Topic awaiting preservation: Finding JS Slideshow for my Adult Site (Page 1 of 1)

This is a question about my adult website so I apologies in advance if you find adult material offensive please pass this thread by. I am a stay at home Mom and not a computer programmer. I have an adult amateur website through a larger company call Southern Charms. I have very little control over the programming of my site, SC provides the template and I provide the content. In other words I can?t make major changes to the design. I have been reading about these JavaScript slideshows but I can?t make heads or tails out of them and understand the technical lingo enough to know if they will do what I need them to do or not. I was wondering if ya?ll might be aware of a free slide show program I could use on my site that would work with in a front page template that could be configured so a user could type in a photo set number and have it pull up all the pictures in that set into a slide show. I really don?t want to have to go in every time I put up a new photo set and have to type in each individual picture number because that would take me forever.

As I have done extensive (scientific, mind you ) study on pornography online, I can tell you this - thumbnail galleries are where it's at and you really don't need anything else.

It sounds like your access is too limited to do what you want. You could put a JavaScript script on your page, but it would have to be updated when new pictures were added, because it needs to know what images are available (normally the server would put this information in the web page in a way that the script could use, but it sounds like you can't do that). Plus the fact that you're using front page makes it seem hopeless to begin with.

On top of that, reisio is right. I think this is a case where less is more.


 

Bummer! I was hoping to find a way for hand free viewing But thanks for the imput I really appreciate it! XOXO

Well.... if you had set 1, set 2, set 3, and set 4 and each set had the same number of images ( 10.jpg-120.jpg, 20.jpg-220.jpg, 30.jpg-320.jpg, 40.jpg-420.jpg) it would actually be do-able.

You could keep adding sets too, just as long as the pictures followed the same naming convention. I haven't seen any pre-written free scripts that do this, but rolling your own is what most of us around here do anyway.

There are plenty of free scripts online if you have your heart set on it.

Would you mind providing a link to your site? ^.^

I?ve been reading about the Javascript slideshows and googling my ass off which is how I found ya?ll. But like Norm was saying about all the photo sets being the same number of pictures that?s kinda a problem because if I get carried away with a set with one of my girlfriends?as you can imagine some of the sets are bigger than others. I am a very slow typist and my long red finger nails make it more difficult for me to type which is why I was hoping to find a JS program so I didn?t have to type in all those numbers. All the photo sets are numbered similarly but some are 60 pics and some are almost 300 pics. There are 600 charms/women on the main SC site all with their own websites under the main SC site. I don?t have access to any of the 5 servers so I can?t put anything on them which is why I was hoping to find a way to put a javascript slide show on my main photos page. I don?t know if the tech guy would go for me putting up a JS slideshow on every photo set page every time I update because if he does it for me he might have to do it for the other 599 charms. I didn?t list my page or banner before because I didn?t want to piss off your forum moderators but since you asked, both of these links have warning pages, my site **Link Removed by Skaarjj** and the main site for all of us charms ** Link Removed by Skaarjj** No laughing at my graphics please I?m just learning photoshop and please keep in mind this is not Playboy this is a true amateur site.

I seem to recall seeing a slideshow script that just worked from directory contents - you just specify the directory and it will cycle through all the files inside it. Will see if I can track it down.

Gallery is a pretty popular thumbnail/photoalbum system. Shouldn't be too hard to setup or find help on. Its open source too.

Whilst we respect that that is the kind of site you are running, please don't link to it here. There are minors on this board. I believe (I hope, since i would hope he has better sense than that) that Black Hat was being faceteous when he asked for a link to your site. Please take this as a friendly warning for the future. Enjoy your day.
