One of the updates that I would really like to get done on my website is to make some type of order for all the photographs on the "Art & Pictures" page. Simple problem you run into with too many images on one page is the slow loading. Especially for slower connections. Wondering if there is a way to avoid making a separate file for each section of photographs? The PHP include helps some, but obviously you still need a separate file for each page. Any ideas everyone? I would like to avoid using javascript if possible...

You could use innerhtml, which is javascript. That would be really awesome as you could load the other pics without loading another page. However that's using Javascript.

Try making a page with PHP. Say that your picture page is pictures.php. I think this would work. You might have to make adjustments to it though.

That probably has tons of syntax mistakes. Anyways, you know you could just add more links and elseifs if needed.

By the way, the require function makes the page not load if it is unable to include the file, whereas the include function makes for a pretty ugly looking page if the file is missing.

Why don't you just use an on-line photo album like google or webshots?. Webshots is clean and not quite as flashy as google witch I really like. I use them both plus a java script photo album that I made my self. Oh and by the way see if you can fix the password retrieval tool, I tried to log in a while back but had forgot my password and tried to retrieve my password several times but it never sent it to me.

I actually can't follow that script at all Wierdo. If you were to produce a working example it would help a lot more. Also, add comments to explain what everything does... I would appreciate it as what you have shown seems promising. Still have no decided exactly how I'm going to do this. I have a feeling it's going to turn into a lot of work... Just to organize some images, but that's what happens when you make your website in Notepad only. Fun stuff!

Zombie, I have not really checked out any of the online photo albums, but I doubt one of them will have an interface I can integrate with my website. Doing this in a way that would allow me to completely customize anything. Also, as I said, I would like to avoid javascript which I'm sure would be needed to integrate the photograph album.

Actually I doubt 110mb would allow that PHP. All the free hosts we tried together don't allow more advanced PHP than the include function if you remember.

I got the script working well on my site.

And here it is with comments in it:

I really hope those comments help because it took me a long time to type them! Note that you would have to rename all of your pictures to image1.jpg, image2,jpg, image3.jpg, etc, or just 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc.

So have you done any kind of organization?

All of this programming language

I'm glad I link my website pictures to google/picasa ...

It keeps all of them in a nice order for me

I checked out Picasa, and really liked it man. Thanks for the link! Now I just have to figure out if there is a way to fully implement my online photograph album to my website...

From what I can tell the only way to implement this album onto my website is by linking each separate image folder on the album to my website. That would of course be very easy, but upon clicking the link it would open a new page to the picasa online album. What do you guys think?

Can you embed the albums in seperate pages? I know that would require JavaScript, but most people have it turned on.

Last night I worked on updating the websites Artwork & Photograph section to implement the Picasa Google photograph album. Let me know what you guys think! By the way, what do you think would be the best way to add the title of each separate album on the image links? I was thinking a floating div box, but can't remember exactly how to float the div box where I want it. Haven't really looked into it much yet though.

Pretty good. It would be cool if you could get them on your site, but that would require JS I'm sure.

Or even worse... Frames! Probably both. Javascript wouldn't bug me too much, but I'll never use frames on any website again...

Yeah I remember when you were first using them... I couldn't even see your navigation! Remember those days?

The good old days when we only knew HTML? Yeah, those were good times man! Wierdo, what do you think would be the best way to add titles to those image links? I'm still thinking a floating div box, but if you have any other ideas, or anyone else does, please let me know.
