Plugin: Keyboard Navigation

[Αndré]

With this plugin you can navigate to the previous/next picture, go back to the thumbnail page and switch the file info details via the keyboard arrows.

Great!

Sounds great, going to give it a whirl now. Thanks for the nice Plugin

Is it intended to only work for logged in Users? If not, that is what i am seeing currently.

[Αndré]

Thanks for your report. I haven't tested it only while I was logged in

Please see my first post. With version 1.1 it should work for all users.

Oh, i apologize for bugging you once again, but one of the Visitors mentioned a good idea, is that will there be a way to change the functions of the Keys? For example, instead of the DOWN ARROW KEY, opening the Information, it could instead scroll down a small amount with each hit, or be held down to continue scrolling?

This would be a excellent addition, though i was unsure if this was thought of yet, so i just thought i'd pass the idea by, this Plugin has a good future to it

Open codebase.php and delete lines 52-56:

Code:

if(Tastencode == 40)
{
blocking('picinfo','yes', 'block');
return false;
}

The rest should be done by the browser (tested with Firefox).

Awesome. Thank you very much

You're using EnlargeIt! which comes with its own keyboard navigation (and uses the same JS key listener). It doesn't make much sense to me to combine it with eenemeenemuu's plugin?!?

I've nothing to add.

I visited your website and keyboard navigation (with EnlargeIt!) works fine for me.

Thanks for this useful plugin, eenemeenemuu! I edited the code to add the ability to use the same shortcuts that gmail uses, in case anyone is interested in implementing it, too:

in codebase.php

Code:

if(Tastencode == 37 || Tastencode == 75 || Tastencode == 80) //left arrow or k or p
window.location = document.getElementById('prev').href;
if(Tastencode == 39 || Tastencode == 74|| Tastencode == 78) //right arrow or j or n
window.location = document.getElementById('next').href;
if(Tastencode == 38 || Tastencode == 85) //up arrow or u
window.location = document.getElementById('thumb').href;
if(Tastencode == 40 || Tastencode == 79) //down arrow or o
{
blocking('picinfo','yes', 'block');
return false;
}

I never thought about using other keys than the arrow keys

If desired, it should not be very hard to add a config page where the admin (or maybe each user itself) can choose his/her preferred keys.

Thoughts?

Hi,
I just installed the plugin and arrows up and down work just fine, but arrows left and right don't seem to work at all (nothing happens, when pressed). Am I doing something wrong? The site is foto.stulc.cz. I would be grateful for help.

Open codebase.php, find

Code:

$html = str_replace('><img src="'.$location.'images/prev.gif"', ' accesskey="b" id="prev"><img src="'.$location.'images/prev.gif"', $html);
$html = str_replace('><img src="'.$location.'images/next.gif"', ' accesskey="n" id="next"><img src="'.$location.'images/next.gif"', $html);

and replace with

Code:

$html = str_replace('><img src="'.$location.'images/nav_left.gif"', ' accesskey="b" id="prev"><img src="'.$location.'images/nav_left.gif"', $html);
$html = str_replace('><img src="'.$location.'images/nav_right.gif"', ' accesskey="n" id="next"><img src="'.$location.'images/nav_right.gif"', $html);

BTW: You are running an old version of Coppermine with a lot of security vulnerabilities. Upgrade to the latest version immediately!

[kryspin]

Thank you so much. Now it works like miracle.

I know I should upgrade, but I made a lot of mods (all from this forum) to the code and I don't really want to loose them. But I know I'll have to do it soon anyway.

A config page for admins might be useful. User based config page should be admin configurable.
