It’s here! Version 2 of my feature-packed site template!

This template is ideal for photographers wanting to show multiple portfolios. Complete with a php contact form and an XML -driven portfolio which you can now navigate using your arrow keys, the template is a great upgrade from the first version! Still easy to configure and with a number of code optimizations (including more robust error handling and file download management).


So What’s New?

  • Added main preloader to load entire site
  • You can now add multiple portfolios by simply adding xml files! (each xml file supports up to 20 pieces – add as many xml files as you can fit in there)
  • Portfolio images can now be enlarged when clicked on. (aspect ratio must be maintained)
  • Navigate the portfolio by using your arrow keys
  • Added file-download script with easy to implement buttons (includes a PDF button and a normal button. Easy to make more).
  • More robust error checking and reporting


Other Features:

  • PHP contact form with email validation and error checking (1)
  • 5 fully customizable sections (main, about, services, portfolio, contact)
  • Centralized code-base so you don’t have to go digging everywhere for Actionscript files
  • All fonts, classes, and layered Photoshop files are included! (2)
  • Full browser site for an elegant presentation
  • Large photo/graphic area for nice presentation of your work

This is a complete site template. All you have to do is customize it to your liking and deploy!


Requirements

  • Flash 8 or higher
  • A server with PHP 4 or higher for contact form to work
  • A better name than ACME – hopefully a logo


Dual Load Version


Hi all – many of you have asked for the dual load version to alleviate some image quality issues when resizing. Fear not! Just do the following:

1. Open portfolio_section.as and add these two lines at the top: import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Matrix;

2. Now, replace the line that reads ”// resize this correctly with this:”
scaleBmp = new BitmapData(825, 630, true, 0xFFFFFF);
scaleBmp.draw(mc, new Matrix());
mc.attachBitmap(scaleBmp, 999999, “auto”, true);


Technical Support:

I do not offer technical support for customization of the file. The only tech support I offer is for the VERY rare bug in the code or corrupted download file. Please read through comments as most questions are answered here already.

(1) Requires a server environment with PHP 4 or higher
(2) Fonts and Classes are open-source and are under their creator’s copyright

Hi there,

your file works great and I managed to customize everything.

The only question I have, if it is possible in the portfolio section to keep the subnav portfolio buttons open instead them sliding in again.

And more importantly, if its possible once I selected a subnav section not to have it appear again as a selectable button above with all the others portfolio buttons.

Your comments/help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hello,

After reading these posts I realized I might have an old version of portfolio_section.as it is build2.0. Can someone please email me the latest version?

Also when my site builds the portfolio nav gets stuck on the left side, anybody know of a fix?

And lastly, I would like to search engine optimize the html file. Anybody know of a way to do this? Maybe with noscript, or just some content?

I would love to see everybody’s work, here’s mine so far http://www.paulvalentinecreative.com/deploy/index.html

Cheers!

I’ve bought both versions of this. Its great! I’m needing to have a link in each section that links to the individual sections of the site. On the website it says “Learn More” and clicking it moves to the next section of the website. What is the link code to be able to link to the sections? Thanks.

Hi dabamol… I would like to put “on” the allow smoothing option to the different pictures, but i really dont know how to do it when the images are loaded by xml….

not for the big ones but for the smaller ones….

Posted about 1 month ago

sorry… but where is the line…. ”// resize this correctly with this:”

i dont have it… i just have // resize it correctly… you mean this one?

i put it, but the fla file said this when i exported…

line 190

This type of quotation mark is not allowed in ActionScript. Please change it to a standard (straight) double quote.

mc.attachBitmap(scaleBmp, 999999, “auto”, true);

dabamol:

I also need a problem to be solved like the one noaa had about a year ago. Could you send me the updated file you sent him? my e-mail is tony@pixtordesign.com Thank You!

Below are the original messages (about a year ago):

NOAA asked: I wanted to know if there was a way to have URLS in the portfolio section that are active on only some of the items. Meaning, i don’t want the titles to appear as links in some of the items as i don’t have anything to link them to. But in some of the portfolio Items i do wish for them to be able to launch the project….

YOU responded: I just sent you an updated file that should solve your problem.

Beautiful template!

I love the file, everything was very easy to figure out and customize! I just have one question …

In the portfolio, is there a way to change the image that enlarges when the photo is clicked on? For example, before the image is clicked, I have inserted a close up, but as you click on it and it expands, I would like it to show the entire image instead of just the close up, but I don’t know how to fit it to a different image file.

Help would be very much appreciated. I’ve spent hours trying to figure it out with no luck! Thanks so much in advance. :)

I just purchased this item as a template for my wedding. The photo galleries work locally, but upon upload to the server, they do not work at all. When you click on an album—nothing happens.

The only thing I changed was the names and then chose 2 to show up instead of the long list of 5.

Any ideas? Help!

^- I fixed my stupid question from above.

Has anyone fixed the content form issue (where it won’t let you type in the boxes?) All I did was add my REAL email in the PHP and then add in my REAL address in the contact area in the .fla. Something like that shouldn’t jack up a form.

Anyone find a fix—otherwise this form is useless (which is 1/2 the reason why I bought it). I’ve already read through all of the comments.

Bummer.

How do I customize the sections? Help!

Hi, i have a problem with the portfolio which doesn’t work for me…  I’ve read all the comments. It appears the testmode is responsible for 9 % of this kind of problem : can someone teaches me clearly how to set the testmode to False. Thanks

Annie

Dabamol : “Another common question I get is “when I publish it, menu works, but doesn’t show anything.” 99% of the time, this problem is because either: a) testMode needs to be set to FALSE or b) your XML path is incorrect.”

Hi, Great work!

Is it possible to make an active link through the XML files?

Thanx

Hi dabamol, is there any way to have the multiple portfolio items pop out from the Portfolio menu instead? Currently the multiple portfolios pop out from the blue bag icon on the right.
