I added the module to a page and it just looks like an empty module - no icons/controls, no images, just an empty box with the title I gave it when I put it on the page.  I added sample images that came with the download to my images folder (including thumbs.db and gallery.xml) to see if it needed something to "chew on" to run, but no luck.  How can I access the functionality of the gallery?

 

Thanks -

Jeff

jeff,

 

Please open the dotnetgallerymodule.ascx file.

 

And make sure you spesify the correct image gallery folder.

 

Keep me posted.

 

 

I think the problem is better described as "it won't render" after reading some more posts.  Interestingly enough it does create the gallery.xml file in an empty folder when I hit the page.  I'm running on my local machine if that matters (again, from other posts that appears to matter but others are having trouble on their production machines).

Yes, it is the correct folder (I overcame that problem during initial setup).  Any other ideas greatly appreciated!

Adam -

 

I modified the instructions that came with the demo as follows (you'll see my additions as "JTP" something or other) as there were some ambiguities and other issues with them.  Do you see any of my "enhancements" as potentially causing a problem?

 

Thanks again -

 

 Jeff

 The file couldn't be accessed. This may be a security problem.

 

Jeff,

 

Your instruction is perfect for me.

 

If you have any further problems, I will check your site if you can send your site admin username/password to me.

 

 

Thanks Adam, but it's on my local machine - just trying the demo out.  Thanks for confirming that I interpreted the instructions correctly.  I don't think I will pursue the product further.  Thanks again.
