Simpleviewer module

URL-encoding the & can't "break your gallery2 installation" because it's not *in* gallery that you url-encode it. You need to use "%26" in the javascript in your webpage, not the bare & character. If you link directly to the URL in your browser to test it you need to un-encode it and use the & char again; I've tested the corrected version of your link and the module's working correctly:
http://galerie.cvjm-nuernberg.de/main.php?g2_view=simpleviewersource.XMLOut&g2_itemId=119

If you correct the syntax in your HTML/javascript and url-encode (as instructed) then it will work.

Not true; your supposition fails by demonstration. But I think that's irrelevant, actually.

Send me the url (by pm if you prefer) of the simpleviewer page which is giving the error.

Looks like you're falling foul of Adobe's cross domain xml security policy: the simpleviewer code is being loaded from one domain and the xml source is in another. See this post and the ones following for appropriate advice:

Actually ignore that link, just go here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14213

I don't understand why you'd rather install a php hack (that only works for one album) instead of putting a crossdomain.xml policy file in the right place. But hey, whatever works for you.

Is it possible to show the item description from gallery2 as the caption like on the simpleviewer low res demo?
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/examples/lores/

perfect! well...almost perfect...
it makes the line breaks into 2 line breaks...do you know a simple way to make that display correctly?

btw....im super impressed with how quick and accurate you are! TY!

so from the description field, i have:
line 1
line 2

but it renders in the slide show with an extra line break:
line 1

line 2

in XMLOut.inc:

$myDescription = $myItem->getDescription();
echo ("<image><filename>$myItemId</filename><caption>$myDescription</caption></image>\n");

edit photo page:

simpleviewer:

in the DB, i dont see any line endings....
it just shows:
Oil on Canvas
48&quot; x 36&quot;

got it!
$myDescription = str_replace("\r", "", "$myDescription");

so now i am having trouble figuring out why the title & description are not showing up on the slideshow page.
i think its this piece from album.tpl. should that be showing up?

        <div class="gbBlock gcBackground1">
          <table style="width: 100%">
            <tr>
              <td>
                {if !empty($theme.item.title)}
                <h2> {$theme.item.title|markup} </h2>
                {/if}
                {if !empty($theme.item.description)}
                <p class="giDescription">
                  {$theme.item.description|markup}
                </p>
                {/if}
              </td>
              <td style="width: 30%">
                {g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
                          item=$theme.item
                          showDate=false
                          showSize=false
                          showOwner=$theme.params.showAlbumOwner
                          class="giInfo"}
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>
        </div>

that is true, admin.tpl is outside of the simpleviewer module, its part of the matrix template. But for some reason, when going to the simpleviewer slideshow, that part of the template is no longer rendered. Is the simpleviewer module disabling it?

Hi,

I just tried out this module and I think it's quite nice, although it does not really work "out of the box" (version 0.2.6 when I tried).

I have done a few changes to the files so that it works for me. There are some bug fixes, some customization. I thought I would contribute back the patch file so that it might be useful for someone

Note that I also had to define all the simpleviewer parameters with values for my root album (could not leave them "unset") otherwise it does not work; probably some warning issued by the XMLOUT script...

You can see the result there: http://cowaddict.org/voyages/simpleview/46626

It would be nice if the "Open in new window" link from simpleviewer's right-click menu could send the user to the gallery page, not the image directly. I am not sure if it is possible though...

Bests,

Mostly "undefined index" and warnings like these... In several places actually.
Also, I had to define values for all parameters in the top album, otherwise it just does not work.

Sorry I did not keep the exact messages, but the following parts of my patch were fixes for me (in addition to defining values for all parameters).

Best regards,

Sure, no problem, as I wrote in my first message, a part of this patch is just customization for me I was just lazy to edit the patch, sorry for this!

Thank you for your quick response

Best regards

Sure, but I won't be able to do it before Monday. I'll send a status then.

thanks - fixed in revision 1730.

uninstall the module from the plugins page

How can I get the latest revision 1730? Thanks.

My dumbness. It's great to see it in the repository.

I installed this years ago and it was working great. I just re-installed it due to hardware upgrade and I had a tough time getting it to work. The problem? I used my old Simpleviewer v1.8. This version does not work. There may be a workaround but I didn't bother. Simpleviewer v1.9 works straight out of the box.

Excellent work, Alec.
