Image Slide Show and resizing images.
Finally got the finger out and got around to implementing fully the resizing capability for ImageSlideShow. It is on view and in test on the demo site here. I still need to spend some time testing / tweaking it, just to make sure all is ok and that I can provide reasonably simple instructions on how to make it work.
Should be able to release it on the Joomla! extension site in the next few days. I will need to write up some instructions on how to configure it as it is not as straightforward as the rest of ISS.
Once it is released, I think I’ll actually get down to writing up a tutorial on how ISS actually works, walking through the PHP and Javascript required to allow it to do what it actually does. ISS has served me well in learning about PHP and Javascript which was the original intent, so it seems good to wrap it up by revealing how it works.
The question then becomes what to look at next… am toying around with taking some extensions which work on J! 1.x but have no current owner/updater and see what I can do with them. I do also want to get to grips with MySQL and CSS so maybe I’ll go in that direction. Maybe I take this site from being a WordPress blog and actually put it on Joomla! 1.5. Maybe Drupal is worth a look? We’ll see…
Maybe I’ll also get around to organising this site so it actually makes sense! and that people can actually easily find the download for ISS, just noticed I couldn’t find it myself! If you are looking for the current version it is here.
