Fix for Bloggertube Slider!

Hello guys, I hope you understand my lack of time to dedicate for the blog, but I do what I can and try to reply to all emails I get from you (unfortunatelly are too many and I can't handle to reply to all of you).

The biggest problem that you have been reporting to me right now is that Bloggertube's slider is not working anymore, but now I bring you way to fix it.

This afternoon I got a message on twitter from @crzyOrc telling me that he had managed to fix bloggertube by himself, which was a great thing because I didn't really have time to look at it yet.

So pretty much what you have to do is replace the javascript files that used to be hosted at Google Code (unfortunatelly the links are not working anymore) for your own link, you can use any hosting service wanted.

Download the scripts from here:

easySlider1.7.js and galleryvideo1.js

Host them in your hosting services, it could be free ones (please google them) or private ones.

Then just replace the following links:

http://bloggertube.googlecode.com/files/easySlider1.7.js

and

http://bloggertube.googlecode.com/files/galleryvideov1.js

For your new hosted files.

I hope you guys are fine now.

Please if someone has trouble on doing this, please report on the comments, I am sure you will find a helpfull visitor of this blog to help you, please guys, be gentle and help each other!

Best Regards,

Dante Araujo

Problems With Offline Files (Solved)

Guys, I am having problems with my dropbox account. All my files there are showing a 404 error message and the direct links are not working. I already sent them a message in the forum, let's see if I get any reply.

Untill there you may experience serious problem using my templates, specially my javascript files are hosted there, so none of them are working.

If you have your own server to host the files, I have made a pack of all JavaScripts used on my templates, you can download it from here. Please comment if I forgot to include any of them.

Note: For Bloggertube users here are the new URL for the JavaScript files:

  • http://bloggertube.googlecode.com/files/easySlider1.7.js
  • http://bloggertube.googlecode.com/files/galleryvideov1.js

If you don't know how to replace it by yourself, just download the new updated version of the template with the scripts already installed correctly, here.



Everything is working fine now. It seems like I was flagged automatically for serving out too much static content. Please help me in this, Host the JS at your own servers, otherwise I will keep being flagged again and again!

Sorry for the situation, I hope you understand that this is not my fault.
