Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better solutions?
I'm using a slideshow PHP page to display images that are in a directory, These images get uploaded daily and visiting the page( http://ace2weather.com/sunrise.htm )loads the images for the slideshow.
Although this works, it tends to stumble on load and the transition effects from image to image are poor..
I've searched high and low for a better slider that allows images to sorted with date or file name with better fade effects, but nothing that works well for what I'm after..
code for the PHP below
http://ace2weather.com/slide/images/slideshow.txt
Maybe you know of a better slideshow PHP that can grab images from a folder with automatic play and fade in/out effects...

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
Hi Chris,
I use this http://hrvistaweather.com/upload/upload/index.php by http://sye.dk/sfpg/
However I don't feel it meets all your requirements, customization may achieve it though.
The other one I use (uses) java and requires manual setup of image names etc http://hrvistaweather.com/webcam/index.php
The other one I use which is also not what your after I suppose uses java again (I use it for my GFS Maps) http://hrvistaweather.com/weather/wxgfs_slp.php can be found : http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/simplegallery.htm
regards,

Ideal for a gallery but not suitable for a slideshow..

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
There are obviously lots of code snippets out there, which if the don't do what you want someone of your experince should be able to mash.
I assume your biggest gripes are your image load times (which of course will be determined by their size, and the actual transition effect)
Here's one I found after a very quick search with a nice smooth transition which should be useable. http://javascriptkit.com/script/script2 ... ndex.shtml

I'll take another look.....

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
This script simply dos not want to run on my site and I have no idea why.....
Done everything in instructions and nothing, just doesn't like me!!!!
Edited as needed(demo.htm), Images in location where the PHP's, thumbnails in location(wanting to get rid of that anyway)
Maybe it won't run on my web space????

You didn't give a link to the test page ....
It shouldn't make a difference but ..

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
And yet another issue, It like to count backwards instead of forwards (23,22,21 blah blah) with the date or changing it to file name
I've changed the date in fpslideshowvar. format to match time/date format
but makes no difference, I suspect it's looking in the wrong section for file date/time...
I've changed the date in fpslideshowvar. format to match time/date format
Code: Select all
$filedate=date ("D, d y H:i:s", filemtime($file));

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
You are an awkward cuss
Sorting is NOT being done by the php part of the script but the js code (I don't know why ?)
So put that back the way it was (Presumeably a js recognizable format)
The options to sort by filename or date are at the bottom of the js script.
To change the order of the sort you will need to get your hands dirty

Additional customizations
Inside fpslideshow.js at the very end you'll find the initialization code that jumps start the script:
fullpageslideshow.init({ //initialize script
imagesobj: fpslideshowvar, //no need to change. Object variable referencing images as generated inside "fpslideshowvar.php"
thumbdir: 'thumbnails', //sub directory directly below main images directory containing the thumbnail versions.
sortby: 'date', //sort by "date" or "filename"
fadeduration: 1000,
thumbdimensions:[30,30],
autorotate:{enabled:false, pause: 4000}
})
Code: Select all
if (options.sortby=="date")
// images.sort(function(a,b){return new Date(b[2])-new Date(a[2])})
images.sort(function(a,b){return new Date(a[2])-new Date(b[2])}) // *** NEW
else{
images.sort(function(a,b){ //sort by file name
var filea=a[1].toLowerCase(), fileb=b[1].toLowerCase()
// return (filea<fileb)? -1 : (filea>fileb)? 1 : 0
return (filea>fileb)? -1 : (filea<fileb)? 1 : 0 // *** NEW
})
}

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
Slight edit to
Only issue is how to permanently remove the thumbnails.
As it only displays in full screen, I added in using iframe, but those thumbnail dead links appear....
And, yes, yes I am awkward

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
JQuery isn't 'my thing' I'm afraid ....
but you could try:
no guarantees !!!
... and to size / position on a page perhaps:
but you could try:
Code: Select all
jQuery(function($){
var slideshow=fullpageslideshow
var layers=$('<div style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0; width:100%; height:100%;overflow:hidden;background:black;" />').clone().andSelf().appendTo(document.body)
// var thumbs=$(thumbsarr.join('')).appendTo(document.body)
// thumbs=thumbs.find('li')
// thumbs.each(function(i){
// var $thumb=$(this)
// this._index=i
// $thumb.css({left: 60*i+20})
// $thumb.click(function(){
// clearTimeout(slideshow.setting.rotatetimer)
// slideshow.changeimage(this._index)
// })
// })
slideshow.layers=layers
// slideshow.thumbs=thumbs
slideshow.templayer=$('<div style="position:absolute;left:-5000px;top:-5000px;visibility:hidden" />').appendTo(document.body)
slideshow.signalcomplete()
$(window).resize(function(){
if (imagesarr[slideshow.curimage].complete==true)
var cssattr=slideshow.scaleimage(imagesarr[slideshow.curimage])
slideshow.layers.eq(slideshow.layerorder.fg).find('img').css(cssattr)
})
})
... and to size / position on a page perhaps:
Code: Select all
scaleimage:function(imageref){
var od=imageref._specs, windoww=$(window).width(), windowh=$(window).height()
var neww=(od.w>od.h)? windoww : Math.round(windowh*od.w/od.h)
var newh=Math.round(neww*od.h/od.w)
if (neww>windoww){
neww=windoww
newh=Math.round(neww*od.h/od.w)
}
else if (newh>windowh){
newh=windowh
neww=Math.round(newh*od.w/od.h)
}
var xpos=(neww>=windoww)? 0 : windoww/2-neww/2
var ypos=(newh>=windowh)? 0 : windowh/2-newh/2
// return {width:neww+'px', height:newh+'px', left:xpos+'px', top:ypos+'px', position:'absolute'}
return {width:'500px', height:'350px', left:'20px', top:'200px', position:'absolute'}
// above values are examples ONLY
},

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
A little bit of success but, unfortunately your edit on removing thumbnails did not work, I did try that first up, but I found another way of stopping them been added.
I removed these 2 line only which worked removing them but doesn't seem to effect the slides workings....
This stops them loading, so that's that problem solved...
The display idea failed to the point of a black background and small slide window....doh...
I would have thought containing it in a div might work, but not....
So I'm still using the iframe method for now..
looks ok.....

Re: Automatic slide show from directory (PHP)- Better soluti
As I said
So you're on your own I'm afraid.
If so it worked .. the background (colour) is a css property
... and I haven't downloaded or run the files to 'dissect' them properly.JQuery isn't 'my thing' I'm afraid ....
