You can also install the skin by unzipping this file into the skin folder.
- Description
HTML5 / CSS3 dynamic album with transition effects, slideshow, map, shopping cart, videos, background music, full site navigation and many more. Works on touch devices too. Has 25 separate styles plus tons of customization options.
There is 2 basic operation mode for Turtle: "Single page" and "Separate slide pages" mode. Use the "Settings / Pages / Make slides" to switch.
In SINGLE PAGE MODE all the images are placed on the same html page, and the skin replaces them dynamically as you navigate through the album. In this mode you can have continuous background music, smooth transition effects, and lower server load.
In the SEPARATE SLIDE PAGES MODE your album will show every image on a separate html page, which enables Facebook or other social sites to Like, comment and share the images separately and search engines can find your photos easier as well. It will not allow as smooth transitions as single, no background music and results in almost doubled server load.
If you plan to add MORE THAN 500 photos in a single folder I'd suggest to use the separate slide pages mode to avoid memory leak with less robustly written browsers.
You can add CUSTOM PAGES too: right-click -> New page -> Empty or from template: About, Contact, Sitemap.
To choose the HEADER IMAGE (a.k.a theme image) use the right-click -> "Make key photo" menu. You can exlude this photo from the album at the same time with right-click -> "Exlcude".
To avoid problems during a SKIN UPDATE, Save the project before and click "Empty Project" (left) and back the current album again after, to let the new User Interface and variables get through (if any).
NEW SKIN VERSIONS are not guaranteed to be backwards compatible with older versions, thus after a skin upgrade you'll need to regenerate the whole album with "Settings / Advanced / Process subdirectories" = ON and "Process only updated subdirectories" = OFF! This will not reprocess all the JPG's, only the HTML pages, which is a lot faster, particularly in single page mode.
SEARCH feature also needs reprocessing all the subfolders (see above!) every time.
In order the FACEBOOK LIKE, share, comment and similar social functions work properly you need to specify the Upload Path in "Settings / Turtle / Advanced / Upload path" before album Make as absolute URL to album base. (Normally you can upload the album to any site after the album is made but these sites require this information within the album, which can't be changed later.)
Processing LARGE ALBUMS containing more than a few thousand photos might require bumping up jAlbum's memory limit in (Program Files /) Jalbum.ini : replace -Xmx800M with -Xmx1600M fro example.
Your comments are welcome - write a comment on the right, but please post bug reports, feature requests in the Turtle forum, see below.

Changed:

Please note:
- Turtle now can create slide pages too with limited functionality. These are useful for SEO purposes, because the high resolution images are placed on a separate HTML page and can be indexed easier. Being this a new feature which changes many things, can break some of the album functionality. Use with precaution and test.
- If you want to play safe, disable the "Make slides" option on Settings / Pages / Advanced / Make slides - jAlbum might turn it on occasionally
- This update brings a new method for image linking, therefore when you update albums made previously, make sure to regenerate all sub-folders.
Settings / Advanced / Process subdirectories = ON
Settings / Advanced / Process only updated subdirectories = OFF

- ZIP originals or down-scaled images per folder and offer for download
(not only the whole album)
Changed:
- The "up link" feature has been moved into jAlbum's functionality, see on

- ZIP originals works even if you don't select the "Link to originals" or
"Copy originals".
- The ZIP feature always creates (and Uploads) the ZIP files even if that's
unnecessary, because Turtle cannot detect if the files has changed. We might implement some change detection later. Sorry for the inconvenience!
3.4.0 Jun 20, 2012
New features:
- Facebook Commenting
- Visitors can download the whole album as ZIP
Fixed:
- Controls should disappear quicker on touch devices
- Videos did not scale to fit initially, only after clicking the fit/1:1 button
- Thumbnail for sharing was not available when none of the sharing was selected
Please note, due to the fact the ZIP format does not store the Encoding (locale) of the file and folder names you might get broken file names (and albums) after extraction on Widows. Java encodes these names to UTF-8, which is used by OSX and Linux by default. Windows, however, is decoding them using the visitor PC's locale (never UTF-8). We will create a little applet by which visitors can decode these ZIP files properly, but until then I suggest you to keep with simple ASCII file and folder names, and use the "Title" field in Edit mode to add accented characters. This method is more safe for using the album on the web too.
For the Facebook commenting feature you will need to create a new app on Facebook's developer center: https://developers.facebook.com/ Copy the App ID in Turtle's Facebook App ID box. You can use the same App ID on all pages of your site.

