In reply to: iimage_browser : nice thumbnail > link > popup hackThis does absolutely nothing in iimage browser 1.4.6. Or maybe it’s just me. I don’t know.
I would love it if someone would tell me how to make custom sized popups manually. If that is possible. Mine have the same size as the window it pops up from. Which isn’t very nice.

In reply to: Lazy-Gallery subfolders possible?Great to hear that you have solved it already! Very fast work, I’m impressed! My file however, looks different from yours. I have taken you up on your kind offer to have me mail it over so that you may have a look at it. Thank you!

In reply to: Lazy-Gallery subfolders possible?Hmmm. Yes. I forgot to say… I did make it work to some degree, but I can’t make the subfolders display with folder icons like they do if they are just one level folders within the gallery. (I suppose I should refer to what I’m trying to achieve as sub-sub folders).
When I put a folder icon image within a sub-sub folder, that folder does not make use of that icon image as an icon. Instead it displays withing the folder like any normal image in there. I see that you have chosen to use thumbnails as folder icons in your gallery. Myself I prefer to use the option to have a folder icon that makes the folder look like a folder. Otherwise I think it may be confusing in a large gallery what is a folder and what is an image.
Thank you for answering!

In reply to: Am I root or not? (OSX 10.4.2)Ok… I installed a thing called MAMP, and about 2 minutes later every frustration I’ve ever had relateing to PHP, MySql and Apache had vanished. I don’t even need to have root enabled on this thing for it to work. http://127.0.0.1/~your_username/test.php

In reply to: OSX install… and my inferior brainThis Mamp thing saved my life! Suddenly everything works after so many days of frustration. Thanks for that tip!

In reply to: Adding streaming video to a postHere is another idea: What if I create a thumbnail and then have it so that people can click on it and see the video in a popup window. That would look great. And I could have many videos listed on one page.
But how to make popup pages that has a set window size and plays a movie file? If anyone knows this, I would love to know. Thanks.

In reply to: Am I root or not? (OSX 10.4.2)Ok. Did that. I was very optimistic when I read your answer, estjohn, since I remember setting some kind of root something on the old Mac when it was new (and dinosaurs ruled the earth).
However… it hasn’t immediately solved anything.
To be on the safe side, I did all the steps in macmanx’ link above. I even did the change root password bit (/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password yourpasswordhere), which gave me this error:
error: ‘Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)’Strange symptom: When I use show databases; the database testzone is not listed. Nevertheless I just deleted it and recreated it, so I know it is there.
Another symptom: the MySql system preference pane which wouldn’t start mysql on startup before my latest OS upgrade, now refuse to stop MySql.
The only thing I have accomplished, is to add the user root, which screws up my comfortable autologon. I now have to manually click on my user icon and type my password whenever I start my computer.

In reply to: Am I root or not? (OSX 10.4.2)That’s the way I did it. I used that very page for reference. Only difference is that when the tutorial reach this part:
‘/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password yourpasswordhere’
I get an error message:
connect to server ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)’This was a part I was thinking of when I wrote “I have earlier also tried to change password for root….”
When I got this error message I tried other tutorials that had different commands for doing the same thing. They said something about the password having to be changed into an older mysql version format. I think that was what it said. Had about 20 different pages open so I closed them after they each failed me.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding streaming video to a postIt’s not a question of it causing irreparable damage. I just want to see if there is a better way of doing it. Errors indicate that something is not working perfectly. Errors are bad.

In reply to: Adding streaming video to a postNo, that one won’t do. Cannot play videos directly. They will each have to be converted to .flv files using a program that doesn’t run on a Mac. I have a Mac. I’m looking for a way to embed videos as they are. Something that doesn’t cost money or require external hosting.

In reply to: Adding streaming video to a postNo, I’m afraid that didn’t solve it, except for the center-error going away. Still get 13 different errors. Removing all the quotes reduce this to 5 errors, 4 of which are related to the start of the movie path itself. “there is no attribute src”, it says. Sigh. Wish I had a bigger brain.
The other complaints are:
an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified.
NET-enabling start-tag not immediately followed by null end-tag.
element “embed” undefined.
end tag for element “embed” which is not open.

In reply to: Adding streaming video to a postHmmm. No. Quoting attribute values increases the number of validation errors from 6 to 13. I did try everything in lowercase as well, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Also I don’t know what to use instead of center. Maybe define a class for it and center it in the css?
Maybe I should try a plugin to do my embedding? Has anyone had any experience with any of them? Fallen Media Filter perhaps?
Thank you lynk for your suggestions.

In reply to: Adding streaming video to a postrafleet, that can’t be right. It doesn’t validate at all, at least not for me. I had to put in some extra parameters in order to have the player controls display properly. It still doesn’t validate tho, starting with the first div center tag. (“an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified.”)
Could someone please have a look?
The embed code is now:<div align=center>
<embed SRC=http://www.siteadress/video/Movie.mp4 WIDTH=352 HEIGHT=288 AUTOPLAY=false CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false playeveryframe=false moviename=Movie.mp4 kioskmode=false targetcache=false pluginspage=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ scale=TOFIT></embed>
Click PLAY to see the film.
