Anyone know of one? I would to auto-generate a web page full of thumbs, from a given directory, with ThickBox behaviour.

what you could do is:
- get a tool like irfanview to make thumbnails in a folder with images.
- make sure the thumbnails follow pivot's .thumb.jpg naming scheme..
- Write a small script in php that reads the dir, and outputs every found image as [[popup:bla:bla:bla]]
- Copy that output into a pivot entry, and you're done.

Thanks for teh advice, Bob.
Actually, I wasn't thinking of a snippet (shudder!), but something that I could use outside of Pivot (horror!)

I would LOVE a snippet that could do this..
Maybe with four parameters:
- folder
- columns
- max thumb height
- max thumb width
Something like:
[[gallery:images/somesubfolder/:3:50:50]]
The thumbs could/should be generated on the fly.
The final look and feel would be a table style, with x columns, so with the above mentioned example:
img1 ｦ img2 ｦ img3
img4 ｦ img5 ｦ img6
img7
I've got some code like this in asp/.net but I知 no php expert.
But this seems to be what I知 looking for, I値l keep on searching, if I can't find anything, maybe I値l look into re-coding the photo library into a snippet.

Maybe the following script works as a possible base for you Graham:
http://bolgallery.free.fr/
It basically generates html & thumbs of specified folders. |

I actually found a ready made extension :-)
http://forum.pivotlog.net/viewtopic.php?t=7061&highlight=gallery
The only problem I have with that one though is that it doesn't work on my windows host box.
So I致e manually 'hacked' that extension to work for me.
But I would still love to have some kind of 'front end media management' a.k.a. gallery included in pivot. Cause the next release might cripple my hacked extension.
Bob, the plogger one looks good; however it's again a gallery that requires a MySQL database. Since I only want to have generated thumbs & link to image I don't need all the additional stuff.
But I値l keep that one in mind if I need a more extensive gallery.
Cheers,
Joff

| I used www.sgal.org and hacked it a bit to use thickbox instead of a seperate page to display the images. Does the job wonderfully. |

Sure. I used singapore 0.10.1 for this.
Download jquery.js, and thickbox [ http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ ] and put them in the includes/ subdirectory.
Then, add this to the template's header:
| Code: |
<!-- Includes for the ThickBox script -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $sg->config->base_url ?>includes/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $sg->config->base_url ?>includes/thickbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $sg->config->base_url ?>includes/thickbox.css" />
<!-- End ThickBox includes --> |
Finally, apply this patch:
| Code: |
diff -u includes-orig/image.class.php includes/image.class.php
--- includes-orig/image.class.php 2007-01-12 23:37:44.000000000 +0200
+++ includes/image.class.php 2007-01-12 23:40:49.000000000 +0200
@@ -213,7 +213,7 @@
function thumbnailLink($class = "sgThumbnailAlbum", $type = "album")
{
- return '<a href="'.$this->URL().'">'.$this->thumbnailHTML($class, $type).'</a>';
+ return '<a href="'.$this->imageURL().'" title="'.$this->name().$this->byArtistText().'" class="thickbox" rel="album">'.$this->thumbnailHTML($class, $type).'</a>';
}
function thumbnailPopupLink($class = "sgThumbnailAlbum", $type = "album")
|
Hopefully, it'll work.
Unfortunately, I can't link to mine, because it isn't yet online but it'll get to it, eventually. |
