Integrate flsh gallery into ezpublish

Friday 10 September 2010 8:16:11 am

Hi,

Have anyone integrated flash gallery like polaroid into ezpublish. Jquery based gallery is Ok.

But in flash based gallery image is loaded by an xml file.

I do not have any idea where do I put xml file and how it works with tpl file

since in template file, within javascript code is like this to load the xml file

//<![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("polaroid.swf", "polaroid", "100%", "100%", "8", "#FFFFFF");
// specify the url to the xml-file, default is photos.xml
so.addVariable("xmlURL","photos.xml");
so.write("fullscreendemo");
//]]>

Isn't possible to include flash gallery , Not jquery based gallery.

If it possible where do put xml file. Any one did this before. I have searched in the ezforum. But someo ne asked this question few years back .but no reply. Hope Someone going to help .

Gabriel, thanks a for your reply .

It is a static xml file. Following is the code for photos.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<photos>
<!-- Plase your photos here -->
<photo desc="Picture is from stock.xchng" url="_pics/1.jpg" />
<photo desc="Picture is from stock.xchng" url="_pics/2.jpg" />
</photos>

so I got u.

in the above code pictures wll be loaded like

<photo desc="Picture is from stock.xchng" url={"_pics/1.jpg" |ezimage}/>
<photo desc="Picture is from stock.xchng" url={"_pics/2.jpg"|ezimage} />

It will be took from the image dir of design folder. Is that correct?

Frankly I didn't get your second explanation about dynamic xml file.

Gabriel ,can u plz give a line of code to understand will be helpfull

Perfect.Thanks a lot for your detail reply Gabriel. I got you.

after that just only need to put this javascript code in some a templte?

in sometemplate.tpl

<script type="text/javascript">

<literal>

so.addVariable("xmlURL",{"layout/set/photos"|ezurl})

</literal>

</script>

So when this template executes, it will take pagelayout_photos.tpl

that contain ezimage types.
