GenoPro Gold Version 1.91b

I have a large family tree, which with pictures attached, has exceded by web space storage when I upload.

I have a paid for storage site (Streamload) where my pictures are securely saved in case of lost HD etc.

How can I create a link to the photo on Streamload (as a hyperlink) so that if you click on the link the image will be available

e.g. sample of link http://www.streamload.com/sample/familytree/pic001.jpg

Hope someone can help?

Thanks
Phil

There is no easy solution using GenoPro 1.91b. Unchecking the option Duplicate "HTTP Path" (in HTML Options) does allow full URLs in the report. The problem however is you will have to change all your picture paths to an URL pointing somewhere at http://www.streamload.com/sample/familytree/, and each time you edit your family tree, the picture will have to be downloaded.

The solution is GenoPro Beta 13 (yes, I am working full-time on it). This beta has a field PathPictures to specify where the pictures are located in the report. By default, the pictures arestored in a sub-directory named "Pictures" however you can specify something else. If the PathPictures is an absolute path, then the pictures are linked to the destination path without being copied. The following configuration would work for you, as all the pictures would be linked to http://www.streamload.com/sample/familytree/. You would have to manually upload the pictures to http://www.streamload.com/sample/familytree/.

<ReportGenerator ScriptLanguage="VBScript">
<Parameters ThumbnailSize="200x200" PathPictures="http://www.streamload.com/sample/familytree/" />
<Report Template="home.htm" />
<Report Template="index.names.htm" />
<Report Template="individual.htm" OutputFile="{id}.htm" For="Individuals" LoopItem="i" />
<Report Template="family.htm" OutputFile="{id}.htm" For="Families" LoopItem="f" />
</ReportGenerator>
