Photo Gallery Forums

I have four distinct galleries that I would like to display separately on my site. I want the menu for each gallery to be completely separate from the menus of the other galleries. Is there a way to do this using different config files? The only thing that would be different across the galleries would be the content folder. Everything else would be the same.

I am not seeing how I would use the admin interface to do something like this. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks
Alex

I just answered this by e-mail, but let me copy the reply here also ...

You can run multiple galleries in Imagevue from the same admin. You could run them like this:
yourgallery/?contentfolder=content/gallery1/
yourgallery/?contentfolder=content/gallery2/
yourgallery/?contentfolder=content/gallery3/
yourgallery/?contentfolder=content/gallery4/

Each gallery would look inside the specific folder(for subfolders) to create the menu with content. If you don't want URLs like this, you could simply create *.html files where the "contentfolder" parameter is hardcoded in the document. You cannot currently use different CONFIG files, and this would most likely be overkill for your setup anyway ...

PS! As of right now, I think there is a flaw with the latest release that it doesn't accept the "contentfolder" parameter, but this is something we would be fixing immediately ...

Thanks Karl! I eagerly await the fix on the 20th

This should be fixed already, and available in download (silent release)

sweet... thanks Karl... will load it tonight!

does Useswfaddress need to be enabled for this to work?

No. Is it not working? Did you upgrade?

I did upgrade... can't seem to get it to work

Can I take a look please?

absolutely Pain...

what additional info do you need?

Works here:
http://www.merelyafleshwound.com/galler ... adventure/

This functionality won't work with your iframe though. These special parameters through URL need to be passed to the Imagevue index.php which processes it ...

Karl...

While this url plays a slideshow it is playing the content from the content/slideshow folder... not the content/adventure folder as specified.

It appears to be playing the folder that is specified in the startpath

I think you misunderstood the concept ... In the original request, we were discussing how to make the content of your MENU different. In the link I gave, you can see it is different, because it targets the folder content/adventure/ as the root for the menu. You could extend upon this by creating your own gallery sections, and having separate content in the menu for each of your galleries. It does NOT change the startpath you have in your main settings (why would it?)

I mean, if we were talking about how to target different startpath content, that is something entirely different and simply solved by using the startpath parameter:

you are right Karl... initially I was thinking I would have a site menu of my own that would call different content folders... however... it turns out that using the menu you created with X2 is far better than the approach I was initially thinking I would implement.... nice job!

the startpath parameter fully meets my needs... stoked!
