- Description
SimpleViewer is a skin for jAlbum (minimum version required v11.6) based around SimpleViewer Inc.'s SimpleViewer-Standard Image Viewer (v2.3.2).
The skin also includes the option to use SimpleViewer Inc.'s Flash Image Viewers (AutoViewer, PostcardViewer and TiltViewer). It is fully customizable, has support for many of jAlbum's built-in filters (including the watermark filter) and has features such as a JavaScript navigation tree and the ability to use a header, footer and overlay.
The skin generates W3C valid code (HTML 5 and CSS Level 3).
Please visit the SimpleViewer Skin Support Forum for more information.
Please note that using the 'Highlight New Files' functionality (on the skin's 'New' tab) forces a complete rebuild of the album which may take some time if the album contains many images.

Bugfixes:<br>
(1) Default header and footer background colors now match the menu and
gallery background color (#333333)<br>
(2) Preview button in JAlbum GUI did not work if menu/header/footer was
not selected as 'index.html' was not generated. Now, if
menu/header/footer is not selected, then 'index.html' is generated
redirecting the browser to the gallery in the root output folder.<br>
(3) Gallery background color did not display if background image via CSS
was selected (background color is still required if background image
does not fill the gallery block)<br>
(4) Image count after tree folder label displayed '0' regardless of the
number of images in the folder<br>
(5) Changed internal structure of skin to avoid 'gallery.xml' being
created in folders that contain no images<br>
(6) Included 0-byte file 'slide.htt' to avoid JAlbum thowing an error
during album creation if 'Make Slides' checkbox (on 'Navigation' tab) is
selected. (The 'Make Slides' checkbox is deselected by default and
ought to stay deselected for the SimpleViewer skin.)<br>
New:<br>

image (on 'Background' tab) for folders that contain no images (ideal as
a start page in an empty root folder)<br>

false by default)<br>
(3) Option to display a default page for any subfolders that contain no
images (on 'Tree 1' tab)<br>
Changes:<br>
(1) Changed several skin GUI tooltip text entries<br>
(2) 'Include JAlbum Widget Support' (on 'Advanced/Metadata' tab) set to
false by default in 'hints.jap'<br>
(3) Output gallery filename has changed from 'slide.html' to
'gallery.html' as 'slide.html' implies that it was generated from
'slide.htt', which is a reserved filename, used by JAlbum if the 'Make
Slides' checkbox is selected (see Bugfix #6)

(4) Font family names which contain spaces are now enclosed in quotes to conform with standards<br>
(5) Completely empty folders in the source are no longer assigned a node on the navigation tree (which mirrors the behaviour of JAlbum itself)<br>

New:<br>
(1) Optional tooltip text help for all fields in the skin GUI (in 'Global' tab)<br>
(2) Ability to link directly to galleries (slide.html files) in subfolders<br>
(3) Ability to link directly to individual images within galleries (see 'directlinking.txt' in the skin folder for details)<br>

If it is not selected and text extends beyond the boundary of menu block, a horizontal scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the browser window. NB Tree text being wrapped will disrupt the structure of the tree.<br>
Changes:<br>
(1) Changed several labels in the skin GUI to be more descriptive<br>
(2) All folders that contain no images but do contain other folders are assigned a blank page containing the 'Album Title' from the 'Title' tab in the skin GUI

(6) Date and Time caption only showed date<br>
(7) Deleted remnant of now non-existant out.print command found in sv.htt (present in v3.6.0)<br>

(3) Changed the default color scheme to reflect the true SimpleViewer default background color (#333333)<br>
(4) Merged blank.htt and sv.htt into one file<br>

(3) Left Margin option for menu layout to bring text in from the edge of the browser window<br>

(6) 'Display File Numbers' caption option (eg 'Image 1 Of 10') beneath 'File Names' caption<br>
(7) 'Display Overlay' feature to display text in SimpleViewer space (with optional link to web page or email) useful to create parent link in single gallery where SimpleViewer is displayed full screen and not in an iframe (when menu, header and footer are not selected)<br>
Changes:<br>
(1) Layout now handled by CSS rather than a frameset and SimpleViewer is now displayed in an iframe (if menu, header or footer are selected)<br>

(3) New "Loading..." dialog box for skin (being that it takes a few
seconds to load onload.bsh)<br>

