Are you talking about this block of PHP in the main index?

    <?php
      // User options
      //  set number of columns for table or zero for divs
      $columns = 2;
      //  set relative path to svManager &#40;default is empty string&#41;
      $pathToManager = '';
      // End of user options
      error_reporting&#40;E_ALL&#41;;
      $pathToManager = &#40;$pathToManager !== ''&#41; ? rtrim&#40;$pathToManager, '\/'&#41;.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR &#58; '';
      require $pathToManager.'includes'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'constants.php';
      require $pathToManager.'classes'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'indexpage.php';
      error_reporting&#40;&#40;DEBUG&#41; ? E_ALL &#58; E_ERROR&#41;;
      $indexPage = &new IndexPage&#40;&#41;;
      $adminLink = $pathToManager.'svmanager.php';
    ?>

In which case yes, you need it.

The line:

      require $pathToManager.'classes'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'indexpage.php';

Is what loads the "index page" as you see it, and then below that it is printed using a bit of OOP programming.

If you open up the index include, you can see where it is creating your tables.

And, just guessing here, but if you edit that on line 104 is this:

          $td = "          <td id=&#123;$id&#125; class=&#123;$class&#125;><a href=&#123;$href&#125;><img src=&#123;$src&#125; width=&#123;$width&#125; height=&#123;$height&#125; alt=&#123;$alt&#125;/></a><p><a href=&#123;$href&#125;>&#123;$title&#125;</a></p></td>";

You can likely wrap your bold tags there if you want. Do it again on line 149.

I'm guessing with all of this stuff though. I haven't tried any of it, but that looks like what the PHP is doing to me.

No clue about your first question.

Thanks to both of you for your reply.  I was actually able to figure it all out!  Yay for me.  This is a great tool Jack!  I've now got it set up so my client can just create create a gallery, import images, and publish and it all comes into the customized master with the same layout as the rest of the site.  With custom titles to match the gallery, etc. Works wonderfully!

I would like to get a copy of the new version that allows separate height and width, although, I've been pleased with the results and the client will never know the difference.

I do have a couple other questions, not sure if I should go back and post it in the simpleviewer pro threads or not...

Image quality: Because my server seems to have a 2MB limit on upload, I run the simpleviewer script in PS CS3 first in order to reduce the file sizes.  I then upload the resulting images to svManager.  The images are max size of 690px at 72dpi, but they are coming out large +400Kb.  In order to make them smaller I tried reducing the quality to 7 as opposed to 9.  This brings them down around 100-200Kb. I was just wondering what you guys are using, or suggest?

And finally,  I need to different gallery pages for the site.  I intend to use simpleviewer and would like to use svmanager to manage both groups.  But because the index.php would need to be different to match its respective page, would I need to install a second copy of svManager, name it svmanager_2?  And would that even work?  Or am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Thanks again for your help guys.  I'm completely satisfied with the product.  It looks great.  Whenever I get to 5 posts, I'll certainly share with you my implementation.

Jack,

Thanks again for the reply.

The client's clients would be high income home owners and businesses so I have used a larger size image.  I reduced the save quality in order to reduce the file size.  I've yet to notice any ill effects by doing this and the galleries load much faster.  I think I'm good there.

As for the two image gallery question...  That is exactly what I'm trying to do.  Just to give you an idea.  She is a landscape designer.  I have one page of her portfolio (finished jobs and installations), and she needs another page of materials (examples of materials used. i.e. stone, wood, fencing, etc.)  I tried to install another version of svManager last night.  I renamed the second version "svmanager_2".  I did this in DW and when I renamed it, I updated all of the flagged links in the directory from "/svmanager/..." to "/svmanager_2/..."  When I tried to access admin page I got a linkage error.  I'm going to try this evening to make a new copy, do not update links automatically.  Then do a global find/replace in that new directory to replace all svmanager with svmanager_2.

Should that be the fix?  And before I get too far... Does this require me to purchase another svManager license?  Or is it covered so long as they belong to the same site.

Thanks again Jack.

Maybe I'm not understanding the problem. But if you do a clean installation into svmanager2 and then edit the master gallery index file inside svmanager2 to get it looking how you want. You should have two completely separate installations on the same server, each with its own login.
