Lightbox - Slideshow That Gathers Images From A Database
Sep 15, 2009
I have a slideshow that gathers images from a database. I've been trying to set it up to where it extracts the IMG SRC accordingly so when I click on the image, the lightbox shows the corresponding image. But no luck thus far.
Here's what I mean:
How can I extract the current "s.src" parameter and use it on the "img src" tag to display the image accordingly?
I currently have a slideshow working on my client's site, but I can't get lightbox to work properly on it. [URL]...
Is there a way to fix the existing slideshow to work with lightbox? Or is there another way of doing this (keeping the same look that is currently in place)?
I have to do a slideshow with images of different widths... am using cycle plugin, which I like very much... I have a little test slideshow here, http:[url]....it's not centering imgs in containing div (I made div width of widest image.. this will work for my situation, in which imgs will be hard-coded..)if you inspect img element in firebug (#slideshow img), it shows that the plugin adds a style of position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px .to the img; why does the plugin do this.. how can I center the images in containing div...
Iīve just launch my website-portfolio, well itīs not yet the final version but it is almost and despite I am satisfied with the final result Iīve detected a really strange bug that only happens sometimes. The thing is when the first introduction Slide appears (the one with the hand-made drawings), sometimes the images shrink from the normal size to small tiny images. This doesnīt happen always and if you refresh the page it disappears.
Follow the link to the page were the bug happens - [url]. I'm using jquery cycle plugin, check it out.
I've seen several jquery slideshows, but I don't know how to adapt them to my needs. I'm working in Visual Studio 2010, Visual Basic. I have a database that contains the file names of the files I want in the slide show. I can easily create an array or an arraylist to contain the files to use. The slideshow examples I've seen have the photo files hard coded. How can I use the array I fill from the database instead? Are there particular slideshows you would recommend?
I am using the Lightbox plugin for a gallery page. On the live site two of the images I added after I built the original gallery WILL NOT LOAD/SHOW on the lightbox! I cannot find any errors/discrepancies in my coding, and the previews (using Dreamweaver) in several browsers work FINE.
I have deleted and re-put the entire site from scratch, but still no success.
What am I missing?
Here is the page -- the uncooperative images are towards the end of the gallery (images 35 and 38): Cadogan Gardens - Creative Landscapes garden design landscaping in Melbourne Victoria
Im having an issue with images loaded dynamically, in the page I have a "read more" button at the bottom of the page that loads more post on the page and the images that are in those dynamically loaded post lightbox doesnt work if I refresh the page then lightbox works. know it can be done, like in facebook when I click on "Older post" the images loaded dynamically works.
i have i am using a jquery.lightbox-0.5.css does anyone knows how can i specify so that when the lightbox pops up keeps the all the images or at least the lightbox of the image on the same size because when it pops ups dpending on the image some of them are huge they just ocupied the whole screen??
I have added xfade2 (JS image rotator) to my website.
I have Lightbox also on the main page as it needs to serve as a gallery. Now that I have added xfade, the lightbox images do not load; the opening transition just stays blank.
It seems that there is a small piece of css code causing all the problems.
I found this javascript to randomize an image on a page...
Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function random_img(){ var ranimage = new Array(); ranimage[1] = "photo1.jpg"; ranimage[2] = "photo2.jpg"; ranimage[3] = "photo3.jpg";
var ry = Math.floor(Math.random()*ranimage.length) if (ry==0) ry=1 document.write('<img src="'+ranimage[ry]+'" border=1>'); } random_img(); // --> </script>
I have some images that are dynamically generated and i want these images to randomize every few seconds (at the moment the images change when the user goes to a different page on the site)...can anyone give me any ideas as to whether this is possible??
The PHP code i'm using is below...
<?php
// read image dir $dir="../../admin/uploads/"; // Open directory, and proceed to read its contents if (is_dir($dir)) { if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { if (filetype($dir . $file)== "file"){
// load each image into array echo rand(5, 15); // get count of total no. of images $lastNo=sizeof($urlStack)-1; $imageToUse=rand(0,$lastNo); #print "using image $imageToUse of $lastNo"; $imageName=$nameStack[$imageToUse]; $imageUrl=$urlStack[$imageToUse];
#print "got $imageUrl and $imageName ";
//
?>
<a href="<?php echo $imageUrl; ?>"><img src="http://mywebsite.com/admin/uploads/<?php echo $imageName; ?>" alt="click here for our special offers" border=0 /></a>
I have written a javascript slideshow with pause-play-next-previous buttons, but the images are too many and users have to wait too long especially with slower connections - i wonder if anybody can suggest a way to implement the script with fast preloading of the first few images, increment preloading or a similar trick. I will copy my code below but i also copy first this link:
[URL]
which is an example of increment loading slideshow working fine! javascript and i wouldnt know how to customize it in order to take away the link function, that i dont need, and add captions and buttons etc.
I do know some jquery plugin could do but i am trying to go more into the code, even though i still need a lot of advices and tutorials, the goal is solving this specific problem but also learning! Thx a lot in advance.
Here my code (just 2 images here in the list to make it shorter for you, the complete list is more than 50 pics!):
<script language="JavaScript"> <!-- var interval = 8000; var random_display = 0; var imageDir = "portraits/";
Okay, so I've been trying to pick up JavaScript and JQuery. And I have a few questions, would be very grateful for answers: -If I'm making a sliding image gallery with JQuery, how do I store my images in an array? I take it this is the best way? I've made a JQuery gallery by assigning each image an ID, and hiding the ones that aren't required. This looks like bad practice though.
I take it it should work with a standard JavaScript array, then reference the position of the image I've loaded? like [0][1][2] etc, but something must be amiss in my code. So basically, I've animated my image in, and there's a next button that I want to take me to the next image in the sequence.
only 4 changes to make and your ready to go! Faster than naming all your pictures one by one in an array. You just need to name your pictures 001.jpg, 002.jpg and so on...
<!-------------- Begin Slideshow ------------------->
<!-- change the path and name of your first image --> <!-- if your images don't all have the same size, just leave out the width and height--> <img src="../images/005.jpg" width="640" height="480" name="photoslider">
I want to store my images in a folder images/slideshow/1.jpg for all my images up to 10.jpg. I have tried to adjust the code so i can store the images in a folder but the code cant find the images.
I am at a loss for what to do next to get these slideshows functioning. You can see the current iteration here[url]...
I am using hte plug in galleria, and I have got it working in a stand alone version with the same images and and folder structure. The difference may be that I have the content nested in these div tags? to create tabs. i really don't know.
Here is the structure within the portfolio tab, under the Identity heading: ( there will be more images once I get this working [code]...
I have a PHP script that will get images out of the database and display them in a grid. I have two verisons. I save a thumbnail which I display and then a larger image in a different folder. These images are placed in a scroll bar but what I would like to happen is that when I click on a thumbnail it basically displays the bigger image until I click on that image and it goes away. I would love for the middle of the image to be displayed in the middle of the users screen but beggers probably can't be choosers in this case.
An example of a similar desired result is a link here:http://qrayg.com/experiment/hig/Instead of the hover, I'd like to utilize the onclick to display and remove the image. If it's easy to put the center in the center of the screen that that would be absolutely incredible as well.
I have preloaded the images i want to use into an array and want to cycle thruindefinitely each image in the array, and use the each function on the array. The array isvar imgs = [];
I have a div such as this
<div id="mydiv"></div> & with current styling such as this - #mydiv{ background-image: url(myimg.jpg);
[Code]....
only the last image shows up... I am going around the bend ( turning green, red, and face rgb (255,255,255)
I know that Picasa does give the facility of exporting images as a slideshow, but their version contains user controls which we don't want and it is also in Flash - our IT dept don't really support Flash!
Anyway, the slideshow I would like to use and the image gallery display using Picasa images that I have already done can be seen on this test page [URL].
The gallery pulls the images from Picasa using the API in the page body:
Alrighty so here's what I have. Live example: [URL] It's a image slideshow that dynamically gets all the images (via php) in the current directory and puts them into the slideshow array. The array then randomly displays the images in the slideshow (via javascript). There are 5 images in the folder rotateimage which also has the php script getimages.php in it. Currently only the first image fades in however I want all the images to fade in as the first one does.
I created a slideshow that displays the 5 images randomly. It is for a college project for a class I am in.
Here is the HTML for the area that holds the images
And here is the external .js file for it
I had the slideshow working completely fine... then when i finished the rest of the site and added more pages, it is now not working for me. It just sits at the original image that is loaded when they site loads.
At my whits end with trying to get jquery cycle to play nice with IE and pngs. I know its the opacity issue but I just can't tweak it.Can someone please suggest a better solution for my slideshow? Check the link below to see what I have now. i would like something similar that is also clean.http://vismarkgroup.com/dev/vision/
I would then like all the images I use in the slideshow to fit within this area (i.e. 420 x 250). The images will all have a height of 250px, but different widths. For widths less than 420px I would like the image to be positioned centrally in the div along the horizontal axis as in the following image:
for images wider than 420px I would like them to be positioned centrally in the div along the vertical axis as in the following image: wonder if it's possible to achieve this with Slideshow 2! and if not, whether another script will help me achieve this?