- Gray style's gradient broken on IE
- Shipping cost incorrectly added in some cases
2.2.0 Notes:
New features:

2.2.0 Jan 31, 2012
New features:
- You can control what will happen after moving beyond the last frame: "Nothing", "Start over", "Go one level up", "Go back to index page" or "Ask the user"
Fixed:
- The "New" indicator was not working with only folders in an album
- Share button was showing all the share options (not only the selected ones) with albums containing only folders
- Paypal "View cart" button reported something's wrong with the user's site
- extra 20px gap above thumbnails when there were no folders
- Gray style's gradient was too dark on IE7-8
Changed:
- The minimum width for the Folder name has been set to 100px (70px before) so the skin will automatically switch to the "thumbnail above, text below" mode if less space has left next to the thumbnail (raise the number of columns - Settings / Pages / Columns - to see)
2.1.11 Jan 9, 2012
New feature:
- Stick control bar to top (for those preferred Turtle 1.x's control bar placed on the screen top)
Fixed:
- Paypal's shipping fee hasn't been added
2.1.10 Dec 6, 2011
Fixed:
- Google Maps did not work in some cases
- thumbnail scroller has an extra 40px left margin
- .stop() on undefined element javascript error
- the header's bottom rounding is rough and visible on FireFox
2.1.9 Dec 5, 2011
Fixed:
- Thumbnails did not show up on the first view but worked fine after a refresh (a timing issue)
(Also click "Show All" to see how to fix "Internal Error 500" if you made an album with Turtle 2.1.7 and hosted on a server not based on Apache)
2.1.8 Dec 5, 2011
Modified:
- Removed .htaccess file from the skin, because it didn't work with all servers, and possibly could overwrite the user's own, previously added one. Those who experience "Internal Error 500" errors on their server don't need to regenerate the album however, just go into the "Upload / Manage" (Ctrl-M), Connect, click the wrench icon, and remove .htaccess file from the problem folder.
Info: .htaccess file was added in order to define the correct mime types (file handling by type) and to fine tune caching by file type. (E.g. JPG files can remain in the cache for longer times, while HTML files need to skip the cache.)
2.1.7 Dec 1, 2011
Upgraded:
- jQuery to 1.7.1
- HTML boilerplate to 2.0
Fixed:
- Theme image is now stretched to fit the Title area
- Text color remained black on old Turtle 1.x albums when upgraded to 1.x (you should re-select the Black style to avoid this, but now the skin itself fixes it too)
- No centering on IE7 and 8 when border width was set 0
- Javascript error on IE7 and 8 (in jQuery)
2.1.6 Oct 29, 2011
Fixed:
- Popups left on by mistake on mobile devices
- Wrong formatted encoded quote characters
- Fixed some validation errors. Now it validates as HTML5 (experimental), besides Meta tags required by Facebook share and Google +1 call code
- Google +1 button did not work in some cases
Updated:
- Italian translation by Giovanni D'Amico
2.1.5 Oct 25, 2011
New features:
- You can use metadata in Caption templates, e.g. ${Iptc.City}
Fixed:

2.1.4 Oct 13, 2011

- Download hint (Right click + Save link as...) added for the "Original" button
Fixed:
- Broken album when using apostrophe character in folder names (with URL encoding turned off)
- <b> <strong> <i> and <em> tags did not take effect in the comments
2.1.3 Oct 11, 2011
New feature:
- Sharing options on the Info panel too. Please note, that not all sharing sites support links with hash, which is used by Turtle skin to link directly to the actual image. Even though Facebook will link to the actual image, it takes its thumbnail from the static page, that is it will use the Theme image, not the actual.
Fixed:
- Albums with "Link to original" used the high resolution images as thumbnail, resulting in slow page loads
- With transition type "Crossfade" the Zoom-in effect took place while in "Fit to screen" mode, causing slower transitions
- Better reference to album thumbnail that Facebook will like more, hopefully
2.1.2 Oct 6, 2011
New feature:
- Better touch control on Android devices
Updated:
- Italian translation by Giovanni D'Amico
- Finnish translation by Pentti Stenman
- French translation by Danamel

- Some styles had texts hard to read
2.1.1 Sep 30, 2011
New feature:
- You can use formatting characters in the header and footer content, or leave it as is for HTML or Javascript content.

New features:

- You can add Header and Footer through the user interface
- Added option for displaying the folder description and image count along the folder thumbnails
Fixed:
- Audio loop didn't work
- Map did not work when the image caption template was empty
- Broken cross-fade transition (temporary blackout) on FireFox 5-7, due to a bug in FireFox's rendering engine
- Text color did not work on some places resulting in hard to read texts
Changed:
- The help button has been moved from the theme image area to the footer. No UI option for hiding it, as it's now hidden enough to bother anybody, I hope.
2.0.4 Sep 27, 2011
New:
- Control for transition type (Cross fade and Cross fade + zoom currently) and speed on the Advanced panel
Fixed:
- The second file of background audio did not play (if added as album file).

- Added "Legacy Black" and "Legacy White" styles to mimic Turtle 1.x look
Fixed:
- IE7 thumbnail page look is fixed
- IE7-8 the start button is repaired
2.0.0 Sep 20, 2011
New in version 2.0
- Support for touch interface
- Based on HTML5 / CSS3
- The thumbnail page can be both horizontally or verticaly splitted between the thumbnails and the Theme image. Use portrait sized boundary to see.

