 Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2003 6:29 am Post subject: How to? Password protected folder of photos, thumbnail views |
 |
|
I switched from FTP server to Abyss because I want to share a folder of pictures with family and friends.
FTP servers make the user login first(GOOD).But FTP does not allow thumbnail views of pictures.(BAD)
How can I set it up so someone can simply type in my IP address, then a password, and see thumbnails, click on them to view in original resolution, then right click to save?
BTW, the pics are in a lot of different folders, can I just put links in a virtual folder that will only show the thumbs? |

Yes, you can point to your virtual folder. Make sure "AutoIndex" is turn ON so they can browse that folder. They will see a listing instead of thumbnail. You can make a webpage for thumbnail.
To input user and password, you just need to set it in "Access" for which user can get access and also for which folder.

Yeah to make the thumbnails just type this html coding
| Code: | <a href="image url"><img src="/your_image.jpg" width="put #width" height="put #height"></a>
<a href="image url"><img src="/your_image.jpg" width="put #width" height="put #height"></a>
<a href="image url"><img src="/your_image.jpg" width="put #width" height="put #height"></a>
<a href="image url"><img src="/your_image.jpg" width="put #width" height="put #height"></a>
<a href="image url"><img src="/your_image.jpg" width="put #width" height="put #height"></a>
and so on |
Heres an example on how to put your height and width of your images:
An origianl size image is 1024 X 800 , You want to make this image smaller to become a thumbnail so you put 512 X 400 , thats half the size of your image so how do you write it to match your html , easy
<img src="/your_image.jpg" width="512" height="400">
and you do each of your images just like that to create small thumbnails lol :D

btw: at least half-decent thumb maker is
http://www.xnview.com/
(if you cant be bothered to make all the code and thumbs manually)

that is generally a bad idea since the joke of thumbs is to make a page load faster, it is not about tiny images. |
