Is there a way to test the gallery locally, without having to upload every time?
Yes. You can set the gallery to read from a static xml document rather than auto_folders.php. To do this, open mediaGallery.html, and change the following code: so.addVariable(“data_source”, “auto_folders.php”) to: so.addVariable(“data_source”, “folders.xml”) You will need to create folders.xml file that reflects the file structure you are working with. For further instructions on how to do that, see Using XML Instead of Auto section.
