Hi everyone,
Thank you in advance for reading this and helping if you can.
I am very much new to the photography game and even newer to building a website, for which I have been staring at my computer for hours upon end. So in the end I decided to spend a few bucks and splash out on a template from 3templates.com but now I am struggling with the small thumbnails on the main page and on the side as you go into each section. I was wondering how can I change them so that I can either have thumbnails of some form of significance rather than some randomness. You will see what I mean when you get to the website. (Its still a work in progress if that!!)
Many thanks for your help
NB

The website is at www.photographydoctor.co.uk
 
Is that a flash template? Might be hard for anyone to give you an answer on this without seeing how that template works. Did it come with instructions? I'm not sure how 3templates work.
 
It is a flash template with dreamweaver files. Basically there is a line that says \\\\\\\splash\\\\\\ or something along those lines but i am not sure what splash is. I presume it is to do with the homepage.

No instructions as such only how to upload it to the net

Surely you need some flash editor to play with it?

I am very new to the whole website building thing hence i bought a template, i do have flash 8, dreamweaver etc and can work my way around it somewhat with a little guidance

Please help
 
I have two flash files, one has the homepage with the bar across it with photos from the template and the other has the full photos from the template.
I have edited in dreamweaver and the photo gallery and uploaded my own photos but for some reason the small thumbnails on the home page are taken from a small section of my large photo and I wanted different thumbnails here.

Basically I don't think it is to do with flash..i think it is something to do with the dreamweaver coding as the template makes it owns thumbnails and places them down the side and takes the first photo and a small section to produce a thumbnail for the bar

Make sense?
 
Sorry for the ignorance...how do i do that? I feel like I can't sleep until i figure this out..currently trying to decipher my dreamweaver files
 
After a much sleeplesss night i have figured it out, it is to do with an old version of a gallery admin program (flex gallery) that i am using...a new version allows you to readjust the thumbnails....
thing is i don't have anything called flex gallery as such in my files but just lots of dreamweaver files, so how do I go updating it to the latest gallery admin?
Many thanks

Adds to the charm ;)

Right - I didn't realise this - what you have is a full on in-built admin program - can you not set it all up just through this [i.e. if you go to http://www.photographydoctor.co.uk/admin.php]?

You should be able to set all the necessary bits through there.

Sorry - didn't realise that was what the site was - it's kinda a smart content editor, rather than build from scratch - didn't realise this.

I'd have thought that once you've logged in, then the help file on 3template should sort it all out? :shrug:

Or am I missing something?
 
3template are absolutely useless when it comes to customer support.
Basically the admin.php lets you upload the photos but randomly selects a portion of my photograph to be on my homepage under each of my categories which does not look professional at all
Is there any way of writing a code to incorporate a similar flash design and upload photos so that it looks good rather than have a static website? (is that what is called :s )


Been watching tutorials all day to help me
