Ok... let me try and frame my problem....

1. I am using the following url to pull up a slideshow:
http://kristi.merelyafleshwound.com/kri ... t-page.htm

2. The slideshowimagevueconfig file I am using is:
kristi-front-page-slideshowimagevueconfig.ini

3. The site menu file I am using is:
kristi-front-page-sitemenu.ini

I can't seem to get the site menu to appear.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Alex

http://kristi.merelyafleshwound.com/kri ... config.ini

In your configfile, you have referred the sitemenu setting twice.

sitemenu = kristi-sitemenu.ini

sitemenu = true

You seem to have this in several of your config files...

Yeah... I noticed that and wasn't quite sure why they were there twice.

In any case I removed one of them and kept

sitemenu = kristi-front-page-sitemenu.ini

The site menu is still not displaying.

The files in play are...

1. I am using the following url to pull up a slideshow:
http://kristi.merelyafleshwound.com/kri ... t-page.htm

the swf I am referencing in this file is slideshow.swf

2. The slideshowimagevueconfig file I am using is:
kristi-front-page-slideshowimagevueconfig.ini

3. The site menu file I am using is:
kristi-front-page-sitemenu.ini

Can you get the sitemenu working at all any place in your site?

In your sitemenu.ini, please use "quotes" to surround values. You need not do this on all values, but do it on values with special characters or entries like <tags> and ::.

Yes... I can get the site menu to work... an example is at

I meant for your slideshow, which is obviously where you are trying to add the sitemenu ...

Karl...

I took out all of the tags and special characters and the menu still does not appear. Is the problem that I am referencing slideshow.swf in my html instead of imagevuex.swf ?

No, but I am trying to get to the bottom of this. I can see you have done lots of moderations here and there, and I dont really know where else. After debugging your site, it occurred to me that its not only this specific instance of the slideshow that can not pull up a sitemenu, but your standard slideshow seems to not be able to bring up a sitmenu also. Thats why I ask if you can get sitemenu workinag at all on your site for the slideshow?

Any default slideshow we provide would be able to run the sitemenu the following way: https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slide ... temenu.ini.

Lets concetrate on that, and nevermind yuor specific instance. I see some other abnormal stuff going on, and I cant immediately pinpoint what has been changed behind the scenes.

Karl...

Now that you mention it... I can not get the site menu working for the slide show on my site.

Here is my example url

http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/imagev ... temenu.ini

I took a look at the HTML source for the following URL:
http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/imagev ... temenu.ini

Which gave me the following:
<DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta>
<script></script>
<script></script>
<style>
<body>
</style>
</head>

<body>

<div id="slideshow">
www.photo.gallery slideshow module
</div>
<script>
var so = new SWFObject("slideshow.swf", "slideshow", "100%", "100%", "7", "#c0c0c0");
so.addVariable("globalpath", "");
so.addVariable("textcol", "666666");
so.addVariable("configfile", "slideshowconfig.ini");
so.addVariable("sitemenu","kristi-sitemenu.ini"); so.write("slideshow");
</script>

</body>
</html>

So from that I gathered that you are using slideshowconfig.ini with your gallery, and I pulled that up and took a look by browsing to http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/imagev ... config.ini.

Perhaps you need to change this parameter in the slideshow.ini file

sitemenu = false

to

sitemenu = kristi-sitemenu.ini

?

Can you make sure you have the latest slideshow.swf? Can you also place the default sitemenu.ini and slideshowconfig.ini on your site?

alexhenes · 27 Oct 2006, 14:36

Karl...

I verified that I have the latest slideshow.swf.

When I loaded the default sitemenu.ini file. The default imageveux site menu displays in my slideshow. If I rename the default sitemenu.ini file to say... kristi-front-page-sitemenu.ini ... the site menu does not appear in my slideshow.

I did not load the default slideshowconfig.ini because I have customized this file for a different slideshow I have on www.merelyafleshwound.com

I hope this helps. It looks to me like "sitemenu.ini" might be hardcoded somewhere?

Thanks
Alex

Any word on this one?

Im still trying to find any form of sitemenu working on any slideshow of yours. Are you saying sitemenu never worked for your slideshows? If it does, pelase verify and send a link.

alexhenes · 02 Nov 2006, 00:09

http://kristi.merelyafleshwound.com has a slideshow with a site menu. I would like to use a different file name than sitemenu.ini however the only site menu config file that the slideshow module will recognize is one that is named "sitemenu.ini"
