SlideshowCK: using folder names dynamically

SlideshowCK: using folder names dynamically was created by Gorgonz

Situation: want to show a slideshow in an article, depending on a folder name.

Question: is there a way to get the folder name from an url param (like mysite/fotos?foldername=newfolder) and show the images of this folder instead?

Maybe i will have to create a component (module?), so to check, if foldername is ok and not a hack. How to transfer the foldername in this case?

thx a lot in advance for any suggestion

Hi
you can load the images from a folder from the module options using Slideshow CK Params
then you can use the module into an article

Hi CEd,

I know this and I had purchased Slideshow CK Params already.

Reading my text again makes me aware of the fact, that it is not a clear description ;-).

Things start with an url, that has an additional parameter, like http://mywebsite/article/?folderid=xyz. I want to get xyz the new autoloadfoldername, in a way, that with this call of the article, the folder switches to xyz and shows the images inside it. This means, that the article will stay the same for all kind of images, but the url defines, which images to show. And of course, this article has the loadposition for the slideshow.

Meanwhile I think, that my intentions are too specific for a regular solution, but maybe I'm wrong ;-). Is there some solution, ready2go?

I see and I agree, I think also that this is too specific to be integrated for everyone

of course it could be possible with a custom development but I will not integrate this in a near future

yes, accepted, CEd. Its not a common usecase.

Since I can't solve this with an override, I will develop a small plugin to set the folder path ;-).

Anyway, thx a lot for help
