I'm hoping someone can help me with Visual LightBox in VSD? This is my first time using it. I think I did everything I'm supposed to. I uploaded photos and filled in the publishing location. Put in the header code under Edit Header and the body code using the HTML tool. BUT, the photos that I uploaded to Visual LightBox are not showing. Here's a link to the site: http://qsl.net/k5on/Photos.html

Any help and/or suggestions are truly appreciated.

Ruby

The photos are not located where the script is saying they will be.

http://qsl.net/k5on/pics_files/vlb_thumbnails1/qth.jpg

Says they will be in a folder called vlb_thumbnails1 within a folder called pics_files within a folder inside there called k5on

If you put that link into the browser you get a 404 error, because it's not there. Check your locations of your files, check to make sure you didn't capitalize or uncapitalize the names or folders so that they match the location in the script of the files.

These files are also missing. Use the "Add files" tool and make sure their there. Then come back here and click these links to confirm.

Thanks Jo Ann and Eric, but I'm now more confused than ever! I've gone in and made sure that all caps and non-caps are where they should be. I've reuploaded to VLB and I've also Added Files and then published VSD, but it's still not working. I was told that this was supposed to be easy...LOL:(

Thanks again, you guys. I really appreciate your time.

Aww Bruzer you pop up at the most useful times! But not enough!

Thanks Bruzer. I found an old link to your site for VLB but it was gone.

An easier way to add a visual lightbox slideshow to a vsd page is by using an iframe.

1: after creating the slideshow, start DirectFTP (or any FTP software), make a new folder called for instance 'slideshow' at the root of your domain (i.e. www.yourdomain.com/slideshow ) and copy all files and folders produced by Visual Lightbox there.
2: Add a HTML box to the page where you want the slideshow to appear and type the folllowing code there:

<IFRAME
SRC="http://www.yourdomain.com/slideshow/*.html"
WIDTH="aaa"
HEIGHT="bbb"
FRAMEBORDER="NO"
SCROLLING="NO">
</IFRAME>

*.html will be index.html in most cases. You MUST set it if it's not index.html, otherwise you could omit it completely.

Replace the aaa in width with the width of your slideshow as defined in visual lightbox, the same goes for bbb in height. If you want to have scrollbars and a border replace no by yes. You might want to define the width and color of a frameborder. Click here for a complete description of how to use the iframe parameters: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp

The size of the HTML box itself should have the same width an height as has been set inside the iframe, not because this is needed, but for your visual impression.

If you do it this way, the slideshow will show in your preview.

I use this always and for anything, like incorporating blogs and forms, whatever I make with web design software that can do things VSD can't do, but also for adding Twitter, Youtube movies, Facebook or whatever external website. Look at the page source of www.johnvanhulst.com for examples, or any other page source of websites I created.

Success, John
