Is there a quick way to format jpg files from a website to forum form?

[dak125]

I want to hotlink a bunch of pictures but I don't want to go through each individual picture and add the proper Invision Board tags. Anyone know of a quick and dirty way to do it? Thanks in advance.

Considered it, but it won't fit my needs. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion, not sure I really made myself clear (not the first time ).

I have all the pictures on my website already. I want to hotlink the pictures to my forum but I don't want to go through 200 pictures and add

around each link. Besides doing just that, is there another way to do this?

Oh!!! Okay. I gotcha. Try JAlbum. It is what I used for my site. Easy enough to setup and everything.

Maybe that will help you some?

I appreciate the suggestion but I have gallery software on my webhost already. I have all the pictures in a directory and just want to hotlink them to my forum. IE: www.thispalce.com/picture1.jpg

I just want something to add the

code around the links because I have like 200 pictures to hotlink.

If the picture names are consecutive, set up a formula in excel to add the appropriate strings to the beginning and end of the URL, and then copy the appropriate formula results.

Copy/paste the links in Wordpad.

Replace: Find What - http:// Replace with - http://
and then
Replace: Find what - .jpg Replace with .jpg

Ingenius! Now, I don't suppose you have any ideas as to how I can copy all the links without all the worthless stuff to the right? Copying it via FTP gives me FTP://www..etcet.

Thanks much.

Firefox plugin that shows true links? I think there's such a thing.

for my $filename(@filenamelist){
print "

"; # or whatever the tag format is.
}

find: \.jpg.*$
replace with: .jpg

This only works in an editor that supports regular expressions.
