Hi, I’ve used the Web Photo Gallery action under Automation and would like to upload the resultant gallery to an existing site. However the action creates a whole web package which seems to be designed to be uploaded to a site all of its own – eg it has created its own Index page and script and image folders which will overwrite my existing web folders if I put it in my current web directory.

Is anyone able to advise me on how to turn the files into something I can link to from an existing site without having to create a new site/ domain?

The photo package relates to photos of a wedding held at my client’s restaurant and I want to upload them so the bride can let me know which images she’d like in high-res. If I can get this working nicely I’ll do it on a regular basis as a service for other brides and event managers who use my client’s venues.

Thanks in advance,
Jo

There isn’t a problem at all. Just create a directory on your website and put the gallery in that directory. To link from your site to the gallery, all you need to do is to link to the index page in that directory.
