[litup]

Hi rphMedia,

What would I have to change in order to play this on a page outside of my coppermine root folder? 

Thanks,
Bryan

Bryan, I think that this would be beyond the scope of the mod as the php file is relying on the CPG structure.  Why would you want to move it off the root?  Just curious.

You could leave everything in the root, then simply point to the flash file(s) from anywhere, but to move the subject files off the root would take some major modifications.

Hi rphMedia,

Sorry if my post was misleading, all I want to do is place the image scroller on my hompage as a preview of my gallery.  I have tried "pointing"to the .swf but I have not been able to get it working.  Also, I am not using main.swf, only thumbvert.swf.  I tried to use creatingslideshows.com as an example for my code (flash/main.swf) but no luck. I am completely new to flash  

Thanks,
Bryan

Well, this would be so much easier if I had a link.  Your original link you provided via PM no longer works...well, it works, but now I'm "forbidden".

Anyway, let's say that your flash file and php file are at

www.yourdomain.com/copper/thumbvert.swf
www.yourdomain.com/copper/flashthumb.php

And let's also say that you want to put the scroller at

www.yourdomain.com/

For the flash code, all you have to do is find the two places where the flash files get referenced.

<param name="movie" value="copper/thumbvert.swf">

AND for the embed tag

<embed src="copper/thumbvert.swf" ...

Easy stuff.  Try to not make it so hard

I can execute the thumbvert.swf from your site, so you're almost there.

Hi Ron,

Ok if I call you Ron?  Sorry for not providing the links, here they are :

http://www.litehiker.com/copper/index.htm ( inside root works fine)

http://www.litehiker.com/test.htm (outside root, does not work)

As you can see I have pointed the file to copper/thumbvert.swf just like you said (this is the way I have had it from the beginning) but it just doesn't want to work.  I felt like I was going crazy..  It just doesn't make sense.

Try this file.  I changed the path to the php file to absolute. Let me know if it works for you.  If not, I have other tricks.

Hi Ron,

It's still not working.  I made sure to clear the cache and all that jazz.  Also I disabled hotlinking protection just to see, no difference.  Here is a page with nothing else besides the flash:

I really do appreciate your helping me.

OK, then here's the next deal. I have it working here -

*removed old link

probably not the look you're going for, but it's a start.  View the source and implement that to your site.  The Flash ActiveX is probably performing as designed, in other words, it's for security.  But, the iFrame is safe as the flash is still being scripted at the original site. Play around with that code and let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Ron,

That works fine, check it out:

http://www.litehiker.com/test2.html

I've never used Iframes, any compatibility issues I should be aware of?

[rphMedia]

Not that I'm aware of.  I know that search engines/bots hate frames, but other than that, it's just another holder for different items.  I'm sure you can take it from here.  You can put that iFrame whereever you want; even make it transarent, but that's another tutor course

There are issues with older non-Microsoft browsers and iframe usage (basically Netscape Navigator 4.x), but it's widely agrreed that you don't have to mind anymore - users with NN4.x know their browser s**ks - 90% of all current websites is not being displayed properly for them...

Hi Joachim,

Thanks for the info

I'm an avid user of coppermine, and this mod is a unique example of how to be creative within a small space.  Many times the problems are listed here, but I have to say that this works so easily and seamlesslly.....that it is just a joy to use!

Thanks Steve, appreciate that.  BTW, where's your site; I always like to see it "in action".  If you don't want to post it public, PM me

[StephanieM]

So cool! Thanks for this!

Hello,

great mod. I'm using the 600x190 px without Filmstrip.

Little Prob: My Thumbs are limited to 100px longest side.

Is there a chance to get the swf , so the thumbs bitter fit, maybe 450x120px centered?

Thanks Don

I am extremely new to coppermine and hacking it. I do not understand how to incorporate this into my gallery. Is ther a better tutorial on this anywhere?

I have uploaded the files from the "flashthumb.zip" file and add the code from the first page of this thread. The thing I do not know how to do is get the film strip on my page.

the link to my site is http://www.a2zcomputer.biz/gallery/

Thanks in advance...
