This won’t work with anonymous access. Also, double check your link (and use the latest version of my script).

Thanks for an awsome tool. I’m like many others here, I’d like to show the names next to the photos…two issues:
1- after adding a column, how do I make the names show on the column list next to the photos?
2- currently showing the picture name along with the .jpg extension, how to show the names on step1 above and below the photo instead of next to it (making the WP box expand and retract depending on the name)?

Thanks,
Osman

Didn’t know exactly where “at the top” meant for placing
var SelectedItem = -1;
so I tried in about 10 places – still, the display wouldn’t continue after just one round. This is the code I used:

/* Random Picture Questions and comments: xyz.com */var PictureLibraryURL = “/coi/QACP/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=Display&XMLDATA=TRUE&List=%7BE5A19097%2DFB7F%2D4D49%2D8CBF%2DE19C9636C260%7D”;function DisplayPicture(xmlhttpobject){var xmlDoc = xmlhttpobject.responseXML;var ListItems = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(“z:row”)||xmlDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS(“*”,”row”);if(SelectedItem <= ListItems.length){SelectedItem++; }else{SelectedItem = 0;};
PictureURL = "/" + ListItems[SelectedItem].getAttribute("ows_RequiredField");PictureURL=PictureURL.replace(/\.([^\.]+)$/, "_$1") + ".jpg";PictureURL=PictureURL.replace(/\/([^\/]+)$/,"/_w/"+"$1");document.getElementById("PicturePlaceholder").src= PictureURL;}try {var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();} catch(e) {try {var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");} catch(e) {try {var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");} catch(e) {alert("Your browser does not support XMLHTTP.");}}}xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function(){if (xmlhttp.readyState==4){if (xmlhttp.status==200){setInterval ( "DisplayPicture(xmlhttp)",3500);}else{alert("Problem retrieving XML data");}}};xmlhttp.open("GET",PictureLibraryURL,true);xmlhttp.send(null);

Any suggestions?Adam

I was looking for a code for the image rotator in Sharepoint. My website has images in all the pages. So i basically need only 5 pictures from the image library to be used for the rotator in the homepage. According to your script the bunch of images in the library is being shown. Can you please guide me in the script on how to give only the selected 5 images in a sequential manner.

I’ve tried this in the picture library and on the home page – what am I doing wrong?
