View multiple photos

How to create a page to view multiple photos? Something like thumbnails to show all photos and click on thumbnail will enlarge the selected photo.

Photo albums are a difficult issue and a common request. There are countless ways to do this with HTML and other tricks but the best solution will depend on your skill level. Maybe the best thing would be to have a look at some sample apps in the App Store (I'm assuming your working with iOS) made at buzztouch that include photos. Here are two that I know of: SwissVu works nicely with images on lots of screens Thrifty Car Sales does a nice job with images on their inventory screens Again, you may or may not be able to pull this off without at least some technical understanding.

A possible simple solution may be to use a photo editing program in order to make one single image file out of several photos cropped to the appropriate size, placed either beneath each other or beside each other. Then save as PDF and use buzztouch's pdf viewer which allows the user to scroll. Maybe this can be done by creating pdf documents with pages as well, or alternatively a word doc with images placed (haven't tried the latter myself. May be a problem with fitting the images to the screen). Although, there won't be any thumbnails. Just the opportunity to scroll between pictures.

I placed photos in word in a table. It doesn't look very neat unless all the pictures are the same size. I tried making an html but you have to have the pictures online somewhere for the html to pull from, maybe flicker. I'm holding out to be an early adopter!

You could integrate flickr or photobucket albums. They optimise for mobile and will perform the functions you want (thumbnail, large image + a longclick dialogue - save image, set as wallpaper etc)
