FP photo gallery

P

peebs

I am new to FP so please bear with me.
I have constructed a page using the FP photo gallery. It works fine but when
i look in the site report I get 2 problems. Firstly under slow pages i see
some pages called real.htm & real_p.htm. What are these pages? Secondly,
these pages and the photogallery page that I created are shown as having huge
download times - like 500+ secs at 56k!!
I haven't published yet to actually see it on the web but is this typical of
FP photo Gallery? Would a third party package like Arles be a better choice?
I might add that I have only put 10 photos in the gallery. They are .JPG and
have been compressed to around 6kb each.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

10 pictures at 6K each would take about 20 seconds to download, with the
rest of the page that adds to about 30 seconds; aA bit long for a home page,
but acceptable for a photogallery - if the user knows it is a photogallery,
and there is nothing else on the page such as graphical navigation bars.

The estimates given by FrontPage reports can be very inaccurate,
particularly if there are many external components (images, include pages)
in the page - best way to see is to try it in real life.

Thanks Ron - you are right, i should try it in the real world.
Do you have any comment regarding FP photo gallery versus say, Arles?
I am interested as I have heard that there are compatibility problems with
FP Photo gallery. Mind you, at my stage of developement they could tell me
the sky was green!!!
many thanks,

I have checked out the Jalbum solution, and found it rather limited and
difficult to integrate with FrontPage. I guess it would great if used
independently or via FTP upload, rather than FrontPage Server extensions.

The great thing about the FrontPage photogallery is the one source solution,
but I dislike the limited choices of templates, no slide show, and the arrows
for navegation often are not visible to the user. Then, if vertical or
horizontal templates are used, when the user clicks on the thumbnail is taken
to a larger picture with no return or next link.

I will tray the Arles solution as it seems more flexible, specially since
what I want to do is maintain my own template look and feel throughtout the
photo gallery.

There's absolutely no issue using JAlbum with an FP web with FPSE
enabled...none. What problems did you have?

No problems at all. It works fine, just like the Arles solution. But it is
not integrated directly with FP, thus you have to apply the template
individually to each page every time you create an album. The FP solution
you just copy and existing gallery and choose different photos for it, and
thus there is no need to apply the template to each page. I just wish FP
would have more flexibility in the navigation and display of the pictures.

Yep, plus the FP album is flakey...I don't use them at all anymore.
