Hi Guys,

I want to use a free flash gallery that requires you to upload the files to my website but unfortunately my website doesnt
support php hosting of files and really dont know how else im going to do as I really like this gallery!

any advice will do

Thanks

Ps I'm hoping I can host the files somewhere else and embed the required code into my
website

otherwise you can search for a gallery using an .xml as small database, it should exist.

oh, it definitely exists.... although you'll have to upload your .xml and the image files it calls on each time you want to add/change out images.
if you're wanting something that allows you to manage your content through a back door admin panel, then you'll need php's. which means you'll have to transfer your hosting (domain can stay with whoever you have it with, if you want) to a provider that supports them.

a lot of hosting providers that do not support php and the likes, have sister companies that do support it and will be willing to help you do the switch effortlessly.

first thing i would do is open a customer support ticket, explain to them what your predicament is, and see if there's a solution they can offer.

Iker - Thanks for the link might give that ago as its free!!

tokiop & thanks for the tips guys really appreciated it I will do some more homework and see where it gets me!

I going to ask a silly question but here is a print screen of some coding from a flash gallery I've highlighted in green where its seems
the links to a server thats hosting the files should go! is it the ftp or http that gets inserted but not sure where the link would go for the swfobject.js link
will go! this is all new to me!



Thanks

The links are currently relative to your page path, so the browser is searching the files swfobject.js, flashgallery.swf etc in the same directory as your html page. It should be http links, ftp might be usable but it is not common use !

For file paths :
- " (nothing) "file.js -> relative path from your page's folder (can be "js/file.js" if it in sub-folder "js")
- "../"your-file.js -> relative path from your page's parent folder
- "/"your-file.js -> relative path from your own servers root (ie. tea-bag.com/file.js)
- "http://" other-server.com/file.js -> absolute path to the file in another server

so if you put swfobject.js in your page's directory it should work like this. It is a common javascript file to show flash files in html in a clean way, you can get it from deconcept if it is not included.

They talk about a flickr connection to get images, maybe it can be a nice solution if you don't want to change host and can't use php.

> iker nice link ! did you use their services yourself ? How is it doing ?

I am but just for testing purposes....it works great!
I have recommended to a couple of friends for their personal portfolios and they're really satisfied with the free service as well.

nice i'll test it when needed it can be usefull!
