greybox problem

[Grant7]

Hi,

I use the greybox script for 2 gallery pages on two websites (same 2 pages on both websites) that point to the same directory (addon domains).

The problem is the greybox works on one of the sites and not the other.

Is there any way to get both galleries working?

I think the problem is the javascript declared in the web pages:

<script type="text/javascript">
var GB_ROOT_DIR = "http://www.mysite.com/greybox/";
</script>

I can only list one of the websites here, not both. I don't particularly want to have two copies of the same web pages as maybe this could look bad to search engines I think, so I was thinking perhaps a way around it may be to redirect the gallery pages that aren't working to the pages that are.

Does anyone have any other suggestions - is there any way to modify that javascript to include multiple websites?

Thanks,

Grant

You should be able to run a seperate installation on both web sites.

The script line

var GB_ROOT_DIR = "http://www.mysite.com/greybox/";

var GB_ROOT_DIR = "http://www.myothersite.com/greybox/";

is the path the the directory in which the grey box script would be installed.
The javascript file includes required by grey box would also point to the same directory

Thanks for that, but I'm not sure that solves my problem.

I don't have 4 separate gallery pages that I upload for each website, only two.

The 2 websites I have are both addon domains, that point to the same subdirectory of another website that I have.

So because I only have the two files that both websites work from for my gallery pages, I can't change that line

var GB_ROOT_DIR = "http://www.mysite.com/greybox/";

for the same gallery.

I hope you understand what I mean.

I guess an addon domain is a bit like a parked domain, in that they both point to the same folder and all the different domains point to the same files within that folder.

So for any of my gallery pages, there's only one page, not separate pages for each domain, so I can't change the code for each.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

I don't know how your subs are set up. If the addons are subdirectories of a single domain the path would be different for each sub.

In general, one domain does not have local access to another domains files.
I'm not sure how the sites are related path wise.

I have one subdirectory that both addon domains point to. If I create another subdirectory with the same content won't search engines frown upon that, and is that the only solution to solve my greybox problem here, to have one subdirectory for each addon domain?

Whats the difference between two seperate sites with duplicated content and two sites which share the same common content? Won't they both appear the same?

Without lookiing at the sites and seeing the error its not easy to troublshoot.
Generally, you can link to javascript files on another host as with images, and use them as long as the urls are correct and handled as need in the script.
