html only page - different sizes of photos possible like in the galleries?

[andreas]

Hi,
sorry for the strange title, i wasn´t able to express myself better.

In a gallery, one can choose between different sizes of each photo, after you choosed a thumbnail.
Now i want to create a portfolio page, and i have the idea to position a small number of thumbnails in blocks on one side, and some text about them on the other side. The visitor should be able to open these thumbnails as bigger images. Either like in the gallery, or like a "normal" popup window.

Any ideas how to do that, using the images, that are already hosted on smugmug?

Thank you in advance!

You may already know this, but you can find the available links for a photo (tiny, thumbnail, small, medium large) by using the "share photo" button. You can then display the photo using the <a href=... html.

I do this for photos that I display in my blog.

<a href="place gallery link here"><img src="place photo link here"></a>

Here's an example:
<a href="http://Denise.smugmug.com/gallery/2817311/1/150595722"><img src="http://Denise.smugmug.com/photos/150595722-S.jpg"></a>

I use this on my blog pages. The photo displays on my blog page, and if you click on the photo you will be taken to the gallery page with that photo highlighted.

If you want to see this in action, here's a blog page that includes photos: http://denisegoldberg.blogspot.com/2007/05/ferns-emerging.html. If you click on one of the photos you will be taken to the gallery.

I haven't tried this, but I think if you link the thumbnail in the img src= in your html and one of the large sizes in the a href= piece that the thumbnail will display, and if it is clicked on it would display the size that you specified in the a href= (as opposed to using the gallery link in my example above).

See here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2210148). It adds a couple of photos and text to thd album description.

You can do about the same by adding your photos/thumbs and text.

I added a bunch here (http://atsmith.smugmug.com/gallery/2219395) using tables. Each can be linked to any page you want,
like a single image, small, mediun or large page.

Hi Denise, hi Allen,

i have continued my work on this problem.

@Allen: your solution is not exactly what i want, because i don´t want the visitor to leave the portfolio site and to jump into another gallery.

Exactly the same happens with your suggestion, Denise.

I even tried to directly link to the lightbox view, and that worked fine,
but again, after closing the lightbox i find myself in another gallery - not in the portfolio.

Today i searched for a javascript to open a new window box for bigger view.
Sounded good, works on my own webspace:

but unfortunately it doesn´t worked here on smugmug. :-(

Surely i made a silly mistake.

I opened an extra thread for that javascript problem:
