I am so close I can taste it! LOL

Here are the beginnings of my photoblog:
sissybooboo.com

I cannot figure out how to do this with the thumbnails and the images in two different directories unless I specify the photo path in the main entry and thumbnail path in the extended entry.

Images: photos/bathtubwords/images/photonumber.jpg
Thumbs: photos/bathtubwords/thumbs/photonumber.jpg

I am new, so I don't know what I am doing, sorry!
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
Nancy

You weren't very specific about how you were doing your photoblog (there are a couple of ways, depending whether you have the Image:Magic perl mod).

If you don't have that, which automaticly creates thumbs, then you need to hand code the extended entry (your thumb) to the path to the thumb directory, for example: "/blog/images/thumbs/".  Also, don't forget to change the image size if using this method.

If you have a blog and photo blog and want to create an excerpt of the photoblog on your regular blog, you can read my how-to entry here.

If you always have the thumbnails in the thumbs directory, and always have the full sized in the images directory, then you could hard code that into your template.

It looks like you started to use the format from my blogstyles tutorial, and the method there could definitely be modified to fit your directory structure.  Instead of putting the full path to the image in the "MORE" section, you'd just put the image name like this: photonumber.jpg

And then you'd change the main index like this:


And the individual entry like this:


Does that help at all?  Let me know if I'm completely off track and I'll see what else I can write up for you

Thanks for the help!  

Ooops, yes I am using Kristine's photoblog templates and I couldn't get Image:Magick to work (which is fine, I don't need a second thumbnail or duplicate photos, as I am using iPhoto for image cataloging and image web page generation and it makes thumbnails)

I am a little bit closer now, but I can't get the image to show in the Individual Entry Archive since changing the code



This is what is generated:



It matches the Main Index code except for the thumbs dir and that works...

I checked the path also and it is fine, I can pull up the photo in a browser.

Thank you!
Nancy

Oh, you are right!  I forgot about the fact that the archive directory would get put in that path automatically

Try this for the individual archive:


That will keep the full path in there

Kristine

Woohoo! Thank you so much for all of your help!

You know, I just love all of your sites, you are so talented!  I want to get one of your new light color photoblog templates, but I can't choose which color! (blue or purple, blue or purple, hmmm

Thanks again!
Nancy

I'm glad I could help!  Its nice when it actually all works out, isn't it?
And I really like how the light colored templates turned out!  Purple is always my favorite, but the light blue looks really pretty too!
