Help included for free website applet.

[bikerads]

Having followed the instructions included in the xatshow help to upload my slideshow to my website, the applet did'nt work. I have spent days trying to rectify the problem and have finally achieved a working applet. For anyone who needs help, please try the following:
For this example our website is called yourwebsite.com
1 . Before uploading the xat show files to your website, create a folder in your website directory and name it classes, if you intend creating more than one slideshow than use subfolders:
www.yourwebsite.com/flowers/classes
www.yourwebsite.com/birds/classes
Upload all the files created by xatshow to the relevant classes folder.

2.Having copied the html code to the clipboard in xatshow, paste the code to the page on your website where you want the slideshow to appear. Now using your html editor amend the archive code and basecode to include the path to your website and the classes folder
For example
a) amend <applet archive="xatshowApplet.jar" to read <applet archive="http://www.yourwebsite.com/flowers/classes/xatshowApplet.jar"
b) amend codebase="." to read codebase="http://www.yourwebsite.com/flowers/classes

If this helps please let me know by replying to this thread, maybe the administrators will make the thread sticky to help other newcomers.

Hello,

I read through and followed the directions above, however it isn't working on my site. Now, I make a different folder change - I have it set up:

applet archive="http://www.mysite.com/classes/indianridge/xatshowApplet.jar (instead of http://www.mysite.com/indianridge/classes/xatshowApplet.jar)

codebase="http://www.mysite.com/classes/indianridge"

I have all my files (all pictures & xatshowApplet.jar) in the classes/indianridge folder on the web directory.

Do I need to create a indianridge/classes folder and put everything in that? Does it make a difference?

I have it set up like I do so that when I make my other slideshow, I can just put it in classes/newslideshow...

Thank you so much in advance!

That sounds ok, it should work. Can you send me the url or PM it to me so I can take a look? Chris.
