problem in Using highslide js in web2py ?

[Sampath Reddy]

Hi,

       I am trying to view my image gallery by using highslide js in my application.

       But I am not able to load/link graphics folder to hs.graphicsDir. As this is necessary for all the effects in viewing my image gallery.

       I am struck here. Could anyone please help me to fix this ?

      Your help is appreciated.


Thank you for your help.

From the highslide documentation, it looks like you could put the highslide files in /web2py/applications/yourapp/static/js/highslide/, and then in layout.html:

<script type="text/javascript" src="{{=URL('static', 'highslide/highslide.js')}}"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{=URL('static', 'highslide/highslide.css')}}" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    hs.graphicsDir = '{{=URL('static', 'highslide/graphics')}}';
</script>

Thank you Anthony for your quick replay.

       But I already tried loading graphics folder by using URL option as you suggested.

       But it shows loading on image and the graphics options ( which are close button , next , previous buttons etc... which are in graphics folder ) are not loading.

       You can see the attached image file.

       Do we have to change anything in highslide.css/js so that intended graphics will lode ?

       But when I run these files simply in a simple html file without web2py the gallery is working properly as expected.

       Again Thank you for your time.

       Appreciate your help.

Maybe try adding the trailing "/" to the graphicsDir URL:

hs.graphicsDir = '{{=URL('static', 'highslide/graphics') + '/'}}';

Thank you anthony for your help.

Now it is working as expected . Thank you :)

Why it is working when we add a trailing '/' as you suggested ? Is it because it is a folder we have to end with '/' ?

It looks like graphicsDir is actually a partial URL, to which highslide will append the remaining URL paths for resources it needs. It is expecting the partial path to end in a "/". The web2py URL() function, however, does not add a trailing "/", so it must be appended manually.
