Re: [kcmedia] Flash Gallery

Hi kxmedia,

I can point you in the right direction but XML files can take some time. This can be true even when you are just working with text versions with no CMS or PHP. The slightest error and flash won't work with it.

You know how to make a HTML page work with CMSB, just think of this as a text page you need to setup. That's basically what it is anyways. You just need to make the page output by CMSB (config.xml.php) look like the original text page (config.xml) or at least very similar.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave

I have doen what you said but the only things now that looks out of pace is that the images are not showing up.

it keeps saying Array

i dont know what to look for because all i did was put the CMS code in there to show the images here is the xml.php file
Thanks

Hi Dave

I have the code looking like the config.xml file but i had to hack the code up a bit and as a few more features to CMS builder to handle the file names because it wouldnt show the images.

I have the config.xml.php file now outputing the url image and all the code right but still the flash app wont pickup the config.xml.php file for it to work.
Thanks

Hi kcmedia,

Looks good:
- The header sent is: text/xml (like your other file)
- It validates with: http://validator.w3.org/
- It appears correct on visual inspection
- The image urls are valid

I've saved the output of config.xml.php as config.xml and attached it. Upload this and see if it works with your flash.

If it works then:
- erase config.xml again
- uncomment the mod_rewrite rule in the .htaccess
- so requests for config.xml are served by config.xml.php
- and see if that works
- if it doesn't we need to check the PHP for any extra differences.

If it doesn't work then:
- You know the problem is related to the XML and not PHP or the CMS
- So review the docs for the flash app and figure out what's wrong with the XML.

Hope that helps!

Hi kcmedia,

Can you set it up so it's working with the config.xml I send you and then email me CMS and FTP login details and I'll take a look for you? Email to dave@interactivetools.com, don't post login details to the forum.

Thanks!

Hi kcmedia,

Thanks, I received that.

You had everything perfect except the .htaccess. I just removed the / so it looked in the current folder and not the root:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule config.xml$ /config.xml.php [L]


Then I renamed /newsite/config.xml to /newsite/config.xml.orignal and refreshed this url to confirm the rewrite was happening:
http://www.actionmc.com.au/newsite/config.xml

Then viewed the index.php and everything seems to be working.

Can you take a look and confirm and then let me know?

Thanks, hope that helps! :)

Hmm, not sure. Unfortunately we're back to the drawing board on that one. It's too bad that component doesn't give you any errors or tips.

I've copied the output of /config.xml.php to /config.xml and commented out the mod_rewrite in .htaccess.

The live site doesn't seem to work with the plain text xml either so there must be some difference in the configuration.

If you can figure out how to get the live site working with the plain text config.xml file then it should be easy to copy the changes to config.xml.php.
