Havok 30 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I just signed up for an Angelfire account after using Boomspeed ( silly 1meg limit). I have created an image subdir with several images and wish to share them. Now I can send the link to the actual image but how can I set it up so people can actually view the whole subdirectory ? I mean like an index page of all my images rather than sending people each and every individual link for them. When I try to type in the adress i.e. http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/ualhavok/images/ I get the following message ; 'Unavailable Angelfire Directory Angelfire does not allow the automatic listing of directory or subdirectory contents. If you are the owner of this Angelfire site, and you want these pages and files to be accessible to visitors, you must create an index.html page that links to them, or direct visitors to an alternate main page. ' when it comes to html and have tried to find out on my own thru their help services but I can't find how to resolve this. So how do I go about creating an index.html page to link to them is my question? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dannik 43 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 You can simply write an html file with hyperlinks to each image/file in the directory, and name it index.html, or use whatever applications you have for webdesign to create one for you. If you want it to be dynamic, you'll likely have no luck, since I do not believe (but I really am not certain of this) Angelfire supports dynamic scripting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Okay how do I do that ? I have no knowledge of html and am learning as I go. <img src="/xx/yyy/imagename.ttt"> something like this would show the actual image on the page if I am following right. xx=state or topic code yyy=dir name and then the file name yeh ? But I don't want the actual images to appear on the page altogether ( be a pretty large page and take forever to load.) I know it is probably simple.....but then again so am I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dannik 43 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/images/image1.jpg>Image 1</a> That gives you a basic html text link, which would appear as Image 1 but link to the file stated. You could use absolute (like I did) or relative (like you did) links. Edit: Doh! Yes, your link type makes the image appear and links to the source. You could modify the link code to make it a page of thumbnails (by scaling the image sizes in the index page, and not scaling them in the actual file tree), while my link provides a more simple "browsing a file list" appearance.

Havok 30 Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) My index page looks like this currently <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Havok's Home Page</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Welcome To Havok's Page</H1> <BODY> <H4 ALIGN="left">This page is under construction</H4> <BODY BGCOLOR="white" TEXT=Blue LINK=red> </html> So for now I just want to get these images up, work on the rest later after I finish tutoring myself. Where would I insert the tags you mentioned above Dannik ? Obviously I would be naming them Image 1, 2, 3 etc. Thanks EDIT: while my link provides a more simple "browsing a file list" appearance. Yes !! That is exactly what I am trying to accomplish Edited December 5, 2003 by =UAL=Havok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dannik 43 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) Put the links anywhere between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags. It might not be pure XHTML compliant, but it's good enough for what you need. EDIT: Make sure you close the BODY tag before closing the HTML tag. Good housekeeping and all.
