Does anyone use Simple Gallery?

Phaser · 28 May 2007 at 18:56

I'm trying to add one of these to a page on my site.

http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/new/music-event-reviews-grimupnorth-may07.php

Now, it can see the link to the gallery as it loads up fine, but it says it can't actually load the gallery? Any ideas?

I've got everything in absolute URL's pointing to the directory but still nothing.

If you go to the actual URL of the gallery it's working fine.

http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/new/site-gallery/grimupnorth-may07/viewer.swf

Any ideas?

Cheers.

I've got round it by putting the gallery in an iframe on the page...Not too keen on cheating but it validates as Transitional - reckon I should just leave it?

The gallery won't load but http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/new/site-gallery/grimupnorth-may07/viewer.swf displays fine.

Code:

<div id="flashcontent">
SimpleViewer requires Macromedia Flash. 
<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/">
Get Macromedia Flash.</a> If you have Flash installed, 

<a href="http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/new/site-gallery/grimupnorth-may07/index.html?detectflash=false">click to view gallery</a>
</div>
	  	
<script type="text/javascript">  		
var fo = new SWFObject("http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/new/site-gallery/grimupnorth-may07/viewer.swf", "viewer", 
"580", "435", "7", "#181818");		  	
fo.write("flashcontent");	  	
</script>

Thats sorted it, but now my images aren't loading.

Again if you go to http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/new/site-gallery/grimupnorth-may07/ they are fine.

In the xml file i've pointed the thumbs and images folders to the relevant place too. Tried running buildscript.php again too.

Got it sorted, however to keep my gallery layout i'm going to have to save the xml file, create the new one when new images are loaded, download it, reapply the changes then upload.

Sometimes it seems it works, other times it dosen't.

Got it working at the moment like:

Going to try and that background black - do you have to do a full size background image or can you repeat it?

Cheers.
