Hello,
I´m looking for german speaking arles-pro who can supply me with some support on arles to generate galleries like a template...just to kick me off.... 
It´s just too much for me at the moment....and someone who´s used to work with arles will need few minutes to set it up...
I´ve got no problem with English but some things are much easier if someone tells you what to do in your own language...
I supplied ICQ # in profile so please contact me via icq rather than via forum pn cause it´s much faster
thank you very much for now...

Hiya km911,
We basicly are Dutch, who speak very good English. I don't know about Jan but my German sucks. But there are English speaking folks here that can help you as well.
Tell us what your problem is, and we'll try to help you on.
Arles can be daunthing to start off with and needs a bit of getting used to because of the many possibilities.
So tell us your problem and we'll try to help.
Sorry, but i dont think many here use ICQ.
We check the Forum everyday so unless you are on a duck or die deadline you will get an answer in a reasonablle time.
Greets.
Toon D.

Hi Toon D
I think I´m speaking English also...but sometimes I think it´s not good enough for complex technicals....
I´ve got a sample where I want to build galleries from but the sample I cannot post in the forum...
Problem is to get some HTML between two blocks of thumbs....is that possible and how?
Just rebuilding one of the templates?
And where do I put the "between" HTML? There are just 3 fields for custom HTML - top of page, bottom of page and page-<head>...
Thanks

ok now....
I created a template that works almost properly - but in source code there is every thumbnail enclosed with some "<div>" Tags which I don´t need and Image Title is also displayed under the Thumbnail also enclosed with some div which is unnecessary...
How do I delete this div-tags and Img-Title ?
In source code I included Code: {indexpage.thumbnail}
And how do I get Arles to work with this Tenmplate every time?

Hiya km911,
I can not help you with the custom html and the divs. I do not use the templates. I just do not know if the divs can be removed without breaking the links. It really depends on what you remove.
You have to wait for Jan to answer that part.
The second question.
Quote: And how do I get Arles to work with this Tenmplate every time?
Arles has an option to start up using the last file used.
After loading your template from the Web Page Creator window (the small one) Click on File>Save As then fill in a name. The extention .ARL is added. This file holds all the info on the settings, such as source and destination folders and anything else you have set and because you loaded the template also the template settings.
Alternately, if you start clean, load your template if you have saved it, run it once then close Arles. Arles now asks if it should save changes to Unamed. If you click yes you can give the file a name and and again extention of .ARL is added to it.
Now to automaticly load the file next time Arles starts, again in the Web Page Creator window (the small one) click >Tools>Options>General and tick the box "Open the most recently used Arles File" Then close Arles.
That should load the .ARL file you just saved next time Arles starts.
Hope that helps you some.
Greets.
Toon D.

If you want to email me the generated code and tell me which divs you want removed I will have a look for you. Alternatively just change the CSS to style the div the way you want.
As to using templates I use them all the time. Open web page creator Go to 'Edit' - 'HTML templates' select 'simple' and then tick 'use index page template' browse to your template and then do the same for the 'image page templates.
Make any other changes that you want to then go to file save as and give your file a new name. Now whenever you open Arles Web Page Creator just load this saved 'arl' file in Web page creator and it will have all your previous settings.

Hi Colin,
Problem is that Arles generates from
Code: {indexpage.thumbnail} in source code of the generated page Code: <div class="thumbnail"><a href="images/olivia19.jpg" rel="lightbox[arles]" title="olivia19.jpg"><img src="thumbnails/tn_olivia19.jpg" alt="olivia19.jpg" title="olivia19.jpg" border="0" width="110" height="150" /></a></div><div class="thumbnail_title"><a href="images/olivia19.jpg" rel="lightbox[arles]" title="olivia19.jpg" class="thumbnailtitle">olivia19.jpg</a></div>
which is definately unnecessary cause it destroys my design and those div classes are not needed at all. I suppose I have to set something different as Code: {indexpage.thumbnail} to get simple code without all those divs
Setting up template works now so I just have to find out how to get some different templates to work.
Is there a possibility to generate some kind of sitemap of all the files produced by Arles?

If you look at the gallery.css you will see that the only styling that is applied in the thumbnail div is a bottom margin and text alignment. and the thumbnail_title styling is just font type and size and so it would be perfectly OK to delete these or just remove the definitions from the CSS.
Don't forget that CSS and DIV's are the recommended way of coding HTML pages now. I know that Jan is intending to move away from tables to this method of design and display.
Arles still uses tables for the display on both the thumbnail and image pages so it should be fairly easy to modify these to suit your templates. You can make lots of configuration changes on both the index and image pages as well as changing settings in the edit menu.
An example of one of my templated galleries is here.
Give us a url so we can see what you are trying to achieve with your existing design and we'll see if we can make any suggestions as to how to achieve this in Arles.

I think you misunderstood me a little....
css is ok for me, cause I´m using it on my templates also....but why use unnecessary code....?
It would be enough if there was a checkbox to say if additional divs are use or not...in my case I built some containers and I don´t need to put some extra div´s and style tags to every single img-tag. I defined that in my custom css file and it works great without some additional code...
I just want Arles to put links into the template as "link" img-src" and so on but no div in front of that....

I think I need to leave that to Jan to answer, sorry I can't assist any further.
