Using tokens in Web photo gallery styles


    Photoshop features tokens in the HTML template files that are used to define a default Web photo gallery style. The tokens enable Photoshop to generate a gallery based on user input in the Web Photo Gallery dialog box.

    When customizing or creating a gallery style, you can add any token to any HTML template file, with the exception of %THUMBNAILS% and %THUMBNAILSROWS%, which can only appear in the IndexPage.htm file. When adding a token, keep in mind that you may also need to add HTML code to the file so that the token is used correctly.

    You can use the following tokens in the HTML template files:

    %ALINK%

    Determines the color of active links.

    %ALT%

    Determines the name of an image file.

    %BANNERCOLOR%

    Determines the color of the banner.

    %BANNERFONT%

    Determines the font of the banner text.

    %BANNERFONTSIZE%

    Determines the font size for the banner text.

    %BGCOLOR%

    Determines the background color.

    %CAPTIONFONT%

    Determines the font for the caption below each thumbnail on the home page.

    %CAPTIONFONTSIZE%

    Determines the font size for the caption.

    %CHARSET%

    Determines the character set used on each page.

    %CURRENTINDEX%

    Determines the link for the current home page.

    %DATE%

    Determines the date that appears on the banner.

    %FILEINFO%

    Determines the image file information for a caption.

    %FILENAME%

    Determines the filename of an image.

    %FIRSTPAGE%

    Determines the link for the first gallery page that appears in the right frame of a frame set.

    %FRAMEINDEX%

    Determines the link for the home page that appears in the left frame of a frame set.

    %HEADER%

    Determines the title of the gallery.

    %IMAGEBORDER%

    Determines the border size of the full-size image on a gallery page.

    %IMAGEPAGE%

    Determines the link to a gallery page.

    %IMAGESRC%

    Determines the URL for a full-size image on a gallery page.

    %LINK%

    Determines the color of links.

    %NEXTIMAGE%

    Determines the link for the next gallery page.

    %NEXTINDEX%

    Determines the link for the next home page.

    %PAGE%

    Determines the current page location (for example, page 1 of 3).

    %PHOTOGRAPHER%

    Determines the name of the person or organization that deserves credit for the photos in the gallery.

    %PREVIMAGE%

    Determines the link for the previous gallery page.

    %PREVINDEX%

    Determines the link for the previous home page.

    %SUBPAGEHEADER%

    Determines the title of the gallery.

    %SUBPAGETITLE%

    Determines the title of the gallery.

    %TEXT%

    Determines the text color.

    %THUMBBORDER%

    Determines the border size for the thumbnails.

    %THUMBNAILS%

    This token is replaced with thumbnails using the Thumbnail.htm file for the frame styles. You must place this token alone in a single, non-breaking line in the HTML file.

    %THUMBNAILSRC%

    Determines the link to a thumbnail.

    %THUMBNAILSROWS%

    This token is replaced with rows of thumbnails using the Thumbnail.htm file for the non-frame styles. You must place this token alone in a single, non-breaking line in the HTML file.

    %TITLE%

    Determines the title of the gallery.

    %VLINK%

    Determines the color of visited links.

    Important: When customizing or creating a template for a gallery style, you should place each of the following tokens on a separate line in the HTML file: %CURRENTINDEX%, %NEXTIMAGE%, %NEXTINDEX%, %PAGE%, %PREVIMAGE%, and %PREVINDEX%. When generating specific pages of a gallery, Photoshop skips lines in a template that contain tokens that don't apply to those pages. For example, when Photoshop generates the first gallery page, it skips any line in the template that contains the %PREVIMAGE% token, which determines the link to the previous gallery page. By keeping the %PREVIMAGE% token on a separate line, you ensure that Photoshop doesn't ignore other tokens in the template.
