I recently discovered SnowStack, which allows for the creation of a 3D-style gallery, the effect can be seen here http://www.satine.org/research/webkit/snowleopard/snowstack.html
I'm going through the source code now, because I'm trying to find a way of getting it to load images off my server instead of loading random images from Flickr using the Flickr API.
If I had a guess, it's somewhere around here that changes need to be made, but I am a bit of a novice at JavaScrip/JQuery, so would appreciate if someone could help me with the correct way to tweak the code so as to make it load images from a folder on my server instead.
function flickr(callback, page)
{
var url = "http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.interestingness.getList&api_key=60746a125b4a901f2dbb6fc902d9a716&per_page=21&extras=url_o,url_m,url_s&page=" + page + "&format=json&jsoncallback=?";
jQuery.getJSON(url, function(data)
{
var images = jQuery.map(data.photos.photo, function (item)
{
return {
thumb: item.url_s,
zoom: 'http://farm' + item.farm + '.static.flickr.com/' + item.server + '/' + item.id + '_' + item.secret + '.jpg',
link: 'http://www.flickr.com/photos/' + item.owner + '/' + item.id
};
});
callback(images);
});
}
There's also a tiny bit of documentation available, which alas does not seem to operate as suggested: https://code.google.com/p/css-vfx/wiki/SnowStack
Many thanks in advance and feel free to suggest better alternatives to this SnowStack Gallery that you think are better fitted/ more browser-friendly than this!
