Cycleshow

[Harm10]

This is probably possible. If you look at the header of my own website: http://www.remark-webdesign.nl/weblog/remarkwebdesignen you see a rotating cycleshow displaying the extrafield image and the introduction of the pages in a specific chapter.

If you just get the page or the entry you have connected your gallery to and display the banners in for instance a list item list you can put a cycleshow around it.
Obviously you have to code that in smarty tags in your header template.

Thanks a million man, it worked

Made a (non-published) page with a bonusgallery containing my banner images, and fetched these with the following code in my header template :

Code: Select all

<a name="top"></a>
    <div id="wrapper">
        <div id="header">
        <a href="[[ home ]]">
        <div class="[[ cycleshow height="256px" width="1024px" slidefx="fade" timeout="15000" effect="0" ]]" >
            [[ getpage uri='banner']]
            [[bonusgallery assign='banner' content=$page.extrafields.banner_fv ]]
            [[foreach from=$banner item='image']]
                    <img src="[[$image->getImgSrc(1024,256)]]" alt="[[$image->alt|escape]]" title="[[$image->title|escape]]" />
            [[/foreach]]
            [[ resetpage ]]
        </div> </a>
        </div>

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Good to be able to help you out!

Hi

Was wondering if this is also possible as I have a difficult time to get underneath code working.

My result is that I get per line a result, in other words it cycles the h2 line than the image etc

I would like to cycle it as a block and each new cycle it retrieves a new record from the database

hope someone can give me some direction how to solve this

thanks

<div class="[[ cycleshow ]]">

[[ subweblog name="members" category="members" amount=1 order="random" ]][[ literal ]]
<h2 class="sidebar-title">Member: [[ title ]]</h2>

<h2 class="title">Member since [[subtitle]]</h2>

[[ if $entry.extrafields.image!="" ]]

<img src="[[pivotx_url]]includes/timthumb.php?src=[[$entry.extrafields.image]]&amp;w=125&amp;h=125" alt="[[$entry.extrafields.description]]" class="extraimage" />

[[ /if ]]

[[ introduction ]]

[[ /literal ]][[ /subweblog ]]

</div>

[Harm10]

This should be fairly simple if you pack the block in its own div like this:

Code: Select all

<div class="[[ cycleshow ]]">
[[ subweblog name="members" category="members" amount=10 order="random" ]][[ literal ]]
<div class="cycleentry">
<h2 class="sidebar-title">Member: [[ title ]]</h2>
<h2 class="title">Member since [[subtitle]]</h2>
[[ if $entry.extrafields.image!="" ]]
<img src="[[pivotx_url]]includes/timthumb.php?src=[[$entry.extrafields.image]]&amp;w=125&amp;h=125" alt="[[$entry.extrafields.description]]" class="extraimage" />
[[ /if ]]
[[ introduction ]]
</div>
[[ /literal ]][[ /subweblog ]]
</div>

Also notice the fact that you shouldn't code amount=1. This means you will only get one entry and cycleshow does not show anything when only 1 block is encountered. PivotX does not cycle entries in a subweblog. Cycleshow does that by, in this case, showing the first entry and then the second and so on.

Thanks Harm, that was fast and it is working!

Hi

Would it also be possible to show 16 entries
and refresh those with 16 new entries with new ones

thanks as always

[Harm10]

Do you mean 16 images at once? I guess that would be possible if you wrap those 16 into the same element?
As you can see on my site http://www.remark-webdesign.nl/page/cycleshow-en/remarkwebdesignen you can also revolve text parts like unordered lists.

It all depends on the element you aim for when coding the revolving.

hi harm!

no I mean like real entries

does that make sense?

like displaying 16 entries next to each other and than refresh with the next 16

hope this helps to make it a bit clearer

thanks!

[Harm10]

That is just what I mean. Wrap those 16 entries into one parent element and attach the cycling to that element.
