Amazing galleries with help of TiltViewer

This post is dedicated to Sven who gave me a link to TiltViewer flash gallery and asked if I can help integrating it.
 
There is a beautiful though flash gallery TiltViewer. Visit their website, look at the demo and imagine your website pictures in places of demo images. Gallery is free but there is also Pro version priced at $45.
 
To tell the long story short I did integration with vldPersonals and sharing files with you.

  1. Download files from here
  2. Place hp.* file to /includes/hp/ folder, ext.* file to /includes/ext/ folder, *.tpl files to your template folder (eg. webby2), folder /tiltviewer/ to /media/utils/
  3. Create custom page group in CP and name it as you like. I named it Albums (label 'albums')
  4. Create custom page under this group and name it as you wish. In my case it's Latest pictures(label 'latestpics').
  5. Add content to the page index.php?m=pictures&hp=1
  6. Add custom template page_tilt_viewer

Try it!
 
You can use 'Space' button for zoom in/ zoom out, arrow keys, F(lip).
 
Exciting thing is that you can add parameters to url as if it's a {pictures:} extension! (besides, code is pretty same)
 
Thus I added a few more pages:

  • index.php?m=pictures&hp=1&orderby=totalcomments&orderdir=desc for most commented pictures. Try it
  • index.php?m=pictures&hp=1&orderby=totalviews&orderdir=desc - popular pictures. Try it
  • index.php?m=pictures&hp=1&timeframe=604800 - added this week (since # seconds ago). Try it

You can use all parameters actual for {pictures:} extension. Details here.
 
You can use this galleries for your marketing needs. For example in your newsletters: Popular pictures this week, New pictures etc. Add The best pictures of myDatingSite.com to your signature on vldForum :)
 
That's all for now!
Current mood:
705 26 5 pictures, free, tiltviewer

Dear godyn,
 
What about cross checking yours and mine first? I noted my url address in my previous comment. Please try to take a look at mine with your FF to see if it works or not. And I also try to see your Tiltview site with my FF, if you give me the url. My FF version is 3.6.3. I think you have already gone through Tiltviewer support forums on this FF issue. I hope this can be solved soon enough. Let's keep in touch.
 
It's really one sticky hot summer day here:-(
