Re: [Cliff] Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie and I love the Dynamic Gallery posted by "dedbob"

My problem is that I the thumbnails appears as a missing image (red x) everything else works.

Maybe I am not using the fixed version of it.

Please someone help.

Re: [newton] Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Newton,

Thanks for the post! Smile

Without taking a look at your website I can't be too sure why the images don't seem to be coming up for you. If you would be able to post a link to your website where this is taking a place I should be able to take a look at that and see what may be happening.

If you're not able to link to your site you could also attach the template file you're using to your next post and I could look at that for you to see if there is anything in the template that looks like it may be causing the problem.

I look forward to hearing from you! Smile

Re: [newton] Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Newton.

Thanks for posting your template!

Everything in there looks fine to me so what I am thinking the problem might be is that your template is looking for .jpg images but you are actually uploading .gif images instead.

Because .jpg is hardcoded right onto the template, you’ll need to make sure that all the images you are uploading have a .jpg extension. As an alternative, you could change any .jpg on the template to .gif.

Could you look into that for me and see if it gets you going?

If you have anymore questions, just let me know Smile.

Re: [ross] Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hello Ross,

I'm only uploading only .jpg images.


I think the problem is that the thumbnails are not being created.

On my setup I have:
Perl image module detected None. Thumbnails are not available.

Am I missing something??


Thanks,

newton

Re: [newton] Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Actually, if you don't have the ability to use thumbnails, you will need to modify the link to the thumbnail images.

Change:
img src="$listing_url_je$/images/$listing_num_je$_1_t.jpg"
To:
img src="$listing_url_je$/images/$listing_num_je$_1.jpg"

Do this for as many images as you have configured the template to use.

I would highly suggest that you find a host that has GD or Imagemagick installed. We have it here where I work, and we have several LM sites on our servers. I wouldn't host LM with a hosting provider that didn't have GD or Imagemagick.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott.

Thanks for posting!

That’s something I hadn’t thought of yet so it’s great that you put this up for newton.

As always, I really appreciate you jumping in again to lend a hand. I also agree that Listings Manager can really benefit from a server that has either GD or ImageMagick installed.

If anyone else has any questions about the dynamic gallery, just let us know Smile.

Re: [ross] Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Ross

I've used the template just as you suggested and it's great!!!!!!!

Many thanks.



Just one stupid question cause I'm not up on programming.

On mouse over every photo says 'Rear patio', I've looked at the coding and it reads ...alt=Rear patio.

How do I change that to copy the photo description?

Thanks for all your help.

Re: [subedar] Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Neville,

Thanks for the post! Smile

To make this change you'll just want to open up the two template files that Ross had provided (_images.html and _publish_listing.html) and look for this piece of code:

<img src="$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$" width=$thumbnail_width$ border=1 alt="Rear Patio">

You can just change this so it looks like this:

<img src="$listing_url$/images/$thumbnail$" width=$thumbnail_width$ border=1 alt="$desc$">

This means that the alt tag will output the description of that particular image rather than "Rear Patio".

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to let me know! Smile

Hi Brent,

Thanks for the post! Smile

I'm actually not too sure what you were referring to with the link from the publish_listing page. Ross' example allows you to actually add that code directly to your _publish_listing.html so all of those images will show up right with the listings.

If you could give me a bit more information about what you were hoping to set up I'd be happy to go into more detail for you.

I look forward to hearing from you Brent! Smile

Re: [MikeB] Tutorial : Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

HELP! please look at this and tell me why t is reproducing itself as many times as the number of photos i upload:

http://65.109.44.98/listings/l0001.shtml

if i upload three photos it reporduces the photo section three times, if I upload 10 photos it does it 10 times, but the mouseover seems to be broke as well.

Forget it i FINALLY figured it out... I for some reason was in thehabit of selecting the image order so i had the image order set on my listing, when i removed it and only have the preview image selected it removed all my duplicates.

Re: [mbodamer] Tutorial : Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

I had a look at your page and I am not sure I can see anything wrong. The images that are appearing there are the ones you have selected with the image drop down menus in your Listings Editor. If you could give me a few more details about what you still needed a hand with, I would be more than happy to take a closer look.

Let me know Smile.

Re: [ross] Tutorial : Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Sorry,

what i mean is that the alt tag for the images does not correspond with the description typed in for that image. for instance if you hover over each photo they all have teh same alt tag of "1". i named the photos 1-10. I was assuming that when i hover over the second picutre it would show "2" as the alt tag, "3" for the third and so on.

thanks

 Hi Maurice.

Thanks for clearing that up Smile.

I can see the problem now, but I am not quite sure why it’s happening. Do you think you could post up your template for me to have a look at? I’d like to see how the code is setup.

If you wanted to private message me with it, that would be fine. Either way, I look forward to hearing from you Smile.

Here she is... also I noticed the work around if a listing does not have 10 photos to place the onerror= line in there.... instead of having the onerror= an image that says "no image" can t be made to not display anything?

appreciate the help.

Hi Maurice.

Thanks for the update!

I don’t think the attachment made it though Smile. Could you have another go at that?

In the meantime, what you can do with your onerror is point it to a blank image instead. Listings Manager comes with a great one you can use: /listman/images/spacer.gif

Does that seem like it would work? Let me know what you think Smile.

Re: [mbodamer] Tutorial : Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi mbodamer,

Thanks for the post and thanks for attaching this file! Smile

The reason you're running into the same alt tag for each image has to do with the way these images are being output. The image tags themselves are hardcoded to display a specific image ($listing_num_je$_2.jpg, $listing_num_je$_3.jpg, etc). Because these hardcoded tags are within the "image" templatecell all of the $desc$ tags are referencing the first image.

I've played around with this and it doesn't seem like there is a way to get the alt tag to match the photo that is actually being output because of the way this is being hardcoded for the image gallery.

One option is to also hardcode the alt values as the image number, so your first image would be "1", the second would be "2" and so on. If you did this right in the template the values would be correct and would show up for every listing.

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions or comments, just let me know! Smile

Re: [MikeB] Tutorial : Dynamic Image Gallery [In reply to] Can't Post

just want to say thanks to eveyone who's contributed to this forum, i've learnt loads :)

i love the dynamic image gallery but it's not really how i want my images laid out, but i think i've managed to figure out how to customise the code to do what i want.

i just have one question, to display image 1 the code is $listing_num_je$_1.jpg but what should i replace the 1.jpg with to get it to display the preview image?

cheers, sophie
