OT - Uploading photos on a websitte
Hi all!
I'm trying to upload a photo album on my new website, IPowerweb. I had no problemn with the rest of my Website, except for my albums. I'm using Photoshop CS to automate the "web photo gallery". Once finished, Photoshop produces the following sub-folders and files, all in the same folder (let's call it "gallery02"): "images", "pages", "thumbnails" and a few files such as "index.htm", "thumbnailframe.htm" and "userselections.txt". If I click on "index.htm" on my hard drive, I get an automatic slide show and it works very well. However, when I upload everything (keeping all folders, subfolders and files the same), I get a partial truncated view, not what I get on my hard drive. I use WS_FTP PRO to upload everything, including my album. I'm on Widows XP, 1 gig of Ram. Can someone enlighten me, please? Thanks, Marcel |

Possibly your web server is case-sensitive for filenames where Windows isn't. But I wouldn't have thought Photoshop would have made that mistake. -- Owamanga! |

Thanks for answering!
My website is: http://www.celestart.com I attempted to upload my photo gallery into "confection_icone", a folder in which I placed all the subfolders as well as the files produced by Photoshop: http://www.celestart.com/images/conf...cone/index.htm The strange thing is that if I point to a picture, it works: http://www.celestart.com/images/conf...images/064.jpg In the same way, I placed my monthly Newsletter for our scuba club: http://celestart.com/owlmanac/ and that works well.

... If you look at the source of this page it says it was created by MS FrontPage 5.0, not PS. If I try this page in MS IE 6 it gives runtime errors. What I did originally was to create the album using Photoshop CS. After I had all the files created, I transferred them to the website, using WS_FTP PRO. This morning, I tried "something" ;-( Using Frontpage, I saved the "index.htm" and uploaded it. It didn't work either. Everything I've done so far was created using Netscape 4.75. Perhaps you can explain to me why the whole thing works on my HD and would not on the server. Is it not another HD? Thanks, Marcel |

Right now, the bottom frame can't find the file 'ThumbnailFrame.htm' in the directory '/images/confection_icone/' IFRAMES look terrible, and are not well supported by older browsers. Everything I've done so far was created using Netscape 4.75. Perhaps you can explain to me why the whole thing works on my HD and would not on the server. Is it not another HD? As both I and Ed have mentioned, the way filenames are interpreted by the server software is different to how your own PC interprets filenames on the HD. Take for example this filename: MyPicture.jpg is different to: MYPICTURE.jpg MyPiCtUrE.jpg ...as far as the web server is concerned, but on your hard drive, these are all one file. ...So, if you (or software you use) uploads a file called 'MyPicture.jpg' it is essential that any web pages referring to it, have *exactly* that as the filename, not 'MYPICTURE.jpg' for example. Web Servers can be fussy, Windows OS is not. My policy is to keep all filenames lowercase, avoid spaces in filenames (use underscores instead) and don't use any funny characters. -- Owamanga! |

Thank you Owamanga!
I've reviewed most of the files so far and everything's OK as far as characters go. I didn't think I was using IFRAMES... Are these produced by Photoshop CS in automating the web photo package? I'm waiting for my copy of Adobe Golive. I suppose that this software coupled with Photoshop should help me out. I hope so, because I have 1000 megs with my website and I intend to use most of it to post photo albums. You wrote 'ThumbnailFrame.htm'. How did you know there were those capital letters? I was looking into it but I'm sure I changed them to lower case. Anyway, I "ruled" that WS_FTP PRO should change all letters to lower case. Marcel "Owamanga" wrote in message ...

FrontPage is an excellent tool for people who know MS Word and who want to get a site up-and-running rather than spend their lives learning about the minutiae of HTML. It handles the case-sensitivity issuse you pointed to, and provides both page eidting and site management facilities. There may be better tools, and there are certainly more expensive tools, but FrontPage is a good all-round product. Cheers, David |

Maybe it's better now, but I remember it needed a crap-load of extensions that weren't standard on Linux website boxes. -- Owamanga! |

It's matured a lot since the product that Vermeer Technologies released to the world. It can take advantage of the FrontPage extensions if they are installed - and they are available for many platforms including UNIX and LINUX - but they are not essential. For the person who doesn't want to dig too deeply, FrontPage makes a good starting point. Cheers, David |
