To use the Imagevue- and Slideshow templates, you must first make sure you are using a version of Imagevue downloaded after
5. February 2007. If you have an earlier version, please get your latest release in the
downloads section before you proceed with templates.
Templates are provided along with the latest release, but if you for some reason need to download templates independently, please goto the templates section.
Goto our templates preview section
here, and take note of the name of the template.
2. Locate the template folder
In your Imagevue folder, locate the template you are looking for under
upload/templates/(template name)/.
3. Copy php files to root
From inside your selected template folder, copy the files
index.php and
slideshow.php to the root of your Imagevue upload folder, overwriting the files already exsisting there. Upload new files(x2) to your website.
4. Test your gallery
Check your gallery to see if the new template is functioning correctly.
5. Additional configuration and changes
Now you may change the configuration as you like, but keep in mind that the configuration files currently in use are located in the folder of the template you are currently using. For example, if you are using the
carbon template, your configuration files will be:
upload/templates/carbon/config.ini
upload/templates/carbon/slideshowimagevueconfig.ini
upload/templates/carbon/slideshowconfig.ini
upload/templates/carbon/slideshowpopupconfig.ini
Likewise, the startimage and background image files are also located in the folder of your selected template. Example:
upload/templates/carbon/carbonstart.jpg
upload/templates/carbon/carbonbackground.swf
# Addtional Information for advanced users
The
method for using templates is quite basic. If you open your
index.php or
slideshow.php, you will see that on line 12 it says by default:
$config = 'config.ini';
By referring a configuration file in a templates folder, it will use the settings in the given configuration file instead. Example:
$config = 'templates/carbon/config.ini';
Setting a template can therefore also be done dynamically by simply referring a template configuration file as a parameter in the URL as in the example below:
www.imagevuex.com/imagevue/?configfile=templates/carbon/carbon.ini
