New Zoomshare Photo Albums

With zoomshare's new image sharing feature, zoomshare users can share their images with family and friends using embed codes! You can send links to your images via instant message or e-mail, embed as html code in web pages, and use BB code links to use your images on forums and bulletin boards. The following text explains the changes we have implemented to our photo albums tool to better accommodate the additional features.

Photo Album Navigation zoomshare site visitors will experience a noticeable browsing difference when surfing photo albums. Previously, when a thumbnail image was clicked, a pop-up window would appear to display the full-sized image in a separate browser window. Now, with our streamlined navigation, site visitors will click a pop-up window and see a new view - a mid-sized view of the image - in the same browser window of the photo album, eliminating the previously displayed pop-up window. Site visitors can scroll from right to left using the 'Previous Image' and 'Next Image' links which appear above and below the mid-sized image. If a visitor clicks the mid-size image, the full/originally uploaded image will appear using a lightbox effect, wherein the browser window is grayed out to draw focus to the image on top of everything else on the page.

 

Where to Access Embed Codes There are two ways to access the Share Embed Codes for images. If sharing is enabled for a particular album on a zoomshare site, then site visitors can access the embed codes in the mid-size view of an image in an album, displayed below:

If sharing is disabled for a particular album on a zoomshare site, then site owners can access the embed codes while logged into their website tools, in the 'Add/Edit/Share' view of an album in photo albums, by clicking the 'Share' link above an image.

How to Share Images with Embed Codes

You can share your images in a variety of sizes and ways. Our new embed codes allow you to directly link to images using the Email/IM link, embed flipbook or individual images as code in web pages, or use BB code to link to images on forums or bulletin boards. Each image includes a URL to use by copying & pasting into the desired location as needed. If you need help learning how to work with snippets of HTML code, the W3Schools has a great tutorial available here - http://www.w3schools.com/HTML.

** A note about the size of your original images: If the image you originally upload to your zoomshare photo album is very small in size, then the HTML embed code URLs available will be Sml and Orig. If the image you originally upload to your zoomshare photo album is large-sized, then the HTML embed code sizes available will be Sml, Med, and Lrg.

 

How to Enable & Disable Sharing By default, each album of your zoomshare website has sharing enabled. If you do not wish to share your images with your site visitors, you can disable sharing on each album by logging into your zoomshare tools, clicking 'photo albums', selecting an album, and then click 'Edit Selected Album'. From this screen, you can uncheck the box next to 'Sharing, Display Share Information'.
