Sorry, this didn't show up before:


<PHOTO_IF END_ROW>
</tr>
<tr>
</PHOTO_IF>

we need to see the whole code, where do we look,the one you are showing is the end of a row in a table and starting of another row.

Here's the whole code. I only included that part because it seemed to be what controlled the rows. Thanks

<!-- thumbnails component -->

<!-- /thumbnail page numbers -->
<PHOTO_IF HAS_PAGES>
<div id="thumbnail_next_prev" class="small">

<PHOTO_CMP THUMBNAIL_PREV_LINK LABEL="«">

<PHOTO_LOOP PAGE_LOOP>
<PHOTO_CMP THUMBNAIL_PAGE_LINK>
</PHOTO_LOOP>

<PHOTO_CMP THUMBNAIL_NEXT_LINK LABEL="»">
</div>
</PHOTO_IF>
<!-- /thumbnail page numbers -->

<!-- /thumbnail page -->
<div id="thumbnail_page">

I think i got it may be, at the bottom you have a row but no cells

<tr>
</PHOTO_IF>

</PHOTO_LOOP>
</tr>

That's how the code originally was...
All I can see is that it tells it to end the row if it's at the last photo, but I can't figure out how to pick which photo is the last one.
I'm stumped...

I'm going to suggest that you don't really want to do what you want to do. 7 or 8 thumbnails across at 100 pixels in width each plus margins plus the width of the large image will be too wide for most visitors unless you're sure all your visitors are using humongous monitor resolutions. The templates are built to view easily in 800x600 resolution. That means almost no one will need to scroll l/r to view your page if left as is.

It wouldn't include the width of the large image... I have it right now so that the large image is centered, and the thumbnails are below it, not next to it.

This is how it looks now.

But is it possible to change how many thumbnails are in a row (whether or not it's "good" design)?

I'm sorry if I'm being a pain!

Possible??- I don't think so and I looked at the album adv. cust. templates hard. I think the layout is written to the <thumbnail_loop> component which you don't have access to from the adv cust templates. It looks like that's written behind the scenes from the blog manager appearance panel. I compared the templates for several different layouts and all are the same. From that I'm drawing my conclusion about the <thumbnail_loop>. It likely also controls the number of images/album page so even if you were able to hand code for your images you'd eventually run into a problem with too many images on a page since the thumb loop would likely need to be deleted to get your layout and would not be there to create the second and subsequent pages of your album.

You would probably have an easier time for your intent if you just created a normal webpage and used some sort of image script that is similar to what's used on the photo album but which did not have the album's dynamic generation features.

Here's the first script I found in a google search for "thumbnail script". This could be configured to what you want to do but would require more work on your end to create the thumbs and code for the images than the album builder. IMHO it might just be easier to live with the layouts offered by the album builder than to go through all the extra work needed to script and build the layout you want.

I'll try out that script.
Thanks so much for your help!
