Image carousel in home page

I would remove the HTML comments.

Two suggestions:
- change line in the snippet to:
$dir = "assets/templates/myfolder_v1/carousel/";
- call it uncached while testing:
[[!carousel]] (or [!carousel!] for Evo)

:(((

I’ve used

[[!carousel]] (on revo)

(without <!-- -->)

in my snippet I’ve:

$dir = "assets/templates/temp_v1/carousel/";

I show an empty page

Can you paste your full snippet here - not just that one line?

And... ’assets/templates/temp_v1/carousel/’ is definitely where your images are?

This is my snippet

<?php
$dir = "assets/templates/temp_v1/carousel/";
$output = ’’;
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if(filetype($dir.$file) == ’file’) && $file != ’.’ && $file != ’..’)
$info = pathinfo($file);
$file_name = basename($file,’.’.$info[’extension’]);
$output .= ’<img title="’.$file_name.’" alt="" src="’.$dir.$file’" />’;
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
return $output;




all my images are in

’assets/templates/temp_v1/carousel/’

Umm why not just use the gallery plugin and customize it with the gallery type you want to use?

I created this gallery from scratch with some jquery although its not as fancy as probably what you want but the process is very simple.

Hmmm I think this can be my first tutorial

Try this (syntax error in your code):


@ben - he wanted to pull images from a folder dynamically rather than use the manager, that’s what the snippet above does. However plenty of people are interested in putting a gallery together but not sure how to start. Have a crack at writing a tute, it would definitely be appreciated!

Now I show 2 images....

[[!carousel]]

Not 1 image but 2 images
in the same area

Thanks

It should display any images you have in that folder. So if two images, two displayed on screen.

I think you wanted to display them as a carousel, you need to set that up correctly so it will only show one image at a time. Which one are you trying to implement?

You now need to apply your jquery script you chose to now use the list you have created.

I like this carousel style
