I'm working on a template for my site. I've created an editable region, and tried to insert an Image Gallery Magic 2 gallery. It looks like it's trying to work, but when I view the page in a browser, it just shows the first image of the gallery, and nothing else happens.
Is this possible? Will it work in an editable region of a template?
Thanks

All of out products work perfectly inside editable template regions. The problem is likely a bad template deployment on your part. You will need to post a link to a test page in order for someone to pinpoint your error.

Your Template's editable head regions have been removed. Only you could have done that. When you created the gallery, our system examined your template and, finding no editable head region, placed the links to the IGM script and CSS files in the only place possible -- at the end of your first and only editable region. This places them below the actual gallery markup: a place where the script cannot possibly work.
You can repair your Template by opening the DWT file and fixing the head. In your DWT, locate the closing head tag:
</head>
Make a new line above it and enter this code:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
Save the DWT file.
Now open the page that contains your gallery and locate the following two lines of code, on or near line 80:
<link href="p7igm/p7IGM01.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all">
<script type="text/javascript" src="p7igm/p7IGMscripts.js"></script>
Delete them.
Now select your gallery and open the IGM2 interface, as if you were going to edit it.
Click OK.
The script and CSS links should be placed in the editable head region.
Additionally...
By default, all Dreamweaver Templates get two editable regions in the head. The first surrounds the TITLE, enabling you to set a unique title for every page. The second is the editable HEAD region. So, while we helped you fix your editable head region, you should also recreate an editable region around your title:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title" -->
<title>CSS Page Builder Magic 2: Layout 2</title>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
Obviously, CSS Page Builder Magic 2: Layout 2 is not a good title for your page and should be made more relevant.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I'll follow those steps and see if I can get things going.
First time I worked with templates, and I think my mistake was just selecting a block of text in an existing html file and making it an editable region.

That was not your mistake. That was, actually, correctly done. You somehow deleted the default editable regions in the head of your page, which has absolutely nothing to do with creating an editable content region by selecting a block of text.
The solution I gave is correct. If followed, you gallery will work.

Hmm, not making much progress.
I added those lines to the .dwt file.
That part looks like this:
-----------------------------------
.menutop li {display: inline;}
div, .menuside a {zoom: 1;}
.masthead .banner, .masthead .banner img {width: 100%;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="main content" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
</head>
<body>
<div class="content-wrapper">
<div class="masthead">
<div class="logo">
<h1>Logo Placeholder</h1>
----------------------------------
something still seems wrong though...the text is all light gray in Dreamweaver, so it looks like some formatting is off.
If I delete those two lines from the html file and re-initialize the slideshow, it keeps putting those two lines in the same (wrong) place.
One question: do the html file and the dwt file have to be at the same level? I have the dwt in the templates folder, but the html file in the root of the site.

The editable head region should be named "head". Typo on my part in my last post. I've edited the last post so reread it.

Sorry to necro this thread, but it's been a while since I worked on my site, and am having issues with this again
I've made sure that the proper:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
are in place, and Image Gallery Magic is putting those lines where it's supposed to.
It looks like this now:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<link href="p7igm/p7IGM01.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all">
<script type="text/javascript" src="p7igm/p7IGMscripts.js"></script>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
Which I believe is correct, but I'm doing something wrong with the formatting. The slideshow shows the first image, but doesn't play the slideshow.
Thumbnails are broken or not looking correct as well.
If anybody could take a look:

Maybe it's not working because of these errors:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'igmDiv' of null p7IGMscripts.js:142
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'offsetWidth' of null p7IGMscripts.js:2494
which appeared when I opened this page. Correcting this may solve your problems.

There are remnants of a previous igm2 instance,
In code view find this....
<div id="p7IGM_1" class="p7IGM01 IGMnoscript">
<div class="p7IGM_wrapper"></div>
<div id="p7IGMthumbs_1" class="p7IGM01_thumbswrapper IGMno-display">
<div class="p7IGM01_arrows IGM-arrows">
<div class="arrow-left"><a id="p7IGMleft_1" href="#"><</a></div>
<div class="arrow-right"><a id="p7IGMright_1" href="#">></a></div>
</div>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">P7_opIGM('p7IGM_1',0,1,400,0,7,800,2,1,1,400,400,1,1,8000,5000,1,0,0,700,0);</script>
</div>
<h1 class="page-topper"> </h1>
<h1 class="page-topper"> </h1>
.... and delete it, that may fix the errors Bob mentions and get your gallery going.
Not sure about your thumbnails, but assuming you've created them, try adding them manually via the igm2 UI, you may want to reference the user guide for more info from page 9 (take note of the note in the black box on that page, that can throw folks)....

Thank you both...I deleted those lines from a previous (messed up) installation, and that's got it working!
Much appreciated.
