Title: Interactive Galleries
Post by: cascoly on July 27, 2014, 16:59
I've created a new feature gallery feature using the Global Search.  You can use it in 2 ways -- from the Global search, or embedded thru html

From the global search:
-----------------------
http://cascoly.com/symbio/symbiostock-advanced.asp (http://cascoly.com/symbio/symbiostock-advanced.asp)

Choose Gallery display and select one of the Co-op sites.  As with the standard search, you can use the result to make static contact sheets.
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/custom-contact-sheets-for-seo/ (http://cascoly-images.com/pix/custom-contact-sheets-for-seo/)

Embedded Url
----------------
You can also embed a gallery in your sym site, or external website by using the special link:

http: //cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=129&w=4&word=myword1&word2=myword2&site=http://mysite.com

Replace myword1 and myword2 with the words you want to search.  If you only want to search one word, then delete the string 'word2=myword2&'.  Enter your symbiostock site. Test the url and then insert it in html like this:
 

"<li><a href=http://  cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=129&w=4&word=urfa&word2=men&site=http://turkey.symbiostock-network.com>Urfa men[/url]"

And you can place this anywhere that accepts html

eg  http://cascoly.com/trav/panoramas.asp (http://cascoly.com/trav/panoramas.asp)

I also added it as a text widget that will display in the image page sidebar under the 'download now' button

eg
http://turkey.symbiostock-network.com/image/giant-head-of-antiochus-i-commagenetumulus-of-nemrut-dag-turkey-6/ (http://turkey.symbiostock-network.com/image/giant-head-of-antiochus-i-commagenetumulus-of-nemrut-dag-turkey-6/)

I tried to use this (Chrome & Firefox, Mac) and couldn't get anything to display - clicking the Go button didn't produce anything (or appear to be trying to access anything - no status messages or Connecting...).

I tried one or two keywords, different sites from the dropdown list and thumbs as well as Gallery.

thanks, I use IE  but will test with chrome & firefox; don't know why it should matter since it's simple html -- did the links listed not work?   

what keywords did you use?  since these are individual sites, more generic keywords like 'food' are likeliest to work

I used your first link and if I type a keyword (I used beach but food worked too) and press return then I get your global search. It's pressing on the Go button next to the site name that does nothing.

thanks - both methods are still working ok with IE, so it must be a browser thing i'll have to run down...

it's probably related to forms handling
have you been able to use  the direct links like

http://  cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=129&w=4&word=urfa&word2=men&site=http://turkey.symbiostock-network.com

(remove the space before 'cascoly')

I played with the form a bit and it's working under chrome & firefox now -- still not sure why  the earlier version didn't work.

Seems to work for me now - both using the original link you posted and taking the space from the URL in your post above.
