Question show all images from a folder

Hi,

I am having some troubles where to beging this one. I am searching everywhere to find out how I can display all images contained in a particular folder.

I am creating a portfolio, and only want to be able to just upload the image file to say, the logo's folder, and have that displayed automatically in the protfolio.

I have been doing this by using a database as a midway communicator to tell CF that the image is there.

Is it even possible? Well, we are talking about CF, so what am I saying, of course it is....

Thanks Joe

Why not use <cfdirectory> to read the contents of the directory, then loop over the results and only output the file if it has .gif or .jpg in the file name?

Talking

Thanks kiteless,

I did have that in mind (well not as clearly as you), but it seems to be on the complex side (I am quiete new to CF). I was hoping that there would be a read and display as image tag or something.

Again, thanks for the advice.

Joe

Nope, that's about the only way to do it. You could of course write a function or custom tag that you could reuse whenever you need that functionality. Either way, it's actually quite easy and would only take a few lines of code. Something like:

<cfdirectory action="LIST" directory="#getDirectoryFromPath( getTemplatePath() )#/images/" name="directoryData">
<cfoutput query="directoryData">
<cfif findNoCase( '.jpg', directoryData.name ) or findNoCase( '.gif', directoryData.name )>
<img src="images/#directoryData.name#">
</cfif>
</cfoutput>

Obviously substitute your image directory if it differs from what I'm using above.

Your a savior...

I have been trying to work out how to do this, and I now see what I missed out.

I am pretty crappy at coding, but I learn.

Thank you sooo much

Joe