(1)Changed the Photo link so that it shows up blue in color and underlined like people expect links to be... user-friendly.<p>
(2)Changed the layout of the Skin Tab so that the options will show better on screens with lower resolution.
3.1.0 Jul 16, 2008
Ok, sorry but it seems as though my zip program failed to include a vital folder in release 3.0.0 so here is one that should work + it has some new features and fixes, again, thanks to Monkeyboy.
<p>
Bugfixes:<br>
(1) Lightbox link (in header and footer) did not work if "Display Menu" was not selected.<br>
(2) Various other little things
<p>
Changes:<br>
(1) Removed all dotted lines around links for a cleaner web page <br>
(2) Added the word "Percentage" for header, footer and menu frame sizes.<br>
(3) Removed unused files from res folder to make release smaller.
<p>
New Features:<br>
(1) User changeable font size for menu frame text (not tree text due to tree dotted lines separating and not looking good if font size is larger than 12px), caption text and gallery title text.<br>
(2) Added script.aculo.us animations for opening and closing nodes on dtree (4 different actions for both)<br>
3.0.0 Jul 16, 2008
Many thanks to Monkeyboy for this update. He has completely re-worked the the skin to include the following enhancements:
(1) Uses SimpleViewer 1.85 (free version) and interface allows all variables which can be passed directly onto Simpleviewer to be altered.
(2) Uses SWFObject 2.1 (not backwards compatible with 1.5)
(3) Interface allows horizontal/vertical menu frame (or no menu, ie no frames) with addition options (homepage link, copyright text, display total image count) NB "Menu Size" is now a percentage of total screen.
(4) SimpleViewer frame can have header and/or footer (sizes are percentages of frame) and text in header/footer can be linked to a Lightbox2 image (eg to show a credits box image)
(5) All three caption options (date, exif info and filename) can be used together if desired
(6) All dtree options are in the interface (including Icons)
(7) Now handles .png and .gif files
(8) And many, many, more!
Have fun customizing, almost everything is configurable in the Skin tab.
2.2.0 Jul 1, 2008
Fixed the issue where index2.htm needed to be manually uploaded to the website. index2.htm will now be created automatically each time you create an album with SimpleViewer. As it did in the past, this feature will allow you to direct link to an album and have it open within the menu tree frameset for easier user navigation.
See the included read me file for additional directions.
This version change does not affect the non-frames version of SimpleViewer which remains at version 2.1.2
2.1.2 Jun 21, 2008
Tahoma is now the default font. This can be edited by opening the .htt files and changing the font to whatever you wish. The no_frames version can be downloaded at http://simpleviewer.rivardweb.com/
2.1.1 Jun 14, 2008
Version 2.1.0 would not install correctly because the zip folder was not properly formatted. This one should work fine.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
2.1.0 Jun 13, 2008
With the help of EarlyOut I've finally fixed the issue where custom album colors would not save when the album was saved. It now works as it should.
2.0.0 Oct 16, 2007
Even though this is not a major revision I upped it to ver. 2.0.0 from 1.1.1 because I am changing the naming convention of Simple Viewer. The version available on JAlbum will only be the framed version. The non-framed version will only be available on the Simple Viewer support site: http://simpleviewer.rivardweb.com/.
Version 2.0.0 will allow the user to name the sub albums by using the JAlbum interface. It will take the title of the sub album folders and use it as the title of the output album. Thank you Albert for this fix.
1.1.1 Aug 17, 2007
This version of simple viewer has no appearance changes from 1.0.1. This version is intended for users who wish for the menu frame to load every time the album is loaded, even if the album is linked to directly. If the album (sv.htm) is linked to directly, the album being called will set a cookie in the users computer and then reload within the frameset so that the menu frame is visible to the left of the album. If you do not wish to have this functionality, download and use Simple Viewer 1.1.0, it is otherwise identicle to 1.1.1. Please view the "ReadMe1st.txt for more info.
1.1.0 Aug 17, 2007
No appearance change from 1.0.1, however, this skin will no longer call "index2.htm" when the album is linked to directly. This version will open the album as a stand-alone page without the menu to the left. If you wish to have the menu always appear when you link directly to an album then you need version 1.1.1 of Simple Viewer. Otherwise this version and 1.1.0 are the same.
1.0.1 Jul 4, 2007
Fixed the problem that kept the background image from showing on subdirectories.
1.0 Jul 3, 2007
For now the skin will only apply the background image to the root directory - I'm working on this. Also Simple Viewer 1.8 supports right click to view pictures in a new window which will allow them to be downloaded by viewers unlike Simple Viewer 1.7.
