Fixing The Cu3er Links on Blogger / Blogspot

Cu3er Links not working:  Fixed!

Once upon a time, there was a lil bug on Blogspot with the flash slider cu3er.
 The links were not working.  Bug no more!

How To fix it:

 1.   Get yourself a free copy of TextWrangler.  Here!  If you don't want to, you can still edit the code with a text editor. 

 2.   Go to your Blogger Dashboard and download your template (under Layout >>Edit HTML>>Download Full Template ) Save it !   Saved?  Ok, because of Murphy's Law, Make a second backup.








3.   Open the Template with  TextWrangler or your best Text Editor and locate the following (use CTRL +F  to search)
var flashvars = {};

 The all block of code should look like

<script type='text/javascript'>
var flashvars = {};
        flashvars.xml = &quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxxxxxx/Solar-Press/config.php&quot;;
        flashvars.font = &quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxxxxx/Solar-Press/font.swf&quot;;
var attributes = {};
        attributes.wmode = &quot;transparent&quot;;
        attributes.id = &quot;slider&quot;

 4.  Once located you will need to insert the following code (in blue for the example) right after the line attributes.id = &quot;slider&quot;

Code to copy and paste :
 var params = {};
        params.allowscriptaccess = "always";
        params.allownetworking = "all";
 
Your Block of code should  must  look like , from  <script>  to < script/>  
 xxxxxxxxxxx Being a number for your Dropbox account (if you are using one)  
 If you are not using one, read this post later.

<script type='text/javascript'>
var flashvars = {};
        flashvars.xml = &quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxxxxxx/Solar-Press/config.php&quot;;
        flashvars.font = &quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxxxxxx/Solar-Press/font.swf&quot;;
        var attributes = {};
        attributes.wmode = &quot;transparent&quot;;
        attributes.id = &quot;slider&quot;;
        var params = {};
        params.allowscriptaccess = "always";
        params.allownetworking = "all";
        swfobject.embedSWF(&quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxxxxxx/Solar-Press/cu3er.swf&quot;, &quot;cu3er-container&quot;, &quot;860&quot;, &quot;250&quot;, &quot;9&quot;, &quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxxxxxx/Solar-Press/expressInstall.swf&quot;, flashvars, attributes, params);
       
</script>


I Hope that you have noted the last  params at the end of the last line swfobject.embedSWF...............................flashvars, attributes, params);


If not, NOW IS THE TIME.  Add it !!!! 

 5.  Save your newly edited template under a new name  i.e  nameofyourblog V001.xml  and upload it back to Blogger.

We now move to the config.php file of Cu3er

For Each Slide (where you want a link to work), you have probably a line looking like :
<slide>
     <url> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/xxxxxxxxxxx/Solar-Press/Image-AA01.jpg</url>
     <link target="_blank">PUT-YOUR-LINK-HERE</link>
</slide>
<transition num="6" slicing="horizontal" direction="right" shader="none" delay="0.05" z_multiplier="2" /> 

Just replace PUT-YOUR-LINK-HERE  by a valid URL.

Now everything should be working. Thanks to Stephan Kovak.

While you are at it , try the following transition  ;-)

<transition num="30" slicing="horizontal" direction="none" shader="none" delay="0.05" z_multiplier="4" /> 

Have fun.
