Thumb_Rotate plugin for cpg1.5.x

(1/11) > >>

Timos-Welt:
What's this?
This plugin will rotate your thumbnails randomly, giving your gallery a 'comic' look.
Have a look at the attached screenshot to get an impression.
The plugin currently is an alpha version, so use with care!

Requirements
- a fast server
- additional space for the generated thumbnails
- PHP 4.3.2 or PHP 5
- PHP with working GD2 (ImageMagick will NOT work!)
  
Install
1. Unzip.
2. Upload folder thumb_rotate to the plugin folder of your gallery.
3. Install via plugin manager.

SaWey:
What about using something like this: http://www.swfir.com/ ?
Should be much less resource intensive.

Timos-Welt:
Good idea, but...


--- Quote ---    * Resizing/zooming in Opera crashes the browser
    * Flash of unstyled content: images load first before JavaScript replaces them
    * alt text is not preserved upon replacement
    * HTML right-click options are disabled
    * Incompatible with other JS libraries like Prototype or MooTools
    * Doesn’t work with hot-linked images because of security restrictions in Flash

SaWey:
I wouldn't use their javascript but only the flash file, this should escape most of those problems

Timos-Welt:
Update to version 0.2.

Changes:
- possibility for image border
- better thumb quality
- a few code optimisations

@SaWey: Flashbased_Thumb_Rotate is a nice name for a new plugin, isn't it?  ;)
