No expansion of thumb, keeps loading

Gallery nicely published into webpage :D , but upon click thumbnail keeps loading, no large image appears! :cry:

I have tried FAQ steps 1-2-4 (5-6 not relevant): pictures are uploaded, case of filename matches, outline graphics are uploaded, filepaths have been changed.
I don't understand 3: "check that the hs.graphicsDir setting is correct. I have copied the given code into head section and div of page.
Do I have to change anything else in the top of the HTML file?
Thanx for helping me out! :roll:

Re: No expansion of thumb, keeps loading

Inside the highslide.config.js file you will find this line:

Code: Select all

hs.graphicsDir = 'highslide/graphics/'
The path must point to the graphics folder. Try this:

Code: Select all

hs.graphicsDir = '../highslide/graphics/'

Re: No expansion of thumb, keeps loading

Thank you for your help :!:
I have changed the file in the external folder - at least I thought I did - but nothing happens w/the thumbs and when I use the "view JS" tab of my webdevelopers tool in Firefox it seems like I still got the old path. I feel so dumb, but what I am I doing wrong here?

Re: No expansion of thumb, keeps loading

I donÔÇÖt know what you did wrong. The corrected path should be there if you changed the path inside the file and uploaded it to your server.
You can try adding the correct path in a script tag below the included highslide js files between the head tags like this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="../highslide/highslide-with-gallery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../highslide/highslide.config.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
hs.graphicsDir = '../highslide/graphics/';
</script>

Re: No expansion of thumb, keeps loading

Hi,
You need to open highslide.config.js and change this line:

Code: Select all

hs.graphicsDir = '../highslide/graphics/'; 
to this:

Code: Select all

hs.graphicsDir = 'highslide/graphics/'; 
It also looks like your large images arenÔÇÖt uploaded to the server. I get 404 Not Found when trying to access your large images.

Re: No expansion of thumb, keeps loading

You have this in your highslide.config.js file ÔÇô remove the part marked red:
hs.graphicsDir = 'highslide/graphics/';';
The second thumb is still missing the large image.
It also seems like the outlines folder is missing. (highslide/graphics/outlines)
