Photo landscape in redirected Google Sites website

Post by Melody Maker »

Hi,

I have used my own landscape image in YoWindow 2.0 on my computer and would like to do the same in the widget on our website. I have read how to do this but can't due to the way the site is set up.

The website was created using Google Sites and is located at https://sites.google.com/site/humphreyparkcc/ with the address http://www.humphreypark.co.uk redirecting to it. (It was much cheaper to do it this way because I only have to pay for the web address and not the space). So, unless I have totally misunderstood something, I don't have access to the top level address of the site to place the required code.

I kind of understand that this may not be possible, but if there is a way of developing the widget so that any PNG picture can be used that I upload to my Google site, it would be fantastic. I'm really surprised at how good my photo looks in YoWindow 2.0 and I'd love to be able to put it on the website.

Many thanks for your help and my apologies for my lack of experience in this area.

Hi Melody maker :good:

Welcome to this forum.
Have you a name??

You have to place the file crossdomain.xml in the root of your site . In your case is this https://sites.google.com. Google will not allow

Hi Herman, my name is Andrew.

I read the page and you are of course right, Google will not allow this. If a widget could be designed differently so this step isn't required it would be great. I do not have the technical knowledge to know if this is possible.

Many thanks for a great feature though,

Andrew.
