Both of these photos use the following parameters in the [photo] tag to link the photo to a custom page:
link=custom href=http://rpungin.fotki.com/best/img_0561.html
but the link does not work for the thumbnail version!

Wanna know how to do something like this in your Fotki journal:

Read More...

With Fotki Journals it's very easy to do. Here is the code that makes this happen:

<a style="cursor:pointer" onclick="Core.showHideElement('collapsedText123');">Read More...</a>
<div id="collapsedText123" style="display:none;"> This is the long text that can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the link above.</div> 

Note that collapsedText123 can be any alpha-numeric string, as long as it is unique in your entire journal. The same string must be used in both places.

The following are the steps to create a location in Fotki Location Manager. The example location is Fukuoka, Japan.

1. Go to your Fotki location manager. (My Account -> Locations -> manage) (Direct link: http://myaccount.fotki.com/geo/geo/)
2. Click on Add new location button.
3. Click anywhere on the map and type the name of the location in the callout and click on add button.
4. Find the new location in the list and click on Edit link.
   
5. Enter the location name below to get the geo coordinates:
   
   
Copy and paste the latitude and longitude numbers into the appropriate fields of the location edit screen and click on OK.

Now you can tag your albums with the new location by editing Album Properties and specifying the location in Photo-session location field.

Note that allthough you can also geo-tag each photo, only the geo-tagged albums will show up on the fotki-map.

See how the title is duplicated in the link to the album and in the text next to the photo? In any RSS reader, the photo title will appear as part of the link to the original content. It should not be repeated in the description element of the XML feed. Instead of using the photo title there, you should use the description. If it's blank, so be it.

Wanna know how to create a menu like this:

for your co-branded pages? Below is the bare-bones code that gets the job done. Copy and paste it in your co-branding settings. I recommend you back up the old contents as a text file some where on your computer just to be on the safe side.

A few things to note:

• The code is dependent on fotki.com's CSS stylesheets. If fotki.com decides to change them, this code may need to be updated.
• This code will produce a single-row menu, not the double-row menu that you see on my website. The double-row menu requires more customization which is beyond the scope that I want to cover here.
• Don't forget to change username to your fotki user name in the menu structure definition.
• The code references an external JavaScript file stored on my website: http://raphaelpungin.com/tab_menu.js. In order not to depend on my website I recommend to upload the file to your own webserver and reference it there.

Recently my hard disk crashed and I lost all my photos. Fortunately they had been uploaded to fotki.com. So all I had to do is use FTP to download them back to my computer with the folder structure created on fotki.com.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a way to tranfer files between two different computers connected via Internet. fotki.com supports uploading and downloading photos via FTP. To transfer the photos you can use any FTP client. I use an Open Source program called FileZilla. To connect to fotki.com use the following host name: ftp.fotki.com. Your user name and password are the same as in your fotki.com account. Once you login via FTP client, you will see folders which mimic your folder structure in your fotki.com account. With FTP clients like FileZilla you can highlight multiple folders and download them all at once including the nested folders. This is what I used to restore all my photos when my hard disk crashed.

Fotki.com has a great feature called co-branding. It allows you apply your own design to the web pages displaying the photos. Here are the co-branded fotki pages that I found on the web:

1. Click on Share photo button underneath the photo.
2. Copy and paste the code under "Code for a Fotki Journal"

You can also justify the image location to the left or right by using align attribute. For example:
[photo id=X type=vi align=right]
To specify the URL of the page which will be loaded when the user clicks on the photo add link and href attributes:
[photo id=X link=custom href=http://fotki.com] - in this example the user will be taken to fotki.com when they click on the photo.

Note that this will only work with photos in your own fotki account. They can be in either public or private section.

Of course you can just add any the image using plain IMG HTML tag and the URL of the image, but then you will not get the fotki borders.

It's a big chore to check every journal to see if there is a "new" comment... I only have a few journals, you have alot... Is there any way to see at a glance if you got new comments or do you have to go through each journal to see if you do??? I suggested to our Fotki staff last week that it would be a good new feature if like "guestbook entries" if both photo comments and journals showed a "new messages" next to the text. They said that they would consider it in a future upgrade. Have you found any tricks to get around this???
