Slideshow and multiple directories

11 Oct 2006, 17:18

Can slideshow look into multiple directories while iterating through photos?

If so, how?

Thanks!

Im not 100% sure what you mean. Perhaps you are asking if the slideshow module has a gallery menu of its own? The slideshow does not have a menu, thats why its used complimentary in the gallery module, where there is a menu.

You can however use the slideshow to access pretty much any folder of images on your server. Ex:

<a href="https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slide ... mage=false" class="mlink">slideshow.php?path=content/Mother Earth/Landscape/</a><a href="https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slide ... mage=false" class="mlink">slideshow.php?path=content/Humanity/Classic Stars/</a><a href="https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slide ... mage=false" class="mlink">slideshow.php?path=lazy%20blue%20ladies/</a>

Hi Karl,

That was a good guess, but I meant somewhat different. So, let me give it one more try:

Assuming that all my images are in various folders in "content" directory. Is it possible to give the path as:
Code
"path=content/"
and the slideshow module iterates through any photo from any of the available directories (assuming that I have random photo selection on)?

Also, from your examples: Is it possible to have the slideshow module look into two directories simultaneously - something like this:
Code
"path=content/Mother%20Earth/Landscape/,content/Humanity/Classic"

oh :)

What you request is currently not possible, but its certainly a good suggestion for a future integration. It did strike me earlier under development I remember.

Thanks Karl,

I look forward to future releases. I'm really tired of my slideshow and I'm too lazy to keep on switching the directory - as I have hundreds of other photos in tens of directories.

Cheers!
