Fading Away Image or Gallery
Language(s): CSS
Compatible with: MediaWiki 1.22+ (all)

Description[edit]

Enables an end user to post an Image, text, or gallery that fades, shrinks away before looping to start over. Will not show correctly on lower versions of ie (ie 9 & down, I think). Tested in the Foreground skin, but should work in all Mediawiki skins. Looks best with a slideshow.

To help visualize picture the text below fading away from you (like it's traveling away from you):

1.

PHOTO OR TEXT STARTING


2.

PHOTO OR TEXT MIDDLE OF TIME PERIOD


3.

PHOTO OR TEXT ALMOST END


4.Vanish (END)

5.Start over

Usage[edit]

Shrinking, Fading Image, text, or gallery must be between the following division tags:<div id="fadingimages"> </div> & for good alignment, centering and for avoiding possible strange previews I suggest you wrap the fadingimages divisor inside another divisor.


Slideshow Example:(using the Extension:JavascriptSlideshow & an arraymaptemplate from Extension:Semantic Forms with the sizes being defined as a variable via the Extension:Variables

<div style="width: 242px;">
<div class="fadingimages">{{#vardefine:width|242}} {{#vardefine:height|200}}
{{#slideshow:
{{#arraymaptemplate:Image1.jpg,Image2.jpg,Image3.jpg|Slideshow Image|,|}}
|refresh=2000 sequence=random transition=blindDown
}}
</div></div>

Less Complex Slideshow example:

<div style="width: 242px;">
<div class="fadingimages">
<slideshow sequence="random" transition="fade" refresh="10000">
<div>[[Image:Image1.jpg|thumb|right|242px|Caption 1]]</div>
<div>[[Image:Image2.jpg|thumb|right|242px|Caption 2]]</div>
<div>[[Image:Image3.jpg|thumb|right|242px|Caption 3]]</div>
</slideshow>
</div></div>

Gallery
