Customizing Web photo gallery styles
You can customize an existing Web photo gallery style by editing one or more of its HTML
template files. When customizing a style, you need to follow these guidelines so that
Photoshop can generate the gallery correctly:
•
The style folder must contain these files: Caption.htm, IndexPage.htm, SubPage.htm,
Thumbnail.htm, and FrameSet.htm.
•
You can rename the style folder but not the HTML template files in the folder.
•
You can have an empty Caption.htm file, and place the HTML code and tokens deter-
mining the layout of the caption in the Thumbnail.htm file.
•
You can replace a token in a template file with the appropriate text or HTML code, so
that an option is set through the template file rather than through the Web Photo
Gallery dialog box. For example, a template file may contain a BODY element with the
following bgcolor attribute that uses a token as its value:
bgcolor=%BGCOLOR%
To set the background color of the page to red, you can replace the token %BGCOLOR%
with “FF0000.”
•
You can add HTML code and tokens to the template files. All tokens must be in
uppercase characters, and begin and end with the percent (%) symbol. For information
on the tokens that you can use in the template files, see
“Using tokens in Web photo
gallery styles” on page 394
.
To customize an existing Web photo gallery style:
1
Locate the folder for the Web photo gallery style that you want to customize. For the
location of style folders, see
“About Web photo gallery styles” on page 392
.
2
If you don’t want to overwrite an existing style, create a copy of the style folder, and
store it in the same location on your hard drive as the existing style folders.
3
Using an HTML editor, open one of the HTML template files located inside the style
folder.
4
Customize the HTML template file using the guidelines for customization outlined in
this section, and save the file.
5
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 to customize other HTML template files in the style folder.
When you have finished, you can create a gallery using the customized style. The
customized style appears as an option in the Styles pop-up menu in the Web Photo
Gallery dialog box.
Creating new Web photo gallery styles
You can create a new Web photo gallery style by creating the necessary HTML template
files that are used by Photoshop to generate a gallery.
To create a new Web photo gallery style:
1
Locate the folder that stores the existing Web photo gallery styles. For the location of
style folders, see
“About Web photo gallery styles” on page 392
.
2
Create a new folder for the new style, and store it in the same location on your hard
drive as the existing style folders.
