Stack Photo Gallery - Configuring the gallery

Starting the Work

To start working simply paste object HTML into your page and setup xml configuration file. You can place configuration file anywhere on your server.

Configuring the gallery

An XML file is used to configure the gallery. By editing the XML file, you can add or remove gallery images as well as edit multiple appearance and behavior settings. The format of the XML file is described below.

Gallery settings are described in the <settings></settings> tag of the XML file as follows: <parameter name> parameter value </parameter name>.

For example, the frame color is configured using the <frameColor>0xFFFFFF</frameColor> tag.

The image file information is contained in the <items> </items> structure.

<items>
<item source="..." description="..." link="..." target="..."/>
<item source="..." description="..." link="..." target="..."/>
<item source="..." description="..."/>
................................................
</items>

item source — Image name;
description — Image description;
link — link to the web-page;
target — controls where the new document will be displayed

possible values:
"_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
"_blank" specifies a new window.
"_parent" specifies the parent of the current frame.
"_top" specifies the top-level frame in the current window.
