Hotlinking:

If you host a website, you have most likely been the victim of hotlinking at one time or another. Hotlinking is when someone displays your images (or other media) on their website by directly linking to your server. This means they get to display your files while your bandwidth is being used.
Sometimes server-hosts disable hotlinks themselves

I don't think that is the case....

Is the path correct? Is your html-page 2 levels up from 'gallery.xml?
Your codes say so....:
(/sampleportfoliogallery/gallery.xml)

I get in firefox: "gallery not found" so the path must be wrong...

You must check if the structure of your folders are the same as in your coding; (the file has to be in the same place as where you point to) and upload it exactly so to the server.

Par example:
Folder 'sampleportfoliogallery' containing:
  Folder 'simpleviewer' containing: gallery.xml, index.html, swfobject.js, viewer.swf and 2 folders: images and thumbs

In html you must have, in this case: //fo.addVariable("xmlDataPath", "gallery.xml"); because gallery.xml is on the same level as index.html

In which folder your index.html is, you have to point to the correct folder in order to find the gallery.

Hi sugar

That will never work because:

Every folder with: gallery.xml, index.html, swfobject.js, viewer.swf and 2 folders: images and thumbs  MUST be in a unique place, you can never have 2 .html pages or viewer.swf or whatever simpleviewer contains on the same level.

What you must do is the following:
Your root must ONLY contain:

Call the root: 'website' with:

Folder: images (images within the website generally)
sampleportfolio.html (is this the same as the index.html which contains the photos? If yes, you don't need it here, you can change the index.html in the folder 'sampleportfoliogallery' but then you need to adjust everything in the codes)
print.css
index.html
contact.html
clientlogin.html
childrensbooks.html
bg.gif
andreas01.css
aboutus.html

FOLDER: sampleportfoliogallery
With
Folder: images (images for initail gallery - childrens books)
Folder: thumbs (thumbs for original gallery -childrens books)
viewer.swf
swfobject.js
index.html
gallery.xml

Now: to display the gallery (which is in the folder sampleportfoliogallery)  from the main page you put the following code in the main index.html:
<a href="website/sampleportfoliogallery/index.html"></a> That way, if you click the link to the gallery from the main page, it will display the whole gallery

You also can go and see how I've done it: www dot lingerieannemarie dot be, I used 3 times simpleviewer on the main page: Badmode, Lingerie and Nachtkledij, you can view the entire codes by looking at the source of the page.

Every button (3) has its own folder, with ONLY the content like above folder 'sampleportfoliogallery'

You're most welcome ;)

I don't think so......maybe with the version SimpleViewer-Pro?

the only css code you can use inside the index.html that contains your gallery is inline styling like this:

<style type="text/css">    
    /* hide from ie on mac */
    html &#123;
        height&#58; 100%;
        overflow&#58; hidden;
    &#125;
    
    #flashcontent &#123;
        height&#58; 100%;
    &#125;
    /* end hide */

    body &#123;
        height&#58; 100%;
        margin&#58; 0;
        padding&#58; 0;
        background-color&#58; #b22222;
        color&#58;#ffffff;
        font-family&#58;sans-serif;
        font-size&#58;20;
    &#125;
    
    img &#123;
border&#58; 0px;
&#125;


</style>

Inside gallery.xml you cannot put other codes....besides changes for:

maxImageWidth="480" 
maxImageHeight="480" 
textColor="0xFFE4B5" 
frameColor="0x8B0000" 
frameWidth="5" 
stagePadding="0" 
navPadding="40" 
thumbnailColumns="3" 
thumbnailRows="3" 
navPosition="right" 
vAlign="center" 
hAlign="center" 
title="Badmode" 
enableRightClickOpen="false" 
backgroundImagePath="images/slice-gradient.gif" 
imagePath="images/" 
thumbPath="thumbs/"

I tried to put my whole design also on the galleries and this doesn't work...

Example: see my layout here:

http://www.lingerieannemarie.be/

and one of my galleries here:
http://www.lingerieannemarie.be/lingeri … gerie.html

You see that my layout isn't the same on both pages....

Yes you can put a simpleviewer gallery into any kind of HTML page and use any kind of CSS styling. Check the FAQ, Q11: http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simp … r/faq.html

you can post urls. replace dots with spaces.

I've put screen caps of the two versions of my gallery at the following
www flickr com/photos/21695447@N03/?saved=1

One shows the page I created using SimpleViewer in HTML... you'll see that it doesn't show the gallery.  This page uses css for styling.  It retains the main image and link buttons I want to use.

The other shows the gallery I created using SimpleViewer and following the Manual instructions, so it is just the gallery, no other page stuff. 

(I havent' shown the third option which I'm having to go with at the mo- uses screen cap of how I want the top of the page and image map to act as link buttons- not how I really want it to work)

Thanks for the interest Ratty, I'll be getting it live once I've finished it... sometime this next week I hope ;)

Latest update folks:

I did all the stuff in the instructions for Manual SimpleViewer, and Q11 of the FAQ, including just copying and pasting the stuff from http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simp … /embedded/

I am sure that this is all what I have done before...

BUT now it works!

<doing a happy dance>

Will post link when the updated version is online.
