If you can find something that runs jquery that does this that doesn't mess with the back button, I will write it up for the marketplace.

I just can't find anything that is that decent.

Can't Lightbox be used for C5?

Cheers Remo, Scott and Synlag but Lightbox is is a tad too much... the client wants something as simple as the one on the homepage here:http://www.lesarcis.com/

I just don't know how to create this so the client can manage it with C5? do you guys know a way to get this in-line navigation working?.. I have used the Lightbox plugin else where on the site tho as it does a perfect job cheers

this is quite easy, use the gallery block and create a custom template

like I did here for example:http://www.marbach.cc/en/collection/collection_spartacus/...

Cheers for showing me however I know nothing of Jquiry other than the simple integration of the lightbox block that was posted on the block request forum it does sound very powerful and I will be investigating further on how I might utilise it.

let me know if you make a block of this or have a way to implement it simply as I am a designer with limited programming(CSS, XHTML, FLASH ACTIONSCRIPT)) knowledge.

cheers

I made something like this a little while ago:
1. First slide loads
2. Second slide fades in and first slide fades out.
3. "Texts/Links" change color to show which image you are on.
4. mouseover stops slideshow
5. mouseout resumes slideshow
6. mouseover an "Text/Link" will show the selected image (without fade, as fading will overload the script).

Build this on Jquery, which is integrated in concrete5 (I used the one in concrete5.2.1).
Modified the integrated slideshow script as the editor needed no adjustments.

The only thing is.. you can only load one every page, you can load multiple through your site, but just not more than one on one page. Will add this later on.

Let me know if you are interested and if I have time I will submit it somewhere to concrete.

All I need is the simple clicking from one image to another however with the ability to fade form one to another in slides how form this sounds perfic...

I know nothing of jquiry other than following the simple instructions to install the lightbox block that was posted on another forum here but it sounds quit powerful.

If you have this script hanging around I would be very grateful for the help and would be glad to reciprocate with any design services you might need?

cheers
Paul

I added it as attachment to this post.

It's a block so place it in the "yourconcretedirectory/blocks" directory.

I hope you know CSS because you will need that to edit the code (if you want it to look different).

Have fun! and let me know if you like it.

ps. no have fun with the script, I don't need anything in return. I only made the slideshow block different ;)

new image gallery might help.

craftyCS replied on Apr 8, 2009 at 6:00 am Permalink Reply

Is this 'new image gallery' included when you upgrade to 5.3? or is it a new block that I have to purchase/install?

craftyCS replied on Apr 8, 2009 at 6:08 am Permalink Reply

frz went to add images into the image gallery and since upgrading my file manager is completely empty? My client has lots of images etc that they have uploaded how do I retrieve/re-reference them?

Maynar replied on Apr 8, 2009 at 7:26 am Permalink Reply

The new image gallery is not included and it's available on the marketplace (for just 15 dollar?)http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/gallery...

Anyway... I rebuild the one I made for 5.3

Do you have any tips on converting old blocks that used the old file manager to using the new file manager?

I'm trying to learn more about programming blocks and I am trying to convert an old gallery to 5.3. I could definitely use some tips on where to start making changes.

Thanks!

Maynar replied on Apr 14, 2009 at 5:40 am Permalink Reply

There aren't any manuals/tutorials, but it goes a little like this:

<?php
$file_id = '1'; //The file id
$f = File::getByID($file_id);
$fp = new Permissions($f);//Get permissions
$fileName = $f->getRelativePath();//Get filename + path
//User allowed to read?
if ($fp->canRead())
{ 
//Yes, Do action, example:
echo "<img src='".$fileName."' alt=''/>";
}
?>

I was really interested in the sound of your image gallery, but had updated to 5.3 before i could try it out.

Couldn't tell if you were saying you had rebuilt it or were going to. Will you be releasing it?

Many thanks

I added the download to this post. It's 5.3 compatible (I took the build in slideshow and changed it).

To change the appearance take the view.php file and somewhere in the middle CSS is defined. Change that to make it look like you want.

(It now is build specially for my work)
(You can only run one on each page)

Good luck and got any issues? contact me.

@craftyCS is the Lightbox displayed on the link a block you made, if so is it for sale in the marketplace ?
