INTRODUCTION
------------
webAlbum is an online, electronic photo album designed for use
with personal and corporate web pages. Do you have an enormous
number of pictures on your web site? webAlbum will take a series
of photographs and allow you to display them, flipbook style, on a
single page for easy viewing.
webAlbum was created for the need of an attractive method of
displaying pictures without having to make HTML pages for each image.
The Java applet is relatively simple to install; depending
on your knowledge of web design and Java applets.
Best of all, non-profit organizations may use webAlbum at absolutely
no cost. Additional features and licenses for commercial users can
be obtained by supporting webAlbum with a very small donation. Please
see the LICENSING section for more information on additional
features and licensing.
For instructions on installing webAlbum on your web site, please
continue reading. For additional assistance and album
demonstrations, please visit the support site for webAlbum
at: http://goopers.com/programs/webAlbum/
INSTALLATION
------------
Just as any other Java applet, webAlbum must be installed through
the use of an HTML document. Create or open the HTML document that
you wish to install webAlbum in, and include the following lines
of HTML code:
<APPLET CODE="webAlbum.class" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=350>
<PARAM NAME="Album" VALUE="fishing.albm">
</APPLET>
The above example embeds webAlbum as a 350x350-sized Java applet
in the current HTML document using the album named "fishing.albm".
It is EXTREMELY important that "webAlbum.class" be entered using
the case shown. Java is case sensitive, so entering "webalbum.class"
with a lowercase 'A' may not work. (Unless the standards have
changed ...)
It is not required to install webAlbum in the same directory as your
HTML documents. In fact, most administrators prefer to keep their
Java applets in a designated directory. The following example
demonstrates how this is done:
<APPLET CODE="webAlbum.class"
CODEBASE="http://goopers.com/applets/" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=350>
<PARAM NAME="Album" VALUE="fishing.albm">
</APPLET>
This example defines "http://goopers.com/applets/" to be the
base URL for where the "webAlbum.class" code is stored. Modify this
path to fit your needs.
CONFIGURATION
-------------
There are several parameters that webAlbum has which allow
you to customize the behavior and display of the applet. Each of
these are outline below:
Parameter Values Description
-------------- --------- ---------------------------------------------
Album URL Associated album file [Required]
ImageBuffering On / Off Buffer images ahead of time?
Target Window Default Target Window or Frame for Hyperlinks
Next Text Show: Next
Previous Text Show: Previous
Of Text Show: of
Idle Text Show: Ready.
ClickNext Text Show: Next Picture
ClickPrevious Text Show: Previous Picture
ClickPicture Text Show: Download Picture
LoadingImage Text Show: Loading image ...
LoadingAlbum Text Show: Loading album
Moment Text Show: One moment, please ...
Most of these parameters can be used to modify the text which
webAlbum displays to its users. This is helpful for people who
wish to use webAlbum in a language other than English.
ImageBuffering causes webAlbum to queue each of the album images
ahead of time, so that they are loaded in the background while the
user flips through the album. This can save time with albums that
contain a significant number of pictures. ImageBuffering is a
special feature that is available only in the fully licensed copy of
webAlbum. Licenses can be obtained by sending a small donation
to the author. Please see the LICENSING section for more
information on getting a fully licensed copy of webAlbum.
UPLOADING
---------
In addition to creating HTML files, you will need to upload webAlbum
somewhere on your server. webAlbum is made up of two classes, both
being: "webAlbum.class" and "oButton.class". Each of these classes
should reside in the same directory and must be uploaded using the
exact case shown. Java is case sensitive, and extremely
picky. Using any other file names may cause an error when running
the applet.
A third file, "webAlbum.au", is optional. Upload this file if you
have sound enabled in your albums. *.AU files are audio files
supported by Java. You may change the sound played by the webAlbum
applet by modifying this file. See the CREATING SOUNDS section
for details on how this is done.
Any album files you create must be uploaded to the same directory
as the applet. This is where webAlbum looks for them. Images,
on the other hand, may reside outside the applet's directory as
long as they are found on the same server.
* Note: You may specify the base URL for your images in the album
files, on line 9. Or, you may use direct paths containing
the filename and path for each picture, if your images are
located in more than one location.
Continue reading for details on creating album files.
CREATING ALBUMS
---------------
webAlbum uses "album files" to define the images shown by the
applet. Each album is made up of a title, color scheme, and a set of
URLs pointing to the images to be displayed in the album.
Due to security reasons, typical Java applets are restricted to
accessing files that are found on the same server as the applet
is stored on. So, whichever server you have decided to upload
webAlbum to MUST be the same server where your pictures are stored.
