Phoca Forum

Ok im a Joomla noob working my way through a book with Joomla.

I installed Expose gallery YEY! it worked...
Got rid of it (was too fancy looking)

I installed Simple Image Gallery
Couldn't get it to work.
..Gave up

Trying Phoca Gallery
.1 install the plug in
.2 enable the plug in
.3 create directory in images/phocagallery full directory is (C:\Program Files\BitNami Joomla 1.5.x Stack\apps\joomla\htdocs\images\phocagallery) in case it helps
.4 i embed the code into an article with this code
{phocagallery view=switchimage|switchheight=360|switchwidth=480|basicimageid=71}

{phocagallery view=category|categoryid=15|limitstart=0|limitcount=5|detail=0|displayname=1|
displaydetail=1|displaydownload=1|imageshadow=shadow1|enableswitch=1}

After that i preview it and i get just a complete blank page no error no joomla template frame ...just white like notepad.

I am using the latest BitNami stack using windows XP and Joomla 1.5.

Hope somebody can help me...

Cheers

Did you install the Phoca Gallery Component? The plugin uses the component to display images.

Thanks I must have just installed the wrong thing.

I installed the component and its ALL GOOD.

I still get a blank page when I insert the code into an article... but i don't care now.
It goes when I create a new menu item... So long as it works, ill worry about how it works another day.
