains the pictures of the album and select in the menu 'Edit':Īfter you created the whole tree of albums you should upload it to the jAlbum website via the jAlbum project file of the top album (or use a FTP program to transfer all output directories to your own web server). No theme image will be displayed if this file is not found. However it is also possible to enter in the the 'Theme image' field a string like 'theme_image.jpg' and save the theme image under that name in the root- and each sub-directory of the output destination directory. If you like to do that you should use in each sub-directory an include file page-header_2 with a contents like this: It is not possible to use for each sub-album a picture in the slides directory as theme image. The contents of file more_info.html can of course be different for each subdirectory.Ħ. However if you use as links in your sub-albums the same file for instance more_info.html, the link will only be displayed if such a file exist in the sub-directory. If you check check-mark 'Show these buttons too if subdirectories are processed' they will also be displayed on sub-albums, but it is not possible to use in that case different links for different albums. The button links defined on the Slide Show 4 Links tab are only displayed on the top index page.

If the html code text-box contains html code, it is only executed for the top index page.ĥ. The number of thumbnails columns is the same in all albums, except if you set check-mark 'Variable number of thumbnails per row' on the index page settings.Ĥ. If you use fixed shape thumbnails they will be used in all albums, it is not possible mix albums with fixed shape and non fixed shape thumbnailsģ. The thumbnails and slides of all albums do have the same dimensions, because the settings on the jAlbum Images / General tab are applied in all sub-albums.Ģ. Using one project file is of course the fast method to generate a tree of albums, but it has a number of disadvantages:ġ. In the second case, if you use a set of project files to generate the albums, you should not check these check-marks.

If you check the 'Chain directories' check-mark (requires jAlbum version 12.2 or later version and Slide Show 4 skin version 2.1 or later version, with PhotoSwipe in all versions), you can use the the green arrow buttons on top of an index page to open the album in the next / previous directory of the tree. In the first case you have to set the 'Process subdirectories' and 'Include subdirectories in index pages' check-marks in the jAlbum Advanced / General settings: There are 3 ways to create a such a tree of albums, via one jAlbum project file for all subdirectories in the top window, with for each directory a jAlbum project file which is saved in the corresponding directory or with an Album of albums via weblocations (requires jAlbum version 14). To prevent that the music stops if you open a folder-album, the music can be played in a new Music.htt web-page, which runs in a separate window. This means of course that background music played by an audio control in the top album is stopped if the folder-album is opened. With the start of version 3.1 and with the PhotoSwipe skin, the folder-album is opened in the same window as the top album. The jAlbum project files are saved in the image directories.īefore version 3.1 of the Slide Show 4 skin, the main album did stay open if you opened a folder-album, so that possible music started in the top-album did continue as a folder-album was opened. I use in both cases the same directory structure: a root directory which contains the images of the top album and contains also all folders with additional albums, both for the image directory and for the output directory. I will discuss here 2 methods, in two examples. Both the Slide show 4 skin, the FancyBox skin and the PhotoSwipe skin allows you to display pictures in subdirectories of the main image directory as sub-albums which are opened via links on the main album at the top of the tree.
