Now that Form Builder is reinvented and have to say integrates like a breeze into a Wordpress page. Now I am wondering what will be the next item on the list to receive a major "makeover"? :rolleyes:
Photogallery or Web Calendar? Are we allowed to vote?

PS Those "customers" who complain/ed, because they have to pay for a similiar new product, stop moaning and see how many free upgrades Microsoft offers!!!:mad:

That would have to be the Photo Gallery!
If I'm not mistaken, the Web Calendar already had its makeover and is now Flash-free... :)

A non-Flash gallery that easily integrates with VSD (or any site) would be excellent :D
I have so many JQuery gizmos bookmarked, it's getting ridiculous :lol:... I'd love to have one program to do everything in (rotating banners, sliders, galleries...).

I'm sure the price would be well worth it ;)

Agreed Paintbrush! I want it all in one program too, so tired of having to have this program for this feature and that program for that feature and 5 programs that all basically do the same thing except each have a feature that the others don't have that you need so you gotta have em all lol.

CC please give us a really nice photo gallery / slider program that we can have all the features in it we need in one place :)

Here is a bit of php that sits on top of your html that will put a random image into your page. It is not as complicated as you think and most of the work is available if you Google php. No program will do exactly what you want. I must admit that even though creating forms and doing something with the data is easy with php. Using Form Builder is even easier. So it is with VSD. But it is fun playing with alternate methods.

This was to rotate a random image of a painting in a picture frame the image variable is $image

This goes in the html where the image is to be displayed <img src="<?php echo $image;?>"
You add a refresh of say 10 seconds in a meta statement that reloads the page and a new image at random is selected. You can insert php into the html. Normally the page has to have a php extention unless you use a htaccess statement to process any php found.

<?php
// Directory to read images from
$dir = "C:/wamp/www/Las_Site/photos/";
$count = count(glob($dir . "*"));
$filenames = glob( "$dir*" );
// get random of count
reset:
$x=0;
$x=rand(0,$count-1);
echo $x;
$image=$filenames[$x];
echo $image;
$len=strlen($image);
$image=substr($image,27,$len);
$tmb=substr($image,0,5);
if($tmb=="thumb")goto reset;
$image="http://localhost/Las_Site/photos/".$image;
?>
