Is there a tool that generates urls for ALL images in a gallery?

omonra21

Currently we have to copy & paste urls for image on a single-image basis. If I want to generate a web page on my blog with all pictures from a gallery this is quite a time-consuming process.

Given that there is a way to get an rss feed for a gallery that contains all the urls, has anybody come up by any chance with a tool that would take that feed and strip out just the img urls for a given picture size? (if it also included captions that would be awesome).

Unfortunately I don't have the programming expertise for this but was hoping that someone either at SmugMug or on this forum thought of this and maybe even implemented it.

Thank you very much,

I don't believe so, however the following links may be of use:

Thanks. While not perfect, this seemed to be the best: http://www.codeplex.com/smugmug4writer

If you just want the URLs for the images (as opposed to the html page), then you could view the gallery in "All thumbs" style, look at the source code for the URLs of the thumbnail images.

You then need to change the -Th at the end of each image name to -L (to get large images)

How would you want them formatted? As an img tag with the caption as the alternate text, like this?

<img src="http://url.to/image" alt="caption">

What about a link back to the image, like this?

<a href="http://url.to/image"><img src="http://url.to/image" alt="caption"></a>

Or something completely different?

Thank you for the suggestion but this still requires a parser for the html page. I need a list of urls, having to manually extract each url from the html page is time-consuming and inconvenient.

It would be great to get the second option, ie image with a linkback to the original url. Since caption information is provided, i'd like to put the caption right next to the image as well (in the text, not alt img tag)

Thank you
