[aj]

I know i don't have many images up yet. But I've been spending a lot of time working on the gallery apperance.

Thanks Luis Borruel & Matias Asun Hamel

This is what I have so far.

variation on Luis' design - it seems to be working.

Note - you don't have to use all the same size photos

Thanks again Luis on the Javascript!

Luis: that's terrific
and CJ : a wonderful implementation ! Not to mention you have
a great side menu.

Inspiring (and freeing too)

I agree CJs implementation is incredibly nice looking. Great design.

I want to include a small slideshow on my root page, but haven't found the time yet. Also I can't quite figure out how I want to design it, I like how my root gallery looks now - http://www.pbase.com/flemmingbo - and have been trying to come up with a design that would incorporate the slideshow and a small menu as well.
Ideas are welcome, I seem to have run out

regards,

Flemming

My new look. Contains flash so it may be slower for dialup users.

for me, that's the nicest so far.. yeah like you say, it's a little slow, but that's ok, worth the wait as there's some fantastic images in there.

whilst i very much admire the technical proficiency of the other guys' work, i personally don't like the busy look of some of them. Sorry to be the lone voice in that, but i would rather the images were the main thing, not a bio or latest news.
We seem to be lauding people for a good design, actually we're lauding them for their ability to code/use code well.

Don't let coding get in the way of your pics please people...

Just a provoking thought, hope i don't get flamed too much!

Does anyone know how to randomise the order of the images in an html slideshow?

Thanks

[jeffreyk]

Thanks lord_of_the_badgers, I have always perferred simple designs to make the content take center stage. I think i did okay this time around, but my next revision should smooth out some of the rough spots, lol whenever I get around to that I must say I really like yours, and your photos are amazing. I have visited your gallery many times before and I am always impressed. So I am happy you like my site. Thanks again.

This is fantastic! And thank you for making it available to us.

Not sure if it's been explained before, but a slight hiccup for me...

Here's my board here: http://www.pbase.com/kerrym/kc
My last image is kind of sticky, and doesn't load properly. Have I got something out of kilta would anybody know? I'll post here the coding which is around the images - I hope that's enough. The last one has "rovinj" in it, is that correct?

Code: Select all

var slideCache = new Array();

//the files to be shown

var imageFiles= "http://www.pbase.com/kerrym/image/65139143.jpg;"+

"http://www.pbase.com/kerrym/image/65139142.jpg;"+

"http://www.pbase.com/kerrym/image/65139145.jpg;"+

"http://www.pbase.com/kerrym/image/65139140.jpg;"+

function blendimage(divid, imageid)

I know this should probably be easy, but I'm stumped. I read the instructions below that were posted earlier, but I cannot find any 'gallery header' info in the style sheet. I also checked the javascript and I don't see it there either. I'd like to remove the gallery title from the page since I've uploaded a jpg file to serve as the title at the top, but I need some help figuring out how it can be done.

I am still tweaking my test page and I have not actually changed my home page yet. If anyone wants to take a look at it and make a suggestion as to how I can remove the "Test Gallery 001" title, I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks..... Tim

try inserting this code on the top of your CSS. Remove the DIV.galleryheader portion in the middle of your CSS so that the inserted code will not be overridden.


table
{
margin-top :-35;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}


DIV.galleryheader {
width : 90%;
margin : auto;
border-style : solid;
border-width : 2pt;
border-color : #222222;
text-align : center;
font-size : 10pt;
display : block;
}

div.galleryheader Table
{
display : table;
}


DIV.thumbnails TABLE
{
display : table;
margin-top : 15px;
margin-bottom : 3em;
}



I hope this will help

Well, just to follow up on my earlier post, I finally got enough of it figured out to make the changes in my root directory.

There are still a couple outstanding issues, with the main one being figuring out how to roll some of the blank grey space at the top of the directory off the top, so that my title image sits closer to the top of the page.

Thanks to all who have posted here, as I have picked up tid-bits of help from various posts. If anyone can help me with my last outstanding problem, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tim

Used Luis Borruel´s wonderful CSS and slideshow script, and customized it quite a bit.

Here´s how it came out: http://www.pbase.com/johannes_tallroth

edit: note to Tim...your site looks great...just for anyone wondering, to remove the title, just leave the "title" box blank on your editing page.
