Re: Slideshows in iRev
Sivakatirswami, Thank you very much! Well done, informative and will definitely help me. One thing I noticed was Richard Matthewson mentioned he liked the music as well as the picts plus your code displays how to use music with the slideshow. But I have never heard any music even on your latest which I clicked the automatic slide show with music which you listed near the bottom of the page. For some reason I do not hear any music at all. thanks again, -=JB=- On Dec 29, 2009, at 6:53 PM, Sivakatirswami wrote: -= JB =- wrote: I could not download the code either.

Browsers honor both. meta HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' CONTENT='10; URL=slideShowParams.irev? pImageNum=nextImgNumber' This example is using the same page URL 10 seconds from now to reload the page and pass a parameter that will choose the next slide in sequence. If pImageNum is missing, empty, or not a number, we use 1. This is yet another way to get a slide show sequence in order.

I just use the refresh directive in a header to reload the page every ten seconds: meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT=10 Pretty easy.

For me, right clicking downloads the result of running the irev code, but not the ?rev ? code itself. If you saved a version as .txt it would probably work. Looking forward to seeing your solution.

I too have wrestled with the idea of keeping the slide show in order instead of just randomising, but it all seems too much like hard work :-) Maybe next year I solved that one, a bit convoluted. But here is how it works using next and previous buttons. And in a day or so I will have it auto run in order. Basic concept is that you update a number post variable with each refresh. In this case I'm using the model used by a Flash slide framework call SlideShowPro director (Cool Iris does the same thing) which is you have a single SWF file and you use that as a kind of template for pushing all slide shows thru. In my case I set up an iRev template. Called slideshow.irev and target and iFrame. You can pass the URL of any folder with images in it. And it will run. e.g. this targets any folder with only images in it and a single title.txt file. if there were adjacent text files for each one they would be used as captions/descriptions (watch for wraps) e.g. both use the same irev file: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/slideshows/templates/slideshow.irev?path=/slideshows/srilanka/2009/nallur-july/ http://www.himalayanacademy.com/slideshows/templates/slideshow.irev?path=/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/ if I update the template, both slide shows will change accordingly. Then if you embed the iFrame into a page, then you can add other things to that page, in this case, music http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/ body style=background-color: #00; object data= [SNIP of an embed I found after 4 hours research that will push an mp3 to both Mac and Windows (Vista and IE on Window 7 tested] /object iframe name=slides-stage style=border:0px;width:1050px;height:760px;background-color: #00; src=/slideshows/templates/slideshow.irev?path=/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds//iframe /body The slideshow.irev is too long to post here. if anyone is interested I will create a web page were you can see the code. Eventual goal will be have individual sound files attached to each slide or I may bail on this if the plug-in gets there before I do with iRev. It will be sooo much easier. Then just leave this frame work for simple photo shows.

Re: Slideshows in iRev
Aloha, Brian (we're in Hawaii)
No I don't mind messing a bit with JS. Setting aside value judgements
about obtuse nature of the language, it's is clearly a valuable
technology -- I'm not really trying to minimize my exposure its more
about time, learning curve where my creative coding is very much a
sideline in an otherwise very busy day full of admin and publication
work. advocacyI could go on at length here about how revTalk slides
easily into that mind stream because of its' English like nature and
squeezing JavaScript or PHP into that mind flow never quite works or
sticks...(I tried with PHP and just got fed up... such a waste of time
to get the smallest things done) but that would be a digressing into the
nature of consciousness as it relates to linguistics and that core value
of revTalk that is a bit deeper than one might think. i.e. it's not just
english like but is also dances well with the way you think most of
your day. /advocacy
So, thank you! and Sarah too for the JS snippets and if I knew where to
go to find more elegant JS functions related to this I would check it out.
Cheers from Kauai

This would go to the next slide in 5 seconds after the current page is
loaded. You could of course right more elegant JavaScript functions
around this, but if you want to minimize your JavaScript exposure,
this one-liner should work. It just creates a 5 second timer, and then
changes the URL of the current page.

Here's a slide show that uses an iRev template in an iFrame.
http://www.himalayanacademy.com/resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/
this code is generated by iRev functions to set up links behind the
previous and next buttons, where the buttons post the next slide and
previous slide numbers and path to the irev page which then returns
the slide with a new set of update buttons. I'm not really worried
about the round trip to the server because the html here is so small,
the CSS (not shown) is cached and you have to fetch the photos
anyway, a little more html text is hardly an issue.
Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to make this thing drive itself,
so the user does not have to click the next button, using iRev code.
I suspect I can't really do that with iRev but will need some
Javascript (which I don't know at all.)

Re: Slideshows in iRev
Years ago I had a Hypercard app that took the file-list of a bunch of photos in a folder and stitched them together in a gallery. I had one index.html, a thumbs.html, and two sets of html detail documents (two for each photo), one used the 'refresh' tag and the other didn't - thereby the user could choose which set to use to 'autoplay' or not. I had a flashing red dot gif to indicate 'running' when using the auto mode. I batch-generated the reductions and thumbnails with GraphicConverter. I could build a photo gallery for the web in about a minute. Back in 2001 javascript was to be avoided at all costs - it caused crashing and incompatibilities everywhere. A lot of text files, but it got the job done. This was used for years on the Crosby, Stills and Nash sites. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev 2009/12/20 Sivakatirswami ka...@hindu.org Stephen barncard wrote: Oh! that one... yes I remember when (circa 1998) I went through our old web sites and removed all these redirects (very bad strategy from a CMS point of view, a nightmare in fact) and I put all the redirects into a single matrix file with a Rev cgi to drive 404's to other pages.

Re: Slideshows in iRev
Sarah (and Sivakatirswami) wrote: I would be very interested to see your code for this slideshow please. Ok, but it's almost too easy to post. There's a folder called cgiphotos of flower images in the same directory as the irev page. Inside that folder is also a text file named cgiphotos.txt, which contains a list of all the available photos. Each line of the list has a file name as item one and a description as item two, like this: daisies.jpg,Daisies columbine2.jpg,Columbine etc In the html where I want the slideshow image to display, I choose a random image and stuff that into the img src tag: ?rev put any line of url (file:cgiphotos/cgiphotos.txt) into tFlower ? img src=cgiphotos/?rev put item 1 of tFlower ? width=320 height=240 border=1 / And later at the bottom of the page where I want the description to appear: ?rev put item 2 of tFlower ? I just use the refresh directive in a header to reload the page every ten seconds: meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT=10 Pretty easy. If you wanted the slide show to be in a strict order, it would be harder. I think you'd need to either set up cookies, or write the current line to disk and read that for each reload, then update the counter in the text file with the next line number. Or if you didn't want to keep a text file, you could read the files in the directory and get the list that way too. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Slideshows in iRev
If you don't mind messing with a little Javascript, it could be as
simple as this:
body onLoad=setTimeout('window.location.href = \'http://http://
www.himalayanacademy.com/slideshows/templates/slideshow.irev?path=/
resources/lexicon/images/backgrounds/current_slide=13\' '), 5000)
This would go to the next slide in 5 seconds after the current page is
loaded. You could of course right more elegant JavaScript functions
around this, but if you want to minimize your JavaScript exposure,
this one-liner should work. It just creates a 5 second timer, and then
changes the URL of the current page.
