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 determining 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.
To customize an existing Web photo gallery style: - 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.
- 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.
- Using an HTML editor, open one of the HTML template files located inside the style folder.
- Customize the HTML template file using the guidelines for customization outlined in this section, and save the file.
- 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.
