pics.txt in linux or // dir *.jpg > pics.txt in dos - you will need edit this with notepad/vi to clean // out any extra stuff that dir puts in there and to add the semi colon and // description. // the slideshow should now work including comments... // // Q: how do i give each directory of images it's own page heading? // A: place a file called heading.txt in each directory. place the page heading // on the first line of this file. // // Q: how do i use one slideshow for multiple different directories of images? // A: all you need to do to enable this is to call the script and pass it the // directory path. // // for example: // pictures_directory -> phpslideshow.php // -> dog_pics // -> cat_pics // so you have a directory called pictures_directory that contains your // phpslideshow.php and two directories containing pictures of your pets... // in order to access the shows: // http://yourserver.com/pictures_directory/phpslideshow.php?directory=dog_pics // http://yourserver.com/pictures_directory/phpslideshow.php?directory=cat_pics // // if there were images in the pictures_directory, you'd see them like this: // http://yourserver.com/pictures_directory/phpslideshow.php?directory=cat_pics // // these three examples will run phpslideshow but each one will load a different // set of images and descriptions located in the directories shown // // NOTE: for security, you can only access directories within the same dir as // the phpslideshow.php script... // // Q: how do i use phpslideshow.php in my existing web page or html template? // A: change the $standalone variable from true to false. // what this does is removes the html page headers and footers and only prints // out the phpslideshow table... // to use this in an existing php page, use the following line: // include("phpslideshow.php"); // don't forget that this is php code so it needs to be inside the // //My cool PHPSlideshow // // // EXAMPLE pics.txt file // // greg.jpg;Me // dog.png;My dog John // cat; // tux.jpg;My friend Tux // // NO BLANK LINES either! // as you can see, not all pics need a description // point your browser at the script and voilla! ##### CREDITS ##### // the following nice folks have contributed code snippets, bug fixes, ideas :) // patrick, nicolas, otto, wei-min lee, tom, jonathan, jason rust, hai phung // greg rundlett, laszlo (jabba), mike collard, justin, jadex, bunnyguy ################################################################################ ################################################################################ // some formatting options... $top_row_color = "#cccccc"; $image_row_color = "#ffffff"; $bottom_row_color = "#cccccc"; $page_background_color = "#ffffff"; $main_table_border_color = "#000000"; $img_border_color = "#000000"; $main_table_width = "60%"; $home_link = "HOME"; $next_alt = "Next"; $back_alt = "Back"; $your_home_url = "http://www.zinkwazi.com/pages.php?page_name=scripts"; // set this to true to display the image filename $show_image_name = "false"; // set to true to display navigation icons instead of text... $show_navigation_buttons = "false"; $back_button = "back.gif"; $next_button = "next.gif"; // automated slideshow options // set this to true to enable the auto slideshow feature $auto_slideshow = "false"; // $sec is number of seconds between slides... $sec = "2"; // set standalone to false if you are using this script in an existing php doc // e.g. insert the following line in the page where // you want phpslideshow to appear // include("phpslideshow.php"); // dont forget to remove the comment slashes... $standalone = "true"; // file containing optional image descriptions $pic_info_file="pics.txt"; // name of file containing optional page headings $heading_info_file = "heading.txt"; ################################################################################ // grab the variables we want set for newer php version compatability // the @ supress the error messages if your php.ini error level is too high @$currentPic = $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS']['currentPic']; @$directory = $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS']['directory']; // check for platform dependent path info...
