How to load a product with a different settings.xml file

How SWF and XMLs interact

The product's SWF file loads by default the settings.xml file which contains all the parameters of the component. You can rename this file but you have to specify the new name using the following code:

var flashvars = {};
flashvars.settingsXML = "your_name.xml";

like in this example for the 3D Banner FX:

<div id="Div3DBannerFX"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var flashvars = {};
 flashvars.settingsXML = "your_name.xml";
 var params = {};
 params.base = "";
 params.scale = "noscale";
 params.salign = "tl";
 params.wmode = "transparent";
 params.allowFullScreen = "true";
 params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
 swfobject.embedSWF("3DBannerFX.swf", "Div3DBannerFX", "600", "374", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params);
</script>

The assets (images, videos, text etc.) displayed by the product are specified in the images.xml (or menu.xml, videos.xml, big.xml, media.xml for other products). You can also rename this file but you have to specify in the settings.xml file through assets element what's the new name, like this example:

assets value="your_name_images.xml"

The Banner Rotator FX, Dock Menu FX and 3D Carousel Menu AS2 FX has imagesXML instead of assets element in the settings.xml file. The Video Player FX has media_url.

Hi,

You need to follow the Installation Instructions from the product’s page. We, also, have a video tutorial about how to add our Joomla module.
If still does not work send us the link to your website and we will check where the problem is.

Hi,

The component is made to be installed with a simple text editor, and is not created to be directly implemented with secondary software. Where are you encountering difficulties?

Hi!
First, let me say your component is O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G!

The problem is:
i’m using joomla 1.5 with the DockGallery and work perfectly. I also want to show gallery in full screen mode and i’ve added a link in the article to your index.html. The index.html works properly with settings.xml but when i want to see indexprimula.html (modified version with settingprimula.xml) is showed the “setttings.xml” gallery…

The only difference between index and indexprimula is:
...
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.settingsXML = “settingprimula.xml”; <— this line
...

Thank you in advice!

Hi,

The gallery components have 3 settings.XML file, a general one, one which controls the image slider, one to control the expanded image. You will need to creat new settings.XML files in the holder and dockMenu folders, and put the link to each of the 3 settings.XML files.

flashvars.settingsXML = "settings2.xml";
    flashvars.gallerySettingsXML = "holder/settings2.xml";
    flashvars.navigationSettingsXML = "dockMenu/settings2.xml";

Hi, I’m using the 3d carousel and I renamed everything and told the settings.xml file to redirect to my images.xml file that I renamed so that I could have multiple carousels on my website. I’m just having trouble with the HTML. Here is the code that I have entered in the program:

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, and I’ve triple checked al of the filenames to make sure that they redirect the right way. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

Send us the link to your website and we will check it out.
