Hey Man;
I know the feeling but but usually BF comes to my rescue. I have built this one for my own website and use it but never released it. You are doing a great job.

Hey Chris, good morning,
thanks for your consideration about this extension.
Keep up.

Hi..

I am facing some problems on how i will add the images in Galley because the images are included inside Javascript array. Question: Do i need to use xsl..??? Any help appreciated.

[BaconFries]

Yer it be best to write a xsl for this I did help bendigo with this, but for the life of me I cant find the xsl file and it would take me a bit of time to rewrite and test hpefull he will see this and he might still have a copy of the xsl file you can use...

Ok update on this I have looked at the js and to call the images you would need a xsl that be similar to this

In the code do this
[
$images$
{image : "$lastimage$", title : "$title$, url : "$url$"} <<< this is the last image and doest need a ,
]

Then build a xsl using code below pointing it to $images$ this will insert all the other images,titles and urls if you notice each one ends with a , but the last image that is why I an suggeting you write as I have described

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match='/'>
<xsl:for-each select="GALLERY/IMAGE">
<xsl:text>[ { image:"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="FILENAME"/>
<xsl:text>",</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>title :"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="TITLE"/>
<xsl:text>","</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>url :</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="URL"/>
<xsl:text>" },]
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Yes BF Did write me a new XSL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="GALLERY/IMAGE">
<a href="{URL}"><img src="{FILENAME}" title="{TITLE}" /></a>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Looking at the new code I think it draws the image into the script in a different way now bendigo, if you still have all the original files can you email them at the usual address were I can compare yours to the new ones and check for differences...I have went through old emails but cant find anything....
