Using Javascript within a PHP framework (Omeka)

Post by redgreen99 »

I am using a PHP CMS much like Drupal (it's called Omeka). I'd like to include an image carousel on my pages, and have only found Javascript that does this (no PHP, which would make things easier). I've read that I can include the Javascript in my php file by echoing the script something like below, but that is not working. Any help you can would be appreciated (as well as any PHP image gallery carousels you might have seen!). Thanks!

This is the actual Javascrip I wish to include:

Code: Select all

 
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascripts/compressed.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $('slideshow').style.display='none';
    $('wrapper').style.display='block';
    var slideshow=new TINY.slideshow("slideshow");
    window.onload=function(){
        slideshow.auto=true;
        slideshow.speed=8;
        slideshow.link="linkhover";
        slideshow.info="information";
        slideshow.thumbs="slider";
        slideshow.left="slideleft";
        slideshow.right="slideright";
        slideshow.scrollSpeed=4;
        slideshow.spacing=5;
        slideshow.active="#fff";
        slideshow.init("slideshow","image","imgprev","imgnext","imglink");
    }
</script>
 
This is how I tried to work it into the PHP (but it doesn't work):

Code: Select all

 
<?
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"javascripts/compressed.js\"></script> \n";
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\"> \n";
echo "$('slideshow').style.display='none'; \n";
echo "$('wrapper').style.display='block'; \n";
echo "var slideshow=new TINY.slideshow(\"slideshow\"); \n";
echo "window.onload=function(){ \n";
echo "slideshow.auto=true; \n";
echo "slideshow.speed=8; \n";
echo "slideshow.link=\"linkhover\"; \n";
echo "slideshow.info=\"information\"; \n";
echo "slideshow.thumbs=\"slider\"; \n";
echo "slideshow.left=\"slideleft\"; \n";
echo "slideshow.right=\"slideright\"; \n";
echo "slideshow.scrollSpeed=4; \n";
echo "slideshow.spacing=5; \n";
echo "slideshow.active=\"#fff\"; \n";
echo "slideshow.init(\"slideshow\",\"image\",\"imgprev\",\"imgnext\",\"imglink\"); \n";
echo "}\n";
echo "</script>";
?>
