Batch of images html?

Question

I have over a thousand pictures on my website. There’s about 100 per a page. Creating all those html liks for the pictures to show up as a group is horrid. Is there any easier way I could do it instead of having a whole page of html image links and taking up so much time? Like maybe a php code?

Answer 1

not sure what you want to do:

- are all images in the same directory?
- the image links are thumbnails?

but you can try this script:

even Adobe Photoshop can do something similar, just go to FILE>AUTOMATE>WEB PHOTO GALLERY - you'll be able to select the source folder and stuff, it will generate all the HTML for you

Answer 2

Using php would take about 5 min if you're good.

You could go through your image directories and print out an img tag for each img, insert the path to the image, even do some custom alt tag based on file name or directory name.

Sound like fun?

Should only take an hour if you're not familiar with PHP. I'm sure we're all familiar with cut & paste ;)

Answer 3

why not just use a web design program?

in something like frontpage/dreamweaver for example you can simply insert > image and then highlight however many picture files you want from a folder...they'll be inserted into the page and the software will create all the code in the background.

you then only need to save the page, and upload it and the pictures to the internet for it all to work - 3 minutes work max.

I have had this same problem, however, there is a beautiful program i discovered called simpleviewer. You won't have to write any html, maybe a little xml, but its not that bad.
Check it out simpleviewer.com for more info.

Upload them to www.imageshack.us and then copy the url of the image. Then use the "pre-made" html codes to place them!
