  • Hi!..is possible to link from an external page to a specific gallery?

    Thanks.

  • hi all, it is not possible yet, until permalinks are made to work, sorry.
  • it's possible to use permalinks for galleryes?
  • as i just stated, currently it is not possible.
  • Linking to a specific gallery would be such a valuable addition to this wonderful program and it seems like it would be such a simple problem. Of course, it's a problem I can't figure out because I don't have the skill. I don't have a ton of disposable cash at the moment but I would happily pay $25 if someone could come up with a solution.

    How about it, gang?

  • hi lakechicago,

    if it makes you feel better, there's a solution that *almost* works but not in all browsers, and not all the times, and it is included in the addition's pipeline, so it'll come with the next major release, namely 1.0 Beta, but that all will happen when I find the time, and since I just moved to New York City, it might be in a month or so before I find free time to continue working on it.

    the code is embedded in the gallery, it is not active though, and i don't have the time to guide people on where is it, though a knowledgeable javascript programmer will find it in no time (under 'permalinks').

    hope someone does before i do, out there are better programmers than me, so it might end up working better than my lousy version :)
  • Victor:

    Sounds great. Now we'll sit back and see if anyone bites.

    Don
  • well, you can always do a dirty workaround by entering some javascript in the body tag:
  • thanks jborges. i would like to notice that using $_GET variables can be a serious security risk, so please do be aware of it.
  • to all, in the next release of minishowcase a non-robust untested version of permalinks will be released. ust activate
    $settings['show_permalinks']
    on your
    /config/settings.php
    file.
  • Hi Victor,

    with firefox but it's dosn't worked
  • alex, please follow the guidelines when posting so we can better help you.

    it seems to work in my local version of firefox (firefox 3.0, Mac OS X 10.5). which version are you using?
  • [quote=victor][/quote]
    I'm using firefox 3.0.4.
  • Hello Victor,
    Your project, is best and simple from all world!

    well, i really think permanet links (100% functional like name with spaces, etc) for galleries, is strong recommended for next snapshot.
    Is very important can use others menu or external links direct to a specify gallery!
    sorry for bad english,
    Thanks for now! :D
  • oops! forget, is important too a optional in config.php for hide/show "menu of galleries"

    Sometimes, i need show just a gallery without menu and others things.. more clean possible.

    i do this modifications in my code, but.. like a "quick bad fix" lol :D
    is shameful share my ugly code with this community :(

    bye!
