    2. From the extension page, click on DOWNLOAD and then on BUY NOW (no worry, the extension is free).
    3. You should be redirected to:
      Your accounT › Licenses & Downloads
    4. Click the settings icon next to the extension.
    5. Select the version you want to download and click the Download button.
    6. Install the extension.
    7. Activate your free license.

    The Flash Media Gallery extension is now installed and ready to use!

    Flash Media Gallery is easy to use and can be ready in a few minutes.

    Start with adding flash files (SWF) or animated GIFs into the product's media gallery.

    Simply insert these files when editing a product under the Images tab from the backend product page:
    Catalog › Manage Products

    This module fits with all designs, templates, or third modules.

    Some JavaScript workaround is used to replace on the fly the different SWF files that are integrated in order to add them to embed tags.

    You just have to:

    • identify the CSS selector of the image placeholder
    • add it in:
      System › Config › Wyomind › Flash Media Gallery

    Finally, the module will update the HTML source to include the flash object.

    FAQ

    License and domains

    License validity

    A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single Magento installation.

    If you use more than one Magento installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each one.

    If you run several domains on the same Magento installation, you will need only one license for all of them.

    Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your support period does. By purchasing an extension, you’ll be granted a 6-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to renew your Support plan (see FAQ: How to extend my support period?).
    Domains pre-registration

    You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.

    Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the extension ready to use on your domain before it goes live.

    To pre-register your production domain: 

    1. Go to:
      mY account › Licenses & DOwnloads
    2. Click on  next to the extension you want your domain to pre-register on.
    3. Click on the link at the bottom of the page saying:
      Do you want to pre-register your domain in order to be ready to go live?
    4. Finally, enter your domain name and click on pre-register now .
    Testing environments

    One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one Magento installation only.  

    It is possible, however, to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases: 

    • If you'd like to add your testing environments to your license.
      In this case, it is possible to extend your license to an unlimited number of domains for free.
      For example mywebsite-staging.com or mywebsite-dev.com
    • If you want to transfer your license to another live domain.
      In that case, the support period for your license must still be active.


    To be able to use Flash Media Gallery on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:

    1. Download Flash Media Gallery.
      (see FAQ: Extensions download).
    2. Install Flash Media Gallery on your production environment.
      (see FAQ: Extensions installation)
    3. Activate the license.
      (see FAQ: Extensions activation).
    4. From your Magento admin panel, enter your current Activation Key in:
      syStem › CONFIGuration › WYOMING › YOUR EXTENSION 
    5. Save your configuration.


    Now that you can use Flash Media Gallery on your production environment, repeat the same steps as above on your testing environments.

    The only difference this time: a notification will appear in your Magento admin. 

    You will be given a choice between:

    1. buy a new license now
    2. add this domain to my license


    Click on Add this domain to my license.

    A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.

    Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.

    If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Flash Media Gallery on both environments at the same time.

    The order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter.
    You can start with your staging/dev/local environment or with your live domain, the process will be the same.

    Once the uninstallation is over, refresh your cache and enable the compiler back again (if you use it).

    Extensions installation

    Before installing Flash Media Gallery, you’ll have to:

    • Backup your Magento installation in:
      system › tools › backups
    • Disable the compiler in your Magento admin panel if it’s not already disabled:
      system › tools › COMPILATIONS
    • Refresh your cache in:
      system › select cache type › actions › refresh › submit


    Now you can install Flash Media Gallery:

    1. Download Flash Media Gallery (zip file) from:
      my account › my downloads
      Refer to FAQ here: Extensions download
    2. Once Flash Media Gallery is downloaded, open the folder and unzip it.
    3. Copy the content of the unzip folder and paste all files and directories in your Magento root directory (the folder content can vary according to the extension but it generally includes app, lib and skin folders).
    4. Once your installation is complete, don't forget to enable the compiler back (if it was already enabled before the installation) and run compilation process.
    5. Refresh your cache, logout from your admin panel and log back in right after.

    Next step is to activate your license, to do so, click here: Extension activation

    Modules activation

    Extensions activation

    Once Flash Media Gallery is installed, you have to activate the license: 

    1. Go to your Magento admin panel. A message pops up at the top of the page.

      If the message doesn't appear then you must check that:

      Wyomind's License Manager has not been removed from your installation.
      Wyomind's License Manager is enabled in: app/etc/modules/Wyomind_Licensemanager.xml
      The HTML output for Wyomind_Licensemanager and/or Adminhtml_Notification are not disabled in your system under:  system  

      configuration › advanced › advanced

    2. Copy your activation key.

      You can find your activation key in 2 different places:
      - In the confirmation email that you received after purchasing Flash Media Gallery
      - In your Wyomind account:MY ACcount › My downloads, select Flash Media Gallery and click on  . A new page opens where you'll find your activation key (see below).
    3. In your Magento admin go to:
      SysteM › Configuration › Wyomind › Your extension

      Paste the activation key in the Activation Key field and choose between the automatic (yes) or the manual (no) activation method:
      - By choosing Yes, the connection to Wyomind license server will be automatic. 
      - By choosing No, you will have to log on to Wyomind license server yourself.

    4. Save the configuration.
    5. Clear your caches. 
    6. A message appears at the top of your admin panel: Activate it now!  Click on that link.
    7. Copy and paste the license code in the License code field from your admin or simply click on  Activate now! 
    8. Finally, refresh your cache, log out and log back in straight after, to complete the installation.

    To activate the license of an extension that includes other modules, you’ll have to repeat the steps described above for each extension, using the corresponding activation keys (each module has its own activation key).

    Troubleshooting

    White page using the extension

    If you're getting a white page using the extension, you should enable the error reporting in order to display the error. You can do that from index.php.
