Can't Access My Slideshow Thru Editor-Config.txt File

I am unable to access my slideshow settings using the URL provided in the editor-config.txt file - all I get are the pages I'd need to create a new project. Is this URL only viable during the first 30 days after I create my slideshow? (I created it last summer) I want to add 1 photo to my slideshow and edit a couple of captions. I use Dreamweaver for my editing - is it possible to make these changes directly in Dreamweaver rather than having to go through all the 'unzipping', etc.? Here's the webpage: http://www.anthonylobello.com/photos1-skating.htm

Hi,

Your gallery setup is still accessible with the url from editor-config.txt (click the Get started button after youÔÇÖve launched the Editor from the url in your .txt file), but your images were deleted from our server after 30 days. The captions are never stored at our server.

You can edit your captions in code view in Dreamweaver. The captions are the title attributes in the HTML markup.

You can easily add a new image to your gallery by copying the HTML markup for an existing image, paste it and replace the thumbnail and large image with your new images. (The thumbnail is 100x100px.)

Thanks, Roadrash - I figured it HAD to be possible. I *think* I understand the last part, "You can easily add a new image to your gallery by copying the HTML markup for an existing image, paste it and replace the thumbnail and large image with your new images. (The thumbnail is 100x100px.)"...

I know just enough about coding to be 'dangerous'. So - can you explain more about, "The captions are the title attributes in the HTML markup."?

This is the markup for the first image in your gallery ÔÇô the highlighted parts are the title attributes (and the captions). IÔÇÖm not sure why youÔÇÖve have the title attribute twice, but change the text both places to be sure:

Code: Select all

<li> <a href="highslide/images-ice/large/Copyofpivot-2008.jpg" class="highslide" 
	[hilight]title="Photoshoot at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, Utah.  Photo by Brian Nicholson"[/hilight] 
	onclick="return hs.expand(this, config1 )"> <img src="highslide/images-ice/thumbs/Copyofpivot-2008.jpg"  alt="" [hilight]title="US Speedskating team at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, Utah.  Photo by Brian Nicholson"[/hilight]/> 
</a> </li>
