Hi,

Thank you for your help. I am stuck at a different point now and can use some help.

I downloaded Adobe Air and svBuilder. I then created a gallery (I will need to create several for my website). I am in the "Publish" screen. I entered the "Gallery Folder Name" as the path to the folder where the new gallery files are stored on my local machine. Then I named the "Index Page Name" as "consumer_index.html", because the gallery is a series of consumer related photos for the website.

On page 13 of the "Embedding into a HTML Page" instructions, Step 5 says to "Copy the entire contents of your SimpleViewer gallery folder into the folder that contains the HTML page." Where exactly in a Wordpress Genesis/Enterprise Theme file structure would I find the folder that contains the HTML page, so that I can copy the contents of the SimpleViewer gallery to the correct location? I have tried copying it in many locations, but all I am getting is the error message on my website that says "Gallery XML Not Found". What am I missing here?

I appreciate your help. Thank you!

Hi again,

Thank you again for trying to help. O.k., here's where I'm at...it's still not working, and I am sure that I am missing something here, so if you could please assist further until I can get this issue resolved quickly, I would really appreciate it!

Just to make sure we're on the same page, I am currently working on my local machine using Instant Wordpress. Therefore, my "host" right now is my own laptop. The URL for my own laptop is currently 127.0.0.1:4001/wordpress. I need to create multiple photo galleries for my client's website. Each gallery will be displayed on a different page in the website. The menu structure is as follows with a page for each of the submenu items that will hold the photos:
Photo Gallery
   Consumer
   Development
   Instrumentation
   Medical
   Green Technologies

I have so far created the first photo gallery for Consumer, using svBuilder. The gallery folder and files within the folder are stored on my local machine on the C: drive in a directory (C:/InstantWP_4.1/AEIphotos&logos/AEIPhotoGallery1/Consumer). I then went into the Instant Wordpress Dashboard, and opened the Edit Page for my Consumer Page. In the edit box within that page, I embedded the gallery code as you outlined. However, I am still unclear about what you mean when you say to "upload the gallery to the root of my web space (whose domain name in this example is www.example.com). What would be the root of my web space in the situation I am describing, and how would I upload it there?

Within my Intant Wordpress Dashboard, I have entered the following embed code as you described, but it is not working, as I am obviously missing something here:

<!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED.-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://127.0.0.1:4001/wordpress/AEIPhotos&Logos/AEIPhotoGallery1/Consumer/svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.baseURL = "http://127.0.0.1:4001/wordpress/AEIPhot … /Consumer/";
simpleviewer.ready(function () {
simpleviewer.load("sv-container", "100%", "100%", "666666", true, flashvars);
});
</script>
<div id="sv-container"></div>
<!-- END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->

Also, once I get beyond how to display the galleries within my website on my local machine, how exactly would I then move all this in tact to the web host when I want to go live? Would I have to re-do all this on the web host and relink everything, or would it automatically somehow change the URL and pathing to the correct ones?

I appreciate your quick responses! I am working on a deadline and this is really causing a problem right now. Thank you!!!

Hi!

O.k., I think we've made some progress but we're not quite there yet!

I created all of my galleries now. They are all in this file structure as described earlier:
C:/InstantWP_4.1/AEIphotos&logos/AEIPhotoGallery1/
Consumer
Development
Green Technologies
Instrumentation
Medical

I embedded the code that you had outlined in your last reply to my post. Now I can see that the background color that I have changed for my photo gallery is actually being used in the site behind the message I am getting, and instead of the error message I was getting before saying that the XML file could not be found, I now have a rectangle the color of my selected background color, with a black rectangle within that saying SIMPLEVIEWER in white, and a white rectangle below the word SIMPLEVIEWER. So! It looks like it is almost there, but not quite finding the photo gallery yet.

What am I still missing?

Also, once I get the galleries working here (cross your fingers!), what would be the process for moving this external gallery file structure to another local machine or up to the host? Would I need to recode the embedded text once I move the site to the actual host to go live, to point to a different location/src?

Thanks for working on this with me!

Yes, that's what I am thinking too...seems to know it's there, but it won't bring up the images. What do you recommend for zipping the file, and how do I send it to you? Thanks.

7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

Can you upload it to a web server and post the URL?
If not, you could use a file-sharing service like Box: http://www.box.com/
If the zip file is under 10MB, you could perhaps email it to me. I will send you an email with my email address.

Hi!

You were able to display the photo galleries as currently coded with the embedded code? On a host versus Instant Wordpress on a local machine?

I can open the gallery files and see the photos, and when I save the gallery in svBuilder, a page opens up with the gallery displayed correctly. So, does that mean that if I see it display correctly in that save window that pops up from svBuilder, then the embedded code is correct as coded, and that it just doesn't work with Instant Wordpress on a local machine? The thing is, I am also bringing my local Instant Wordpress site with the Mozilla Firefox browser and all I am getting is the rectangle I described with the word Simpleviewer.

I will. E moving the site to a host and go live soon. Are you thinking that this will only work when I move it to the host? I don't want to move it just to find out the photo galleries won't work.

What do you think? Thank you.

Hi,

O.k., so! I uploaded the photo gallery files to my host test area. I have a test host area in Wordpress called "http://nameofbusiness.com/wp-admin", and I am starting with my Consumer Photo Gallery. I uploaded the AEIPhotoGallery1 with all the subfiles for the galleries to wp-content, so the file structure is:
http://nameofbusiness.com/wp-admin/wp-c … 1/Consumer. (I am not sure if I need to include the wp-admin part or not either - do I omit that part?)

You said in your last post that you used baseURL embedding code. Is this how my embed code should be written now?

<!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED.-->
<script type="text/javascript" src ="http://nameofbusiness.com/wp-admin/wp-content/AEIPhotoGallery1/Consumer/svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.baseURL = "http://nameofbusiness.com/wp-admin-wp-c … /Consumer/";
simpleviewer.ready(function () {
simpleviewer.load("sv-container", "100%", "100%", "333333", true, flashvars;
});
</script>
<div id="sv-container"></div>
<!-- END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->

Thank you!

Please check your email. I have sent you a reply. Thank you.

Correspondence continued via email.

Please post or email me the link to the gallery in question so that I can take a look and help further.

SimpleViewer uses the same XML file to display the gallery in Fullscreen mode as it does in normal mode.
In order to have different layouts for Fullscreen and normal modes, you would have to use different XML files for each.
This is possible but not easy to achieve.
It can be done by embedding SimpleViewer-Pro into a container movie in Flash, adding an event listener to the FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN event to call a function which will load a specific gallery depending on whether fullscreen mode is entered or exited.
A sample container movie .fla file can be found in the SimpleViewer-Pro download package ('simpleviewer_pro_230\examples\flash_embed\simpleviewer_flash_embed.fla').
The relevant code for changing galleries on entering/exiting fullscreen mode can be found in this thread: http://www.simpleviewer.net/forum/viewt … p?id=13209
For reference, the 'Embedding in Flash' section of the 'Embedding SimpleViewer-Pro' page can be found here: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/pr … html#flash
