web gallery

[Pane]

Hi guys,
I have a problem that I am hoping someone might have some ideas or suggestions to help me find a solution. I have a add-on domain which I used coppermines web gallery software to display images of products. It worked great because the pictures were just in jpeg form, and when clicked upon, just displayed a larger static version of the product.

Now I am trying to put up ready made web templates up on display, all have javascripting for rollover buttons and such. I have created jpeg pictures for thumbnail previews, and would like something that when clicked upon will link to the index.htm page of each template so that the buttons and stuff can be viewed. I know that this can be done through hand coding, but with about 100 templates to upload, it will become very tedious.

Does anyone know of any gallery software that will create the gallery with the thumbnail images, yet be able to link to and locate the html files to show the web template as it will appear when active on a website? Or have I missed something that coppermine can do?

Thanks alot.

If you put the web templates demo sites in a seperator folder. And then make a screenshot of those sites. Upload them into your cpg then you can add a link to a demo site in the description of a screenshot.

See documentation: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#bbcode

Thanks for your response and information Hein.   I uploaded all of my templates into a web demo site folder in the gallery directory, and then uploaded the screenshots of the templates into a album folder. I am assuming this is what you are directing me to do.  I am however, a little confused on how to make a link to the demo sites folder.  Do I just code (<a href= ) to give the screenshot a navigation, or do I have to input a http:// address to get to the folder that has the demo sites in it? I'm not sure if I am asking that correctly, but I guess my question is do I have to use a link like http://www.mysite.com/gallery/webdemo/temp01/index.html?   

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

Another option (if you're the only one who is going to be allowed to upload files to your gallery) would be to add .htm and .html to the list of allowed extensions. Then use FTP-upload plus batch-add. This would be the most elegant solution imo, but be warned: allowing HTML uploads can be a security risk if you're  not the only uploader and other users could use the HTML file uploads to inject scripts to your page.

If what I said above is not an option for you: read up how to use bbcode in the documentation that comes with coppermine.
