Description Author

This class can be used to present a slide show of local or remote Web images.

It can extract lists of image files available on the local server or a remote Web server.

The image list is served to the browser which retrieves it with Javascript code that performs AJAX requests to obtain the images to display.

For local server images the class returns a list of image file names. For remote Web server, it retrieves a given remote page and parses it to return the list of GIF, JPEG and PNG images linked from that page.

The Javascript libraries provided within this package control the slide show presentation.

Slide show applications are common in many Web sites. Usually they present images stored in the same Web server of the slide show page.

This class provides a different kind of solution that allows presenting a slide show of images available in different Web servers. It can automatically scrape a given page to retrieve the list of images to be displayed in a slide show.

Slideshow Class

BLP 2022-11-30 - Updated.

Removed prototype logic. Works with php 8.1. Added more demos. Removed carousel.html as it ses prototype.js which is no longer supported.

The SlideShow PHP class gets a list of images from the local filesystem or from a remote web site.

A JavaScript class displays the images collected by the PHP class.

History

This was originally written in 2008. This version is a rewrite of that code. I have upgraded the code to use more recent inovations.

Disclaimer

I have not tried any of this with IE on any version of Windows. I don't use MS-Windows, I don't like MS-Window, and I don't have MS-Windows. I have always hated that OS for what I think are very good reasons.

I use Ubuntu Mate. I have not tested this package on any OS that has not evolved from Debian.

Install

There are three ways to install the package:

  1. Download the zip file from http://github.com/bartonlp/slideshow. Extract the files.
  2. Use 'composer' (https://getcomposer.org/download/):
  3. Go to https://github.com/bartonlp/slideshow and then click on the green Code button. Select the the Clone address provided. Then create a directory on a server (or your local computer if you are running Apache) and type git clone {the selection from above}. You now have a directory slideshow under your webpage name.

If you don't have composer do:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Or if you don't have curl:

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

After composer is downloaded move the 'composer.phar' to '/usr/local/bin/composer' and make sure it is executable.

To install the SlideShow make a project directory as follows:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
composer require bartonlp/slideshow:dev-master

The package is under the 'vendor/bartonlp/slideshow' directory. You can run the examples from there or copy them to your project root.

Extra Stuff

The are several additional directories for the project:

  • __images__: this has the image files for the demos.
  • __kb__: this has a slideshow that I got from http://www.dynamicdrive.com. It is interesting.
  • __burnsimages__: this has some images for the kenburns.html in the kb directory.

Examples

There are several example files:

  • photos-jquery.html
  • photos-jquery.php
  • photos.php
  • photos1.php
  • photos2.php
  • photos3.php

Configure the Examples

You may need to configure the demo files for your filesystem. At the beginning of the files there are several statements. The files are pretty well documented.
