I'm not sure if lightbox is that customisable? But it may help?

[ubuntu-uk] Help required! (off topic)

2011-05-23 Thread Sean Miller
This is not strictly a Ubuntu question, but I know there are quite a few web
people here so I wondered if anybody had any suggestions.

Have a customer who wants a gallery page similar to this one...

http://visualartistsuk.com/marcel-christ

I cannot find any evidence that this is a script that is available on the
web...

Does anybody know anything similar?

Hi Sean

I'm no web developer, so others will be able to help more.

But it looks like it is based on Jquery, which is an easier to use
javascript api.

script type=text/javascript
src=http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js
view-source:http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js/script



I'd google Jquery galleries, and follow the instructions from there mate.

All the best

Les

What worries me more is this one...

http://visualartistsuk.com/js/maine.js

It looks bespoke, and therefore (presumably) not something  can use or -
indeed - find out who to ask if I can as there is nothing in the code saying
who wrote it.

The JQuery plug-in is a relatively small piece of script, which clearly
serves as the link between JQuery and the code but it isn't the code and I
am sure there is something that does similar to the end result.

Alas, I am not being paid very much for this at all... favour for a friend,
really so I can't afford to write something completely bespoke.

There are a few nice JQuery based galleries that are pretty much plug and
play but there'd still be some back end functionality. It's not an out of
the box solution though.

Don't expect out of the box.

I've written the CMS, this is an upgrade to it... I just don't have the time
to learn JQuery or, indeed, this project isn't paying enough for it.

Need something I can integrate in the same way as I'd (for example)
integrate fckeditor etc.

My system will upload the images, it can create thumbnails (using GD
libraries) and it is the next bit that I need... the end-user presentation.
I can create the files, it's the pretty scrolling bar bit that the
customer wants that I just don't have the ability to produce bespoke.

Gallery[1] is a popular app which might be worth a look. The styling will be
the intensive bit though.

Could you not use WordPress and one of (many) gallery plugins?

2011-05-23 Thread Sean Miller
No, you're not understanding... I already have my gallery script... but they
want a SPECIFIC presentation...

As close to this one, which they like, as possible...

http://visualartistsuk.com/marcel-christ

Single image on screen, then when you mouse over it a long scrolling bar of
all the images appears left to right... and when you click on any of them,
the main image on screen refreshes.

So I do not need a back end as it is already there... it's the presentation
layer.

Quite a few nice designs there :)

Thanks Simon. I'll use a few as ideas. I'm a designer by trade so I'll be
working on the graphics for the project.
