The following is a complete list of all the configuration options that are settable for SimpleViewer Standard version.
Set these options via svBuilder or by editing the gallery.xml file directly in any text editor. To add an option by editing the XML, add a line inside the opening simpleviewergallery tag. XML options are set in this format:
optionName = "optionValue"
If an option is missing from the XML, it will default to the value specified below. View an example gallery.xml file.
| Option Name | Default Value | Description |
| title | "" | Text to display as gallery Title |
| textColor |
#FFFFFF | Color of title and caption text. Hexadecimal color value. |
| frameColor | #FFFFFF | Color of image frame, thumbnail frame, image navigation arrows and thumb navigation arrows. Hexadecimal color value. |
| frameWidth | 20 | Width of image frame (pixels). |

| flickrUserName | "" | The Flickr user name of the photos to display. If this parameter isn't passed then everybody's public photos will be searched. To get your flickr user name, login to flickr and look for the 'signed in as...' text at the top right. You can also get a Flickr username from a Flickr photostream url here (second field down). Example: "felixturner" |
| flickrTags | "" | A comma separated list of tags. Photos with one or more of the tags listed will be returned. Example: "jump,smile" |

These options are set in the embedding HTML code via the flashvars parameter. It is also possible to set any of the options above using a FlashVar. If the FlashVar value and the XML value are different, the XML value will take precedence. FlashVar options are set with JavaScript in this format:
flashvars.galleryURL = "myGallery.xml";

| baseURL | "" | Relative or absolute URL of the gallery folder. Relative paths are relative to the HTML page that contains the swf. Useful when embedding SimpleViewer in a HTML page that is not in the gallery folder. View more info here. If set, all relative URLs to gallery content (including images, thumbnails and XML) will be relative to this URL. This includes the galleryURL. |
