JAlbum is an absolutely brilliant concept, that can however hide iteslf behind some complcated schematics (especially if the customer is a bit dense). For anything beyond basic drag and drop - no.
Would I recommend jAlbum - for basic album creation tasks - absolutely. I ended up having MacHighway support delete the entire directory structure and I started over using Transit to upload the files. These files prevented me from removing directories since my FTP client would not see them. I used upload to send files to my MacHighway site only to find out that it included some internal Mac files that start with a period (.). Upload should only be used with the jAlbum site.
#JALBUM VIDEO POP UP SKIN#
one skin I downloaded "NospOfTombl" says it requires jAlbum 8.0 or higher - hum, last time I checked 11 was greater than 8. If you don't select "Copy Originals" on the Album Settings / Pages tab and you have jAlbum resize your photos - you better have a backup somewhere else (thank you Time Machine!). This means that widgets won't work for my albums.
I'm don't use the jAlbum site (I have my own domain), so I never sign in via the jAlbum software.
#JALBUM VIDEO POP UP SOFTWARE#
It took me almost 2 hours of playing with the software to figure out the right combination of settings that would display the text I wanted in the location I wanted. on the topic of documentation - name vs Title vs Caption. A few times, I had jAlbum change the Skin after the Make Album completed - messing up my layout. you must be sure to explicitly save your work before performing a Make Album. Adding a search feature to the documentation site would help also. The documentation for advanced users really needs to be improved. If you want to do something more complex (user variables?, imbedded HTML?) you will spend hours trying to figure it out. If you stick the the basics the documentation supplied is sufficient. The Not so Good: - documentation - a good piece of software should be intuitive by nature. there seem to be a lot of options for an album. you can easily organize your album using folders. multiple skins (templates that define the look of the rendered web page) allow you to choose a style that suits your photos. photos can have a name (file name), Title, and/or Caption. you can have jAlbum automatically resize your photos. The Good: - drag and drop adding of photos, music and videos makes setting up the album easy. JAlbum is a good replacement for iWeb, and while easy to use, has some quirks that you need to be aware of to save yourself reworking a newly created website. A fairly easy to use web album creator that is a bit buggy and needs much better documentation.
