Topic: 2 galleries from 2 seperate screens

I would like to call two separate galleries from two separate screens. However, whenever we publish a gallery it overwrites the previous gallery. Even when I try to rename them. They have to be in the same catalogue for FTP purposes. Even when I set the second gallery up in a second catalogue, when I try to copy it to the first catalogue it still overwrites the previous catalogue. By this time I have renamed them both so why does it overwrite?

The question is how do I set up two separate galleries in the same catalogue?

Re: 2 galleries from 2 seperate screens

If you are able to upload complete folders to your web server, I would recommend keeping your galleries in their own separate folders (each with a unique name) and using the baseURL method of embedding as documented here.
If you need to have the XML files for both your galleries in the same directory, then give each gallery's XML file a unique name and point towards the files using the galleryURL configuration options, e.g.:

<!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED.-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars={};
flashvars.galleryURL="gallery1.xml";
simpleviewer.ready(function () {
simpleviewer.load("sv-container", "100%", "100%", "222222", true, flashvars);
});
</script>
<div id="sv-container"></div>
<!-- END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->
