Image Scroller - based on iTunes [link to Intermediate]

[rphMedia]

This is similar to this mod except the center image now links to the Intermediate page.

1. Same as most of my mods, drop the 3 files (flow_link.php, flow_link.swf, AC_RunActiveContent.js) to the root of your gallery
2. Modify the Flash script (example inside flow_link_example.htm) to indicate the absolute path to flow_link.php on your server
3. Include the script in your anycontent (or for the advanced, put the script anywhere on your site)

That's it.

I will take a limited amount of custom requests, if my time permits. I'll subject line it with the custom attachment.

The images are currently 160x120 and the exact dimension of the Flash file is 900x400 (most users, I believe, are 1024x768 display resolution or greater). You could probably adjust it minimally without too much distortion. Currently, the flow_link.php picks up the last 20 images loaded to your gallery (respects private albums). You can change this to whatever you like (eg., ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20, specific album, etc).

If I forgot anything, let me know. Enjoy !

Are you going to be working on trying to get the transparent wmode to work in Firefox? (I have no clue what will cause it to work in IE but not Firefox)

Kind of a shame I am currently limited to a background color, since I am using a gradient background.

I can't fix it, but I do research the issue and right now - no clue as to why. The other version of this mod does allow transparency. Just doesn't have the 'link to Intermediate' feature.
This is fixed via latest version(s) of Flash Player.

Had been running your previous version fine and the install seemed simple enough.  But I click on the center image it does not take me to the intermediate image.

Am I missing something?

[Gephri]

sorry for the double post, but the doesn't pull images from album #44

Code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS p WHERE filename LIKE '%.jpg' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20, 44");

any idea

How can I tell if you're missing something without a link??

[Nibbler]

That's not what a double post is.

You misread the instructions. Should be:

Code:

SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS p WHERE filename LIKE '%.jpg' AND aid = 44 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 20

rphMedia - right, here's the link:

For your "movie" parameter in the flash code, change it from 'flow' to 'flow_link' - you're still pulling the old flash file 'flow'.

[Gephri]

ok - done that, but now nothing shows.
Should I change also flow to flow_link for "id" and "name" ?

[rphMedia]

Which means that 'flow_link.swf' is not in that directory. The other 2 parameters don't need the change.

[Gephri]

thanks - works very nicely in the gallery on anycontent.php!

one last thing - that could also help others:
Can you show what needs to be done for getting this mod to pull from one web site to the gallery on another?

[rphMedia]

This version does it automatically (if your server(s) support it). If it doesn't pull the images from another domain, then one or both of the servers don't support it.

[Gephri]

please disregard my last post - all is good

rphMedia:
I've got a lot of different sized pictures in the albums. When the Image Scroller shows them - they're a little blurry.  Is there an update to the FlowNoScale tweak that will work with the latest flow_link version?

[Pahco]

I've been trying to get this to work on my site....but it doesn't.

I think it has something to do either with the fact that it's hosted on a subdomain, or that I'm using a Joomla/Cpg bridge.

The Bridge may be affecting it since only registered users in Joomla can view the gallery.  Not sure.


I did get the script added to my template correctly, and it shows up...just no images.  So, it's not finding the flow_link.php or is not able to access the images.


Any suggestions?  I'd really like to get this slick mod added to the top of my gallery.


BTW, I did create a gallery besides the user galleries, because I'm assuming user galleries wouldn't show up....but I am thinking this bridge might just be making all galleries seem private to the mod.

Yes: post real-life examples - your posting doesn't mean anything to supporters. Posting real-life links (and non-admin test user accounts if needed) will help. Posting your changes might help as well. There's no saying what is wrong with just a generic "doesn't work" posting like yours.

First and foremost - Thank you so much for this mod - it's a beautiful addition to the already great CPG. 

Just question/request - will we see a no-resize version of this?  The people uploading images to the galleries on my site won't be mspaint-literate, nevermind photoshop, so some pics will be landscape, some will be portrait, some will be non-standard (not 4:3). 

Album (temporary):

http://www.greyhoundsofshamrock.net/cpg/flow_link_example.htm

The 4th pic from the left is a portrait-ish pic and is terribly squashed... some of the other pics are square (300x300), so resizing the thumb still squashes a bit...

I saw a "no-resize" version of the swf on the previous (not-clickable) version... hoping to see one in this version!

Thanks much!

I really like the look of this Mod!  Thank you so much for creating it!
My request mirrors the post by “KB” above.
Your “flowNoScale.zip” fit my needs for the variety of photos sizes I have, but I love the linked “clickability” in your new version.  Any way to combine the two features?

[rphMedia]

I'll see what I can do, kinda busy lately. Give me a couple weeks.
