Thumbnails

Layout

Folder columns

The number of columns for folders and custom pages.

The title and description of the folder will be placed right to the thumbnail if there is enough space left (> 100px), and will be placed below centered the thumbnail otherwise.

Thumbnail columns

No direct control exists for the number of picture thumbnails in a row, because the skin will fit as many as can, based on the width of the theme image and the thumbnail width. You can control the number of with the following settings:

  • Thumbnail bounds on Settings → Images page
  • Theme image width on the Theme image page
  • Gap between thumbnails and Thumbnail padding (min.), see below
Items order

The order of different blocks of items on the index page.

If you happen to omit either the Folders or the Pages, make sure to turn on Top navigation so your visitors can navigate those pages.

Gap between thumbnails

The gap in pixels between the items on the index page. Applies to the folder and page links too besides the image thumbnails.

Thumbnail padding (min.)

The minimal padding around the thumbnails in pixels. (Applies to folder and page links too.)

Please note, the actual padding will be adjusted in order the thumbnails fill in the space below the theme image evenly.

Fixed shape thumbnails

By default Turtle is using thumbnails cropped to the same shape (or aspect ratio), defined on the Settings → Images page. You can turn this off, and let thumbnails keep their original aspect ratio.

Zoom

You can use a Zoom greater than 100% to instruct the skin to zoom into the picture before cropped to Fixed shape.

Folders / Pages

Show description

Choose whether to show the description (added in jAlbum) below the folder title on the folder's thumbnail.

Show image count

The skin can display the total number of images / videos / audios / other files below a folder branch. You can turn this feature off.

Show page excerpt

A short excerpt (< 256 chars) of the custom page can be displayed below the page link in the thumbnail area by enabling this setting.

Please note, the HTML tags will be stripped, and only the text will be used.

Images

Place thumbnail captions
  • as tooltip – The caption will be visible only if you move the mouse over a thumbnail. Doesn't really work on touch devices.
  • below – The captions will be placed below the thumbnails, always visible.
Caption template
The template for thumbnail captions. Can contain HTML tags, and jAlbum variables. Can be as simple as: ${caption}.
Move current thumbnail into view

Turtle skin tracks the current image in each folder, so when you return to a folder you don't have to start with the first image again. If you turn this option on, the album will move the current image's thumbnail into view (provided it wasn't there already).
