Web Template Variables Confusing to Me

[smgerber]

I've been all over this forum and can't find an answer to a very basic question:

What tag do I use in a web template to use the filename WITHOUT the extension? #FILENAME# includes the extension and I don't want that because I'm using it for the caption of the picture.

Also,please, I can't find any explanation for "Information displayed" in the Web page Create dialogue. What does that dialogue actually provide. I press "insert" and see all these choices and yet nothing tells me their corresponding template variables, like <Filename With Ext>. I tried #FILENAME WITH EXT# #FILENAME_WITH_EXT#, and others and nothing works. I'm totally not understanding what "Information display" does.

I tried getting help by clicking "Info" "Help" and get a BAD TITLE error on this web site. I'm using version 1.97.1.

I'd appreciate any guidance. I really love the XNVIEW Web Page Creation feature. It's indispensable to me.

Thanks very much ... Sam

There is no variable to have filename without extension
And infos are used by #THUMBNAILS_LABEL#

Pierre, can you further explain what you mean by:
"And infos are used by #THUMBNAILS_LABEL#"

I placed different fields in the display box under "Information displayed" and then used the variable #THUMBNAILS_LABEL# in the "thumb.html" file and nothing good happens. The only thing that appears in place of #THUMBNAILS_LABEL# is the word "Thumbnails".

This takes me back to my question of what function is provided by even having the "Information display" window?

1. Go to Create » Web Page... » Information displayed.
2. Make sure that the checkbox for Show information is ticked.
3. Click on Insert >> and choose Filename to add <Filename> to the fileld.

In the HTML gallery generated by XnView, the filenames (without extension) should now appear where the #THUMB_TEXT# variable is in your template.

Example:

<td class="thumbs">
<a href="#FRAME_PAGE#"><img src="#THUMB_LINK#" width="#THUMB_WIDTH#" height="#THUMB_HEIGHT#" alt="#FILENAME#" title="#FILENAME#"></a><br>
#THUMB_TEXT#</td>

... will give you...

<td class="thumbs">
<a href="original/test.html"><img src="thumb/t_test.jpg" width="128" height="128" alt="test.jpg" title="test.jpg"></a><br>
test</td>

XnTriq, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Worked like a charm! The program author gave me an incorrect variable name, #THUMBNAILS_LABEL#. I wonder what he was thinking.

Am glad you were monitoring this thread!!! You've made me a happy camper.

Best ... Sam Gerber

Good to hear that it's working well for you, Sam

The output for #THUMBNAILS_LABEL# etc. depends on the language settings in Tools » Options... » Interface.

• #PREVIOUS_LABEL# ~ Previous / Précédent
  #THUMBNAILS_LABEL# ~ Thumbnails / Vignettes
  #NEXT_LABEL# ~ Next / Suivant

Template:

<td class="navi">
<a href="#PREV_PAGE#">#PREVIOUS_LABEL#</a> | <a href="#THUMB_PAGE#">#THUMBNAILS_LABEL#</a> | <a href="#NEXT_PAGE#">#NEXT_LABEL#</a>
</td>

Output:

<td class="navi">
<a href="test_1.html">Previous</a> | <a href="../thumb.html">Thumbnails</a> | <a href="test_3.html">Next</a>
</td>

I get it. Glad it's used somewhere. Don't need it but still good to understand it.

Thanks, XnTriq
