Photo Gallery: multiple galleries

Hi,
I have read the blog & faq and I am still confused, I am not a very
technical person so an idiot help would be gratefully received.
I have created gallery1 with pictures & thumbnails and that is fine. The
problem I have is on my new page I insert the gallery to start my second
gallery and I have the content of gallery1.
What is confusing me is what I enter and what option I need to use an
example would be really helpful.

Thank you for your help - by the way I think your product is really good.

Hi,
first of all make sure you are using the latest gallery from our website.

If you insert several galleries in different pages but in the same folder,
they can rewrite the same configuration files.
So the gallery user interface shows up the window with 3 options:

- Use another names for config files,
- Change names manually,
- Use the same names.

If you select first option and click OK,
the gallery will have unique configuration files and you will be able
to make completely different galleries.

Photo Gallery - more than 1 page in a website that has a photo gallery

Hi There,

I have 2 separate web pages I am putting a photo gallery. I complete the 1st page and insert the photo gallery into the second page and it gives me the same file for the 1st page. If I replace the images on the 2nd page, it over-writes the first page. How do I create 2 separate web pages with unique photos for each? For instance page 1 has Gallery, page 2 has Gallery2.


Answer:


Hi,
the gallery saves all settings in two XML files in the "Gallery_files" folder (by default):
"image_list.xml" and "config.xml".

So if you have "page 1" and "page 2" in the same folder, they possibly
rewrite the same XMLs in the same "Gallery_files" folder.

In the current version of the gallery you can select any
location for gallery files.


Gallery tab => Files => Config XML Path
Gallery tab => Files => XML Image List Path

Make sure that each instance of the gallery has unique "playlist.xml" (and "config.xml").
