X3Photo Gallery Forums

OK. Emboldened by my recent success of finding out that my slideshow with the newest version of Imagevue was working except in one single computer, I have moved on to the next phase.

Here is the situation. I want a slideshow on my homepage. I want it to be independent of the other slideshows in the site that have controls and navigation. This slideshow should just flip pictures with no user input.

I know that in order to do this, I need to set up a whole new copy of the gallery folder (with a new name) in the root directory and address that gallery when I call the slideshow to appear. I have set up the new folder, lets call it "gallery-home" and populated it with a folder of images which it successfully uploaded.

Here's the problem. When I go to see the result, by clicking on the Flash link in the upper right of the imagevue editor, all I get is a black screen with a spinning circle of dots (which is, I guess, the "wait-while-I-load" indicator). The same thing happens when I try to see it embedded in a page. All I get is a black box in the middle with a spinning circle of white dots. When I click on the HTML link, all I see is an icon of the folder.

So far, I and my web guy have tried the following:

1. completely re-loaded the folder from the original
2. check all diagnostics
3. set all directories to 777
4. checked the php info for eAccelerator (I don't see it)

We are stuck. Is this a common problem? What are we missing?

Here are the pages in the test URL before they go live to the world...

Help???

Hi again softones!

The site is currently in a test server belonging to my webdeveloper until it is ready to go live on my url.

The web guy has been over the addresses again and again but to no avail. "Themes" must be a folder on that server.

I do not think this is a cache issue as it is happening on a number of different computers (including apparently yours) and no-one has seen it working on any of them, or in alternate browsers. I cleared the Imagevue internal cache.

Shouldn't the program's internal viewer from the gallery page be able to find the gallery, though? It can't either. That was the link I posted. It should be automatic shouldn't it? That was where I got the link to embed on the page too.

OK, thanks, but we've burned loads of hours trying to debug this. At this point I need a fix. Mjau-Mjau????

That still shouldn't prevent it from working INTERNALLY, in the Imagevue panel, should it?

The addressing in the source code of the main page appears consistent in that directory name.

since the themes folder in Imagevue rewsides inside the gallery-home folder, there should be no reason for confusion on the program's part as it shouldn't be looking outside gallery-home for the themes info.

suggestions???

Excellent. A new theme based on a working one did the trick. It's good to go.

Thank you both for your input.
