Show labels

Whether or not to show the social site's name along its icon. Applies to Share on buttons.

Buttons

Social buttons that work straight from their parent site. No other interaction is needed besides pressing the Like or Tweet button.

Please note, these buttons load huge external libraries on every page. If you enable many of them, the page load time might suffer. It's advisable to avoid using more than 2 of these buttons.

In order these buttons to work properly you need to specify the Upload path upfront. If you have uploaded the album at least once, Turtle can guess the upload path itself.

The social buttons don't work for individual images in Dynamic mode because the images are presented on the same HTML page upon user interaction, and these are only the internal states of the same HTML page. Social sites prefer HMTL pages as is, no internal states. If individual Like or Share buttons are important in the album use the Separate slides mode.

If something won't work properly on Faceook use Facebook's debugger tool to find if there was any errors in the album. This tool is useful for flushing Facebook's cache too, for example when it has cached something wrong.

Share on

Links to social site's sharing pages. By pressing these buttons you will be redirected to the sharing page on the social site.

Please note, you can't share a dynamic album's internal state, i.e. an individual picture on Facebook and Google Plus, only the index page. This is why no such buttons generated below the images.

Feedback

Your email

The email address you wish to receive the feedback.

The email address is obfuscated in the page code, so robots cannot easily extract it.

You can select images one-by-one, or select all (or none) at once. When you are ready press the Send feedback button and a window will open, see below.
On this panel you can write your message, add comments to individual photos, and when you click Send you'll be redirected to your default email application.

Please note, as a webpage cannot pass more than 4096 bytes to the email application (due to security reasons), the number of images is limited to cca. 20-25. If you go above this limit Turtle will warn you when you try to Send.
