CoffeeCup Flash Menu not displaying...

Folks,

Any help would be really appreciated on this, I've looked at this for a while and made no headway. Putting this page together for a buddy.

http://riversidebargrill.com/

Here the flash menu comes up nicely (all supporting files mymenu.swf, mymenu.html, mymenu.xml, beforeCrop.gif and afterCrop3.gif are in the home directory)


BUT:

http://www.riversidebargrill.com/cgi-bi … amp;y=2007

I want the same flash menu but it's not appearing (I've duplicated all supporting files and copied them to cgi-bin/calendar and edited source but no headway)

thanks in advance - Dan

It looks to me that the calendar page still points to:
http://www.riversidebargrill.com/mymenu.swf
If you want html files located in two different folders to access the same menu, I believe you have to manually edit the paths to links & images in the XML (use Notepad) to the full paths.
Example, change btnimage="beforeCrop.gif" to
btnimage="http://riversidebargrill.com/beforeCrop.gif" I honestly don't know if you can run those files inside of a cgi-bin folder. That might be the problem here. When I try to load directly (assuming it's there):
http://www.riversidebargrill.com/cgi-bi … ymenu.swf,
I get the following error:
500 Server Error
A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.

I strongly advise that you don't put the calendar files into the cgi-bin folder.

The calendar files folder should be in the root directory and Adam is right that by using the full path to the images will solve some of your problems.

Adam, Jim,

thanks for the responses. It's strange, even if the paths are perfect, it will never display properly from within my cgi-bin directory (this was the recommended installation directory from the third-party calendar provider).

I moved all cgi files to another directory under home and everything now seems functional.

thanks - Dan

The third party calendar may have to be run from the cgi-bin folder probably because it is a cgi script, however, cc calendar is flash based and should not be placed their as .swf will not be an acceptable file extension inside cgi-bin.

Anyway, you have it working now so that is good.
