Question about dataset in demo photo Gallery V.2

So I'm going to try and be as specific as possible.
I'm trying to use the code on the Spry demo page to create a gallery and I'm stuck on how to get it to load my .xml files instead of the china, egypt, and paris files. The only reference I see to a dataset is in the "gallery_xds.js" file. Am I completely missing something? I can get it to access my files, though it just opens them on a blank page.
Any advice?

Nevermind. I need to reset the cache on my browser.

Adding Caption to Spry Demo Photo Gallery

Guys,
Can someone please help... I'm trying to add a dynamic
caption to the following photo gallery:
http://www.stevenbeverage.com/gallery.html
Right now, I'm just using the image path for the caption, but
it doesn't change with when a new image is loaded. I started with
the demo files provided in the spry frameworks download.
Here is my code (the important parts anyhow):
<link href="spry/screen.css" rel="stylesheet"

add additional field : caption1 to the xml file with the
slideshow album information in each image line. this caption1 field
will have the
http:// address of the caption
then modify the caption display to read -
<a href="{@caption1}">{@caption}</a>
see how this works here

I have a question about the security of photo printing kiosks.

Specifically, I'd like for anyone who knows more about such things to tell me if I did something very stupid.
This past weekend, I found myself in a situation where I wanted to get a picture from my phone printed very quickly. I had not very many options available to me (it was Sunday, and there were no printing shops open anywhere nearby that I could access the picture via email). I ended up using a Walgreens/Duane Reade photo printing kiosk. I was able to directly connect my phone with a data cable and print the picture from my camera roll.
I was relieved to get the picture, but in retrospect I am very worried that connecting my phone to a public station like that was stupid, and that I might have opened myself up to malware or put my data in jeopardy. Is this something I should be worried about? If so, are there any instant precautions I should take? I welcome any harsh words.
I have an Iphone 5 with the most recent update to IOS7.
Thanks in advance, folks!

I was relieved to get the picture, but in retrospect I am very worried that connecting my phone to a public station like that was stupid, and that I might have opened myself up to malware or put my data in jeopardy.
Yes and yes. There's a reason why iOS 7 asks you if you trust the computer you've just connected it to.

Whether or not anything DID happen, I cannot say.

Newbie question about datasets

Say I wanted to use data from a recordset from an asp page
from an access database for the dynamic table, would the data have
to be made into an xml file first? or what? If so anyone know of
some good articles on turning access database tables/querys or
recordsets into xml? I'll real new to all the xml stuff, it look
great, but I just do not see the benefit unless you can some how
right it on the fly

so once you get your specific data base info set up, in it
-db connection info
-sql statement
If you are using the manual mode, set up your required node
names.
If you are using the automatic version, just get up the db
info and go.
then you can use it directly in your Spry page.
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("yourXML.asp","root/row");
and then build your page from there.
You don't have to output a static XML file from this. Spry
takes any page that generates XML.
I am not sure how most people build RSS feeds or otherwise.
Some make static files, some build static files from databases.
Just depends.
If the info is going to be mostly unchanging, a static file
would work.
If it is going to change often, a database driven file would
be a better choice. Just depends on your needs. People have XML
files with thousands of records or just a few. It comes in all
types.
So once your ASP page is set up, you should be able to browse
to it and see the valid XML tree.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Don
Then set up your dataset using that page directly and off you
go.

A question about the SAP Demo Example: OfficeControl in WebDynpro ABAP

Hello Experts,
I find some examples about WDA UI Element "OfficeControl" in packet SIOS. But some standard functions of Word are deactivated.
e.g in the following screenshots, MailMerge function is deactivated.
[screenshot|http://picasaweb.google.com/meerwu/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCJy33JuwwsSVDQ#5390235805723698882]

Spry Photo Gallery Demo

I am trying to build my own gallery based on the demo Photo Gallery Version 2. I want to add the photo metadata below the main image but I'm not sure how to do it. I am new to XML and javascript (I first looked at it 3 days ago), I can add the data to the xml file ok but I don't know how to get it to display. Any help appreciated.

I'm not familiar with this particular widget, but this may simply depend on adding some more variables to it. If so, the specific help on these widgets would cover it, so check the online docs...

