Caliosun, sorry I have not looked into uploading the images via the wordpress admin area. Being that I had a large amount of images to work with, it was a lot more efficient to hard-code the images into the page.

Leandro, Galleriffic publishes a step by step with the code online:

The biggest changes to get it to work with WordPress are to add the call to scripts to the header as referenced in an above post, and to call the images in the correct way (also addressed above).

The site I was working on is now online at https://www.flamingmedusa.com/gallery/illustration.

Check out the slideshows there to see galleriffic working with WordPress.

Hey thanks, SS Minnow. I think I finally got this working, by using absolute paths instead of local paths in the object tags. I also used

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/scripts/swfobject_modified.js"></script>

to include the javascript in the header.php. I may try to do it your way though with php include and conditional tags, because I won’t want this script called on every page.

I’ve got this annoying white space above and below the flv though, which I’ve got to figure out how to get rid of.

I will pass it along when it’s online. Right now, I’m still working out the kinks. I got galleriffic working but now I’m having problems getting flvs and swfs on the site, without a plugin.

Unfortunately, this hasn’t been working for me. I have a feeling I am doing something wrong with the coding – because there must be a different way of calling the scripts (for php in WordPress, rather than html code), and making them load so that the flv or swf shows up on the page. I am working on the site locally through MAMP, and I’m unsure if my paths to the files have to be altered from the html paths so that WordPress will find them. I was just hoping there would be some documentation or a tutorial online that would give a how to do it without using a plugin. I have to imagine I’m not the only one to ever try this before.

Well, a lot of them did specify it. I suppose I could use one that doesn’t and hope it doesn’t have support issues in the future, but since this is for a client, I would love to know if I can do without a plugin. I’m really curious if including flvs or swfs into wordpress is possible without a plugin. I’m up for the challenge of programming it, but I just need to pointed in the right direction, or to some online tutorial or documentation.

Yippee!! I got it running!!! I figured out what was wrong, and of course it was so simple. My biggest problem was calling other javascripts before the wp_head tag! It should have been after – like this:

<?php wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>"); type="text/css" media="screen" />
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/scripts/jquery.galleriffic.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/scripts/jquery.history.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/scripts/jquery.opacityrollover.js"></script>

Calling the images using the bloginfo tag was also a huge lifesaver. Thanks so much for the tip, RVoodoo! I am majorly relieved right now!

Thanks, RVoodoo. I am hard coding the images into the index.php page, and did not know how to call the images, so that WordPress would find them. I will definitely try it using the php bloginfo code you mentioned to call the images, and see if that takes care of the problem. And yes, I have been closing the scripts. I realize the thread here did not print that out, – Thanks for letting me know about the code button! I am admittedly new to coding WordPress sites, but it would be really awesome if I can get this to work.

I’ll try again, and let you know how it goes!!
