Control display features

Post by lemstem » 02 May 2009, 18:11

I am creating displays for clients and want to control each display when it opens.

From my Index page, I can use javascript to control the new window that opens (height=800,width=800,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,resizable=1).

See my site: http://www.v-lens.com/index.htm and click one of the Sample Tour buttons.

How can I set the Extreme Thumbnail Generator defaults so the window always opens to these settings? I need to give the links to my clients so the code needs to be created automatically in each index page created by your software.

I need some clarification. Do you want it to make so that when user clicks on a thumbnail image, a new window is opened with the following attributes:

height=800,width=800,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,resizable=1

nd this window must display a full-size image page. Right?

No, that is not my problem.

My clients will get this link to post on their own web page: http://www.v-lens.com/2009-04/sagebrush36514/

When they click on this link, each window should open with the parameters I described earlier.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I think Extreme Thumbnail Generator has nothing to do with this. It can generate and upload galleries, but it's up to you to create a link that opens this gallery. And you can use any JavaScript window parameters in that link.

I see 2 ways to solve your problem.

1. Send links to your clients in HTML emails.

2. If you can send only plain text emails, then you can create a special page with links to galleries (with your parameters) and then send your clients link to that page.

Maxim,

Thank you for your reply.

Can't the gallery index.html be configured to open with certain display parameters?

I do understand that I can create javascript links but would like the process to be simpler for my clients.

Thanks,
Mel

Well, you can re-size window using JavaScript in the onLoad event like this:

<body onLoad="window.resizeTo(800, 800)">

But I doubt you can hide window main menu after it was opened.

Thank you, Maxim.

Can I code this into the template?

Yes, this is exactly what you need to do. Place this code into the template of the thumbnails page.
