ADDING JAVASCRIPT with PHP???

**tonitonitoni2** · 01-03-2007, 02:38 PM

I am trying to add this on my Front Page and am having trouble on where to place the particular code?? Am I supposed to put this in application_top or includes/languages/english/index.php??

Random Images from a Directory Using PHP

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

In osCMax v1.7, this code goes in the <head> section of your template's main_page.tpl.php:

HTML Code:

<script src="js/dw_rotator.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/dw_random.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

You can decide how best to include the php functions (either write create your own file or include it in application_top.php to make it available on any page).

And the final bit of code would go on the actual template page where you want it to display:

PHP Code:

 <?php if ( $image_list = getImagesList($path_to_images) ) : ?>

<script type="text/javascript">

  ];
var rotator1 = new dw_RandRotator(4000); // rotation speed
// images array, width and height of images, transition filter (boolean)
rotator1.setUpImage(imgList, null, null, false);
</script>

<?php else : ?>
<!-- image to display if directory listing fails -->
<img src="images/smile.gif" width="88" height="88" alt="">

<script type="text/javascript">dw_Rotator.start = function() {};</script>

<?php endif; ?>

Ok, I must just be a spaz. I have tried the above and all I get on the main page is a red x.

osCMax v2.0

Any suggestions??

Thanks Michael for your quick reply.

The img src is showing up as variables so I think you need to make sure you have everything installed correctly.

Also, my javascript console is showing these errors:

Error: dw_RandRotator is not defined
Source File: osCMax v2.0
Line: 14

I think you forgot to add something somewhere...or have the incorrect path to your php functions maybe

Oh, and instead of saying thanks, click the Thanks! button in my post

Thanks Michael. I will try messing with it some more.

OH, where would I put the <body onload="dw_Rotator.start()">

in application_top or main_page.tpl.php?
