Need help coding an issue with Lightbox.....

[Lundy]

Hi all.

Pretty big newb here.

I'm trying to make a Lightbox only display one picture on the page, yet have the lightbox's "slideshow" show additional pictures. I know how to do this....I just need to make sure the additional pictures get a class of "lightbox_hide_image". See below.........

As it stands, it's displaying every picture that was uploaded on the display page. To repeat, I would like it to display the first picture ONLY on the display page but show all other uploaded pictures in the lightbox's slideshow.

The current code which displays all uploaded pictures to the page is thus:

<?php if ($node->teaser): /** BEGIN IMAGES **/ ?>
    <?php if ($imagegroup = $node->content['group_image_information']): ?>
      <?php if (trim($imagegroup['field_storyimage']['#value'])): ?>
        <fieldset class="content-image">
          <?php // Teaser view, show first image only if multiple ?>
          <?php print $imagegroup['field_storyimage']['#value']; ?>
        </fieldset>
      <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
  <?php else: // Full node view ?>
    <?php if ($field_storyimage[0]['fid'] != 0): ?>
      <fieldset class="content-image">
        <?php foreach ($field_storyimage as $image): ?>
          <?php print $image['view']; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
      <?php if ($field_image_credit[0]['view']): ?>
          <?php print $field_image_credit[0]['view']; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <?php if ($field_imagecaption): ?>
          <?php print $field_imagecaption[0]['view']; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
      </fieldset>
    <?php endif; ?>
  <?php endif; /** END IMAGES **/ ?>

Somewhere within that code, I'd like to have an else statement that says something like: "If the image submitted is not the first image submitted then make it a <fieldset class = lightbox_hide_image></fieldset>.

Where would the best place be to insert this code?

Thanks!

step one, don't open and close php for each line.

<?php
 if ($node->teaser): /** BEGIN IMAGES **/ 
     if ($imagegroup = $node->content['group_image_information']): 
       if (trim($imagegroup['field_storyimage']['#value'])): 
        <fieldset class="content-image">
           // Teaser view, show first image only if multiple 
           print $imagegroup['field_storyimage']['#value']; 
        </fieldset>
       endif; 
     endif; 
   else: // Full node view 
     if ($field_storyimage[0]['fid'] != 0): 
      <fieldset class="content-image">
         foreach ($field_storyimage as $image): 
           print $image['view']; 
         endforeach; 
       if ($field_image_credit[0]['view']): 
           print $field_image_credit[0]['view']; 
         endif; 
         if ($field_imagecaption): 
           print $field_imagecaption[0]['view']; 
         endif; 
      </fieldset>
     endif; 
   endif; /** END IMAGES **/
?>

thats a much better way

Yeah that is ugly code and it appears you did not write it. Looks like some open source php application (in fact, it's probably drupal according to a quick google search.)

Do you realize that there is nothing even resembling lightbox code in your code sample (as it's probably all contained in the $image['view'] array element value?)

So...we'll just talk about doing this assuming drupal is not in the equation...

(I speak better with code)

<?php
  $images = array("one.gif", "two.gif", "three.gif");
  foreach ($images as $image) {
  	// since you have a for loop already, use a counter variable.
  	$counter++; //increment it.
  	if ( $counter == 1 ) {
		echo "<a href=\"images/{$image}\" rel=\"lightbox[roadtrip]\">";
		echo "<img src=\"thumbs{$image}/\"\>";
		echo "</a>\n";
  	} else {
  		echo "<a href=\"images/{$image}\" rel=\"lightbox[roadtrip]\" class=\"lightbox_hide_image\">&nbsp;</a>\n";
  	}
  }
  ?>

Now, you'll have to take my example and apply it to the drupal template or appeal to the template author or drupal forums (or wherever it came from) for further information.

Good luck!
