I think that what I’d do is probably just reverse sort the array of images when they’re read from the file originally. I haven’t looked at what this would take, specifically, but it seems like using rsort() to change the order of the array would be useful, rather than recoding the logic.

Hey Joe, Yeah I’d like to let the gallery run backwards so that the last image added to the .txt file will be displayed first (in the thumbnails as well).

I managed to display the last image (full) after all when a is not set with;

$lastImage = end($image);
$display = $lastImage[0];
$description = $lastImage[1];
$alt = $lastImage[2];

+ a minor change to the previous button when a is not set, by declaring; ‘$suma = ($suma - 1);’

But the thumbnails themselves prove to be a bit harder. I reckon it has something to do with the $start and $finish variables but not entirely sure?

I just saw your sample installation and there are good. You love animals? I really like your gallery. I am also an animal lover.

Do you mean that you want the pictures gallery to essentially run backwards, or do you mean that you’d want to start with the last image, but then continue around in a circular fashion?

Hi there, great simple script! Very easy to use, although a bit messy ;P

I wondered if it’s possible to let a gallery start (big + thumbnails) with the last pic added to the .txt file. I tried to fiddle around to get the last item in the array but can only get the array nmbr and not the actual img value. Prob my lack of PHP coding skills.

Would you know of a solution? That would be greatly appreciated!

OMG, Joe, you are an incredibly generous man. Not only do you provide an excellent script, you seem to also provide in-depth troubleshooting. Kudos to you! I admire your patience.

Hi!

Nice piece of scripting. I use it my website. Is the skip to thumbnails link not really functioning?

Hi, have just started using the script and I think it’s brilliant, but I have one problem. Is it possible when clicking on a thumbnail for the image and its description to appear in a popup window instead of next to the thumbnails? If so, what code do I need to change to make this happen?

Thanks in advance, Steve.

Hi, Mark - I’ll try and find time to come up with a solution for you in January. Basically, you need to add a function to the script which organizes the galleries into groups, and indicates what order the galleries should sequence in, then automatically passes onto the next gallery when it reaches the end of the previous. It’s not, on the whole, a complicated change, but it’s not trivial.
