X3Photo Gallery Forums

I guess we haven't taken into consideration users moving their gallery around on server ... If you do, it is important to also copy the "user" files in the /imagevue/config/, which are basically the changes you made to theme and config from admin.

Some files are probably lost when moving gallery around, do you have url to check? And admin l/p please.

When I choose CARBON from my admin screen and choose TRY it launches a browser with the loading circle thingy but goes no further, are there any instruction you can point me to for V2 to apply the themes ? Thanks

You are speaking of an Imagevue V1 template called "carbon" ... You can't use that for Imagevue X2. All the themes for X2 are already included in the download.

Hello mjau-mjau,
just saw your comment on V1 - seems I had similiar difficulties as sbuk73 to read your web site correctly ---
On page www.photo.gallery/imagevue/templates/ the documentation goes: The templates below are all provided in the latest Imagevue download, but may also be downloaded directly from the links below. One of these is the below mentioned "Carbon" template. No note about it only working with the V1 Gallery...
On page www.photo.gallery/support/templates/ it goes: To use the Imagevue- and Slideshow templates, you must first make sure you are using a version of Imagevue downloaded after 5. February 2007 (such as X2 from 08-12-23). If you have an earlier version, please get your latest release in the downloads section before you proceed with templates.....Templates are provided along with the latest release, but if you for some reason need to download templates independently, please goto the templates section. Again, no hint about it only working with the V1 Gallery...
Sorry to say that guys, but with this kind of documentation you provoke lots of useless comments in the forum and unneccessary work on your side answering stupid questions like mine (see viewtopic.php?t=4534)

However, I still think you guys do an awesome job!

We're trying to update and improve documentation, but this is how far we got at the moment.

I think next docs should be wiki-based with easy navigation that just goes deeper and expand topics.

I would also include that we are now rebuilding our website because there is currently an incompatible mix of V1 and X2. New site will be mainly X2 focused, while V1 will be consolidated to a separate area.
