21 My examples of the general solution

http://bentley.110mb.com/?mag

has example layouts of the general solutions. To simplify the code for my purposes the images are simply scaled by the browser based on the height and width calculated. Alt and title attributes are supported as are links for each of the images. I’ve also reduced the methods to only two (one for an across layout and one for a block layout).

The first example is 7 across and the second is 4 on the left and 4 on the right.

Any orientation is allowed in any order. Let me know what you think.

22 Python version

I’ve created a Python version of the PHP class. The project page is here and a test/demo here

Right now it’s pretty much just a line-by line translation, with some minor improvements. I’ll look at adding link, alt text and title options—it should be trivial to do so.

Alex, how about you show us your code?

23 Source Code

http://bentley.110mb.com/?zip

will download a zip file containing the relevant code.

I’ve included the code for the display page, the CSS file I’m using, the Class file for the PHP class and contact info.

24 Links

I’m also interested in a way to add links or perhaps a lightbox integration into this script.. Very useful.

25 Error with Example 4

Great idea, but it seems that the alignment is not working with example 4. It looks way off in IE and stills slightly off in FF.

26 A few improvements for this awesome script

I changed the script, so that it returns width AND height for each image and also ALT parameter. By doing so I can not to enlarge images physicaly (I am using phpThumb to automaticaly change size of uploaded images) if they are too small (which saves processing power) and fill WIDTH, HEIGHT and ALT parameters in IMG tag, which I believe is more standarts compilant.

27 Simpler formula?

Division is expensive, and while the math site gave you A solution to the equations, it probably wasn’t the most readable or efficient solution. Working with the equations by hand (which means I could have a bug) I came up with the following got 4 images:

w2 = (t * r1 * r2 + t * r2 * r3) / (r1 * r2 + r2 * r3 + r1 * r3)

28 Simpler Formula? Updated

Looks like something in the comments system screwed up my formula. I’ll use ‘x’ for multiplication since that seems to be the issue:

w2 = (t x r1 x r2 + t x r1 x r3) / (r1 x r2 + r2 x r3 + r1 x r3)

29 A Pixel Out

Hi, I thought it was a really great and informative article. Yet, I couldn’t help but notice that on every page at least one image was a single pixel out. I’m sure that wasn’t intentional.

I think the only solution would be to make sure that every image has an even width by using:

if (a % b == 1) {}

Something like that could solve the problem.

30 order of images

It would be great if the order of the images could be fixed as to the order they were inserted into the array. I have a layout of one portrait and one landscape image that I have a need to be in a specific order (like before/after shots with before always on the left). The layout works but sometimes the order is reversed.

Is there a way to fix the order in a situation like this?