Photo Gallery start up problem

I have a glitch and it's probably me … but here's what
I know.
About Don Booth's Photo Gallery:
It's great. Everything is good - integrated with my CSS -
looks nice.
When the page loads all is well except the first image in the
Gallery does not display in <div id="mainImageOutline"... (and
the first thumbnail is not highlighted). While I'm building and
testing this is OK. Just click a thumbnail and everything works
well.
In the demo, the Gallery is operational by default and starts
up with the first thumbnail and Spry:detail produces the
corresponding image (automatically). That's what I want.
About my code:
Except for a couple of "page layout" divs that I have,
consistent with my own site-wide style sheet conventions, such as
<div id="wrapper"> and <div id="maincontent"> I have:
1. Copied Don Booth's xhtml code directly from the
Spry_1_1_022408 download sample.
2. Copied Don Booth's css code directly from the same
download sample.
3. Copied Don Booth's gallery.js directly (without change as
far as I know).
The only significant change (apart from CSS and xhtml
structure) in my work is - I added an additional Spry:detail div to
present additional datapoints from xml. This is not relevant to my
question because the issue that concerns me is consistent if I
remove this second detail div. The start-up problem remains.
The URL for the gallery page in question is:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/gallery.htm
I imagine the problem is in gallery.js. You should know that
javascript is a bit like dungeons and dragons to me.
I have an error report:
Error: dsPhotos is not defined
Source File:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/includes/gallery.js
Line: 55
So, when I see:
var gAutoStartSlideShow;
if (gAutoStartSlideShow == undefined)
gAutoStartSlideShow = true;
I imagine I'm looking at something useful but I don't know
what to do with it, or if it is the right code to focus on. I
respect the relationship with level 4 support engineers, but after
trying to solve my own issue for a few weeks I decided it was time
to submit my question. How do I get Photo Gallery to start up like
the demo?
Additional information:
There is also a series of error reports that show when the
Gallery is playing (for example):
Warning: Expected end of value for property but found
'-0.0775'. Error in parsing value for property 'opacity'.
Declaration dropped.
Source File:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/gallery.htm
Line: 0
I don't think it is related, but that's what I know.
I tried to copy my xhtml (below) but it caused this message
to exceed allowed size. But I don't see that xhtml is the problem.
You can see the source at the URL (above).

Hi Latauro,
Sounds like you need to turn your Slideshow into a Track, and then set the Track to display as 16:9 Letterbox; but first, you'll also need to encode your slides as wide Mpeg 2 clips (encode set to 16:9), too; to whatever duration you have them set in the Slideshow, currently (if they're not already wide encoded clips).
It would be good to stick some same duration audible or silent same format and bit rate audio underneath each of the new movie slides, to present players a nicely packed VOB.
Take care,

Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge

Wanted to post a note to what I've discovered/worked out -- a
way to
generate a very useful photos.xml from Adobe Bridge. If you
use Bridge,
it's very easy to add titles, keywords, ratings -- all kinds
of metadata
that one might use in a photo gallery. Here it is in case
anyone wants
to use.
The script is based on one I found at the Adobe User to User
Bridge
Scripting Forum for exporting a CSV file.
Note 1: this particular script doesn't take into account
CDATA that
might exist in your metadata, like ampersands in your title.
I've just
avoided using those, but you could also have the script write
out a
CDATA node for that info instead.
Note 2: this script does not write out a thumbpath,
thumbwidth or
thumbheight attribute. But usually the thumbpath is the exact
same as
the regular "path" attribute, and the thumbwidth and
thumbheight are
just a ratio of the regular "width" and "height" attributes.
I added a
bit of JS to the gallery.js file to calculate those before
growing the
thumbnail on rollover.
Personally I'm using keywords as categories and titles as
captions and
sorting by rating (stars in Bridge), so here's the .jsx file
I created.
The script should be saved to the folder "StartupScripts" in
Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe.
Hope this is useful for others too!
#target bridge
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
// create menu
var menu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Export XML File",
"at the end
of Tools");
menu.onSelect = function(m) {
try {
// ask for the name of the output file
var f = File.saveDialog("Export XML file to:", "XML
File:*.XML");
if ( !f ) { return; }
// open filestream and write first line
f.open("w");
f.writeln("\<photos\>\r\r");
// get a list of all the visible thumbnails in Bridge
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) { var item = items
f.writeln("\<photo path = \"" + item.name + "\"" + "\r" +
"width = " +
"\""+ getWidth(item) + "\"" + "\r" + "height = " + "\""+
getHeight(item)
+ "\"" + "\r" + "rating = " + "\""+ getRating(item) + "\"" +
"\r" +
"categories = " + "\""+ listKeywords(item) + "\"" + "\r" +
"caption = "
+ "\""+ getTitle(item) + "\"" + " \>" + "\r" +
"\<\/photo\>\r\r" ); }
f.writeln("\<\/photos\>");
f.close();
} catch(e) {
function getTitle(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
var varTitle = md.title;
return varTitle;
function getWidth(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varWidth = md.ImageWidth;
return varWidth;
function getHeight(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varHeight = md.ImageLength;
return varHeight;
function getRating(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"
var varRating = md.Rating;
return varRating;
function listKeywords(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
var Keywords = md.Keywords;
var varKeywords = "" ;
for ( var i = 0; i < Keywords.length; ++i ) { varKeywords
= varKeywords
+ Keywords + ","; }
return varKeywords;