UPGRADING FROM TURTLE 1.x ALBUM PROJECTS
Using Black or White stlyes, please re-select the style (not the skin), to allow the new background and text color settings be set. Without this you might end up in unreadable text.
The following settings need attention when opening old projects, because they will be reset to their default values (in parentheses):
- Splash size (Image width x Image height * 0.66)
- Reduce Thumbs (2 / 3)
- Facebook Like button (no)
- Show photo data (no)
These changes were necessary because the skin's code was now rewritten to work with other upcoming skins.
The Location and Shop option data added manually in the Edit mode has changed names too, but you can apply the Tools / External Tools / Rename Slide Variables tool with the following parameters to keep them working in the new version:
- _location = location
- _shopOptions = shopOptions
This change was necessary because jAlbum app has changed its handling of slide variables.
Besides the above changes the BlackBlue and BlackRed styles were removed, though tons of new styles were added at the same time.
The Shopping cart feature is only available for Premium or Power account holders and those who've bough the Pro license. Jalbum.net's past donators will also receive the Pro licence.
1.4.3 Jan 17, 2011
Bugs fixed:
- "Method insert( int, java.lang.String ) not found"
1.4.2 Jan 12, 2011
Changed:
- Direct photo links changed from picture number to photo name, in order to keep links pointing to the same photo even after adding new ones. Read more about this change in the Turtle forum, see "Internal links have changed using the filename instead of picture number!" sticky
Fixed:
- Album thumbnails now shows up on community sites like Facebook. Works with sharing from the album list, the Share widget and straight from the Turtle albums
- Empty page beyond "Splash depth level" and "Auto start" is off
1.4.1 Jan 4, 2011
New features:
- Slideshow automatically starts when requested and no folders found in the current album level (previously it was working only when the page was beyond the Splash depth level)
- Handling the new "hiRes" images (resized to cca. 3 MPx)
- Keyboard is enabled on the popup window (Where to go next?)
Changed:
- Wider window for the facebook 'Like' button to have enough space for the translated versions

1.3.9 Nov 12, 2010
- Fixed jQuery 1.4.4 (the underlying javascript library) to handle the thumbnail scroller properly. Also the animations supposed to run smoother.
*** I have introduced a new bug, which is just a wrong letter case in a file name, so it's not a new version just a minor change. Please install the skin again if you've downloaded it before 2010-11-15 02:00 AM CET. Sorry guys! ***
1.3.8 Nov 10, 2010
This version is to fix the unpredictably moving top thumbnail scroller which got broken by a bug in the updated underlying jQuery library. The problem only appears beyond cca. 80 images.
1.3.7 Nov 9, 2010
New features:
- You can skip the modal window at the last frame asking "What to do next?"
Fixes:
- Google map didn't appear due to a new behavior (bug) in the underlying jQuery javascript library, which resulted in 0x0 px map area
- The thumbnail scroller above the images behaved strangely after adding the 2px gap between the thumbs

New features:
- Ability to apply filters to the splash (folder) image. Add filter / Generate album / Turn off 'Synchronize output directory' / Generate again. Voila.

- Added ${fileLabel} variable which shows the ${fileTitle} and if that's misssing the ${label} with the underscores replaced to spaces

Bugs fixed:
- IE8 users might received a Javascript error: the underlying jQuery.js library need to be updated to 1.4.2
- Hitting the 'Up' arrow from the top level page opened the link in the same frame. Now it is redirected to the the parent level. This is useful for those embedding the album in an iframe.
- Opening a page might result in a black screen
1.2.5 Jul 8, 2010

New feature:
- You can reach both help screens from the splash and image pages as well.
1.2.2 May 13, 2010
Version 1.2.1 was a faulty release, because the backup software mixed up the files... Please download the current version.

When I try to preview an album using the skin I get a Cookie warning for "~~Local~~" but even though I say "Accept All" I still get prompted on every transition. Any idea what's happening here and how I can stop it?

Switch to separate slide pages mode (Settings / Pages / Make slides). Facebook can't Like or comment internal states of a dynamic page, only individual pages.

Also check if the Upload path is correct: http:/www./kiakki.net/h12013/ has one more slash than needed.

hi laca, now i can share on facebook, for google + if there are any spaces in the image name, google+ drops the rest of the link after the first space in path. pls chk out kiakki.net/k12 i get an error from facebook about the path and the path is www.kiakki.net/k12/. if i clear the path, it is say it is running in compatibility mode. thx again
3 days agoLaca Molnar
Use "http:" in the Upload path: http://www.kiakki.net/k12/ Google needs double encoded URL's now - as far as I remember it was working with single encoding before. Now I fixed it, will be available with the next skin version.
