Title: Looking for a module, a snippet, a droplet to display changing logos,....
Post by: midiweb on February 19, 2009, 01:12:28 PM

hi, I've been looking for a script, a snippet, or droplet  to display different changing logos of firms but at the same place, as small flash animations. I mean, for instance, a logo stays 2 seconds, another one after 4 seconds, and so on,... Cheers

There's also a Droplet (http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/admin/admin-tools/droplets.php (http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/admin/admin-tools/droplets.php)) in AMASP

hi, I tried the dropplet Randomimage but it displays one picture in one time. I would like to display all pictures from the folder in turn, alternately, as one loop.Do you know how to do that?

Maybe not quite what you want out of the box, but with some work you might be able to use http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/modules/image-galleries/slideshow.php

Otherwise you have to use a simple third party image rotator script. There are many javascript ones, and also very neat ajax and jquery scripts with nice effects and options. And Flash ones of course.

What have I to change in the dropplet Randomimage to display in a loop without to reload tha page:

Code: [Select]

$folder=opendir(WB_PATH.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/'.$dir.'/.');
$names = array();
while ($file = readdir($folder))  {
    $ext=strtolower(substr($file,-4));
    if ($ext==".jpg"||$ext==".gif"||$ext==".png"){
        $names[count($names)] = $file;
    }
}
closedir($folder);
shuffle($names);
$image=$names[0];
$name=substr($image,0,-4);
return '<img src="'.WB_URL.MEDIA_DIRECTORY.'/'.$dir.'/'.$image.'" alt="'.$name.'" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'"/>';



I tried in the index.php with the PHP function

Code: [Select]

for($i=0;$i < 100;$i++)
     {
                  [[RandomImage?dir=logos]]
';
     }

But it displays 100 times the same logo and not the next logo.

Who can help me?

You cannot use that, because you need some script function. A droplet has no script. That's why Hans and I suggested two different modules to look at.
