Integration

27 Feb 2011, 15:06

Hi

I acquired recently Imagevue for my home server
The purpose is to integrate it in a CMS-like website, the would hava two main areas, one for my family, other for my friends.
I decided in buying Imagevue, because of its features, but now I have to choose the right cms, and it's here where I'm having some trouble..

Can any one advice me of an cms system (opensource or not opensource), that is able to embed the imagevue in it ?

Thanks

I am really only familiar with Wordpress and a little Joomla, and you can integrate Imagevue into both of them.

Integration of Imagevue into a CMS is pretty straight-forward - In wordpress, you simply need to create a new template of the theme you are using, and then embed the "imagevue2.swf" file as it is embedded in the provided example "embedDemo.html".

Imagevue is created by default to take 100% of users screen width and height, so if you are going to embed imagevue SWF into a smaller set width and height, there are a few things you should consider:

# You should give the SWF as much width and height as possible, within your template limitations of course

# After embedding Imagevue, you should edit the settings so it looks better within a smaller area embedded in wordpress. For example, minimize the margin around thumbnails and image, and perhaps remove some unnecessary interface elements.
