CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,
I have just finished a module to create randomised images on each page of a site.

could I convince any of you to take a look at it, cos I don't have any other servers to test it on than this one:

testing.webrocketdesign.com

The images on the left are created by this module.

Edit: dammit, file's too big.
Edit 2: Moved the file to a more permanent location

I have hosted it here Imagestrip module

Actually that's not a glitch, I have written some code to the back end to allow image resizing, and I was testing that out (making the thumbnails larger).

Sure, go ahead, follow the link and all the source code is bundled there.

The backend has an admin interface to control the strip templates and the fullscreen templates.

There are also a few other options, such as randomised pictures, link to fullsize version and total number of images to be displayed.

I have pm'ed you the details to go play with the admin interface on that site

No no, gpl away. There's a link in the top post to a zipped copy of the module.

it's at:

Cheers,

PS I have no idea what I am supposed to include documentation-wise to make this gpl so please tell me if there's anything that should be in it.

Oh, haha. sorry yeah. I'll release that tomorrow if you're interested.

Thanks for this , Tom! It's a great module indeed. Would you mind registering it as a project in the CMSMS forge at http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org ? Then it's easier for people to find it and download it, and you can update there with new versions.

One thing that I came to think of: I normally attach a number of stylesheets to a template, as I have divided the stylesheets into layout, typography, navigation etc. I know Calguy is working on a themes module, so probably this will be achieved more easily then. But would it be possible to select a number of combinations of stylesheets for the dropdown list options?

Let's say I have 15 stylesheets and 7 templates using 6-7 stylesheets each. Then instead of selecting all those 6-7 stylesheets the user could select from the ready-made templates. And possibly with another dropdown choosing among a number of different stylesheets only affecting color, font styles etc.

I have been suggesting an option to divide stylesheets into categories. Then there could be a dropdown for each stylesheet category, apart from the general theme dropdown.

If that makes sense....

I was contemplating adding module switching to this in an earlier version of this code, but I looked at the way I was using templates and decided this might not be appropriate. Best example I can think of is Storm Guard NE where the staff profiles page has a different template to the default type.

the logical step to complete this was to create an administration system to control which of the templates can be used, or set a customised list.

As for advancing the css style of things I did think that categories would be a good idea, and I think the categories would be pretty semantic, they do split down really into text style control, layout, colour and backgrounds, which are all kind of unique choices, so each user has onyl got to select one text size, one layout stylesheet, etc.

I'll register at the forge and state my intentions from there.

Hi,
I am trying to install them imagestrip module but get this error upon trying to install:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getinsertsql() in /modules/Imagestrip/Imagestrip.module.php on line 125

I've got no idea what that means. Any ideas?

Appreciate your help.
Jeff
