Hi there
I finally installed Warp and download the ImageVue x2.7 trial. I put it in Warp and I 've the gallery demo online in local.
Now...... :oops: :oops: :( :? I have no idea where I have to go to access the admin panel and to see all the parameters (color, text, border, language, dimension etc).
I'm following the online documentation, but it seems that the access to the admin panel is implicit..... or I'm more stupid than I thought.
It's about an hour than I'm searching for a solution with no success: please HELPPPPPP
Thanks in advance

Find the iv-admin folder and start the index.php that's located in it:

URL...../iv-admin/index.php

Yes I've checked all there, but there I don't find how to enter in admin panel. Only when I was inhttps://www.photo.gallery/documentation/login-page/ I've understood how to enter in this panel
Your Control Panel
{yourdomain}/{galleryfolder}/iv-admin/
{yourdomain}/iv-admin/

But I did not go far :oops:
Has the trial version the same features as the retail one?
I'm working for now at the start page, after creating a new thema. Starting from the start page (in folder start) I'm tryng to setup my parameters, but I don't find where I have to go tu change the color for the frame or for the text (also the spacing in the text line) .

If I would take the entire folder of my album (with sub folders etc) and put it in the folder "content" of Imagevue, after having wiped off all the example's folders, (leaving the mp3 folder and the contact ?), would I have the final result of my album (btw still with the old theme)?
And when I'll want to customize colors, text and so on, where will I to go?
Sorry for my bad english, :oops: :oops: and thanks to everyone

Are you saying that /iv-admin/ does not work, but /iv-admin/index.php does? If so, there is as issue with your server hosting, and they need to set index.php to also act as index files for folders.

Hi Karl and thank you for the patience .....
The situation is so:
if I digit
Code
http://localhost/ImageVue/#/content/start/
I can enter in my gallery but I cannot enter in the admin mode and I'm not able to change anything. From there I don't have any possibility to enter in admin panel (no link with login or button)
The local server on Warp is
Code
C:\wamp\www\ImageVue
and here I have all the original folder of the trial ImageVue.
I've tried this morning to login (in local) in the admin panel, with
Code
http://localhost/www/imagevue/iv-admin.com/index.php
and the reply was
The connection was reset . The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
So I tried with
Code
http://localhost/iv-admin/index.php
401 NOT FOUND (obviously)

With
Code
http://localhost/ImageVue/iv-admin/
I can access the admin panel and also with
Code
http://localhost/ImageVue/iv-admin/index.php
.

So I think that the server is correct.

But my
1* question is about where I've to go to change color for the font, or the background color for the gallery menu and so on. I cannot find where they are :(
2* question: If I enter in my gallery with
Code
http://localhost/ImageVue/#/content/start/
before logging in the ad panel, from there can I access the ad panel?
3* question Another thing I cannot correct is the only Exclamation mark I have in the Ad panel related to the Exif.
EXIF EXIF is a PHP extension required by Imagevue X2 to display EXIF data from photos. EXIF data is generally information about a photo stored directly in the file, most often created by the camera. It can be camera info, data as well as keywords and description. The EXIF PHP extension is usually enabled on most professional PHP server. If your server does not have this extension enabled, EXIF data from photos will not display.
I have already activated in Wamp server>PHP>PHP estension the php_exif, but the problem is still there.
4* question : When I'm in the start page or in other page, I cannot find how to go in the supeior page or in the main page. I mean.... I cannot see any visible path to change the directory without using the gallery menu.
In my previous album I had 2 different way to achieve this: one with a clickable path over the pictures or clicking on the middle of the pictures (And I could set this click for different path). Where can I find something similar?
Hoping to be less stupid in the future, :oops: :oops: :? :?
Thanks in advance
Lio

1 - In your admin, don't you have a button at the top called "themes"? This is where you edit backgrounds, colors, text styles (with CSS) etc.
https://www.photo.gallery/documentation/edit-themes/
https://www.photo.gallery/documentation/cssreference/

2 - What do you mean? You go to your admin panel by typing in the link to your admin panel ... You did access the admin panel didn't you? You cannot access your admin from your gallery front page (unless you are already logged in). Why? Because we don't want a "login" button displayed to everyone who sees the gallery, as this would just clutter the interface.

3 - EXIF is for displaying photo metadata like exposure, ISO etc ... If you don't need this, then it doesn't matter. This should be enabled on your actual public server anyway, if you need it.

4 - Not sure what you mean. You want to go back to your "home" page? Then just unhide the "start" folder ... Other than this, there are no clickable breadcrumbs in Imagevue so to keep the interface clean, and the menu is always accessible anyway.

I for sure need to have the exif file visible if people want to see it. I've enabled it here in local but it is not showed and the exclamation mark is still there.
So, do you think that is a problem because od I'm working in local with Wamp? It seems to me very strange and for sure I would like to have all the exif online with my pics.

Thanks again

Well, all I can say is that if the warning is displaying, then you did not successfully enable the EXIF extension in your PHP server. Did you re-start server after enabling it? Did you enter path correctly? This is a bit outside what we can check, but EXIF is not enabled on your server ...

When you upload it to server, it will be ...

Hello Karl, thanks a lot for your patience :)
All I can tell is that I put a check in the extension as you can see by my screenshot.
Image
I don't know if this is enough to have my Exif file visible.
For sure on my reduced pics I have the exif files and I can see it on Seven or on other album (both Html and flash), but as I told, I'm not a "guru" :$
I'm only a photographer and a Photoshop user, I know a little bit about dreamwear (enough to build my website ....) but I don't have any knowledge on programming or real html .
I have for sure restarted the server, I'm use to do that every time I change something (like when I install something on my PC, I restart the PC). And for this
Did you enter path correctly?
I did not have anything similar to do: I only put a check on that list ..... :oops: :oops:
What have I to do?

Well, I'd love to check it, but unfortunately I can't since its on your localhost. Why not just wait until you are going to upload to production server for this feature? ... do you need to display it on localhost? Although Imagevue supports EXIF, we are not experts with servers ourselves, so I can't remote-diagnose this ...

You still have the EXIF warning in your admin? This means Imagevue sees your EXIF as disabled ...

Hello,
I've found the solution for the exif display and I want to share for those who may have the same problem.
I found the answer in the Wamp forum.

I have had to modify the file php.ini:
Open php.ini and edit to load php_mbstring.dll extention before php_exif.dll; restart wamp and try again
And now the exif file is present.

But ..... where I can choose the items I want to be visible (I see that now sometimes in place of the camera brand there is my nick name) and often I see the data, but not the real data but the modification data so I prefer to select only some items to show.
And I would like to set a semi transparent background for this data.(as in your example HERE or a little bit grey)
Thanks again

Did you check through documentation before you ask?

This is also done through your theme, if you go to image.text.text2 ... You can find help on editing your theme in the documentation page linked above.

Yes, I've worked on it for a couple of hours with no result, so I thought I did something wrong.
I change the php file for the exif but still the data are wrong as you can see here in the screenshot.
The brand is Canon and not Bear, the software is PS CS5 and so on. I've unchecked all the other destorted option, but the problem is still in the basic information.

I'm still trying there, in edit mode, Setting >> Image >> text2 (in text1 I didn't check the exif), but there I cannot change opacity.

By the way, I would like to understand what are the 3 text (text1 text2 text3).

Another thing I don't find :oops: :oops: Where are the "image transition" ? The only one Isee is in the start page and only there with the "blind" effect.
Thanks again

:oops: :oops: I'm really stupid :( I've just seen that I was in the wrong panel for setup the transparency. I'm now in edit Theme and I think to be able to solve the transparency problem :oops: :oops:
