OK can you turn whatever is outputting all the preamble off?

RedFox · 2008-08-21 21:41:11

Done!

mrdale · 2008-08-22 00:18:43

OK your scripts were the problem I loaded the scripts from my server and everything works… feel free to download the scripts I’ve referenced, load them back up to your server and add your style.

@mrdale > thanks a lot!

[edit]
mrdale did get <aro_slideshow /> working. The .js files of the Slideshow folder I downloaded weren’t correct … so be aware which files you install! Go to this page > electricprism.com/aeron/slideshow 1/ for the real thing!

There is still the task to get <smd_gallery /> working with Slideshow. To be continued …

This is a great plugin. I switched from smd_slimbox looking for more functionality.
Now I need to have sort of menu from image categories (including nested categories) and when a category is clicked the thumbnails from that category are displayed. There will be hundreds of images in each category so the pagination will be necessary as well.
Can someone suggest a good way how to do that? Any help is appreciated. Please point me to the right direction if this kind of question was already asked before. Thanks

If I understand your intention correctly, daikw has been working on something like this. You might try direct contact or searching for related posts in this and other threads; some of the groundwork may well have been laid out for you.

Thank you Bloke, that looks similar to what I’m trying to achieve. I need to find a way to dynamically substitute category according to context. Is it possible?
For example I have a list of linked image categories and when the link is clicked the plugin should output images from that category. I came up with something like this:
<txp:category_list type="image" /><txp:smd_gallery category="<txp:category />" />
But the result is weired. It shows all images from all cats and what’s crazy it repeats every image for 9 times… Isn’t it possible to use something like category="<txp:category />"? It seems that plugin simply ignores that…

Here’s an example from my test site. The 9 images issue is not present here, I guess I did something wrong on the original site, but per-category output doesn’t work, it just throws all images… This is the code I used:
<h3>Photo</h3><h4><txp:category /></h4><txp:category_list type="image" /><ul id="thumbs"><txp:smd_gallery form="photos" category="<txp:category />" /></ul>
And the form:
<li><a href="{url}"><img alt="" src="{thumburl}"/></a>{name}</li>

I would be thankful if someone can help me with this.

xzamen, you’re attempting to nest txp tags. This isn’t possible with txp versions lte 4.0.6. (It will be in 4.0.7.) I don’t know if your tags will work, but at the moment I’d recommend trying asy_wondertag for nesting tags.

uli · 2008-08-25 13:18:24

Also, get rid of any tag faults that might be on your page, I see a superfluous " and the rest of a tag />, these can confuse the parsers.

xzamen · 2008-08-25 14:36:53

uli, thank you so much! You were very helpful! asy_wondertag does the trick. Great.
Those superfluous characters were the result of incorrect tag nesting.
Now I think smd_gallery turns to something totally almighty :)

The Cr creator will like to hear that ;D)

This is a little offtopic, but do you know a good replacement of <txp:category_list type="image" /> for displaying a linked list of image categories? I need to exclude some cats and also apply formatting for nested cats. Usually such plugins work with article cats only…

uli · 2008-08-25 22:00:12

I know about two plugins offering image category listing, upm_category_image and mah_lib_category_array. Have a look if one of them supports what you need.

xzamen · 2008-08-27 23:03:32

Uli, thanks for the links. upm_category_image doesn’t seem to be able to do what I want and mah_lib_category_array is not a tag plugin. Right now I don’t want to dive into php for this and also it seems there’s no way to apply formatting for nested cats. So I stick to <txp:category_list type="image" /> for now.
Another question on smd_gallery if you don’t mind. How do I show all images, but exclude images that doesn’t belong to any category (empty)?
