Topic: Images Not Showing Up - Just White X's

I have been working on this for a while and the only thing that is showing up is two x's.   I have validated that the images are there and the path is correct.  Not sure what else to do??

Re: Images Not Showing Up - Just White X's

Here is my url..

http://www.sqftgalleries.com/simpleview … opertyid=2

I am using Coldfusion to ouput an xml file that the gallery uses.   I have looked at the ouput and it is as follows..

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <simpleviewerGallery maximageHeight='640' maximageWidth='640' textColor='0xFFFFFF' frameColor='0xffffff' frameWidth='10' navPadding='20' stagePadding='30' thumbnailColumns='3' thumbnailRows='3' navPosition='left' title='' enableRightClickOpen='false' backgroundimagePath='' thumbPath='thumbs/' imagePath='images/'> <image> <filename>Winter Leaves.jpg</filename> </image> <image> <filename>Tree.jpg</filename> </image> <image> <filename>Oryx Antelope.jpg</filename> </image> </simpleviewerGallery>

Thanks for any help!

The xml you are using is not valid you need match the gallery.xml that comes with SimpleViewer, for example you are missing the <caption></caption> tags.

Thanks for the reply.  I had thought that earlier and actually tried putting in the caption tags with no avail.  I just put them back in again ..

Here's the xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <simpleviewerGallery maximageHeight='640' maximageWidth='640' textColor='0xFFFFFF' frameColor='0xffffff' frameWidth='10' navPadding='20' stagePadding='30' thumbnailColumns='3' thumbnailRows='3' navPosition='left' title='' enableRightClickOpen='false' backgroundimagePath='' thumbPath='thumbs/' imagePath='images/'> <image> <filename>ist2_2085306-luxury-home.jpg</filename> <caption>test</caption> </image> </simpleviewerGallery>

And still get the x's

Could trailing spaces in the xml be a problem?

You need the caption tags in the xml unless you edit the Actionscript to remove them. You can leave them empty if you do not want a caption.

If I go to ist2_2085306-luxury-home.jpg in the thumbs or images folders I'm getting a 404.

Re: Images Not Showing Up - Just White X's

You wouldn't have found them b/c I had pointed the imagePath to another folder where they were stored.  But, just to test, I copied the images over to the "thumbs" and "images" folder that is inside the "simpleviewer" folder.   I also cleared out the imagePath that I had entered so its default.   I access the image fine at
http://www.sqftgalleries.com/simpleview … y-home.jpg

Is that the correct default location for images? 

Thanks for helping.  I have racked my brain all week.

Re: Images Not Showing Up - Just White X's

Miker - Thanks for your help - I finally figured it out.  I went about creating my Dynamic XML in my Coldfusion file another way.  I used the CFXML variable to build the xml where before I was just using a regular variable. 

Thanks again.
