Changes to CSS script

Accurax · #1 Dec 12th, 2006, 13:29

Im using the CSS script that Crew kindly pointed me towards last week, and ive got it working with my database no problem.

However id like to make a few changes, and unfortunatly this is a little over my head at the moment.

Ive made some basic changes allready, and wondered if anyone here can help me make the others?

First of all heres the code

HTML

Code: Select all

<!-- Start of image gallary -->
<ul id="gallery">
<li><a href="#nogo">
<img src="<?php $username = $_SESSION['username'];
$query = "SELECT picture FROM members WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
        or die ("could not find user");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['picture']; ?>" alt="#1" title="#1" /></a></li>

<li><a href="#nogo">
<img src="<?php $username = $_SESSION['username'];
$query = "SELECT picture2 FROM members WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
        or die ("could not find user");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['picture2']; ?>" alt="#2" title="#2" /></a></li>

<li><a href="#nogo">
<img src="<?php $username = $_SESSION['username'];
$query = "SELECT picture3 FROM members WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
        or die ("could not find user");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['picture3']; ?>" alt="#3" title="#3" /></a></li>

<li><a href="#nogo">
<img src="<?php $username = $_SESSION['username'];
$query = "SELECT picture4 FROM members WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
        or die ("could not find user");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['picture4']; ?>" alt="#4" title="#4" /></a></li>

<li><a href="#nogo">
<img src="<?php $username = $_SESSION['username'];
$query = "SELECT picture5 FROM members WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
        or die ("could not find user");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['picture5']; ?>" alt="#5" title="#5" /></a></li>

<li><a href="#nogo">
<img src="<?php $username = $_SESSION['username'];
$query = "SELECT picture6 FROM members WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
        or die ("could not find user");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['picture6']; ?>" alt="#6" title="#6" /></a></li>

<li class="rgt"><a href="#nogo">
<img src="<?php $username = $_SESSION['username'];
$query = "SELECT picture7 FROM members WHERE user_name='$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
        or die ("could not find user");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['picture7']; ?>" alt="#7" title="#7" /></a></li>

<li class="pad"></li>
</ul>
<!-- End of Gallary -->

You can ignore the php for the sake of this post, as it all works perfectly.

Next the CSS

Code: Select all

ul#gallery {
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
    width:448px;
    height:336px;
    position:relative;
    background-color: #CC9999;
  }
#gallery li {
  list-style-type:none; 
  width:64px; 
  height:48px; 
  float:left; 
  z-index:100;
  }
#gallery li.lft {
  float:left; 
  clear:left;
  }
#gallery li.rgt {
  float:right; 
  clear:right;
  }
#gallery a {
  position:relative; 
  width:64px; 
  height:48px; 
  display:block; 
  float:left; 
  z-index:100; 
  cursor:default;
  }
#gallery a img {
  position:relative; 
  width:62px; 
  height:46px; 
  border:1px solid #FFFFFF; 
  z-index:100;
  }
#gallery a:hover {
    width:160px;
    height:120px;
    padding:108px 144px;
    position:absolute;
    left:0;
    top:0;
    z-index:20;
  }
#gallery a:hover img {
    position:relative;
    width:160px;
    height:120px;
    border:0;
    z-index:20;
  }
#gallery a:active, #gallery a:focus {
    width:320px;
    height:240px;
    padding:48px 64px;
    position:absolute;
    left:0;
    top:0;
    z-index:10;
    background-color: #transparent;
  }
#gallery a:active img, #gallery a:focus img {
    position:relative;
    width:320px;
    height:239px;
    border:0;
    z-index:10;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
  }
/* hack for Internet Explorer */
#gallery li.pad {
  height:0; 
  display:block; 
  margin-top:-2px; 
  width:10px; 
  font-size:0;
  }

/* hack for Opera 7+ */
@media all and (min-width:0px){
#gallery a:hover {
  background:#FFFFFF; 
  width:320px; 
  height:240px; 
  padding:48px 64px; 
  position:absolute; 
  left:0; 
  top:0; 
  z-index:10;
  }
#gallery a:hover img {
  background:#FFFFFF; 
  position:relative; 
  width:320px; 
  height:240px; 
  border:0; 
  z-index:10;
  }
}

Ok, so, what do I want to change?
1) I'd like to have picture1 displayed by default when the gallary loads up for the first time, as opposed to the blank space at the moment.

2) When you roll over an image, and have one selected id like it if it didnt go blank... it looks half finished, maybe if i could make it go black... anything just not the same colour as the background.

4)Id like the option of adding some text under each photo.... any idea's on this?

Any help is much appreciated on this one... thanks guys

Assuming you have cut-n-pasted the html code, then your first sql statement is trying to select 'picture' and not 'picture1'. So if your naming includes the number, its not finding anything.

As to including some text. Save the relevant text with the image in the database. Wrap the image and its text in a div to keep the two together.

Can I have a link to view the rollover problem?

Thanks Geoff, but i havnt cut and pasted the code.... the code actually works fine... that first sql statement is correct.

Im just looking to make some improvements here... i understand the html no problem.... im struggleing with the CSS that controls it.. im pretty sure that pretty much all of the changes i want to amke can be done by editing the CSS here.

I was just hoping for a few pointes on what to change or add to acheive what i want.

My main issue is the way the active thumbnail, and the hover thumbnails are invisible, it makes it look tatty in my mind.

Edit :: Yes the CSS is a cut & paste job atm

Like I said. I'd much rather have a working page to look at as then I can make use of my tools to figure out what is happening.

What a GREAT gallery! That was fun to look at...

Had a look at the site. It seems as if you have managed to get it to do what you want.
