I hope this helps some of you creating good images galleries using Jalbum until Serif fixes the gallery provided with WebPlus X2!

The tutorial is in 2 parts:

The first part shows how to create a gallery using Jalbum:

The second part shows how to integrate the gallery into Webplus X2:

And, Don D adds:

I do basically the same as Vincent’s demo with a couple of exceptions:

1. I leave the html page title as index.html

2. When I upload the produced jalbum
fles/folders (photo attached), by Filezilla,(a free external ftp app) I put them into a folder in the root. i.e. /holiday.

3. When I make the framed document, it is linked to an internet page with an address of www.mysite.com/holiday. That picks up the index page.

If you have a number of jalbum galleries, you have some sort of control when the files are in there own folder.

Watch out for some of the skins that are used with jalbum as some will shrink to fit into the iframe and some will not. The only way around this is to have the gallery open in a new window.

Some of the skins have an option to have your main site linked back to via a home button, you set this up in the settings button options within jalbum.