I updated the script so it exports an XML file from Bridge
with full
compatibility with the Spry Demo Photo Gallery, to use as
photos.xml.
It's at the same address:
http://www.imagicdigital.com/spry/bridge_export_xml.zip
To Use:
The script goes in the folder "StartupScripts" in Program
Files/Common
Files/Adobe.
Launch Bridge and browse to a folder that contains the files
you want in
your gallery -- the "source" folder, as it were.
Choose the menu command "Tools > Export XML for Spry
Gallery".
Type a name for your XML file in the Save dialog box, choose
a location,
and hit "Save".
In the dialog box that pops up, enter a max length/width for
your
thumbnails, in pixels. Some common sizes are "75" , "100" or
"125".
Hit "OK". You should see an alert pop up telling you "XML
file
successfully created!"

Help with Photo Gallery using XML file

I am creating a photo gallery using Spry. I used the Photo Gallery Demo (Photo Gallery Version 2) on the labs.adobe.com website. I was successful in creating my site, and having the layout I want. However I would like to display a caption with each photo that is in the large view.
As this example uses XML, I updated my file to look like this:
<photos id="images">
            <photo path="aff2010_01.jpg" width="263" height="350" thumbpath="aff2010_01.jpg" thumbwidth="56"
               thumbheight="75" pcaption="CaptionHere01"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_02.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_02.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere02"></photo>
            <photo path="aff2010_03.jpg" width="350" height="263" thumbpath="aff2010_03.jpg" thumbwidth="75"
               thumbheight="56" pcaption="CaptionHere03"></photo>
</photos>
The images when read into the main file (index.asp) show the images in the thumbnail area and display the correct image in the picture pain. Since I added the pcaption field to the XML file, how do I get it to display? The code in my index.html file looks like this:

rest of the code here:
        <div id="previews">
            <div id="controls">
                <ul id="transport">
                    <li><a href="#" class="previousBtn" title="Previous">Previous</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" class="playBtn" title="Play/Pause" id="playLabel"><span class="playLabel">Play</span><span class="pauseLabel">Pause</span></a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" class="nextBtn" title="Next">Next</a></li>
                </ul>
            </div>
            <div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsPhotos" class="SpryHiddenRegion">
                <div class="thumbnail" spry:repeat="dsPhotos"><a href="{path}"><img alt="" src="{thumbpath}"/></a><br /></div>
                <p class="ClearAll"></p>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div id="picture">
            <div id="mainImageOutline"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/><br /> Caption: {pcaption}</div>
        </div>
        <p class="clear"></p>
    </div>
Any help with getting the caption to display would be greatly appreciated. The Caption {pcaption} does not work,

Photo Gallery Demo Problem

I'm trying to understand the Photo Gallery demo so I can
replicate the function for use on various sites. I've copied the
html, xml, javascript and some of the photo file elements to my
hard drive. I initially modified the file structures to something
more of my liking, but had some problems with the links. I've since
mimicked the structures so I can reduce the initial errors, but I
am stumped at the var dsGallery and var dsPhotos statements that
dynamically link to the China, Paris and Egypt photo databases. In
the original dynamic definition, DreamWeaver only parses the
dsGalleries XML definition, not defining the dsGallery and dsPhoto
nodes. I wasn't too concerned about that given the variable nature,
but nothing except the pull-down menu and controls displayed in the
browser. DreamWeaver shows correct parsing of the dsGalleries XML,
dsGallery and dsPhoto nodes only when I eliminate the dynamic
linking and set it to one of the static links (Egypt). This fails
in the browser to link to the data, giving a display that shows the
correct number of empty thumbnail frames but without the displayed
photos, no Spry effects, and no large photo display. I'm sure I
have multiple reference errors, but I don't see them. Any ideas?

