Smugmug photo sharing site - PL fails to follow javascript

Post by spamcrush »

Hi,

my PL 1.47 trial version has a problem with gathering pictures from searching the smugmug photo sharing site. Smugmug seems to hide the big size pictures from being automatically downloaded by use of javascript that PL doesn't seem to work its way through. Here is an example:

http://www.smugmug.com/search/index.mg? ... Type=Image

will bring up 12 thumbnails linking to respective pictures. If I browse this search result page with IE or Netscape and move the mouse over one of the thumbnails, the page linked to this thumbnail will show up as for instance:

http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/331537/1 ... 2/Original

This URL is a fake one apparently generated by some mouseover or similar command using javascript. The true URL is as follows:

http://santosgallery.smugmug.com/galler ... 2/Original

Unfortunately, Picaloader doesn't go on with this true URL but rather uses the previous, fake one. From there it won't get the original picture. It would, however, if the latter URL (the one with the "santosgallery" Ýn it) had been used but that is exactly what I can't get PL to do.

Any hints? Javascript on/off won't work, nor does admitting or rejecting the use of IE cookie.

Thanks and greets - Jens
