Dynamic Slide Show

Number before name of image

April 26, 2003 by CK Nyak

I am trying to pull dynamic images using the method above except my recordset has a "where" clause. I cannot view the images because it automatically inserts a number before the image name. e.g. babyphoto.jpg becomes 4babyphoto.jpg. I am just using the WYSIWYG tools.

Do you have any solution to this?

well even if you have a WHERE clause, just make sure that only the image filename is selected. Like: SELECT FileName WHERE UserId = ...

What is rsUploads referring to?

The querystring you mention is rsUploads. Should it be the same as the recordset you create for the images?

I noticed the same difficulty - yes that is the recordset. It should match the recordset you created to pull the images into the page.

My first image is broken

July 5, 2004 by Cheryl Ferguson

The combination of this behaviour and tutorial truly is incredible. I have just one difficulty... the first image is always broken.

Here is an example page:http://www.countrywidebarrie.com/brenda/property_detail.asp?p_ID=1

Click on the view slide show link below the main image and you will see a broken image where the first image should be.

Has anyone else had this difficulty?

Do you ever struggle over something for weeks then as soon as you ask for help you figure it out?

I was missing the leading slash to my folder of images.. What I don't know is why the other images DID work!

I had written ..images/<%=RecordsetSlideshow.getString(,,,"|../images/")%>

instead of ../images/<%=RecordsetSlideshow.getString(,,,"|../images/")%>

slidesjow from database php

November 4, 2004 by vinny piana

I have read the info regarding a dynamic slide show pulling pictures from database data:

http://www.dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=3997

But it all refers to asp recordsets & pages.

Would the magic line: <%=rsUploads.getString(,,,"|photos/")%>
work just the same when applying the behavior on a php page?
