File numbers under thumbnails

[Edward]

Hi again. Let me rephrase my question: I bulk upload (30 and more images at
a time) into my Photo Gallery. Thumbnails, when clicked, enlarge--all fine.
How can I also get the file numbers that belong to the images to appear under
the thumbnails--like on a contact sheet. I bulk upload so I can't put them
up one at a time and individually write a caption for each pic. I don't want
to put them up one at a time either. Thank you for your brains.

That is not possible when using the FP Photo Gallery or any FP component for that matter.

Thanks for the response. Can I use outside software to do what I want to do?

Yes ... you can find something here:

especially JAlbum

JAlbum is the best for what you want to do. Create the JAlbum into a folder
outside of FP, then when you're happy with what it looks like/works
like...Import that folder into FP.

Well you could write your own script

At my site (below) there is a page named Picture Album.

You will see that the thumbnails are numbered. I did *not* do this manually,
the script does it.

However, the captions are entered manually. I have a page whch defines all
the image names and their captions.
It looks like this
var Pictures = new Array(
// Kate's Family
"0000-90-nessie" ,
"01-03-16-michelles-birth-16th-march-2001" ,
"02-01-27-michelle-10mths" ,
"02-06-06-phil-and-michelle" ,
"02-11-03-melissa"
// etc etc
)
var Captions = new Array(
// Kate's Family
"Nessie 1990" ,
"Michelle's Birth 16th March 2001" ,
"Michelle 10 months" ,
"Phil and Michelle" ,
"Melissa"
// etc etc
)
for (i = 0; i < Pictures.length; i++)
{
Slides = "images/" + Pictures.substring(1) + ".jpg"
Thumbnails = "images/thumbnails/" + Pictures.substring(1) +
"_t.jpg"
}

To add more images, their names are added to the Pictures array and their
captions to the Captions array - in order, of course.
There is extra code to display these images of course.

This is not as automated as I would like, but it is not too much of an
effort to add extra images.

Note that I do *not* use the FP photogallery. There are other options
available beside DIY as I have done. JAlbum is a recommended one
