Simple way to use the Photo Gallery Module and flexslider to create an editable image slider?

I want to offer an image slider that my clients can easily update themselves through the Admin. Ive researched it alot and I know it can be done using web apps but does my cliently seriously need to pay over $400 a year for the webcommerce option just to have an updatable image slider?? I find that unrealistic. Does anyone know how to set this up using the photo gallery module and "flexslider" so clients on the business marketing plan can have access to a simple and clean editable image slider?
Any BC experts that can help would be greatly appreicated!
Thankyou

Not an expert, but I think what you're looking for is a slider that can get its list of photos from an XML file. The Photo Gallery module can produce an XML file.

How to make the Photo Gallery module responsive?

Hi,
I am using Fondation and have a photo gallery on this page www.sunnysideinstantlawn.com.au/gallery made from the Photo Gallery Module in BC. How do I make it responsive?
I know there are alternatives out there using jquery but I would like to continue using the photo gallery module if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi BBowyer
I really like Pretty Photo (http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/) - how do I implement it on this page http://www.sheepconnectsa.com.au/gallery?
I understand jquery but it gets abit confusing with implementing it on this page. Would it be best for me to create a web app and do it?
Cheers,

How do I modify the template used in the Photo Gallery module

I notice the Photo Galleries are rendered as an HTML table and I would like to make a small modification to the way the gallery is rendered on the page.
Basically I just want to wrap a DIV around the <img> tag so I can control the look of the image via my own CSS.
I see there is the ability to modify Module Templates, but the photo gallery module is not listed there.
Where can I access the template used for a photo gallery?
Alternatively I will need to display the images myself using an XML feed and jQuery, but I would rather use BC's own modules when I can.

Hi David,
There is no template for the photo Galleries. But if you are using Firebug you can find out the css values and add your own modification by adding CSS by the same selector as the current gallery to your own page and use the !Important value to over write the gallery css.

Is there a way to use the photos from iphoto in a collage like the itunes artwork screensaver?

is there a way to use the photos from iphoto in a collage like the itunes artwork screensaver?

Yes except i would like it to look like the itunes album artwork screen saver does. the itunes album artwork screen saver shows a bunch of squares and when one of the boxes changes it spins and goes to the next album artwork
what you have indicated above is kind of like a slide show where it shows you one of your pictures and zooms out to show you a collage version of another one of your pictures. i would like it to be formatted similar to the way the itunes screen saver is.
if you click on itunes artwork on the same menu as shown in your last post, you will see what i am trying to achieve.

Is there a way to use the built-in Datalogging and programmatically log the front panel while the vi is running?

I would like to use the built-in Data Logging feature. There is the "Log at Completion" option, but is there a way to programmatically make a new log record while running? I looked around in VI server and couldn't find any methods that would do that. Currently, I am grabbing all of the front panel control references using VI Server and if there are any changes, the changed values are written to a log file along with a date/time stamp. I'm mostly dealing with buttons, which simply change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, so it's not too hard to visualize what was pressed. It works okay for reconstructing what happened, but it would be much nicer to use the built-in fe
ature because you can "replay" directly onto the front panel and actually see what the changes were. However, without being able to programmatically make a new log, it won't work for me.

Jake,
There are several options here.
I would suggest using your own code for datalogging. The datalogging you are referring to is primarily for debug, and one shot datalogs of front panel indicators (and controls?), not including graphs, etc.
If you go to the file functions, you will see a menu for datalogging. These functions will allow you to save your data, as you need it, simply, and in a compact format.
I recommend opening the datalog file, doing all your file operations, and closing the file before the program is complete. There are several examples of this in the examples database.
Good luck

Is there any way to modify the photo book size after I have created the book?

I created a photo book then realized it was not the correct size. Is there a way to correct the size or do I have to start from scratch?
I Found the answer after I posted this- CTRL D to duplicate, then choose new theme - Worked like a charm.

Yes. First click on the book in the Projects section and type Command +D (duplicate). Open the book, click on Change Themes and in the next window select the size and type you want.
The duplicate is to have in case you find any text that was removed in the resizing. You can cut and past from the duplicate copy to the original. Also verify that the resized book has all of its text, not text warning indicators and that all photos are there and in the correct order.
Always create a PDF version of the book according to this Apple doucment, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture, to check for any errors, i.e. typos, missing text, etc., before ordering the book. Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed version when it arrives.
Opps! Answered your question from the title without reading the full body of your post. However, the last 2 paragraphs are worth reviewing.

Looking for a simple way to use the back button

I've read a couple articles on getting the browsers back
button, call me slow but I don't quite understand them. Is there
some way to execute a history.go(-1) type function in Flex? If I
can provide my own back button I'd forgo the browsers back button .
Any thoughts?

Flex has a history manager (Flex 2) and deep linking feature
(Flex 3).

