Standalone Gallery

Hi, I purchased Imagevuex to use it as a private photo album hosted on the net but available for my family & friends. Now, Imagevuex 16 was working fine as a standalone but, imagevuex 17 doesn't work. I upgraded to 17 the images are blown up to its full size but in 16 it was just a one size window. Anyway, 17 shows the thumbs but when the thumbs are being clicked on, the screen just goes grey (thats my bg color).

Here's my code:
Code
[GALLERY]

;

globalpath = false
contentfolder = false
singlelevel = false
folder = false
directimage = false

serverextension = php
slideshowpopupconfig = slideshowpopupconfig.ini
slideshowimagevueconfig = slideshowimagevueconfig.ini
sitemenu = false
configfile = 
popped =

[END]
The only thing that I've edited in the imagevuex.fla file is unquoted the globalpath and put the full url to my album. Anything wrong or is there a bug as a stand alone?

bump!
Anyone going to answer my query? Or support is not included when you purchase imagevuex instead of downloading it for free on the net?

I think when you say "standalone", you mean you want the images to display in the same fashion as they used to display in earlier versions? Eg. Directly in the gallery image area with the imagescroller...

Yes, you can do that - In config.ini please set:
Code
thumbopenwin = false
Its by default set to "slideshow" in the latest release as to support the new sldieshow integration. By setting it to "false", it will work like back in the good old days. Try it =)

Check this link for example: https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/?thumbopenwin=false

what i meant by a standalone is a flash .exe file that can be opened on any pc thus the user doesn't have to open the browser and type in the link. The standalone connects to the server and fethes the config file & the lang file. This was an extremely useful feature for me. The thing that bothered me a bit in 16 was that the picture had to be specific size to fit inside the display part, and if bigger, one had to use the navigation bar and go up and down or use I had to use motion (a bit annoying). 17 was a big improvement, in 17 the display part actually automatically resizes to fit the image size. Ive updated my site to 17 and if I browse the album using a browser, it works flawlessly. However, I tried modifying the fla file (just the config.ini url) and then published the file as an exe and the album is not functional. The good thing is that the old (16) exe files are still functional with the album, that can be understood because the main principle is thesame, and as you could probably expect, the display field does not resize(that is because 16 fla file was used). So how can this be fixed? :twisted:

You seem to know what you are talking about -

The reason why standalone exe was discontinued is because I havent been able to test it or try it out along with the slideshow display combination. We are now looking forward to a new V2 of Imagevue coming next year, and we will shortly after be releasing true standalone desktop versions. I never had the impression that many users enjoyed the "pseudo"-standalone version we had from 16.

I presume your attempt to create an EXE file from v17 would work fine, aslong as you set the config to not open images through the slideshow module.

If thats the only cfg that has to be fixed in config file + the modification of the source (FLA to be directed towards the photoalbum) then the album unfortunatey doesn't work. :(

I run the Imagevue directly from my authoring in flash, so it does work. It still requires a standalone.ini which is set correctly, and only if the new slideshow view is disabled.

can this be done without the ini file?
this was possible with the previous version.
Could you please tell me what lines do i have to edit in the flash file? Thanks!
