can someone explain a step-by-step workflow of how to implement, say, a thumbnail grid of Director album pics that expanded into large versions in lightbox 2, all being triggered by a one-line code in a custom field of a wordpress post? i'm simply not a coder, more of a code-snippeter.

i'm trying to figure out one error with sspdc so far, so it won't activate as of yet. in the meantime, is there code snippets to put into posts that tap into the Director API somehow? it's for advanced users, but i haven't found a practical example of how beginners could use it yet. somehow that achieves the plugin shown above, which would be my answer if and when i get it to work on my configuration...
thanks for the help. any other thoughts?

there have been a few of us on the SSPDC wordpress plugin page that have had this problem when trying to activate the plugin. I get this error message:

Code:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/c/s/i/csinclair1/html/wp-content/plugins/slideshowpro-director-connector/classes/DirectorPHP.php on line 12

i've seen similar thread that pose problems with the directory path of DirectorPHP.php
is this a similar issue i might be having?

Looks like you don't have PHP 5, which is required for the DirectorPHP class and thus the Wordpress plugin.

I'm really excited to find this. Now I should be able to throw in an e-cart system on top of this

I'm wondering if there's a way to add SSPDC in multiple widgets. Currently it's only allowing to do it once.

When I go into wordpress to enter the director api, there is not enough space in the field to enter the full length of the API path.. any ideas?

1) You'll need to navigate to where you installed the SSPDC plugin and find the file 'sspdc.php' [wp-content/plugins/slideshowpro-director-connector/]
2) Find and edit the following code: <input id="sspdc_api_key" name="sspdc_api_key" type="text" size="40" maxlength="40" value="<?php echo get_option('sspdc_api_key'); ?>" />
3) Change maxlength="80" and save.

That should do it.

Question: I installed the SSPDC plugin (0.9.5) into my WP 2.7.1 installation, activated it, added my API key and path. It said everything was OK, and that:
Great! PHP 5 is available. Version: 5.2.8
Cool! PHP curl is installed. Version: 7.19.3

When I try to insert an album in a post, though, the SSPDC tool comes up fine but there are no albums listed at all. When I click on the button I get an error message in the browser on both Mac Safari ad Windows Explorer systems. In Windows Firefox I can see a "transferring data" pop up, but nothing else happens. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks--

i'm pretty sure it's a cross-domain thing. to get it to work, i had to use an astrix to accept from all domains, after failing at entering other paths. this is what i used that finally made it work:
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>

sorry - I dont get it....ahhhh

installed wp 2.7.1 with slidepress and slideshowpro-director-connector
activated plugins and created the slideshowpro.swf and those folders he wanted in slidepress.

so now he still askes me for the default.xml but i use the director.

Anyway... my main question is: what is the API path? Example please
and I guess the api key is the key in my account to use the ssp director right?
e.g. 2517a38f1c4........

plz help quick.. thanks guys

I installed the SSDC plug, chose "insert Media", and when choose an album, I get this error:

Code:

Warning: DirectorUtils::decode() [directorutils.decode]: Cannot assign to an array of nodes (duplicate subnodes or attr detected) in /xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/wp-content/plugins/slideshowpro-director-connector/classes/Utils.php on line 48

The error repeats itself down the dialog about as many times as there are images in the album.
what does it all mean?

In the "API Path" field, try using "localhost/ssp_director" in place of "[your domain]/ssp_director" ... this was the fix for me to get albums to show up in the SSPDC tool.
