Hi All
Has anybody used the program - VisualLightBox - to make a photo gallery within Freeway. If so did you have any problems, or is there a better way of doing it??

I hadn’t but I have now! http://www.deltadesign.co/odds/vlb.html
Pretty easy to use in FW
Publish the gallery which creates a web page for you and associated data and engine folders.
Copy the code from the HTML doc in 2 parts. The section in the HEAD gets copied and pasted into your FW page as Page>HTML Markup and put in before end HEAD
The code from the body is copied and pasted into a Markup item. Insert>Markup item (then paste in)
This creates a 100px square box on your FW page which you can move about and resize.
Upload the pages to the server and then using an FTP app upload the data and engine folders that VLB created so that they are alongside your web page. (You could change the code/paths in the Markup to point to a single folder for all your images and js files if you wanted)
Done!

Hi David
Thanks for your reply. After I posted last night, I did have a play around with it. My problem is that I need a program, like a CMS where my partner can upload her photos as well as me. The only problem I have is that she uses Windows XP Pro. So what I’m looking for is a CMS type program.
Anyway, thanks for your quick reply.

Pulse (http://pulsecms.com/) has a simple gallery feature that should
do what you want.

Tim.

Hi Tim
I’ve looked at that CMS and the only problem with that one is it’s sizeing of the images. I can get the images under the 200K limit but when I view them they are a little to small, as I would like something a little larger. That’s my problem.
Thanks for your reply.

Actually you can upload larger images to Pulse.
Certainly I’ve done so for my blog. Of course you’ll have to remember the amount of storage space being used.

Hi Seoras
Have just tryed to upload a larger file, 336k but got this error message: ‘Invalid file: 200K max size and JPG, GIF, PNG only’
How do you do it. I’m trying this out on Pulse Pro v1.4.3.

Hi Lee,
If you want to walk on the wild side then the file size limit is set
in includes/upload-img.php
Mine is currently set to 160K;
if(($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 160000) &&
160K is quite a sizable image so maybe have a play in Photoshop and
see if you can optimize your images before upload.
Regards,
Tim.

How do you do it.
In image properties click on ‘Browse Server’ this will open a ‘Resouces browser’ that will allow you to search your computer and upload a file.
As Tim pointed out 160kb is quite sizeable and I only uploaded larger by mistake, exporting out from Lightroom at 72dpi does not a small file make.
I’m now keeping my blog pics to a similar size of usually 350px wide (horizontal format so not greater in depth) and these are circa 35Kb.
Mark at Pulse is very helpful and I’m sure will guide you better than I.

Hi Tim
It’s not so much the size of the file which is uploaded but the size of the image when viewed. I wish there was an option to change the size of the image.

Hi All
Mark has been very helpful indeed. Have sorted out the problem. Just edited gal-preview.php and gallery.php to the sizes that I want.
We will see how it goes.
Once again, thanks to all for your help.
