Using the simple image gallery in Joomla 1.5.7

[HodgeHi]

I hope everyone is well on this Sunday afternoon.

 

I have been looking at my Joomla install and have just looked into the Image gallery thing.

 

I though i would test it out. So i went to the welcome article and added the gallery/folder line that i read to do in the user guide menu. But upon reloading the page found it just displayed the same line. Do i have to edit the raw html and then add the line or do i need to do something else beforehand.

 

The example in the user guide menu works OK but not mine. I used the templates folder to test with. Does this matter?

OK. I thin kits something i need to do to the article i am creating to get this to work.

I have copied the exact same code entered into the example given on the lightbox gallery example page but mine still show the line of code.

 

What i think i need to do is add the Simple Image gallery module to that page as well?

 

I just can't find where the module sits in the backend. I think i need to check whether it is also enabled although i think it is since the example page works fine.

 

Any help appreciated.

Yep Here you go:

It may be blocked though as it uses the .nu extension. I think most filtering sites block these domain extensions since they are usually used for proxy bypass sites.

[HodgeHi]

I have updated my site to 1.5.7 as there are a few security concerns.

 

The example page works as expected so does that mean that the permissions are correct since i am trying the same folder?

 

Also does this mean that the plugin is working and enabled since the example page loads the images as expected?

 

I may look at a few others. Are there any recommendations. Also on a related note. I have read only access by the internet group to my folders. This means i cannot upload images and files to my site. Do i allow write access to these folders? If so what are the security implications of doing this?

 

Thanks for your help by the way.
