TTG Highslide Gallery (PRO) 1.9.4 released

by theturninggate on January 31, 2010

TTG Highslide Gallery and TTG Highslide Gallery Pro 1.9.4 are now available. This update addresses a critical bug in 1.9.3 that caused the engine to become unresponsive for some LR2/Win users. In the Pro version, sales tax support has also been added to the transactionless shopping cart, configurable from within the config.php file.

To update existing galleries using the cart, you do not need to export your galleries again. Update the new config.php file, then overwrite your existing cart folders online.

v1.9.4 ( 2010-01-31 )
Fixes critical bug causing unresponsiveness of engine in LR2/Win.
Added support for sales tax to transactionless cart.

Hi Matt

I’m in the middle of redoing my website – nothing hugely different, but redesigning it in light of TTG Pages 3.4 and HighSlidePro 1.9.4 both of which will form the bulk of my website (apart froma link to my blog). I’m thinking of adding an extra page and using that to embed a cooliris wall of all the photos I have in my galleries. I need an RSS feed to generate that. Is there an easy way to do this given the templates I’m using?

My new website will be similar to my existing one which currently uses TTG Pages2 and an earlier version of HighSlidePro (I forget exactly which one), so I’m assuming that if there is an easy way to generate a rss feed from my existing website I can use that technique to generate a rss feed from my new one.

Am in ongoing awe of your ability to deliver in both design and functionality. I often get asked how I built my site – and I always point them in your direction. You’re a genius.

Regards
James

Hi James,

Each individual gallery already contains an RSS file of all images formatted for Cooliris. The best way to create a single wall would probably be to merge that information on one large RSS file. Unfortunately, there’s no automated way of doing that, as that file will be pointing to images hosted in different folders, so you’ll need to piece it together manually, changing image file paths as you go (which can probably be done using a batch replace operation on each source RSS file before copying the code).

Glad to hear you’re getting so much use out of the engines, and recommending them to others. Word of mouth is the best advertising there is, and I very much appreciate it. :-)

Cheers,
Matt
