best way to do facebook style photo gallery ? use flash ?
Hey guys, Im trying to create a photo gallery where photos are listed, but when a user clicks in to one, they can click next and previous. Im trying to do the most efficient way here. Im thinking I need to store the entire set of photos so I know where the photo is in relation to the other photos in the set so I know the next photo and the previous. I was thinking of flashing the photo set across the pages, that way I dont have to do a database call. I could put the photos into the session as well, that way I dont have to worry about flashing all the time. Any ideas? Keep in mind that I want to use as little server side resources as possible. =) Thanks in advance... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Flash SlideShow Builder is a good program for doing that. http://www.flash-slide-show.com/flash-slide-show.php?sid=3 This software is easy-to-master, and no flash background knowledge is required, yet you can still make an excellent flash slideshow with 200+ transition effects, background music, text caption, etc. Hope this would help. ***************************************************** ---- Color your digital life --- Complete Solutions for You Picture Slideshow http://flashslideshow.blogspot.com ***************************************************** --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I tried out the acts_as_list plugin and it works great. Thats exactly what I had in mind. Makes sense that rails would have plugin for it already. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: best way to do facebook style photo gallery ? use flash
well its not as clean, because you would have to be calling the paginator on everypage or transfer it between pages via flash, using a list is much cleaner, and doesnt require you having to invoke a paginator. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
