Topic: Cannot Parse Gallery XML

Hi there. I've made a gallery using Photoshop CS4 and uploaded all contents of the output folder to my website. It works perfectly fine on my computer, but not on the web... it's giving me an error saying: Cannot Parse Gallery XML. When I open up the gallery.xml file, I get an error saying: error on line 25 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document. However when I look into the code, there is no extra content or code anywhere.... I haven't changed anything since the upload either, so I can't figure out why it won't work.

Here's the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<simpleviewergallery

title="A Sacks Photography"
textColor="FFFFFF"
frameColor="FFFFFF"
thumbPosition="LEFT"
galleryStyle="MODERN"
thumbColumns="3"
thumbRows="4"
showOpenButton="false"
showFullscreenButton="false"
frameWidth="20"
maxImageWidth="800"
maxImageHeight="800"
imagePath="images/"
thumbPath="thumbs/"
useFlickr="false"
flickrUserName=""
flickrTags=""
languageCode=""
languageList="">

For the record, I've modified the proper image file numbers, but just for this post... Any help you can give me would be much appreciated! Thanks so much.

Re: Cannot Parse Gallery XML

possibly the xml got munged when you uploaded it. try re-uploading it.

Re: Cannot Parse Gallery XML

Okay, I've just done that. I deleted the original gallery/index/simpleviewer.swf file from my file manager, and even re-made the gallery with photoshop, uploaded it again, and it still doesn't work. :(

Any more suggestions? Anything else you need from me to help?

Thanks!

Re: Cannot Parse Gallery XML

Why is there a table,<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="728">, in your gallery.xml? Ahh it looks like your host adds a header to your files. You may be able to hack your way around this by renaming your gallery.xml to something else like gallery.blah and then change flashvars.galleryURL = "gallery.blah"; in your html to match. If that does not work you may need a different host or try calling them.