Photo Gallery module- isn't responsive

Hi there,
I am trying to find out if someone can help me with the photo gallery module. I have used the photo gallery module in a responsice template but it isn't responsive when you look at it on a phone. I have asked for help from the support but they said it is a css / html question so they can't help. This seems a bit odd as the module has been provided in a responsive template- and should really work as responsive.
If anyone could help or knows of the code that needs to be added in to make it work, that'd be really appreciated
Many thanks
Emily

Photo Gallery Module- is not responsive

Hi there,
I have been using the business catalyst for a few sites but I have noticed that the photo gallery module isn't responsive and when you look at the gallery on a phone it doesn't adjust to fit the screen. Is there anything that can be done about it?
I asked the support guys but they said they can't help as it is an html / css question, however, I think if the responsive template comes with a photo module- it should actually be responsive.
Thanks
Emily

Photo Gallery Module - Customize large image size

I need to figure out how to customize the size of the full image on the Photo Gallery Module. I have a couple of clients using this module that do not understand how to crop and resize images before uploading them.
I understand this can be done through CSS, but the issue I foresee is that the original image is still used which could have a large file size. Is there a workaround for resizing the full size image and also reducing the actual file size? Either through CSS, JS, or maybe even the new BC Liquid engine? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can go to the file manager and use the resize option on images in there.
BUT
They need to do this outside of such systems, BC will only edit based on numbers and math, if the client gets the wrong proportional values it will screw up the images, the system will not crop the images, only scale them so things can turn out squashed etc.
If images are being used on the web as an indicative representation of something for a site, they need to be done properly and out of the system before they come in.

Customizing the Photo Gallery

I am very curious to see if anyone knows how to customize the photo gallery module in it's look/functionality without using web apps?
(In other words stay on a lower BC plan, no web apps, but have a cool gallery that a user could change the photos themselves)
ANY help on this mis much appreacited!

Can I add a business catalysts Photo Gallery module to Muse.

Can I add a business catalysts Photo Gallery module to Muse - As my client want to upload images themselves to the gallery.
I know that with the Muse plugin this is not possible. Therefore wanted to see if the photo gallery module in BC would work the same as the Blog Module?
Thanks

If you're a little familiar with Business Catalyst, you might find this widget helpful.
It's a BC Photo Gallery - Muse Widget, Its very easy to use and customize.
There is a training video on how to set it up.
However Brad is right, you'll need to upgrade to BC webMarketing Plan.

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use for a project that I am working on. I opened my photo gallery and it indicated that I could not use

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use in a project that I am working on. When I opened the photo gallery it said I could not use the photo gallery because it has not been updated. Can someone please help me with this...let me know how to do this...or...Thank you,

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

With the original ATV is there a way to use the usb port with external hard drive?

Is there a way to use the usb with ATV1 and external hard drive?

I have the same question and refuse to beleive that Apple would put the USB port there for a HD and not be able to use it for that purpose.

What is the easiest way to put a photo gallery into an existing website?

I am ready to give up. This really can't be this difficult.
Either that or I am the dumbest person in the world. Up until now, I didn't know that I was.
I just want something easy.
I am designing a website using Dreamweaver Cs5.5. I am on a PC with Windows Vista Operating System.
I have an existing website www.metzartonline.com.
On the Gallery page, I want to include a simple photo gallery where I can showcase paintings. I would like a simple (theres that word again) grid that shows the photos as thumbnails. When you click on the thumbnail, it shows the image in a larger size with a small caption.
I've tried using Bridge which was very easy to set up but I'm at a loss on how to integrate that into the webpage. After lots of research, I've come to the conclusion that integrating that into an existing website just insn't that easy to do.
I purchased the Classic Photo Gallery from Flash Development 24 because it was described as "easy to use."
It is not easy to use.
The steb by step guide for one, isn't even written in proper English. I've tried to work with it an I've emailed support several times.
I'm ready to give that up.
I just want to make a simple gallery that I can integrate into an existing website.
Can anyone suggest the easiest program to use?
Please?

You can use Adobe Bridge (it is built into Dreamweaver) and Adobe Fireworks. Once you have Dreamweaver open, go to File and you will see "Browse in Bridge". Adobe Fireworks is a separate program and must be installed to make this work. The instructions below are step by step and I was able to follow them even though I am not overly experienced in Dreamweaver. I created these with Dreamweaver CS4 but the instructions below should work for CS5 as well.
The first address here is to create a photo gallery with the Adobe Output Module which you open in Bridge.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
The second address explains how to incorporate the gallery into a Dreamweaver page.

Here is my wife's website for her art: www.tanglewoodbrushstrokes.com
You may want to look at the galleries there first to see if they are what you are looking for.
There are two disadvantages to these galleries. One is that to add or subract images requires creating a new gallery. The good side is that this can be done fairly quickly once you become accustomed to how they are created. I can do a new one now in a half hour or less. To make it easier, you can go to split screen once you have the new gallery made and substitute the html for the new gallery in place of the old one without recreating your page parameters for the gallery.
Secondly, the galleries created in Fireworks use flash technology so they will not work on Iphones or Ipads. To correct this on my wife's website, I upgraded to CS5.5 in order to use HTML5. I am going through the tutorials for creating HTML5 web pages now. Once I have completed them, I will be re-doing my wife's site. I haven't yet figured out how I will create and install the galleries yet. I have posed a question about albums for HTML5 on this forum. Using HTML5 appears to be more complex than what I have experienced in the past, but we will see.
Hope this helps. Don't get too frustrated when you go through the tutorials above. Take your time and you will be able to figure it out. If I could do it, so can you. I am a 65 year old retiree who only began working with Dreamweaver about three years ago. My work experience was not in the computer field although we bought our first computer, an Apple IIE, in 1980.
