Photo Gallery Forums

Im about to buy a licence to the software, but on my site I want to remove the flash aspects and just keep to the HTML version of the gallery. I will use the flash version at one point, but at this second I just need the HTML version.

Can someone please tell me how I can remove the flash files so I am just left with the HTML gallery.

Thank you.

P.S Does the HTML gallery come with an AdminCP and does it need to be installed?

Both gallerys are managed from the single admin interface, what you need to do - just change Settings > defaultPage to html and you will have html gallery by default.

If you want total erradication of flash I can give you some more tips on hacking files but I think just using this setting is enough.

Hi. Thank you for the reply.

It's quite important for me that the flash version isn't able to be accessed. Rather than just blocking the flash files I'd prefer to remove them.

Any tips on how this could be done would be much appreciated.

well, to be 100% sure the flash gallery doesnt appear in any state whatsoever, you can delete the file in your gallery: imagevue/imagevue2.swf

If you ever want to use the flash gallery again, just re-upload this file.

Is there not a lot of bulk overhead in the files that wouldnt be needed if Im not using the flash version however?

Not really ... Remove the SWF, and you are left with a range of php files and other scripta that support the entire system cascading between the html-, flash and admin. You may be able to remove one or other odd *js or *php files, but its not worth it. Imagevue is only a couple of megabyte in total anyway, and unused files would not load for the user.
