Image locations for slide shows

[Guest]

I need to change the image path / image location in a photo gallery.
Currently it defaults to the root directory for the actual image (thumbnail
is stored in the photo gallery directory) and I need to change it to the
/images directory or better yet a sub directory of the images directory.

You would need to recreate the photo gallery after you have moved the images to where you want them
to be within your web.

In your script, find the current location 'pointer' to the images. Change the
directory to include the \images folder.
Depending on the script, you may have to list each individual image, such as

photos[0]="\images\photo1.jpg"
or
photos[1]="photo2.jpg"


Or there may be a line indicating the 'root' or default folder for the
images. Check the script carefully.

I tried that but when I try to create or recreate it, it looks for images on
my hard drive instead of within the web. Is there some way to redirect it to
look within the website instead of on my local computer?

Open your FP web/Site and File Import the images into your site before you use them

I think I'm either missing something or I'm not explaining this well enough.
I've got so many pictures that putting them all in the root directory makes a
mess. I've got the pictures in a subdirectory of the images folder (good
organized site design). I don't need to import them as they are already
there. But I'm trying to use the slide show / photogallery feature to make a
quick / easy photogallery. When I do this, the pictures are imported into the
root directory. The thumbs are placed in a photogallery sub directory but the
big images all end up in the root, making it difficult and confusing to find
html files amongst all the gifs and jpegs.

What happen when you create a folder, and then create the photo gallery within that folder?

Thomas,

Thanks. Not as elegant an answer as I had hoped but it sounds like a nice
compromise. Can't access this site until I return home on Monday but will try
it then.
