    Question Creating a picture gallery page

    I am trying to add a section to our website where we can display the turbine installations that we have completed. Right now I have set up a new topic called "Install Gallery". I don't know what to do now. I would like to have a list of locations and each one would be clicked on to bring up the photos.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank You,

    thanks for the quick reply vortxScott!
    The topics video was slightly helpful, but I still need more assistance.

    looking at the above link, i would like to have each "SITE" click-able to the appropriate photos. I have attempted to use image editor or image map editor, but get a
    "Server Error in '/' Application".

    Is there a better way to link the photos?
    Each install site (A, B, C, etc.) will have multiple photos, not just one.

    Not sure if I totally understand the concern, but as far as I can tell you want to have a photo gallery which is setup via the topic manager and by clicking on each of the photos, users will be redirected to certain page that contains all the relevant information? If yes, there's similar existing topic there in the admin already that does this, check out "HomeTopIntro" and view it in html mode "<>" to see the html codes.

    Basically, it only uses <a href> tag to link photo to another page. e.g.
    Code:
    <a href="YourCustomPage.aspx"><img alt="" height="200" src="ImageDirectory/ImageFileName.jpg" width="225" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; " /></a>

    Hi Alfred,

    Thank you for the reply. I do not currently have the photos set up on a certain page that contains relevant info.


    To clarify what we are trying to do here:

    See "Install Gallery" under help & Info
    http://www.talcoelectronics.com/

    From here each site (Site A, Site B...) would actually be a install location site (i.e. San Diego, Ca). Upon clicking each site, viewer would see multiple photos of said install.

    I can't figure out how to add my photos.

    Thanks

    You probably want to use one of the JQuery add-ons, such as Fancybox (http://fancybox.net/). Save all of your images in your images directory, creating a sub-directory for each "site".
    http://www.esedirect.co.uk
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Using MS 9.2.0.0 with the following customisations:

    Lightbox/Fancybox enlarged images;
    Auto-suggest searchbox;
    Extra product information shown only to our IP Address (such as supplier info, costs, etc.);
    Failed transactions emailed via trigger;
    Custom app to show basket contents when customer online;
    Orders pushed through to accounting systems.

    All the above without source!
