Anybody have an imagevuex gallery running on Joomla?

I know that it can run using iframe but then Google thinks it's a virus and sometimes blocks the page..

I was told this by Cust support at imagevuex _ Thanks guys for your speedy reply..

""You can embed imagevue2.swf directly into your document similar as you would embed an image file. In Joomla, you would either need to create a template page, or simply embed directly into a page through the editor. You can find an example of the code on how to embed, in README/embed_example.html

There are a few pitfalls in regards to embedding into a separate document though. First of all, since you are bypassing the default Imagevue index file, it also bypasses mobile detection and it cannot embed the mobile version into your custom page anyway ... Furthermore, since you are embedding, you must be embedding at a set width/height (unlike default imagevue which is 100% width height) ... This means the viewing area may be limited and you may need to remove or moderate certain interface elements to make it work better on a marginalised area.""

But mobile is much too important to loose.. Anybody have any ideas?

Hi its mean again, I replied the above ... Basically what you are asking for is a bit out of scope. Yes, you can easily embed imagevue into joomla ... But what about the mobile site? Your joomla site is not mobile anyway, so how do you expect to embed a mobile website into a joomla website. At best, it would work like this:

1. You embed the SWF flash into your joomla page with basic embed code.

2. You need to add a redirect javascript into the page, that simply redirects mobile browsers to the standalone imagevue mobile version. Technically, this means the mobile version will NOT be running on joomla of course ...

Sorry, I am not quite familiar with Joomla so can't give you better descriptions on how to embed it. I can provide the code to embed, but you need to find the means (template or page) to embed it. To be straight-forward, I would consider not using trying to embed into Joomla, because it adds a layer of complications and imperfections ... What is the reason you need it in Joomla anyway? Why not juste open Imagevue as a separate page (optionally in a new window or even a lightbox window), and you can even have navigation "back" to your website. Easier, uncomplicated, better viewing of images, and full integration remains intact.
