Integration of jalbum in wordpress part 2

5 juli 2009 12 Comments

Okay, so the original setup of jalbum integration on this site started to bother me, so I tried out a new solution and I like this a lot better.

To some this will sound like the simplest thing ever and for others it will probably sound a bit advanced, but I assure you that it’s really not. So here’s what you do if you want to integrate jalbum as a page in wordpress.

You have to make a custom page file (this is the part that might sound a bit advanced to some users, but just do as instructed and it should be quite easy).

Create a new textfile, and insert the following text in it:

<?php /* Template Name: photoalbum
*/ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

<center> <object data=”http://jalbum.url/index.html” width=”600″ height=”2500″ id=”gallery” name=”gallery”>  Your browser could not include this object </object> </center>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

You of course have to put in the correct URL for your jalbum files instead of jalbum.url.  Save this file as photoalbum.php in yourwordpress theme folder.

Now go to your wordpress control panel, and create a new page, now you should be able to select photoalbums as template for your page, select this and just give the page the headline photoalbumspublish it and you’re done.

The end result should work something like this

And if you still want to have a sidebar on the page just insert the followin as the secondlast line in yourphotoalbums file:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    this also happened to me once because wordpress didn't know how to translate the code, did you remember to paste the code on the HTML tab?

    Hi,

    I though that I have to create a new file:

    "You of course have to put in the correct URL for your jalbum files instead of jalbum.url. Save this file as photoalbum.php in yourwordpress theme folder."

    sorry, you're right, I was thinking of the first solution i posted in part 1, so scratch me previous answers :s

    did you remember to put a headline on the page after you selected it as a template?

    Hej Dorthe.
    Dit indlæg var røget i spamfolderen så du må undskylde jeg først svarer nu. Kan ikke se dit album, så er lidt svært at svare på, du har jo nok slettet det fordi du blev træt af at vente, men skriv gerne igen hvis der er noget, dine beskeder skulle ikke ende i spamfiltret mere.

    Just put this in a page with the album adjusted for page size … and insert the .css below

    <iframe name="I1" src="http:///album URL" width="550" height="700">
    Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.
    </iframe>

    iframe {
    border: 0px solid #ffffff;
    }
    .I1 {
    margin-left: 10px;
    position: relative;
    width: 500px;
    border:0px;
    background-color:#fff;
    }