Creating an album file is relatively simply. You may use a basic
text editor, such as vi, lse, DOS edit, or Windows Notepad. Use the
following structure to assist you with creating your album file:
Line Values Description Default
----- ---------- -------------------------- -----------
1 Text Title None
2 RGB/Hex Background color eeeeee
3 RGB/Hex Border color cccccc
4 RGB/Hex Color of corners none
5 RGB/Hex Title color 000000
6 RGB/Hex Text color 000088
7 RGB/Hex Button label color 000088
8 Courier Default Font Helvetica
Dialog None
Helvetica
Symbol
TimesRoman
9 URL Base path for graphics None
10 Yes / No Enable sound? Yes
11 Yes / No Slideshow mode? No
12 Integer Delay interval in seconds 10
13 Overlay Button style
Frozen
None
14 Integer Number of Pictures 0
[...] URL Picture URLs
Lines beginning with a semi-colon are ignored by the webAlbum
applet, and therefore may be used as comments. In addition, any
blank lines are skipped. (Careful with these)
To create your first album, use the sample file included
with the distribution package as a template. Then use your newly
created albums as templates to create newer ones.
If you are a user of the Windows operating system, a free, compact,
and handy editor is available for modifying album files. Using
the editor is convenient for setting the color values, rearranging
image order, and writing picture captions. Visit the support site
of webAlbum to download a copy of this editor. Editors for other
platforms, such as UNIX, will be available if demand for such
a tool exists.
Changing the colors used by webAlbum is an option available in the
fully licensed copy of webAlbum. Licenses can be obtained by sending
a small donation to the author. Please see the LICENSING section
for more information on getting a fully licensed copy of webAlbum.
Once you have finished making your album files, you will need to
upload them to your web server. When uploading, make sure your
album files are stored in the same directory as the Java applet.
CREATING SOUNDS
---------------
To change the clicking sound that is played by the webAlbum
applet, use a sound editing program such as "Sound Forge". Optionally,
you may turn the sound off by disabling this setting in your
album files.
When creating sounds, you must use Sun's (AU) audio format--which
is the only file type supported by Java v1.02 applets. Files can
only be sampled at 8,000Hz, and must be saved as 8-bit mono files.
If you have difficulties finding a program that supports *.AU files,
visit Sun's web site for utilities that convert WAV files to AU.
It is very important to append approximately 3/4 of second of
silence to the end of your sound. Sounds that end abruptly are
often truncated by the browser if the user pushes the mouse
button several times. Appending a silence will ensure your sounds
are played properly
ASSOCIATED HYPERLINKS
---------------------
webAlbum has the capability of associating hyperlinks to its
images. This feature allows webAlbum to point to other sites,
pages, and images when the user clicks on a picture. Such a feature
can come in handy when wanting to use webAlbum as a menu system
where clicking on a picture would bring up another web site,
an enlarged photograph, or even a video.
To associate a hyperlink with an image, simply append the URL
destination to the end of the picture URL in your album file,
like so:
fish.jpg | My Fish | info.html
In addition, you may specify what is shown in the browser
status bar when the user's mouse is overlaying the image. By
default, webAlbum shows the URL. To set the status bar, append
the desired message to the end of the picture URL in your album
file, like so:
fish.jpg | My Fish | info.html | More about my fish
Frame support is also available, allowing you to designate target
windows, frames, or browsers by providing the target name in
the URL, delimited with an equal sign:
fish.jpg | My Fish | info.html = another | More about my fish
This causes webAlbum to load info.html in the frame, browser, or
window named "another". Also: since captions are still optional,
the case may arise that you would want to use Associated Hyperlinks
without a picture caption. To use the example, shown above, without a
picture caption, use "None":
fish.jpg | None | info.html = another | More about my fish
To learn about using JavaScript function calls as an Associated
Hyperlink, continue reading.
JAVASCRIPT SUPPORT
------------------
Using JavaScript with webAlbum is nice for creating pop-up
windows as your associated links. JavaScript communication with
the webAlbum applet is supported by using Netscape's LiveConnect
Java library. In order for JavaScript to be supported, the
following conditions must be met:
* Your user must have JavaScript support
* Your user must have JavaScript enabled
* webAlbum will need MAYSCRIPT permision
To give webAlbum permission to communicate with JavaScript,
you must include the MAYSCRIPT tag in your APPLET definition
block, like so:
<APPLET CODE="webAlbum.class" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=350 MAYSCRIPT>
<PARAM NAME="album" VALUE="cars.html">
</APPLET>
This is a Java security requirement. Once you have given webAlbum
the permission to use JavaScript, you will be able to
use 'javascript:functionCall()' URLs as your Associated Hyperlinks
to access your JavaScript code.
fish.jpg | My fish | javascript:popup() | More about my fish
The above line calls the JavaScript function named popup() and
displays "More about my fish" in the status bar.
