Thread: Zoomify Design Viewer

I hope someone can help me here:

I purchased the zoomify design viewer for use on my website. When I upload the zoomifyDesignViewer.swf file to my server, and reference the file from my code, the viewer works ONE TIME ONLY. After that, when I refresh the page, it displays the zoomify logo instead of my image. If I use the free version – zoomifyViewer.swf, it works all the time, but the toolbar buttons and flash logo are not removeable.

Thanks so much

Couple of things:
Did you use that on your product images?
How did you referenced that from your code?
What file exactly?
Can we view that from your site to see what's really the problem?

Yes, I'm using this on my product images.

I simply changed the swf file in the images folder to the new file zoomifyDesignViewer.swf, and changed the src and data fields in the zoomify.medium.xml.config to match.

The strange thing is that it works the first time the page loads, but not on sebsequent loads.

For now, I reverted back to the old functionality, as this is a live site, and this at least displays the images. So I cannot direct you to a url to see this in action.

TIA

Here is a link to my live site.

Currrently, there is no picture displayed, only the navigating bar.

Please let me know as soon as you've looked t it, so I can take it down

Thanks a lot

Right now, I got it working in IE, but not firefox, and it seems like the issue is that there is no embed tag. So I am trying to add one in, and running into some syntax trouble.

Here is the code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" class="">
<xsl:attribute name="width"><xsl:value-of select="$width" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="height"><xsl:value-of select="$height" /></xsl:attribute>
<param name="FlashVars">
<xsl:attribute name="value">zoomifyImagePath=<xsl:value-of select="$ImagePath" />
</xsl:attribute>
</param>
<param name="src" value="images/ZoomifyDesignViewer.swf" />

<xsl:if test="$AltSrc!=''">
<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of select="$AltSrc" /></xsl:attribute>
</img>
</xsl:if>

<embed flashvars="zoomifyImagePath=C:\Users\SuriN\Desktop\smallExampleImageToConvert" src="ZoomifyDesignViewer.swf" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="200" name="ZoomifyDesignViewer"></embed> </object>



What I need to do is replace the bolded text above with this:

=<xsl:value-of select="$ImagePath" />

Can you help me with the tag formatting?

OK. Here is my code, which works in ie. In firefox, there is NO sign of any flash. No scroolbar, no Image, and No Zoomify:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" class="">
<xsl:attribute name="width"><xsl:value-of select="$width" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="height"><xsl:value-of select="$height" /></xsl:attribute>
<param name="FlashVars">
<xsl:attribute name="value">zoomifyImagePath=<xsl:value-of select="$ImagePath" />
</xsl:attribute>
</param>
<param name="src" value="images/ZoomifyDesignViewer.swf" />

<!--<xsl:if test="$AltSrc!=''">
<img>
<xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of select="$AltSrc" /></xsl:attribute>
</img>
</xsl:if>-->

<embed flashvars="zoomifyImagePath={$ImagePath}" src="images/ZoomifyDesignViewer.swf" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="250" height="250" name="images/ZoomifyDesignViewer.swf"></embed>


</object>

If you're struggling with getting it working in all browsers, try Magic Touch instead. It is activated from your large and small product images so no need to create or amend any SWFs.

It's in use on a few ASPDotNetStorefront sites.

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I need to get this program working on all browsers. So far, I've been able to get ti working in IE, but there is no sign of it in Firefox. The code has been posted in my previous post. The html output (from view source in the browser) looks good -- the object and embed parameters are identical.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance
