Add “Link to this album” to Whiist photo albums

As promised in the previous post, here is a way to add a hard hyperlink reference to all of your Whiist photo albums. This makes the album easier to share by adding the direct hyperlink to an e-mail or other web page/blog.

Here are the steps to enable “Link to this album”:

  1. Download the new album script here. Unzip the album.ashx file to a known location.
  2. For each of your photo shares you would like to enable this feature:
    1. Navigate to the public folder containing the photo share.
    2. Copy the new album.ashx file over the existing album.ashx file already in this location.
    3. If you view your website now, you will see a hyperlink in the upper right hand corner of the web page with the text “Link to this album”.
    4. If you select that link, the URL in the address bar of the browser will be a hard link to that album. The web page will not change, just the URL in the address bar.

Please comment and let me know how this works for you. To revert, just copy back the older album.ashx. I would obviously try this on a test album first to make sure it is what you are looking for.