Spry_P1_6_10-01 Photo Gallery questions

I am attempting to use the Photo Gallery from the newest
download of the Spry Framework and I have 2 issues.
First, I build the images and thumbs galleries using
Photoshop CS3 and the automate photo gallery option to build the
library. All of the XML and Image Data is identical to the existing
Structure / folders (named China, Egypt, and Paris). I replace the
files and modify the info in the galleries XML but the result is an
empty gallery. Is there a structure I am missing?
Second, I am building the galleriy in a DIV. The demo works
fine all by itself but when I place the code into a DIV I get an
unexpected result in the thumbnail viewer. as the images expand
they push all the other thumbs around and shuffel about.
The page I am talking about is located at:
http://www.1stbankersrealty.com/athenatest/portfolio2.php
All other items are working fine
I also want to mention I tried using the Addon for Bridge
discussed in the folowing forum:
Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge
And I am a bit confused how it works...
I am new to Spry so I hope someone can help....
Thanks,
Kevin

Thinking of making the PC to Mac Move, questions about Photos App

Helped my mother on her Mac a little bit and got the Photos App working for her. Now my turn, I have been a die hard Windows user, but I will never use a Windows phone. (Can never give up my iPhone) I have been taking on a huge family project of scanning old photos and dating them. Along with digital photos from early 2000’s. I have probably about 10,000 photos. (And 20,000 more to scan) In Windows I use photo gallery 2012 to organize and date etc. my photos. The thing I like about photo gallery is that when I make a change to a photo it edits the original. The dates and GPS I add to the photo are forever saved to the file in the metadata.
I am very tempted to move to a Mac. (I have an iPhone & Apple TV, I would like to sync across all my devices) I never like iPhoto, the idea of a “non destructive” editing means I have to import and export photos. I think the new Photos app might work for me.
A few questions:
If I move all my directories/folders of my photos to a Mac, will I be able to use the Mac Photo App to edit the photos and the changes I make be saved directly to the photo file in the respective folder? (Or are the photos then saved in a new location after being edited in the Mac Photo App?)
If I turn on the iCloud Photo Library (on the Mac & iPhone) I understand all my photos will be uploaded to the cloud and any changes made on either device will be seen on the other. My question, if I make changes to a photo that is in the iCloud will that change be made to the original photo file that is stored on the Mac? (Basically I want to have at all times a hard drive copy for my personal backup)
With the iCloud Photo Library feature I understand that any new photo I take with my iPhone is uploaded to the iCloud. Are the photos taken on the iPhone physically downloaded to the Mac? I know I can view them on the Mac Photo app, but I want to know if they are downloaded to the Mac and if so where does it save the new photos?
Thanks,
Nick

I do not use ICloud so someone else will need to answer those questions. For question one though... Photos, like Aperture and Iphoto before it, puts your photos in its own filing system. You would need to export the photos to get them back out of Photos. You can export them to anywhere in your mac file system.

IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
into my site, now that MobileMe is gone??? I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
Thanks, Eric U

You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4. You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

Question About Photo Printers

Excuse me for asking a question about photo printers here, but I could not find a place in the Apple Discussions form for printers.
I'm thinking about buying an Epson R1900 printer since my primary selection criteria is the quality of glossy photographs.
However, I have been told that use of the R1900 for general purposes (with a "standard" printer setting and non-photo paper) will detract from the R1900's performance when it will be used for printing photos (with photo RPM printer settings on premium photo paper or other media). But I just do not know whether this is correct. I was planning to have only one printer and expecting to use the photo printer as my "general purpose" printer (text, documents etc.).
I would appreciate receiving advice/guidance from people who know about printers and/or people having with experience with the Epson R1900.
Thanks for your help.

I use my photo printer in two ways.
For high quality prints I use the manufacturers Glossy paper and their expensive archival Quality inks for excellent results. More commonly though, I change out those ink cartridges and replace them with a cheaper water soluble ink bought online and use normal A4 copy paper for printing web pages and PDF documents.
This second practice is about 60% cheaper in ink and copy paper is only about 1 cent per sheet and is satisfactory for such documents.
The disadvantage is that is does require physically replacing one set of ink cartridges for the other, also if moving from basic to quality, I also do the inkhead alignment tests and adjustments to ensure that the output for glossy photos is going to be first rate.
I find this necessary to prevent waste of good pigments, yet it still allows the printer to be used for more mundane usage of printing documents. The cost of printers is heavily discounted, as the manufacturers recoup their cost from the sale of ink. Hence one needs to have this dual usage in place to get the best of both worlds.
This advice is not specific to one model photo printer, rather it is a general approach developed after spending too much money on good ink, printing web pages.

Flash Photo Gallery Question

Hello,
I am a photographer interested in designing a photo gallery
website.My question is how are the special effects created in Flash
for when a thumbnail is clicked and the photo downloads into the
picture viewer? (such as the photo fading in , the photo is
assembled from small blocks, the photo downloads from left to
right, the photo downloads after a flash of light) Is there a name
for these effects? Thank you so much, Wendy

These are some complex components/files you can get free off

This particular sample is the closets to what you are looking
for. It is XML
driven so all the files information can be edited w/o
changing the Flash movie.
You can define 9 transitions along the image name and the
rest happens automatically.
There are many more samples online, search for stuff like
"flash photo gallery"
or "flash gallery", some free some shareware but definitely
plenty.
