i have installed the Imagegen and the designit gallery package. I am having some trouble in making it work correctly.
It is supposed to list all images from a folder in the media section into a lightbox gallery, i have got the lightbox effect, but the it never displays an image - only the preloader.
and the thumbnail is only listed as the title tag, and no image here either.
It looks like the gallery package is trying to reference ImageGen under /umbraco/ImageGen.ashx, but in a later version it was moved to the root of the site (/ImageGen.ashx).
So probably what you'll need to do is edit the Gallery's XSLT File (Developer -> XSLT), find any references to /umbraco/ImageGen.ashx and replace with /ImageGen.ashx
I have to take your word for it because programming isn't my strong side, but the gallery package does not contain a XSLT File. Only 2 .ascx a .dll and the rest is .js and css. Both in my downloaded folder and in the XSLT folder in umbraco. So i don't know where to find and change paths you mentioned?
Sorry, I assumed it was using an XSLT Macro but it looks like it's a .NET Usercontrol. From what I can tell it's hardcoded to use /umbraco/ImageGen.ashx in the codebehind and there doesn't appear to be a way to change it without re-compiling the source. If you have Visual Studio you could do that by downloading the source code, changing the path in the ShowGallery.ascx.cs file, re-compiling and copying the DLL to your /bin/ folder.
Otherwise you might be able to get away with just moving/copying ImageGen.ashx to the /umbraco/ folder.
Image gallery
Hi guys
i have installed the Imagegen and the designit gallery package. I am having some trouble in making it work correctly.
It is supposed to list all images from a folder in the media section into a lightbox gallery, i have got the lightbox effect, but the it never displays an image - only the preloader.
and the thumbnail is only listed as the title tag, and no image here either.
I simply don't know what is wrong here.
It seems to me as it finds the image, but then i dont understand why it isn't displayed on the site.
Hope that someone can help me out with this one? :D
the temporary site is http://web507447.ta31.talkactive.net/butikken.aspx
Thanks

Hi Tom
I don't have visual studio, but can i change it in another code-editor?
I tried moving the ImageGen.ashx, but that didn't work :(
