CF Gallery Creator & jQuery Slider Gallery !New and Improved!

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 20:57:00 -0600

Still a work in progress, I have fixed a few small things and added better setup notes for the CF Gallery Creator and jQuery Slider Gallery (click for explanation in previous post)

The new code is available as a zip file, attached ** see below **

This package contains

1) a custom ColdFusion image gallery generator, which will create thumbnails and large images of any size you specify from a folder containing your original images, and outputs them to the page in a nice unordered list html markup.

Includes options for multiple subfolders, each one a separate 'gallery' with thumbnail or dropdown navigation.

2) a simply but effective 'slider gallery' built on css and jQuery. Example here:

http://www.gowestweb.com/cfdev/_tags/gallery/slidergallery.cfm?gallery=some-gallery-name

( Without the jQuery and css, the raw markup from the CF tag alone looks like this
http://www.gowestweb.com/cfdev/_tags/gallery/gallerypage.cfm?gallery=some-gallery-name

As usual this was built to meet a specific need for a client project and has been tweaked and adjusted along the way.

Please DO try it out, and let me know if/when you use it.
Comments, enhancements and suggestions welcome!

ColdFusion jQuery Cycle Slideshow Custom Tag

I was putting together yet another slick little jQuery Cycle slideshow tonight, and decided to make it dynamic. I wanted a solution that would take a folder full of images, size them to a given max width and height, and set up the cycle slideshow, all on the fly, while keeping it easy to slide another image or two in any time, or tweak the cycle slideshow settings.
