Adding captions

[Terry Pinnell]

Thought it might help if I added a little more about that server
structure:

/Walks
/images03 <--- Copy of my original image folder, latest try!
/res <--- Created by JA
/slides <--- Created by JA
/thumbs <--- Created by JA
/TP03 <--- This contains the originals, i.e /Walks/TP03/images03
/TP04 <--- My own Thames Path 2004 folder
/TP05 <--- My own Thames Path 2005 folder
index.htm <--- Created by JA

Also, FWIW, these are the settings I made in JA:

Main tab
--------
Image directory D:\Docs\Website Design\Home\Walks\TP03\images03
Output directory D:\Docs\Website Design\Home\Walks\TP03-JAlbum

FTP connection properties
---------------------------
FTP server dsftp.dial.pipex.comn
Web directory [Left this blank **]
Remote directory Walks ***

** The pop-up help for this box says
"Directory under FTP directory that is web published (leave blank if
same directory)"
Don't really grasp that, so left it blank for now.

*** "Directory for album on remote server"

Success! Well, the main issue anyway, of where to upload the original
images. Embarrassingly, after changing to captioned images, I had
*deleted* the originals (no captions) from their location within
/TP03! On restoring them, the structure is now:

/Walks
/res <--- Created by JA
/slides <--- Created by JA
/thumbs <--- Created by JA
/TP03 <--- This does now contain the originals
/images03 <--- DULY RESTORED!
/TP04 <--- My own Thames Path 2004 folder
/TP05 <--- My own Thames Path 2005 folder
index.htm <--- Created by JA

I've done the latest round of uploading with CuteFTP, as I can see
what I'm doing better that way. I'll persevere with JA's Publish
process though; I'm sure it can't be that difficult. Still like to
understand some of those settings I mentioned a bit better.

Dunno. I've never used link to original. Here's how I do it on an FP
extended web:

Generate the JAlbum into a folder OUTSIDE of FP.
When I'm ecstatically happy with the outcome, I rename the folder outside of
FP.
Then in FP with my web opened, I IMPORT the entire folder into FP.
Then manually create a link on the JAlbum index.htm page to link back to a
page in my main web.
Some stuff can be done when generating the album, but I found it confusing
that way, so I just edit the index page once it's in FP. (KISS)
Then Publish the web via the http method.

I've never used ftp or JAlbum's ftp either, so can't help ya there...sorry.

Thanks Rob. As you've probably now seen, I've cracked it!

I've tried both those skins you suggested, and have posted a new
thread inviting feedback on their respective merits.

Many thanks for all the help here.

Cool. I'd like to see it...couldn't find it from your homepage.

Also, all your electronic stuff is missing too...looking for a diode
solution for something
