mm, close but no sigar.

Using the above fix, shows the pictures verry nice, but i Dont see a "next" or "previous" button. Looks like the slidebox does’nt know where to find these picture-buttons i guess??

hmm, good point! Could you try to test the following; edit functions.php and..

change line 421 from:

	$slidebox_script_str = "<script type=\"text/javascript\">var xml_url = 'assets/galleries/".$modx->documentIdentifier."/gallery.xml';</script>";

to:

	$slidebox_script_str = "<script type=\"text/javascript\">var xml_url = '" . $modx->config['site_url'] . "assets/galleries/".$modx->documentIdentifier."/gallery.xml';</script>";

Thanks verry much for the quick reply. You are my hero of the day, this works!!
Just one little hickup, it doesn’t show the little ’X’ to close the slideshow. I dont know how to fix this.

Maybe this would be a sollution for a future release.
Thanks verry much, the community makes MODx even better!!

Today implementend MaxiGallery on our site. Without much in-depth knowledge of Modx, wanted to get MaxiGallery working from cache to make page loading faster. Solution was quite easy:

Created this Chunk called "MaxiGalleryWFS"

<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td>[[MaxiGallery? &pic_use_watermark=`1` &pic_watermark_type `text` &pic_watermark_txt=`(c) copyright  2006` &pic_watermark_font=`1` &pic_watermark_txt_color=`333333` &pics_in_a_row=`50` &max_thumb_size=`80` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1` &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`lightboxv2` &keep_bigimg=`1` &big_img_linkstyle=`popup` ]]
</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Then in template we added:

  <div id="pictBar">
{{MaxiGalleryWFS}}
  </div>

With the DIV:

#pictBar{
	width: 100%;
	height: 137px;
	color: #cccccc;
	clear: both;
	background-color: #fff;
	background-image: url(images/L20_slide.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-position: bottom left;
	overflow: auto; 
	padding: 0px;
}

All seems to work nicely with cache enabled for faster page loads and less database hits.

Only thing is that before/after loading the page while logged into the Manager, cache has to be flushed for that page. When working on a life-site it makes sense to temporarily set the cache off untill page is updated and then on again when finished to increase performance.

hi-

I thought I’d comment on an issue in the MaxiGallery output that causes it to fail W3C validation. I think it’s more of a typo than a bug.

title=\"".htmlentities(stripslashes($pic[’ ...

You cannot put a or or inside an an attribute. In this case adding html tags inside the title attribute of <a> tag. I removed the , & tags that were nested within the title attribute in the MaxiGallery snippet, now I only get one validation error instead of many.

How about a Thickbox (http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/) version? I have created my own, but since I first stripped out all the other stuff I didn’t need and added a lot of weird code specific to the site I’m working on now (two more image sizes, etc.) it’s probably not in a useful state for others. I like Slidebox, but the XML files get cached by users’ browsers and so it wasn’t updating consistently (plus the Slidebox JavaScript is way too sophisticated for me; I just wanted to add a dynamic link to the bottom of the display window and it damn near killed me).

I could take a look at the thickbox probably.. I know that many users are already using it in maxigallery..

Yeah, my bad.. that is just there to make the picture descriptions look pretty in lightbox v2..

Doze, is there a reason to use your own scriptaculous and prototype version, there are inside the MODx release and the size of file increase a lot. Why don’t use the script in "manager\media\script\scriptaculous\scriptaculous.js" ?
I think a script management will be a good thing a kind of :

if (!$modx->isloaded_script(’scriptaculous’) include(’script’)

No reason I guess.. I think at somepoint lightbox or slidebox needed specific version of prototype / scriptaculous..

I’ll change it to use the ones that are in modx. There’s no need to do "script management" at the snippet side, modx api regclient** functions does that automatically.

Hi, I am very new to modx and am trying to setup the maxigallery. I have read alot of the posts in here and i am not sure if my problem is that my server is in safe mode? or that i am needing to patch my doc.parser file? or something else completely?

firstly i have installed everything as per instructions, (and have maxigallery running fine on another server) but when i add a standard call:

[[MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`lightboxv2` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1`]]

the page doesn’t load and i get the following error (sorry i am a bit of a newbie and my debugging is fairly bad).

trlen($validParents)-1); $tblContent= $tbl = $modx->getFullTableName(’site_content’); $activeClause= $showPublishedOnly? ’AND published = 1’: ’’; $query= "SELECT id, pagetitle, longtitle, description, introtext FROM $tblContent WHERE parent IN ($validParents) $activeClause ORDER BY $sortby $sortdir"; if (!$rs= $modx->db->query($query)) { return ’’; } while ($row= $modx->db->getRow($rs)) { $resource[]= $row; } return $resource; } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ?>n_id field to database table!"; ?>
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: createtable() in /data03/virt11978/domeenid/www.mydomain.com/htdocs/new/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(705) : eval()’d code on line 589

Could anyone shead some light. Or has anyone had a similar problem..

thanks. lach.

hmmh, the line number sounds off to me.. is there a possibility that your files could have corrupted on upload? try to upload the files again (and re-paste snippet code in manager). Also, make sure that all files are copied into right places as stated at installation instructions.
