Imagescroller_XH

Hi

Thanks for quick replay (agen)

It works perfect!

thanks

Maybe there's a mix of both plugins in the planning ?

In planning, yes, but that is since a long time... Sorry.

Slideshow dosen't support that option, try flexslider xh

I know it's possible with Imagescroller_XH, but I wish for my images to show randomized.

That could be easily accomplished. Have a look at plugin/imagescroller/index.php. There are two functions that build an array of images: imagescroller_images_from_dir() and imagescroller_images_from_file(), where it would be possible to randomize the arrays:

Code: Select all

function imagescroller_images_from_dir($dir) {
...
    natcasesort($imgs); // remove this line
    shuffle($imgs); // insert this line
    return $imgs;
}
...
function imagescroller_images_from_file($fn) {
...
    shuffle($res); // insert this line
    return $res;
}

The modification of index.php for Imagescroller_XH works, but then it works just like Slideshow_XH - showing the images randomized. If I call Imagescroller_XH with the data file option supplying links for the images the images doesn't show randomized but in the order they are listed in the data file. Then it's just the same as Slideshow_XH apart from the link.

Tested the flexslider, but it doesn't really work for me - the images are all just shown at once in a long vertical list...

I'll stick with Slideshow_XH for now and use a separate page with links for all the images.

Hm, that should have been solved by the second mofication. The complete function:

Code: Select all

function imagescroller_images_from_file($fn) {
    $dir = dirname($fn).'/';
    $data = file_get_contents($fn);
    $data = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r"), "\n", $data);
    $recs = explode("\n\n", $data);
    foreach ($recs as $rec) {
    $rec = array_map('trim', explode("\n", $rec));
    $rec[0] = $dir.$rec[0];
    $res[] = $rec;
    }
    shuffle($res);
    return $res;
}

shuffle() in the second but last line should shuffle the array of images, so that their order is randomized.

Tested the flexslider, but it doesn't really work for me - the images are all just shown at once in a long vertical list...

That's most likely caused by a JavaScript error. If you like, you can have a look at the Error/JavaScript console of your browser (F12 -> ... depending on the browser).

Ouch - my mistake - a copy'n'paste mistake
Now it works just fine showing the images randomly with link. Btw - modified the index.php so that the links are opened in a new window (a suggestion for the next version )
Now I just need a simple way to turn off the navigation buttons - don't need that and I feel they do get in the way because my images are just about 180x110 px.

Make them "display:none" in plugin stylesheet.

Make them "display:none" in plugin stylesheet.

Or use transparent 1x1 px PNGs instead (replace the respective images in plugins/imagescroller/images/): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1x1.png

Changed .show into .hide in this line of the plugins' index.php:

Code: Select all

$(this).find('img.imagescroller_prev, img.imagescroller_next, img.imagescroller_play, img.imagescroller_stop').show()

into

Code: Select all

$(this).find('img.imagescroller_prev, img.imagescroller_next, img.imagescroller_play, img.imagescroller_stop').hide()

Works like a charm and I'm happy Thank You all!

PS: If I would need the original Imagescroller_XH plugin functionality somewhere else on my site - could I then simply make a copy of the plugin folder and name it differently?

Or maybe a new variable in config.php:

Code: Select all

$plugin_cf['imagescroller']['navig']="0"; //0 = hide, 1 = show
