SimpleViewer Flash Image Gallery

[fsuk]

Nice looking module. This is v.95 of SimpleViewer. I see that SimpleViewer is now at v2.0.3. Is there a way to update this module to the latest version? or does the newest version need to be adapted/re-ported to Baker?

Michael

The version number is not the version number of simpleviewer but the version number of the module

[fsuk]

OK, so I took the bait...

Is it possible to embed the SV PRO adjustments in this version?

[fsuk]

You will have to manually edit the gallery.xml file (found in the folder with your images) after each time you build the gallery. Or you could hard code the options into the build script eg:

save.php ~Line: 564 After:

Code:

    foreach ($options->svOptions as $optName => $optValue)
    {
      $xmlOptions = $xmlOptions .= ' '.$optName.'="'.$optValue.'"';
    }

Add:

Code:

$xmlOptions = $xmlOptions .= ' autoPlayOnLoad="TRUE"';

(Make sure to leave a space before the option)


A list of options can be found here: http://www.simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/pro/support/pro_options.html

Please note as I have not purchased pro myself this method is untested and so there may be unforseen problems and I recomend you test this in a development enviroment first

I'm updating an art gallery - the artist wants me to insert a green or a red button in the captions for the pictures to signify if they're sold or not.

Is that doable?

[fsuk]

Sorry don't think so.

[ImproveIT]

It just seemed like it might work with some html code in there -see fx http://www.simpleviewer.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=10767

[fsuk]

You are welcome to try it. However it should be noted that all captions have to be added manually to the .xml file after build.

[ImproveIT]

I did try it, and it just says "unable to parse XML code"

Thats why I'm here
Any ideas?

The caption added is like this:

<caption>
Udsigt over Grund i Luxembourg.


Billedinfo:

Sted      Luxembourg

</caption>

In general the caption area should be able to use HTML, right?

Like bold, etc.

Hi Simpleviewer

1 request: Could anyone tell me if I could somehow raise the position of the thumbs in full screen view so that theres more room for caption text below?

[mylesk42]

Hello,
I'm wondering if it is possible to add a text (or a caption) to be put under each thumb image when the big is displayed (I talk about the Simple Viewer module).

Regards

[fsuk]

You will need to manually edit the xml file after each build. See the simpleviewer documentation for more details

New version which has support for non flash browsers

[MarkPrima]

I recently installed WB and SimpleViewer.

However when I am in the Admin section and want to modify the Gallery Style, it always defaults to Modern - if I choose 'Compact' and hit save it will put 'Modern as the Gallery style?

Am I missing something? Permissions?
Isn't Compact supposed to look like this - http://www.simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/examples/compact/?

Also I cannot make the photos any latger?

My test gallery - http://cms.ssmarts.org/pages/

Thanks

This is a known bug, I just haven't the time to fix it right now.

[MarkPrima]

Are other people using it?
This seems to be a major issue - I would think?
I guess one can edit the XML file?

Can the pro version be used?

Let me know when you fix the bugs.

In general it's a very nice idea to put simpleviewer into a WebsiteBaker module. Thanks for the work, dude.

Yet, there are bugs that really need fixing. First of all, changing the gallery style isn't applied. I've tested this thoroughly with different browsers and without cache, of course. Other attributes aren't applied either, e.g. thumb position or after changing the number of thumbnail cols the page displays "cannot parse gallery xml" instead of the gallery. I know SimpleViewer a bit and this message is displayed when there are errors in the xml file. Thus the module script works somehow wrong when saving.

I discovered a number of other nuisances, but the routines may be the same.

Cheers

Hello
Do you have plans for implementing the possibility to add/edit the photo captions?
should be great if it had that ability.
