Been using PM for years but I’m just now playing with the HTML Template Exporter for the first time and have questions.
A few years back I created a template for Web Photo Album 2.26, a plugin for Dreamweaver. It hasn’t been supported for years and no longer runs on current systems so I need to replace it.
It would be brilliant if I could get pages from HTML Template Exporter to look exactly like my previous albums. Plus it would be much more convenient and save me several steps to do it straight from PM.
I am a novice at web design, but I took the example included with the PM documentation and started modifying. So far I have figured out how to duplicate 95% of my previous template into a new template for HTML Template Exporter, but I’m now stuck on one thing.
In my previous template, the preview pages used image icons instead of text for navigation. It used icons for “First”, “Next”, “Index”, “Previous” and “Last” that were designed to match the theme. I’d really like to keep the icons if I can, but can’t work out how to make HTML Template Exporter use my images instead of text. Also, the template so far only has “Next”, “Index”, and “Previous” and doesn’t use links for “First” and “Last”. It would be nice if my new galleries looked identical to the old ones, but I can certainly live without “First” and “Last” if I have to. But I’m really hoping I can at least use icons instead of text.
Is that possible, and can anyone help me out? If it is too complicated to explain it all here, maybe someone knows where I can read up about it.
Thanks.
