JQuery :: Galleria - Transition Effects And Image Loading When Using Custom Thumbnails
Jul 26, 2009
I've implemented a photo gallery using Galleria and jCarousel on my site, and have chosen to use custom thumbnails instead of having Galleria generate them for me from the source images.
As far as I can tell, there may be an advantage in conserving bandwidth with this method, but the page also degrades to a nice set of thumbnails that link to the larger images (which is very nice, IMO).
Everything works beautifully, however when viewing this gallery for the first time, instead of the large image fading in nicely as it does in the Galleria demo, it almost kind of "slides" the image into view like it's rendering pieces of it as it loads in the container. This is definitely an effect i would like to avoid, but I also thought that one of the benefits of Galleria was that it pre-loaded images in the background, right?
So why does my gallery appear to be loading these images "on-demand"?
I am new to jquery in anycase I have a db with information about the location of pictures, and I want to use that information to create a gallery with transition effects using the cycle plugin. Right now I can get the info that I need into the <img src=""/> using the code I have, the problem is it keeps giving empty values along with the actual values. To check what was happening I included a navigation bar for each picture and even though I should have 3 results in my query, I am getting 5 pages i.e. the extra ones are empty. I want to know if this problem is because of my php or something wrong I have done with the jquery.
The code I have is pretty simple. <style type="text/css"> .slideshow { height: 210px; width: 210px; margin: auto } .slideshow img { padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background-color: #eee; } #nav a { border: 1px solid #ccc; background: #fc0; text-decoration: none; margin: 0 5px; padding: 3px 5px; } #nav a.activeSlide { background: #F90 } #nav a:focus { outline: none; }
Is it possible to use enable different transition effects for auto- advance versus the pager (that is, when a user clicks a pager item)? I'd like very much to use "fade" as images auto-advance without user input, but use a more advanced easing effect if the user clicks an item in the pager.
1. I have a number of images placed in my html page simply using the img tag. When the page is loading I see these images stacked (full size) for a few seconds before galleria loads and then begins to convert them into thumbnails. how to hide the images on the page but only to appear in the galleria as the images start to load as thumbnails?
2. I wish to have the same 5px (horizontal) gap between each thumbnail. However my images are of different sizes and have been optimized to a max width or max height. I do not wish for the thumbnails to be cropped so have set: thumb_crop: false, This has now visually created an inconsistent horizontal space between each thumbnail (highlighted in pink to show the gap left and right of each one). I have already attempted to change the thumbnail width to auto in the css, but with no success. How do I remove the 'excess' left & right space from each thumbnail so that the gap appears consistent?
3. Lastly, upon page load, is it possible to hide the main stage image until a thumbnail is selected? I wish to initially display some text (where the main image sits) which is then replaced with the main image when the user clicks on one of the thumbnails.
I'm trying to make a customCycletransition. I want the slide to scroll left or right and simultaneously fade in or out to be revealed or disappear. To handle both directions in one transition I'm basing it on the built-in scrollHorz transition, which looks like
This makes the slide that slides out fade as expected, but the slide that slides in doesn't fade. It is suddenly made visible before sliding in. So it ignores the opacity that I set on line 9.
I'm currently trying to create a complete custom transition for the awesome jQuery Cycle plugin. Basically, what I want to achieve is kind if a lightbox like transition effect... You know, the images wraper scales itself based on the current image width and height and scales itself again when you go to next or prev image.
Ok I have 2 questions:
1) I can see in the source of Cycle, at the end there is: $.fn.cycle.transitions = { ... } and inside there is the fade transition set up. Do I need to create my new transition here?
I'm using a Jquery plugin called coin slider as a slider for my website. However, I do not like the transitions that are available in this plugin as they're kinda cheesy. I was wondering how I would go about using a different jquery transition such as a simple fade? I'm kinda stuck with coin slider as this is used on a wordpress site and I don't have the time to customize any other jquery slider to work with wordpress and dynamically pull the latest articles etc.
I have used multiple jQuery in my page. Two of them are working fine.When I tried to integrate the galleria script, it says, Error: $("ul.gallery_demo").galleria is not a function The code is working for me separately. Here's the code.
The objective is to have an image fade to another one progressivly while the mouse is over, when its not it fades back to the original, whether or not it faded to the target completely or not. That is, if it takes 1 second to fade completely to the other image, and you take your mouse off it at 0.5 seconds, it will begin to fade back to the original. I have a problem where I want to give this ability to multiple images (thumbnails) on a page, without having reams and reams of code and instead just have one function accomadate any number of images.
I have the basic image gallery set up for thumbnails to populate a larger image... i uploaded it quick, take a look: [url]
Only thing i need to do is make the next and back buttons work...i know its something simple im missing if you bring up the firebug console i have several console logs on the next button.
I'm not sure if this is a Javascript or a CSS issue, but I'm running into trouble with the Nivo Slider, which uses the jQuery library: [URL]
This is the page I'm having trouble with: [URL]
If you click the right arrow, after about three clicks, it gets stuck and won't scroll to the right anymore. I widened the controlnav div but it doesn't do anything. what may be making it malfunction?
I have a div, which I would like some images to rotate as the background-image so it is a slideshow. In additional, I want a fade in/out effect between the image transition.
