If jAlbum's Pages tab does not have 'Make slide pages' checked the album will be made as a single page, as this manual is. You can still have alternative images to the main image, just follow the same method as if you were making slide pages.
The theme image can 'push' the page content off the bottom of the screen, with just a 'continue' button and the small navigation bar at the bottom. Clicking the 'continue' button brings the page content up, with the navigation bar at the top.
These controls select how index and template pages are displayed, as described bove or with the page content already partially shown. Root index only means just the 'landing/album home' page. All index pages means all index pages including the root and all subfolders. All index and template pages is just that, every page except for slide pages (if included) have their content off the screen.
These settings let you select a font for the main title and another for the content. The default is to use web safe fonts, but you can use Google fonts if you want more choice. To use Google fonts check the setting 'Use Google fonts...' and then click on the 'F' icons to be taken to Google fonts. There are two blocks of code to copy and paste into the text boxes for each font. For example, to use the Lato font enter the code below as a contiguous block of text:
To include a logo file, transparent png's work best, tick the checkbox and then click on the 'Include a logo in the theme image'. Navigate to your logo file and click OK. You can set the height of the logo between 50 and 300 pixels, it will not scale up to avoid fuzzy images.
You can include a download button for visitors to save a copy of the image, either the linked to image or, if available, the original.
You can add up to two links to external sites, such as your sites home page or a link to another of your activities on the net. Just enter the link first and then the name to be used for the link.
These settings are divided into three sets of controls, one for index pages tone for slide pages - if made and one for searching an album of albums. For search from a master album to work the sub-albums must have the 'is sub-album...' checked and the path to the published sub-album entered. The path should take the form of, for example, https://robm.jalbum.net/Welcome to jAlbum/
If the path is not known before making the album it will need the path entering after the make operation and the album made and uploaded again.
After all sub-albums have been made and uploaded the master album needs making and uploading too. The master album needs to have the 'Multisearch' template added to the root folder. Open the template to access the settings and enter the paths to all of the sub-projects root folders. As an example you would enter something like this (based on macOS)
/Users/robert/My Albums/Samples/Sample Portfolio/
/Users/robert/My Albums/Samples/Sample Project/
/Users/robert/My Albums/Samples/Welcome to jAlbum/
This lets you enter CSS code to change specific design elements of the resultant web pages.
