autoGallery

For the 217 other people that have viewed this thread: AutoGallery 2.0 is now with beta testers. Should be able to put it up later in the week.

It now has support for flv and mp3 files - in that it will prefix their URLs with a defined string, so you can play them with a player.
The code is less of a mess so I should be able to add things quickly, and other people might not think so little of me when they read it.
It supports a quality argument for the tn generator.

With the old version I have also figured one little thing. FCKeditor creates thumbnails of images with a name .thumb_**** (****=name of the image). Would it be possible to omit showing+"tn creation" of these files on the particular directory?

What I ought to have done is excluded all files that start with a dot! That would be a more sensible UNIX approach, wouldn’t it?

Thanks for pointing me there... got it now working:

Ok, I feel slightly daft because I put:


;)

But you left in the bits that test for ’.’ and ’..’ that are now redundant, so I think we are even

This will be in the released version. This will wind up the one guy who WANTS to show files beginning with dots...

Hello!

How can I make that the thumbnails will be arranged by rows and columns?

I’m nub with modx.

Thanx!

Martyn does the front side visual stuff, I don’t really understand it

I think he does it by putting each item in a span of a fixed width then putting the snippet call in a div of a fixed width that is an exact multiple of the span width, so they wrap round after exactly N items and line up nicely.

AutoGallery doesn’t support output in tables. Martyn wouldn’t let me

hehe@ramsay

ok in the chunk .. just put everything inside a fixed width and hieght span that is floated left ....
Thats how i normally do it, you can set margins etc to get your gris effect.

Cheers

Hi,

i’d like to test out this snippet but i’m struggling at stage 1...could someone give me an example of how the chunk would be written using the placeholders?

My html will something like this...

<div id="left-main-image">
<img src="#" alt="#" />
</div>
<div id="right-gallery">
<div class="right-gallery-thumbs">
<a href="#" title="#"/><img src="#" alt="#" /></a>
</div>
</div>

Thanks
