   Hello,

   I would love to use this technique of yours, however, I must be doing something wrong. I have the website below and the php output below. The output is not showing images but “X”s. the source code shows that it is not following the images and just repeats the thumbs/ folder. There are 12 “X”s and there are indeed 12 thumbs in the folder. the index.php, sv-gallery-output.php are in the /MonicaDengo folder and the thumbs are in the /MonicaDengo/Thumbs folder. I put the code you suggested into the index.php file as well.

   Any insight you have would be very helpful.

   Lastly, once this works, how do I tell the spiders to look at the sv-gallery-output.php to find the images? i will have numerous galleries…

   Thanks so much for the help.

   Thanks you, it looks like a very handy script. But I’m trying to download the file, and I get to your 404 page. Is the link broken?

   Hi there
   Handy script, but I’m getting the same problem. I can’t get images (thumbnails) to display. Caption displays ok but no images. Any idea why?
   If you send me an email I can give you access to my files so you can check.
   Thanks very much

   Tom

   Hi – Just found this link and wondered if your technique would work and be beneficial for a site using SV Pro 2? My site is: http://www.abrackenbury.com

   Andrew,
   In certain instances, the script works fine in SimpleViewer 2.0 . You can download it and try it on one of your galleries. Let me know if you need any assistance.
   PS! I did a quick test of your gallery.xml and it looks valid for the script to work. http://www.mkwebdesign.ca/test/simpleviewer-seo.php

    First of all, huge thanks for producing this simpleviewer plugin!

    The only issue I have is that I don’t know how to make it work with SimpleViewer WordPress plugin. The issue is that I am unable to supply SEO plugin with the URL of the gallery file (wp-uploads/[GalleryID].xml).

    Do you plan to make any ammendments to make it work? or any ideas on how I could fix this?

    Thanks!

    Hi Mikael,
    many thanks for providing the script.

    Perhaps I miss something, but how do I make sure that the page is only displayed if flash is not available?
    If I include the script into my gallery, I first see all thumbs that are populated by your script AND the SimpleViewer slideshow.

    What do I miss?

    Thanks,
    Sandra

    Sandra,

    You need to place the code inside the PUT CODE HERE
    or if you are using the newest embed code from SimpleViewer it won’t have the flashcontent div, but rather the sv-container, so then put your code in between the sv-container div.

    PUT CODE HERE

    Andrius,

    Sorry for the delay in approving and replying. I have been in Europe travelling with patchy internet.

    I think the only way right now would be to modify the current wp-simpleviewer.php file and insert the code into it. If you would like, I can do a modified version and you can then try it.

    Mikael,

    thanks for the reply! That would be great! I tried to figure it out myself, but my knowledge of php is limited to only being able to read it.

    Thank you!

    Hi Mikael,
    thx a lot for your plug-in. I have SV2 and when i check enter the url simpleviewer-seo.php file in my browser it worked. So i try implement it in the sv-container of the index.html and put the simpleviewer-seo.php in the same directory like my index file.

    Is this correct? How can i check if the plug-in works? I try to google my captions but they doesn’t show up.

    Thx, Conny

    Conny,

    You can either disable flash in your web browser (java script) and next time you view the website the photos with captions should show.
    If you just want to make sure that the captions is showing, try viewing your site with the text-only web viewer Lynx.

    You can do that online at

    Hello Mikael,

    Does your very good script is fully compatible with Juicebox (http://juicebox.net/) the “new” Simpleviewer ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Eric,
    I have not tried it with the Juicebox. The script is fairly simple, and can easily be modified to match the new xml file.
