Hey there,

I am wondering if anyone can help me make a Photo Album.

I am looking for something like the following: http://www.wwe.com/s...enjaminziggler/

I don't exactly want to make one, I am just wondering if anyone knows where to download any script for something like this.

Thanks!
Gary.

Hello,

If you want to make something like that, for a website, I'd suggest to look for two things :
1. First of all : a javascript library. jQuery is one of the best for now (NB : "one of the best" does only express my own opinion. Others may not agree. I don't wanna flame !)
=> google on jquery and study some tutorials. That's quite easy.

2. Secondly, what you call a photo album (with, I think the feature of having them turning after a few seconds) is what is commonly called a slideshow. Once again, slideshows like that are usually built on a javascript library. After having understood jQuery, you should try to search google for "jQuery slideshow". One of the matches is this page : http://www.themeflas...-and-tutorials/ It seems interesting to explore...

Just have a look, pick and have fun building your site !!

Best regards,

Hi GaryORLFC,

Unfortunately your link is now broken, but I often use jQuery Cycle as a quick and dirty gallery slide show :

With a bit of creativity you can really flesh it out and customise it to your own needs. I find this is essential because existing pre-made galleries tend to be quite restrictive.
