Change slide layout based on image name
Posted: 17 May 25, 10:40

I´d like to use different slide layouts within one gallery based on the naming convention of the image files. E.g. images including "_pan" in the file name should be shown in a different layout than others. I tried the following code (simplified) inside the slide.htt:

example 1:
<%
if ( imagePath.includes("_pan") ) {
out.println(imagePath + " is a panorama.");
}
%>

example 2:
<%
if ( "$imagePath".includes("_pan") ) {
out.println(imagePath + " is a panorama.");
}
%>

With both I get the same error message when I try to create the album:
reflection error: bsh.ReflectError: Method includes( java.lang.String ) not found in class'java.lang.String'

Please let me know, what I´m doing wrong! Thanks!

Switch to Groovy it is better than BeanShell, which has not been updated for over six years.
Use .contains() instead of .includes()

Plenty of scripting examples in the developer documentation.

Moving to skin and tool development as this is a question not a tip.

I´m not a programmer and don´t have any experience with java. I´m using, whatever comes with JAlbum 5.1 and can´t tell whether it´s BeanShell or Groovy. I just need the snippet of code that allows me to run the if query properly.

.contains() gives me the same error.

Are you really using jAlbum 5.1?

Anyway, you could just use

if(imagePath.indexOf("_pan") != -1) {

jAlbum 5.1 does not support Groovy.

Using .contains should work as well. Here's the String API documentation
