Photo Gallery Forums

Let's start with the URL: http://www.boomtastic.com/gallery.php

My problem is with descriptions. I can't seem to get them setup so that they show - anywhere. I am sure that I have something wrong in one of the 3 different .INI files, but I can't figure out which one or where. Right now I get no descriptions at all. I'd like for them to show on the picture when you click the icon on the right side and expand it. The tooltip is another issue - mine's blank. I can't get rid of it, or get text into it.

Lastly, how is everyone testing their changes? I upload my new .INI files and test (in IE7) and still see the same thing (no changes). Are you all clearing the cache between every change? Closing the window and reopening it? Whatever I am doing here just isn't working I guess.

Test change your config file /gallery/slideshowimagevueconfig.ini
In [CONTROLS] section modify parameter from
imagepopinfo = 1,1,1,1,1,1,1 to
imagepopinfo = name,action,
or, if you want to delete popinfo, use
imagepopinfo = false.

The changes should come into effect immediately after you upload the modified configuration file(s). Make sure you are changing the right config file - Keep in mind that if you are using a template, you must edit the config files under the specified template folder... Some users have tripped on that mistake earlier -

Nomadic - that worked perfectly, thank you! (And it also shows that I need to tighten security on my site, since the link brought you right into my INI file! )

Mjau-mjau - I would have thought that too, but changes I make to the site (uploading changed files or new photos) outside of the admin interface tend to take a while to show up. Everything else I do in my website works normally. Could it be because of the way I embedded the gallery into my site? I know that email from the gallery doesn't work because of the SWF within the SWF.

Boomtastic - to restrict access to your <ini> and <as> files append the following code to the .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .(ini|as)$ - [F]

Nomadic - I take it that a simple .htaccess file isn't sufficient? I didn't have one in my directories before, but do now. I haven't heard of adding anything like this to it. Also I am going to guess that the 2nd line is a typo? ("u" really "i" maybe?)

Oh, sorry...
It's fully completed .htaccess (properly work on Linux hosting, not IIS):
Read the .htaccess and mod_rewrite manuals:
