Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone can through light on this gallery used here: http://www.marchandmeffre.com/theaters/index.html
Method and can it be done with FW.
I’m looking around for a gallery option and this I like a lot as its simple, has an image caption, can have html text panels and its visually very simple. It also loops.

Hi Seoras,
if I see it in the correct way this example is based on JQuery Cycle Plugin
I remember Dan made a screencast - so primary yes it can be done within freeway.
Now basically, things like this would be very easy to do with carousel action if there would be some more “pane-behaviors” added.
Creative thought - instead of “slide in” something like “fade in” cause the use of carousel action is that cool and easy cause you can bring in all contents you can dream of.
So this would be another “Walters Request”:
Is it possible from the architecture of Carousel action to have additional pane-easing or is this just a stupid thought?
Cheers

and forgot you to give an example of carousel as a “more or less gallery”

Hi Thomas,
Many thanks. Thats really interesting, I’ve looked at lots of different gallery methods but yet to find one I really like, there is always something that lets them down. This comes close though not sure how to integrate into FW. I’ll check out Dan’s screencast.
I’ve used carousel several times and its really good but I don’t like the flick back that much and not sure I would use for a full on presentation, though I have seen it used by photographers in that way. Perhaps if it was a slower transition back to the start. I would also like to be clearer how to include text. The jquery did that nicely.
many thanks again,
s

Hi s,
You should be able to do a slideshow like the one in your original post using a combination of the Sequence Click (link below) and the Target Show/Hide Layer Actions.

Hope this helps,

Hi Joe,
Thanks, that looks promising and one method I haven’t come across. Or might have then forgotten about.
Would it be easy to implement text ? in the form of a caption. This is one area that seems to be let down by the simpler galleries on offer.

Hi S,
no need to think that complicated.
Your layer is nothing more than, for example, a HTML-Item applied the image as background via inspector. Your text would be another HTML Element, either as inline content of previous item or later grouped to one new where you would apply the target layer action or in short:
Work as you ever did in Freeway.

Always my trouble - thinking everything is more complex than it actually is;-(
I hadn’t thought about grouping two (or more presumably) items together that would act in unison and work with the same action. Gee !
Well I can see that working. (image of lightbulb on:)
blimey - excellent,
thanks,

Not as it’s currently written, but a different Action could be made to
use that basic framework to do a fading show. But have you tried the
Fading Slideshow demo on the Softpress site? There’s a walk-though
with examples of how to build it using the built-in Actions. I don’t
have the link, but you should be able to find it with Google or the
Softpress site search.

Carousel just takes whatever you draw on your page and animates it.
Adding text is as simple as drawing an HTML box for your pane,
clicking once on it and drawing your photo box over it, then clicking
back on the outer HTML box and drawing another HTML box over it for
the caption. You’ll know you’ve got it right when the outer HTML box
lights up with the selection highlight as you draw the inner box and
your cursor changes into this [+].
You would then apply the Carousel or Carousel Pane Action to the outer
HTML box instead of the photo. Each photo and caption unit would
animate as one element.

Hi Walter,
Yes I’ve used it on a few websites. I’m looking for something very simple, not unlike your carousel but without the flick back. With option for caption and possibly thumbs if there’s going to be quite a few images, say more than ten as people will only click through so many images. Thumbs alow people to pick and choose what they look at. Back and next buttons of course.
thanks for your help,
seoras

Finally got round to trying this out and it works a treat within freeway. Even changed from Dan’s slide example to using fade. I still have to implement the use of text but first things first.
I’ve one issue that I would like to resolve before progressing. I have both vertical and horizontal images. The div is square to accommodate both but they resolve aligned to the left, which means looking awkward; how can I have them / make them centre aligned ?

The easiest way to do this is to make the images themselves square,
and “pad” them with a color to match your page background.

Thanks Waltd,
I was trying to avoid that option. But; given that the idea is to simplfy and reduce down the number of images (10 max), so having just a few choice examples, it might not be such a problem.
best,
