smd_gallery: super-flexible gallery generator

Thanks for the quick reply colak :-)

But is it also possible to do this without having to make articles so i only use forms?

@ Bloke:
I am having some trouble using the gallery…
I have a form of this kind:

<txp:smd_gallery id="?article_image" form="article_image" offset="1" pageform="article_image_nav" limit="1" debug="0" navclass="gallery_nav" />

so, as you see I should skip the first image and count the remaining ones to be displayed one per page. while the plugin seems to output all the images without offset…
any idea?
thanks

And masa, I never thought of using overrides like that; great tip, thanks :-)

Re my previous comment on using different forms to provide a selection of gallery setups here

I have a client that might want to display a gallery as a Lightbox-style- or a more conventional one depending on the content. I can set up different forms for each to choose from the “form override” select, but I also want to hide all the other article forms that show up in there to make sure they can’t screw up.
Can I just set those article forms to type=misc without breaking anything?

The real questions is perhaps, what does the form type attribute do? Is it mainly for organising purposes or are there underlying, technical differences?

I know, only article forms can be previewed, but that doesn’t bother me.

They are just for categorization, and they make sense for the “Tag generator” (on the left sidebar).
But there aren’t any underlying technical difference on how the form will work.

Thanks Julián, much appreciated!

Bloke (or anyone else)

I Have come across a problem that I am hoping I can get some assiatnce on. I am using smd_gallery which is awsome in conjunction with Aaron’s Slideshow2. See Sample Here The integration and everything else is working great. Please over look the minor details (ie thumbnails are not displaying fully) since this is only a sample.

My problem is this: If you put “www” in front of the domain name, it works perfect in IE and Firefox. If I take out “www” it works fine in IE, but does not work in Firefox. Now to add one more niggle to the equation, I can get it to work fine in Firefox without the “www” if I change the root field in TXP and remove the “www”, but then it breaks IE.

So the short of it is, I am not sure if this is a browser issue, a TXP, Aaron’s code; Bloke’s code (highly doubt it) or a combination. Any and all assitance would be appreciated.

I have listed below the code I am using just in case it helps:

HEADER CODE:

<script type="text/javascript" src="mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="slideshow.js"></script>

PAGE CODE:

<txp:smd_gallery category="slideshowBloke" form="slideshowBloke" 
combo="imagecap::'{imagedef}': { 'caption': '{title}' }" collate="1" paramdelim="::" />

FORM CODE:

<div id="show" class="slideshow">
<img src="{imagepath#1}{imagedef#1}" alt="{alt#1}" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var data = {{imagecap}};
  var myShow = new Slideshow('show', data, {captions: true, controller: true, height: 533, hu: '{imagepath#1}', thumbnails: true, width: 800 });
</script>

TXP ADMIN SITE URL SETTING:

www.progressivetechnology.net

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Also, Bloke did you get my email? Let me know, because I have a question offline kinda about that same subject.

This domain / subdomain issue has been mentioned somewhere in this thread (I think) but of course I can’t find it now. Typical!

From what I recall, it boils down to trust. If the way you specify the site domain, and/or the images, and /or the flash component don’t all match, the slideshow throws a fit becaues it thinks you are trying to scam it from a different domain.

Quite why it behaves differently in different browsers I have no idea. I think I’ve fixed it in the past by making sure that my site URL does not have a ‘www’ in it, and then forcing all URLs to remove ‘www’ via a fairly standard two-line .htaccess rule. Once everything was using the same system the problem went away (if you prefer, you can of course force the ‘www’ to be present). Try that and see if it helps. Check the source code of the page is rendering the images with/without the ‘www’ and everything is coherent.

And yes I did get your message yesterday thanks. Didn’t get a chance to look at it last night but I’ll try again later.

Bloke:

Thanks for the quick response, I thought I had seen it to, but cannot find it myself in the thread.

I have tried several .htaccess versions (figuring that may be the answer) but each one I do breaks the site. If you would be so kind to post the .htaccess the code you would use it would be much apprecaited.

Once you have had a chnace to take a look at the other stuff, give me a shout.

My usual one is something along the lines of:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.site\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Whether that’s the most efficient or best route is something I haven’t a clue about. .htaccess is a dark art. It just worked, so I never questioned it :-)

progre55 · 2009-02-13 14:52:50

Bloke:

I tried your code:

———————-

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.site\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://progressivetechnology.net/$1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteEngine On #RewriteBase /relative/web/path/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$ RewriteRule .* – [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

——————

I get this error:

Redirect Loop

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

If I put another domain in place of mine, it redirects to that domain with no problem.

I am sure it is something simple :) but can’t figure out why?

Tried that with same result.
