Image Folder Lister

Pedro Amorim

Yo guys.

So yeah. Made this tonight.

Its basicaly a php file that lists JPG GIF and PNG files that you might have on a folder.
Just throw the php file in there and he will do the rest.

If someone wants the file here he is.:D

Hope its cool

NIce... things like this exist that also create a thumbnail, but I like the way you organized it by file type. One thing that all the automated image scripts always miss out on is multiple pages if there are a lot of files.

Again, nice work... I feel like I'm bashing it, but honestly I like it

Pedro Amorim

I was trying to get the thumbnail generation to work, but it wasnt going how i wanted it. So i just went for the text instead. i know its not the best way to do things, but at least its better than the default folder listing with that courier new font, if you know what i mean.

Eric Chadwick

This would be extra-awesome with thumbnails, if possible.

Joao Sapiro

agreed !

MoP

Very cool that you're sharing this. I'm sure a lot of people can make use of it.

My brother helped me code a similar thing for my girlfriend's site ( www.ldaustinart.com ), it basically checks the link for an image/text file title and loads any images with that name, and appends the text at the bottom. Really nice for quick and simple adding of images - just add the thumbnail, and it will automatically turn it into a link to the full image and text.
I need to use it on my site actually, I've got a less-functional version of a similar setup on my current portfolio.

Nice stuff!

Not sure what that last part means but this is very useful and much needed for everyones WIP folder. I'll be putting this into action shortly, thanks a BUNCH! You rawk!

Here's what mine looks like (with thumbnails) http://www.tacmod.com/screenshots/index.php

But as you can see, it becomes crap once you get too many images. There's also nothing to the presentation other than a bunch of clickable thumbnails.

Edit: I can share the code if you want it later

Pedro Amorim

cool..
if you dont mind.:D

Im right know searching for a cool thumbnail class to implement on my solution .D

Asthane

I would post the one I wrote for my latest in-progress website, but it's pretty layout-specific. Nice work on the more distributable type, bitmap. For thumbnails, if you can't autocalculate them it would still be nice to autolink them similar to what MoP mentioned (The script would ignore anything with, say _TN_ in its filename and automatically add that to the end of filenames to get the thumbnail... pretty simple)

[edit] I really don't get the sort-by-type thing though. Unless the gif's are animated, I really don't see why the end user should care what the format is, but that's me. To each his own ^^[/edit]

PHP always gives me a headache. I wish more servers had eRuby installed.

Speaking of gallery scripts, I've always wondered what this script is? I've seen it in a bunch of places and never see it attributed to so much as a name, let alone a website. I actually don't like it that much since it's unresponsive to clicks between image transitions, and can be pretty slow anyway-- mostly I'm just curious (and wonder how it's done)

Michael Knubben

The more of these (simple) things there are, the better!
I installed gallery2 just now, but holy shit it'll take me a while to get it to what i want (ie. SIMPLE)

Eric Chadwick

Asthane, page source reveals this...
http://conceptart.org/js/lightbox.js

Pedro Amorim

Asthane: That is called Lightbox.
Its made by Lokesh from http://www.huddletogether.com/
Its a javascript based gallery. its not really a gallery. its just a fancy way of opening the pics instead of opening them in new windows

notman

Yeah, I did something like for a final project at school... except I did mine the old school way (without plugins)
http://www.tacmod.com/final/

Here's the script file... just so you're aware, I didn't create it. http://www.tacmod.com/index.zip (zip so it was downloadable).

flaagan

This stuff will definitely come in handy, I'll be setting up a site for some relatives sooner or later, so this'll save me some time for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Pedro Amorim

So yeah..
i updated the code..

http://www.pedroamorim.com/stuff/files/ImageLister.zip

http://www.pedroamorim.com/stuff/images

its easier to read and smaller.:D
If you want to list other imagetype just add the line
listImages(type)
example
listImages(png)

Also. it strips down the extension.. since every filename belongs to the same category no need to have the extension on the filename.
And also. the underscore on the filnanme is replaced by whitespace.

Pedro Amorim

oh snap. its an update.
http://www.pedroamorim.com/stuff/images/
what do you guys think?

FatAssasin

What's that little calender app in the January_Desktop _02 image?

EarthQuake

MoP

there's 2 files.

index.php and thumbgen.php

first you need to change the folder properties on the folder that you have the images you want to list.
i made mine 757.
then copy the 2 php files to the folder.
open firefox and run thumbgen.php - this file will create the thumbnails with the prefix tn_ on them. everytime you put a new pic on the folder you have to run this file so it can create the thumbs. (probably theres better ways. but i only made it this way.:S)

then go to the folder and voila.

notman

Looks good. I may replace what I was using with this
As for the thumbgen, did you check out the file I posted? It will autogen the thumbs for you if there are new images.

EarthQuake

running the thumbgen file i get these errors, are there anymore files i need to have?

Sorry - do you 'run the PHP' by navigating to its file?

eg: www.adambromell.com/models/thumbgen.php <--point my browser here to 'run' it?

Also - changing the permissions on the folder doesn't allow for the PHP to be accessed from Firefox for some reason. But with permissions turned OFF it runs the PHP, but no new files are created.

Pedro Amorim

notman: i guess the index.php that you have on your site is was cooler and easy.
Im gonna try and change that file you had here for download to have the looks i have on mine right now:D

just hold a little more:D

Pedro Amorim

hey notman, i changed that file you put in here.

http://www.pedroamorim.com/stuff/files/index.rar

here it is.

edit:
this file above is the one im using right now. cause you dont have to change permissions and also its only one file.:D
hope you enjoy
