Image and Thumbnail Display Changes

Hello,

I am using viewlisting.tpl and here is what I am trying to do...

If a user uploads 5 images, thus creating 5 thumbnails, I only want the first thumbnail to show (1 thumbnail total) and I want all of the large images to display underneath my description rather than a popup. A link to "Enlarge this Image" will be under the 1 thumbnail and when clicked, it will bring you down to the section under the description where all of the large images are displayed.

I'm not a php programmer so any assistance with this request would be very much appreciated.

I have just done something similiar. Here is the code I used which you may need to modify:

Code:

<!-- // Image // -->
			{foreach from=$data item=image name=foo}
				{if $smarty.foreach.foo.first}
					<a href="javascript:void(viewer.show(0))">
						<img src="photos/{$image.image}" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="330" class="image" border="0" alt="{$image.title}" />
					</a>
				{/if}
			{foreachelse}
				 <img src="templates/{$smarty.const.MAIN_TEMPLATE}/images/nophoto.gif" width="100" hspace="5" vspace="5" border="1" />
			{/foreach}
			<br />
			<!-- // Thumbs // -->
			{counter start=-1 print=0}
			{if $viewphotos=="Y" && $data <> ''}
			<table width="100%">
			{section name=tr loop=$data step=3}
				<tr>
					{section name=td start=$smarty.section.tr.index loop=$smarty.section.tr.index+3}
					<td valign="top">
						{if $data[td]<>""}
							<a href="javascript:void(viewer.show({counter}))">
								<img src="thumbs/small_{$data[td].image}" hspace="2" vspace="2" class="image" border="0" width="100" height="100" />
							</a>
						<br />
						{/if}
					 
					</td>
					<td>
					{/section}
				</tr>
			{/section}
			</table>

{/if}

I also had to add this to the top of viewlisting.tpl for the slideshow:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"
	src="http://slideshow.triptracker.net/slide.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	{literal}
		var viewer = new PhotoViewer();
	{/literal}
		{if $viewphotos=="Y" && $data <> ''}
			{foreach from=$data item=image}
				viewer.add('photos/{$image.image}');
			{/foreach}
		{/if}
//--></script>

Hi,
When finished could i please have a link to the site it was done on. I would really like to see what it ends up like.
Cheers

Hi,
A demo of it can be found at www.truckandmachinery.com.au

Cheers

Very Nice, I added to my site. Many thanks.

That looks great, but I need something very simple...

Let's say a user uploads 8 images - I just need the 1st thumbnail image to appear on top next to the listing views, expiration, title, etc., and when clicked on, it would take you below the description where the 8 larger images are displayed (so I need the large images to display on the viewlisting.tpl file just under my description rather than in a new popup window...)

I can try to work with the data you provided, but I doubt I will get very far. Can anyone offer any sort of assistance as to how I can achieve my client's request?

A good starting point would be just to get the large images to display on the same page in a defined area (under the description)...

Your help is very much appreciated.

Posts like this are excellent. Posts like this should be added to the instructions.

The last post should be started as a new thread and hoppefully a solution found

Still have not found a solution...

Does anyone have any initial steps I can take or thoughts/ideas of how to achieve the format described below...? I need this as soon as possible and any help is much appreciated. I really need the large images to display on the same page in a defined location.

Thanks in advance...

Lhotch,

I do not intend to use this board to prove myself as a designer, I can show you my work when I'm finished, or you can check out www.mydivorcesales.com to see a previous project I did.

Clearly I am using v4 as this is a v4 thread, and I understand that the updates have had no effect on the viewlisting.tpl files so I did not find it necessary to point that out. Also, I in fact DID state which file I am using, viewlisting.tpl, if you read my post above.

In addition, this work is in fact for a "client" (not sure why you quoted that word, maybe you find it hard to believe?), and I do have an extensive knowledge of HTML even though I studied completely different topics throughout my education.

I do not appreciate the 1st half of your post; it did not benefit me nor anyone else on this board and it adds absolutely no value to this conversation or site as a whole. As for the second half of your response, I appreciate your logic; I tried approaching it the same way yet I am still unsuccessful. I have very limited php skills and if you can help out in any way I would appreciate it. Otherwise please don't challenge me on my knowledge or whether I have "clients" or not or anything else for that matter.

If anyone on this board needs help I am always willing if I am capable...
Thanks

Maybe A68 has took a little too much offence there. Its not a personal attack but we do have a lot of posts on this board that dont fully explain themselves. We dont know the users level and from my own experiences the majority dont know that much. If you know HTML, great, with this system you should be able to pick up mySQL and PHP as well.

Excellent point Maffo,
My response was not meant to display an offensive acceptance of words... Just trying to make a point that I am not here to accept/refute judgemental remarks. I present myself professionally and I expect the same in return, especially from someone who represents a remarkable software package that I am ultimately trying to glorify to my fullest ability...

Lhotch,
I apologize if I did not provide enough information. I am using the default template, I believe the software version is 4.0.3? I am away from my laptop at the moment so I am unable to post the code I've been working on... I will reply this evening with an attachment.

Thank you for your suggestions, I do appreciate them...

Other members seem to have different viewpoints (above); maybe you are just having a bad day...

I am not impatient by any means, my time is definately not worth more than your time or anyone else's here, and I am not here to get "bailed" out. This is a support forum; I am looking for support! Simple as that.

I honestly thought I provided enough info and based on what I provided, I received a somewhat helpful response (thank you Suzkaw). Besides, what constitutes "enough" info? Obviously to some people, that WAS enough info... If you needed additional information for yourself (thinking that you may be interested in helping me out), you could have asked, "what version and template are you using? - a very simple 7 word question. Perhaps this would have steered this series of posts in a different direction; however, you chose otherwise.

Since I am a new member of this forum, I was unsure as to what is required of me when I make a post. My previous post was answered without the version and template in the discussion... must have been some strange phenomenon I guess.

At any rate, if you'd like to help or if you can further steer me in the right direction so that I can get the results I'm looking for, please feel free to respond. Otherwise, go to a different post. The topic of discussion from here on should be in regards to the initial question. Please do not respond with anymore negative/judgemental comments that add ZERO value to this forum/thread.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply seymourjames.. I'll see if I can integrate some of the viewlisting2.tpl details into the viewlisting.tpl file...

In the mean time, does anyone know if the large images can be brought onto the page with a php include?

Something like:
<?php include("{$smarty.const.URL}/viewimage.php?photo={$image.id}"); ?>
