Topic: Gallery works for some users others get "gallery xml not found" error
Here's an example. This link:
http://brianwolfey.com/clients/family/2 … deshow.php
Displays for me at home PC, work PC, on a coworker's machine and my wife's mac. Browsers used with success are Chrome, Firefox, and IE 7 (barf, I know).
I've gotten several reports on multiple galleries (including the one above) that all the user sees is the "gallery xml not found". When I get these errors on my machine it's always a path problem that I can resolve in the HTML or galley.xml files. This problem persists for others even after I advise them to empty their cache.
The local folder hierarchy can be sen here:
http://brianwolfey.com/clients/family/2011/Liby/
If that doesn't work, I've tried to illustrate it below with "Liby" being the parent folder:
Liby
>slideshow.php
>/slideshow (this means it's a folder)
>>/photos
>>/svcore
>>/thumbnails
>/autoindex.xml
>/gallery.xml
>/index.html
>/simpleviewer.swf
>/swfobject.js
One of the modifications I've done to the gallery.xml is to change the linkURL so that it points to the photo folder inside the slideshow folder. Images weren't opening when the "open image in new window" button was pressed. I've added "/slideshow" as you'll see at the bottom of the gallery.xml snippet below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<simpleviewerGallery title="Simpleviewer Gallery"
maxImageWidth="1024"
maxImageHeight="1024"
useFlickr="false"
imagePath="photos/"
thumbPath="thumbnails/"
resizeOnImport="true"
cropToFit="false"
galleryStyle="MODERN"
thumbPosition="BOTTOM"
textColor="0xFFFFFF"
frameColor="0xFFFFFF"
thumbColumns="10"
thumbRows="3"
frameWidth="1"
showOpenButton="true"
showFullscreenButton="true"
languageCode="AUTO"
imageDropShadow="false"
imagePreloading="PAGE"
captionPosition="OVERLAY_BOTTOM"
autoPlayOnLoad="true"
goNextOnAutoPlay="true"
titlePosition="NONE"
showAutoPlayButton="true"
showDownloadButton="false"
imageFrameStyle="ROUNDED"
thumbFrameWidth="1"
thumbHoverFrameWidth="6"
>
<image imageURL="photos/Liby_Family_1_1.jpg"
thumbURL="thumbnails/Liby_Family_1_1.jpg"
linkURL="slideshow/photos/Liby_Family_1_1.jpg"
linkTarget="_blank">
<caption><![CDATA[Liby_Family-1-1]]></caption>
</image>
Again, this works fine for me. I have no idea why it wouldn't be working for others. :(
