explanation on how the gallery is called.

05 Jan 2007, 22:25

Hello

I have a question on how the slideshow calls the images

i understand it calls first a config ini with the general gallery settings and i would like to know if it calls after a pre-generated file including the image file names and descriptions or does it generate it every time ?

my real goal is to user the player to call images through a dynamically generated file based on page viewed. for example if i have a claissifed ad page, i want to get the images only for an item and not have a gallery of all images in the folders.

I would like to know if there is a possibility to call a predefined file like calling an xml file with the image paths and info to be read by the player
through vars in the url where i would generate a file name with different images names based on the page when calling the player

do you think there is a solution or does your gallery application reads and generates everytime the file based on folders and images. ?

Most list outputs are generated realtime because there are many parameters involved, including sorting, paths and excluding. We were eventually going to release a version which could read standalone XML files, but for now a new version is round the corner before we will be able to look into that.