LICENSING
---------
Thank you for your interest in webAlbum. Non-profit organizations
have the right to use webAlbum for free, with absolutely no cost.
Commercial organizations, or anyone who would profit from the use of
webAlbum, must obtain a fully licensed copy by making a small
donation. This, in turn, supports the efforts put forth in the
webAlbum project, made by the author.
Aside from the need of commercial use, there are some additional
features which are available in the fully licensed version of
webAlbum that may be of interest to non-profit organizations. They
are listed below:
Extended Feature Description
-------------------- ------------------------------------------
- Image buffering Loading of pictures in the background
while users browse the album (explained
in CONFIGURATION section of this file)
- Color configurations Ability to change the colors of the
album displayed by the applet

HISTORY: webAlbum
-----------------
05.26.2000 v1.1 - Added associated hyperlinks. Pictures can now have
hyperlinks associated with them. This feature is handy
when using webAlbum as a menu system.
Alternatively, you could use webAlbum as a
gallery to display a collection of thumbnail images
and have each associated hyperlink point to a larger
version of the picture or maybe even a video.
- Added captions for associated hyperlinks. webAlbum
will show the URL in the status bar if an image has
an associated hyperlink. This new feature allows you
to show something other than the hyperlink, such
as "Click for enlargement ...".
- Added target specification. Now you can specify the
target window where webAlbum will show its downloaded
pictures or associated URLs. This can be useful when
working in frames, or if you'd like to create a
pop-up browser for associated hyperlinks.
- Removed getParameterInfo() support to decrease
webAlbum.class file size by 1,100 bytes. This query
is hardly used and such information can be obtained
from the README.txt file. A simple trick to keep
webAlbum as small as possible.
- Added slideshow support. You can now use webAlbum
in Slideshow Mode to display your images in timed
intervals. This is handy when using webAlbum for
advertising.
- Added button configuration. Choose from three
different styles: overlay, frozen, or none.
Overlay buttons are what webAlbum uses by default,
frozen buttons will show buttons without
animations, and "None" will show nothing, of course.
05.18.2000 v1.0 - Removed sever security. This was written to prevent
other people from grabbing webAlbum while it was in
its development stages.
- Implemented image buffering. Images can be loaded in
the background while the user browses other pictures.
- Added audio support. You can play sounds when the
user clicks on one of webAlbum's buttons, such as a
click or maybe a camera sound.
- Removed URL checking. This speeds up image loading
tremendously! It should be the administrator's
responsibility to make sure the URLs point to files
that exist. webAlbum will only report errors for
improperly formed URLs.
- Added configurable displays. This is handy for using
webAlbum in a language other than English.
01/10/1999 v0.5 - Fixed the "Loading image ..." so it stays centered as it
is loading the photograph.
- "Mouse overlay" buttons were not reacting very quickly on
slower computers, since the paint() method has to do so
much. The paint() method now paints the buttons
BEFORE it updates its display and after the
displays. This makes them -appear- faster, at least.
- Added a "Loading album ..." status to the initial start
of the applet, so the user doesn't get confused while
waiting at a blank screen.
- Added the ability to specify a "base path" which
webAlbum will look at for graphics. Optionally, you can
disable this feature by specifying "none" as the base
path. In which case, webAlbum will look in the document
base path, if no path is specified with the graphic file.
- Added color configuration. You can now change the colors
that webAlbum displays when drawing the album.
- Added corners. Corners are optional and can be
activated but specifying a RGB/Hex value in the album
file. Borders are also optional, now, as well.
11.10.1998 v0.1 - webAlbum was born.
HISTORY: webAlbum Editor
------------------------
05.26.2000 v1.1 - Fixed serialization. When files were saved, image
filenames without captions would show up with
a bunch of extra spaces.
- Changed picture editing. When adding pictures, the
new default filename is now "< Filename or URL >"
instead of just "< Filename >". This is to advertise
that images can be specified as full URLs too--not
just filenames alone.
- Added associated hyperlink support. Additional fields
were created to allow configuration for the new
associated hyperlinks feature.
- Changed picture editing. When editing pictures, the
"Edit" button now says "Change" instead. This makes
more sense to me.
- Changed picture editing. You can now double-click in
the image list to "Edit" a specific picture, instead
of having to click on the "Edit" button each time.
05.18.2000 v1.0 - webAlbum Editor was born.
