Photo gallery: real.htm, real_p, real_x

[arad]

I’m trying to customize a picture gallery (montage layout).
For example:
that the target window will not show the IE menu bar,
Changing the link of the thumbnail to another page,
Changing the size of specific thumbnails in the gallery.
When creating a page with a photo gallery FP create also a photoxxxx library
with files real, real_p, and real_x.
Can you explain a bit what is the role of each one, and which one should I
try to change.
P.S: I tried to use Jimco spawn plug in, but without great success.
Thanks
Arad

You can adjust the thumb sizes in the Photo Gallery Properties dialog
box....all the other stuff you asked about you can't change without breaking
the photogallery.

hello Rob

what do you mean by "breaking" ?

I have a pic gallery of about 100 photos, for most of them the normal way of
FP (linking to the full size pic) is O.K.
for few others I wanted to link to a new html which include several pics and
explanations.
By trial & error I realize that if i change the "href..." for the relevant
thumbnail in the real.html file it works as i wanted.

Still I have a problem to defind the window size and the look of the target
window.
at the gallery page i defind the target window as new page.
but the size of the new window that opens when clicking on the thumbnail is
not the size I want,
(and also, If possible, with the normal thums links, I preffer them to open
in a window without menu etc.
the thumb that link to new html page I preffer a window with menu bar etc.)

jimco spawn works well with a single thumb of link, but I don't know how to
make it work on a pic gallery.

thanks for your help
