Alternative Extension
« on: January 25, 2005, 08:23:46 »
First of all - EXCELENT APP!
I'm in the process of installing the gallery on my web site and I would like to know if it is possible to ceate the thumbnail images as a link to a different file or location?

Eg: plinth.png would link to plinth.dwg

I am wanting to use the gallery as a CAD drawing library with the images having the same name as the drawing but with different file extensions.

Any help would be appreciated.

a) add dwg to the moviexts in the album configuration,
b) upload both t_plinth.png (notice that it has the thumbnail prefix defined in the configuration) and plinth.dwg (in that order, if your are using the upload page)

 then t_plinth.png will link to the dwg file.  When you click on the link, the user would most likely be prompted to open/save the dwg file, just like any other download link.

if you upload both a larger screenshot (plinth.png) and the dwg file , then t_plinth.png would be automatically created and album.pl would display the same thumbnail for both the screenshot and the drawing file. as both have the same root name.
