coding something can be quite a long process for me.
anja mailed me some picture which i wanted to put on the homepage of the SUICMC04.
since i wanted to do it in the simplest and cleanest possible way i thought to make little table with links to all of the pictures, so that when you click on them, they pop up in a new window with the right size, with a nifty “close window”-link.
in the end it turned out to be a longer process than i thought:
here’s the way i did it:
– talk to b. about it.
– let b. propose some php-trickery.
– code something around:
<? $name = ereg_replace(“[^a-zA-Z_.-]”, “”, $_GET[‘name’]); ?>
<body>
<p align=”center” class=”text”><? readfile(“pics/” . $name . “.txt”) ?></p>
<p align=”center”><img src=”pics/<? echo $name ?>.jpg”></p>
<p align=”center”><a href=”javascript:window.close()” class=”link”>Fenster schliessen/Close Window</a></p>
– add all the pics to the subdirectory /pics and add a PICNAME.txt file with the description fer each and every file.
– don’t forget to use proper html-code.
– test to see if the link ../gelaende.php?name=PICNAME (aare for example) does work.
– be happy that aare.jpg and aare.txt do actually get put in the code.
– make a thumbnail of each picture (iphoto comes in handy here).
– build a 4 by 4 table with all the pics.
– don’t mess up the code that michel and äbu made.
– insert
<a href=”../gelaende.php?name=PICNAME” onclick=”window.open(‘http://www.suicmc04.ch/gelaende.php?name=PICNAME’,’popup’,’width=640,height=480,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,
directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=yes,left=0,top=0′);return false”><img src=”../pics/PICNAME_t.jpg” width=”56″ height=”56″></a>
in each cell.
– substitute PICNAME with the actual name of the .jpg in each case (3*4*4 times) and don’t forget a single one.
– thank b. for being such a nice guy.
– look at the endresult.
– see that you need to look that the windows are in the right size (which they aren’t, but i have to go to bed, i’ll do that soon).
-go to bed.
-get up in 5 hours and 30 minutes.
