For those of you interested in playing your slide shows on your own web site, but don't have the storage space to actually host the show I have a solution. The following instructions allow you to upload your show to Photodex and then link to it from within your own web site to play the show. For an example of what I mean,
click here.
Here is how I make the slide shows work on my site. It seems more complicated than it is. Once you do the first one the rest become a quick process.
First, copy the code below and place it in your web site code.
<script language="javascript" src="http://www.photodex.com/presenter.js"></script>
<script>PhotodexObject("ProShow","objectname","http://www.photodex.com/shows/59110_20050129021109.px",640,480); PresenterControls("objectname",640);</script>Now, upload your show to the Photodex web site using the "
Share Show" function within ProShow Gold. After the show has completely uploaded go to the Photodex web site and go to the "
Online Sharing" page. You'll need to login to see the information, but once you do you'll see your show listed. Click on it to get to the page on their site that has the show running. If you then click on "
View Page Source" from within your browsers menu options it will then display the html code for the page. Look down near the bottom third of the page for a line that looks like the one below:
<script>PhotodexObject("ProShow","ashow","http://www.photodex.com/shows/59110_20050501185241.html","580","435");</script>Note the long numbered html file above -
59110_20050501185241.html. This is your slide show file location.
Next, copy this portion only and paste it over the section of html code in your web page that is highlighted in red below.
Example:
Paste over the code highlighted below:
<script language="javascript" src="http://www.photodex.com/presenter.js"></script>
<script>PhotodexObject("ProShow","objectname","http://www.photodex.com/shows/
59110_20050129021109.px",640,480); PresenterControls("objectname",640);</script>
It should now look like this:
<script language="javascript" src="http://www.photodex.com/presenter.js"></script>
<script>PhotodexObject("ProShow","objectname","http://www.photodex.com/shows/
59110_20050501185241.html",640,480); PresenterControls("objectname",640);</script>
Now, change the html extension to px. It should look like this:
<script language="javascript" src="http://www.photodex.com/presenter.js"></script>
<script>PhotodexObject("ProShow","objectname","http://www.photodex.com/shows/
59110_20050501185241.px",640,480); PresenterControls("objectname",640);</script>
Save your page and upload it to your server. The slide show should work flawlessly.
Each time you create a new show, just follow the same instructions for each show getting the file location from the Photodex site.
Let me know if you have any questions.
