Can anyone explain how one adds the gallery to a web page after exporting in VRML:

Yes! Upload all exported files (my_holidays_gallery.wrl and my_holidays_gallery_files folder) to your web site and simply link to uploaded wrl-file.
VRML-files can be viewed in all the most popular browsers with Cortona plugin, for example (http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/cortona/).

I only found out about this software yesterday, and what an excellent product it is - and my favourite price too!

Following this advice from Maxim, I have managed to load a test gallery: http://www.lynbarn.org/gallery but, apart from the quality of image not being as good as the PC version (which I think I can adjust) I haven't found a way to select any of the images, and see the caption / descriptions that I've added. I know the VRML feature is only in beta, so there isn't much to help on the help page, but is this possible?

Apart from Cortona, are there other plug-ins that users can recommend?

Regards,

Hello, Lynbarn. Thank you for respect!
Yes, these all are limitations of beta. But in the next versions that will be certainly improved!
Textures quality is planned to be increased using extensions of VRML language.
And full size images with comments will be made using simple HTML.
So, stay tuned! :wink:

This may have been covered elsewhere, but the WRL works pretty good in IE7, but not in Firefox2.0. At least I can't get the graphics file to load within a reasonable time. The files folder is only 14.4M and on IE7 it loads very quickly with my highspeed connection, but not so on Firefox.

Can someone confirm or refute that it "works" on Firefox2.0?

Yes, Firefox fails to load images by relative paths...
I’ve written mail to Parallel Graphics. Let’s see what they will answer...

Many of my websites use relative paths with graphics and they show up fine on Firefox2.0.

Exactly!
I wanted to say "Cortona plug-in for Firefox". :wink:

I've got SOOOO many people asking for sound backup to the galleries. When are we realistically going to see that (or "hear" that) ?

Unfortunately time limits of My Pictures 3D Album with music support in exe-galleries are still fuzzy...

But in VRML it’s possible to do already now! :wink:

Just split web-page into frames: one for wrl-gallery, second for music. Like this:

(!empty($user->lang['CODE'])) ? $user->lang['CODE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'CODE'))):

<html>
<head>
<title>My Pictures 3D</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="0, *">
 <frame src="musicplayer.htm" frameborder="0">
 <frame src="gallery.wrl" frameborder="0">
</frameset>
</html>

I haven’t tried this, but sure this should work (probably with some little modifications).

Parallel Graphics has replied. Cortona plug-in for Firefox doesn’t support back slashes. So now you can simply replace all \ by /. And wrl-files exported by next version of My Pictures 3D Album will contain only forward slashes.

OK. Thanks for checking it out. Hopefully the upgrade will come out soon.

In the meantime, I'll do the changes necessary.

Hi, Diny here. I have managed to upload my gallery files and the gallery.wrl to my site, and put a link to the .wrl, but it won't open, popup says it doesn't recognize wrl files. I read something about a plugin? Do I need that ? I use IE7...and do any viewers of my website need that also?
and where should I get it, and where do I install it?
Hope to get a clear answer, I am very new in this

Thanks!

Yes, even in case of IE7 you (as well as visitors of your site) have to download Cortona VRML Viewer. You can get and install it here: http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/cortona/.

OK, I already know that I am stupid. But, VRML & WRL don't mean a damn thing to me. After reading all the relevant posts have since downloaded http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/cortona/. But, were do I go from here.

Please, please help me make my online gallery happen.

PS Am I right in thinking that the music I have included in my 3D screen saver won't happen online?
