What is the Web Page Wizard?
The Web Page Wizard, available on the
Image menu, provides a way for T+ to generate web pages
of thumbnails along with links to the full size images for publishing
on the internet. The wizard will guide you through the steps
required to make an on-line catalog of images, and several templates
are available for different web page appearances. The catalog
can be a single page or may span several pages. If you select
more graphics than will fit in the table, T+ will automatically
generate multiple pages; each generated page will have link
to the next and previous pages.

Can I create my own template to
use in the wizard?
If you wish to create your own templates, you
can do so using any text or HTML editor. ThumbsPlus replaces
tokens in the template with the information you provide using
the wizard, and with a table of thumbnails. You should give
your templates different names, as updates to ThumbsPlus may
overwrite the templates provided. Your template file MUST have
the extension ".tpt". After creating your templates, be sure
to place them in the Thumbs directory so that they will be available
from the web page wizard. Please write
to support if you need further help with this.

I created my own template, but it isn't
available in the style list.
Make sure you are saving your templates with
the .tpt extension and placing them in the Thumbs folder.

What does the option thumbnail
table only do?
ThumbsPlus will not use a template and will
build HTML files that contain only the tables. Such files are
intended for inclusion in other pages, and are not designed
to be published as they don't include HTML header information
or tags.

What is include low-res?
When you select JPEG thumbnails, ThumbsPlus
can also generate low-resolution black and white GIF images.
Some browsers will load these first, giving the overall appearance
of the page, then load the full-resolution JPEG images.

I am trying to use Custom URL/Folders
but am having trouble.
For advanced users, this option provides the
opportunity to place the HTML pages, original images, and thumbnail
images in different folders (and URLs).
Select Locations (when "Custom URLs/Folders is selected)
- Base Folder for HTML pages -- enter or browse
for the folder in which you want ThumbsPlus to place the generated
HTML pages.
- Folder for Images -- enter or browse for
the folder in which you want ThumbsPlus to place the images.
(The images are only copied here if you selected "Copy files
to destination folder."
- URL -- Enter the URL (relative or absolute)
that corresponds to the Images folder. Assuming that your
HTML pages are in c:\myweb\catalog and your images are in
c:\myweb\catalog\images, the proper URL would generally be
images/.
- Folder for Thumbnails -- enter or browse
for the folder in which you want ThumbsPlus to place the thumbnails.
- URL -- As for the Images URL above, enter
the URL (relative or absolute) that corresponds to the Thumbnails
folder.
Return to FAQ page
Why does the wizard use double
extensions on the thumbnail files, i.e. tn_filename_jpg.jpg?
ThumbsPlus creates these redundant extensions
because of previous reports when users had both gif and jpg
images in the same directory with the same name.
