Generate customised HTML code for galleries...

Hiya,
I'm considering smugmug as my choice of online photo storage... I have one niggle left though : I have my own site (http://encosion.com/) which is basically a phpBB forum, which I'm using to document my travels whilst keeping in touch with my family and friends...
So I'm wanting to post multiple thumbnails linking to larger versions... The forum accepts HTML code... I know smugmug provide tools for doing something like this per image, but I really need a solution for whole batches of images (per gallery? the entire gallery)... Take a look at what I'm currently doing on my site (Images and code generated by Photobucket) : http://encosion.com/viewtopic.php?t=11 : that's what I want to continue doing but through smugmug instead...
Is this possible? Can you show me any examples pretty please? Once this is cleared up, I'll start my trial and most likely subscribe...
CLARIFYING:
In a smugmug gallery, when you're viewing an individual picture you get the chance to "share photo: links, forums, blogs" for individual images... What I want is something similar but for multiple images... I.E. All the images in a gallery... So if I wanted to update my site, it wouldn't be a case of tediously gathering all the individual links together...
Through Photobucket, I'm able to get code generated for me for any combination of images I want... This saves me time I won't have when I'm travelling... I take this code and paste it into my website and voila! Here's an example of the code that Photobucket generates:
[The code doesn't embed very well on this forum!!!]
That's what I'm need to post the images on my forum / site...
Zoto.com have a similar undocumented hack, which enables me to make my own code generator... Here's an example of a page hosted on someone else's site... This code calls the images from Zoto, displays them as clickable thumbnails, when you click an image the relevant code gets thrown into the text box... When I've finished selecting a bunch of images I want for my post, I cut 'n paste it into my site... Take a look at this example on someone else's site:
http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/uploads/zoto_bbcode.html
People don't visit this page, just the site owner... The site owner uses it to generate code needed for posting these images on his site... It might help you to look at the source code for this page... If I customise this page and replace http://kordless.zoto.com/... with http://encosion.zoto.com/... It'll show picture that I have uploaded instead of this other user (kordless)...
Will call all images from the gallery ("GAL") called "sunn" in my account
("encosion") on Zoto.com...
Hope this is clear...

Log into the site, click on "albums", then click on "thumbs" for the album you want and then click on "Create thumbnail gallery HTML". You'll get nice clean HTML you can just copy and paste into your web pages.

Note that you'll need to have external sharing turned on for any of this to work, but it sounds like you may have that turned on already.

ps. photobucket can do this, without the need of an add-on. Is there any possibility that smugmug will do the same in the future?
I very basically want the produce a bunch of thumbnails linking to the Original file... Not a lot to ask... I find the default smugmug gallery too cluttered and you can't see ALL the thumbnails at once...
Anyone?

But I think it'd be easier than doing it from the source of the ARRANGE page (which I was using on my travels 'cos all the thumbnails are displayed)...
Ideally though, it'd be great if you could add a simple option that'd generate fairly generic code for a gallery such like Photobucket:
Arrgh! The [ code] and [ php] buttons don't work as I had anticipated... Was trying to paste the code into this post so that you could see an example... But instead it's parsing the code!

images from the top bar can be drag-n-dropped into blogger, vbulletin, etc
