Hi all,

I'm using the HOT Joomla Carousel AJAX Image Rotator and need the images to be rotated in sequence.

So, all images are names 10.jpg, 11.jpg, 12.jpg, 13.jpg, 14.jpg, etc. But, they are displayed in random sequence, and not in order, as can be seen here:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://als.org.za/modules/mod_hot_joomla_carousel/js/jquery.carousel.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function(){ jQuery("div.foo").carousel({ direction: "horizontal", loop: 1, dispItems: 1, pagination: false, paginationPosition: "inside", autoSlide: 1, autoSlideInterval: 3000, delayAutoSlide: false, combinedClasses: false, effect: "slide", slideEasing: "swing", animSpeed: "slow", equalWidths: "true" }); }); </script> <div class="hotcarousel"> <div class="foo"> <ul style="margin:0; padding:0"> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/19a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/14b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/15b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/17b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/23a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/24a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/17a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/19b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/12b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/14a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/16b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/11b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/11a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/20a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/16a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/21a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/24b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/22b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/13a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/23b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/22a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/12a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/13b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/18a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/18b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/20b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/15a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/21b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> </ul> </div> </div>


Does anyone know how to "hack the code" in order to make it load the images as follows:

Code:
<li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/11a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/11b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/12a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/12b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/13a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/13b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/14a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/14b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/15a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/15b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/16a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/16b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/17a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/17b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/18a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/18b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/19a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/19b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/20a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/20b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/21a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/21b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/22a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/22b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/23a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/23b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/24a.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li> <li><img src="/images/stories/stasies/24b.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="400" /></li>

It's not random order. It's order per date when files are last modified.

Is it possible to order the images by filename?

if you are having issues with ordering and your server. You can add this simple piece of code to make it sort alphabetically or numerically.

Go to modules/mod_hot_joomla/carousel/tmpl and open the file default.php

Around Line 159 you will see the beginning of the for loop
for ($loop = 0; $loop <= $infinite_pics_number; $loop += 1) {

add this line after it

//sort images
sort($infinite_pic);
//end sort

save the file and re-upload it to the server.

Now your images will sort like this:

a-image
b-image

or

1-image
2-image

Happy Coding!!! B)
