"Menu publishing error" in free slideshow software

Q: I'm having difficulty inserting the slideshow into an existing webpage.
I keep getting "menu publishing error" after clicking "Insert After" button.

A: Please try to install VisualSlideshow on your own page in the following way:

1) Create your slideshow using VisualSlideshow.
2) Publish it on a local drive in any test folder:

- open Gallery->Properties->Publish or click 'Publish' button on the main menu panel;
- select 'Publish to folder', click 'Browse' button and select any local folder
- click 'Publish' button

3) Open index.html file from the saved folder in any text editor (Notepad for example)
or you can:

- open index.html page in any browser
- right click on the page
- select view source of the page.

You'll find 'engine' and 'data' folders in this saved folder also.

4) Copy code for the HEAD section and paste it inside the HEAD/BODY section of you own webpage, for example:

<head>
...
<!-- Start VisualSlideShow.com HEAD section -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="engine/css/slideshow.css" media="screen" />
<style type="text/css">.slideshow a#vlb{display:none}</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="engine/js/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="engine/js/visualslideshow.js"></script>
<!-- End VisualSlideShow.com HEAD section -->
...
</head>



5) Copy code for the BODY section and paste it inside the Body section of you own web page in the
place where you want to have a gallery, for example:

<body>
...
<!-- Start VisualSlideShow.com BODY section -->
<div id="show" class="slideshow">
...
</div>
<!-- End VisualSlideShow.com BODY section -->
...
</body>



6) Notice. you should copy 'data' folder with images and thumbnails and 'engine' folder with .css and .js files
into the same folder with your own webpage.

That's all.
