Programming (Image Slideshow)

warrenaldo

Folks,

I have a selection of images on my web pages that are displayed in html pages.

On the main page i have a selection of thumbnails - then when i click a thumbnail it brings me to the full size image.

However i would like to provide a type of slide show to the users as an alternative way of viewing images.

My pages are designed in python. But i am open to alternatives - is it just a case of doing some javascript? or are there python libraries? - can anybody point me in the direction

kjt

This is a great app!

Lightbox 2

I've used Lightbox 2 myself, its easy to set up and use. I'd recommend it too.

I really like this one, but a lot of people don't like Flash.

There is lytebox, which is based on this original. Notable differences are ability to auto play your slideshow, load up html content, support for iframes (if you're using them), and it runs standalone to third party js libraries (I use it now as I had conflicts with different versions of different libraries causing all kinds of weirdness - this sorted it out). From the sounds of it, Lightbox 2 should do the trick but here's the link anyway: http://www.dolem.com/lytebox/

+1 here too.
You can make it a sort of slide show by adding a bit to the 'rel' parameter - it will group things together.
I use it with an 'accordion' effect. PM for url (it's photos of my kid).