I was viisitingand saw the images fade on the home page. It uses jquery and I was needing some assistance getting this working on my web site. Where would I locate any "how to" documentation?
I am running into an issue with gallerific plugin where I would like to be able to run code to get the height of the currently displayed image directly after it has finished transitioning onto the page. So for example when the script completes the load of the first image code would run to get it's height, and then each time the user navigates to an image, once the transition to the new image completes get it's height. It seems like all the currently available options to run code happen before the new image is displayed.
Does anyone know how I could accomplish this? I did a lot of running through the code in firebug with breakpoints but can't seem to figure out where the actual image transition completes and the attributes of the new image are available for retrieving. I was hoping maybe someone has done this already or has a lot of experience with gallerific and can point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to change the background image of a button. Using the css() function changes the background instantly. Is there a way to do a crossfade effect?
I'm looking for a very simple image gallery solution (no lightbox or something other fance) with a large image and a x amount of thumbnails at one off the sides, where the big image change whenever another thumbnail is clicked, without page refresh. ( a fade transition would be nice)!Which Plugin, preferably as light as possible, is the most suitable for this task?
I am using the Cycle plugin for image slideshows, and I am working on one that also displays a title for each slide with a link. The issue is that the title swaps a little after the image swaps, so there is a delay. Here is my code:
I came across this awesome image slider: Thumbnails Navigation Gallery with jQuery. The problem is ..you have to click on "best shots" to see the thumbnail navigation... 1) How do you show this thumbnail navigation straight away on loading the page? (ie "best shots" and other list items dont need to be there) 2) and get the thumbnails show near the bottom of the page? 3) and also get the next image to fade in automatically say after 5 seconds, without having to click on a thumbnail, although one can?
Right, here goes: I'm using a modified "jQuery Cycle Plugin - 'goto' Demo 2 (aka: Poor Man's pager)" implementation of the Cycle plugin, this works fine in FF2+, Op9, Saf3+ and Chrome2 but in IE cycle stops the background- image from repeating! As usual I cannot give out a public link due to NDA but I can give you these two image locations to see the differences: [URL]
I am creating a custom gallery that I require an image and text to swap on click of an anchored thumbnail. I have successfully managed to change the image on click however I can't seem to manage changing the text. Currently when a user clicks on the thumbnail both the image and text is swapped however when the user clicks on another anchored thumbnail (after clicking on the first) the image swaps correctly but the text does not change My Code
- works as expected in that one photo fades into the next photo smoothly. Test page looks great - [url]
However, when I put the exact same code into Thesis/WordPress, I get a long delay between the images, and spend several seconds looking at a blank stage - [url]
Why would that be? How to make the images transition fade smoothly into the next image
I am looking for a version of lightbox that would allow the user to click on a single reference image and when the "lightboxed" version appears a strip of thumbnails would be available at the top or bottom of that image. Thus, the user could navigate between images within the lightbox by clicking on a different thumbnail. If such beast exists a URL would appreciated. Extensive Googling hasn't turned up what I'm looking for at all.
I would like to animate a number of thumbnails in a gallery. My idea is to have each thumb transit to another thumb, i.e. you put your mouse over a thumbnail, and it slowly fades to a different image. I have spent a lot of time trying to get this to work, using exhaustive combinations of fadeToggle() and stop(false, false) etc etc and I still can't get a smooth effect.
I have created my own fade engine using a variable that drives the opacity of the image that fades in/out over the other image. My issue is that I would like to get this into a function, as it works beautifully for one image, or if you simply duplicate the code for other thumbnails. The problem is there could be up to 32 thumbnails on the page, which means a lot of repeated code.
My problem is that the "video" is very choppy due to the constant redirection. Does any one know a way to transition images to have my "video" display more smoothely?
My website has a large banner, that rotates between several hardcoded images with a fading effect. (see the onmouseover demo (lower left) from DynamicDrive)
I also added an image magnifier Jquery script to the page as well.. Click on the thumbnails and the magnified image fades in from the original image to the center of the screen.
In Internet Explorer, this combo works.. the large banner stays at the back, and the magnified image, appears ontop...
BUT.. in Google Chrome (& Apple Safari) - its the opposite. The banner remains topmost and the magnified image apears above everything else but behind the large banner..
Is there anyway to force Chrome to understand which is which? I rather like Chrome and don't want to move back to IE..
PS:: I'll just quick that the whole sha-bang works exactly right in Frontpage Preview as well.. so..
I was trying to apply 2 javascript effects on one image. First, I use this Jquery effect on the image. It works like it should until I put in the light box effect (this is the one I am using. The lightbox also works, it just depends on which order I put them in the code on which one will come through.I am relatively new to javascript and I am learning as I go along. Below I inserted part of my code geared towards these two effects. I know I have everything else in the code correct (the body) because they work individually, just not put together (or maybe I have to put a line of code in the body to enable it to work?).Essentially, I want the image to be dulled out when the visitor opens the page, get brighter when they roll over it, then trigger the lightbox when they click on it.The easy option would be to use an image swap for the dull/bright mouseOver effect; however, I like the way it is done by tutorialhero.CODE
