Implementing basic next/previous picture - atk4

I'm trying to convert the Adjuster example mentioned here: http://agiletoolkit.org/learn/understand/view/interactive
into a View that is able to show me the next/previous picture of a list of given images.
I guess the number in the example could be an index into an array of pictures.
I'm just not sure how to provide the list of pictures, when all the code is put in init() for the View, so no way to give it the picturelist before that...
Should I use memorize/recall for this list also to prevent it getting lost upon reload ?
is there another example that might help me?

I think you what you are doing can be much easier done with a classic JavaScript Lightbox script. You would supply it list of images and it would show one full-screen.
If not, you can use this:

This will give you slides similar to the ones on http://agiletech.ie/
Be advised that this code is a little old.

Can we use gauge/gage in Ionic ? (Cordova)

This is my first post here, so I'm sorry if I'm not in the good section.
My "simple" question is, can we add a gage/gauge (I don't now the exact english spelling), in a Ionic project ?
A thing like that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2qrYL0Le24
Or an other exemple:
http://crisbeto.github.io/angular-svg-round-progressbar/
I already tried to insert gauge like that in my project but the gauge never appears, so please, can you help me ?
(The goal is to show to an user a speed for exemple or the batterie life of his smartphone, any importance, juste a jauge who can be incremented or decremented)
Can you explain me please how it works, for example via a Codepen or anything else. I had already tried to search response but I solve anything on that.
I'm french and I am sorry for my language, but thanks in advance for you'r help !
Thanks.
I was able to get this to work:
https://github.com/frapontillo/angular-gage
You must also have the JustGage library and Raphael. Take a look at the example to see it in action. I was able to even make it work in the http://creator.ionic.io app by adding the scripts of angular-gage, JustGage and Raphael (just add a js and paste in the scripts).

Finding an solution on Views?

Hi everyone I am developing an website and I wanna use one block similarly to this link https://careers.mit.edu/#block-views-facts-block.
Which it contains the flowing text and i liked it by the way so i wanna do it similar to this.
Would be grateful if any one suggest me the right way to do it.
they are using Drupal Views to output a text blocks, after custom animate function in JS/JQuery
check this file
https://careers.mit.edu/sites/default/files/js_injector/js_injector_2.js
Drupal.Careers.scrolling_text_animate
and few more to handle text position ...
animate function is quite big, you can do similar or look for an JQ plugin

Apple Maps - Find destination/location - How to?

I'm still a noobie to app making, and i've been trying to read some of the documentary for the MapKit, but im still clueless on how to do this.
I have a textfield on TabBar2, and Apple Map on TabBar1.
How do i make the textfield on TabBar2, searchable for destinations like adresses ?
and then show the found destination, on the map on TabBar1 ?
I hope this made some sense.
Thanks in advance
One way to do it is to use MKLocalSearchClass which searches for key words and can be tricked to look for addresses as well. You need to incorporate MKLocalSearchHandler in your class in order to produce the results. You can then add the results in a map view. Apple has a sample code which works basically the same way. It creates a search based on keywords and shows the location of those keywords nearby the users location. For example coffee or movie or etc. the code can be changed to look for a address or anything else you want. Any how here is the link to the sample code, hope it guides you to the right direction.

How to add a custom field into template.php using Zen sub theme

First time poster here, I'm a designer not skilled at all with php and I have a small issue I don't seem to be able to solve. I'm making a site in drupal 7 using a sub theme on zen.
Btw this is a great CMS, even though people say it's really more a developers CMS. I have no trouble to do what I need using views, rules, display suite etc. So a big thank you for all the developers out there making this such a good CMS. But for this apparently simple problem... no module will help me (I think) and I'm kinda stuck.
So here it is: I'd like to add a subtitle next to the title in all my pages.
So what I did was to add a custom field into the content type basic page (machine name: field_sub_title) which is a simple text field.
I uncommented the following line in my template.php
function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$variables, $hook) {
$variables['sub_title'] = t('field_sub_title');
}
Now my question is how do I load the content of my custom field into that variable?
I know i need to change the second part, but I don't have a clue as into what I need to change this.
Displaying the variable into the the page.tpl.php is something I know about so I only need help with the first part.
{EDIT}
Ok I found how to do this :)
I was looking for a solution in the wrong place. I don't need to change any thing in the template.php file.
Just needed to add this bit of code into my page.tpl.php:
<?php
print $node->field_sub_title['und'][0]['value'];
?>
So I'm posting this here for other Drupal newbies struggling with this....
Your solution may work for now, but there may be a more Drupal-y way to handle a problem like this. If you haven't noticed any problems yet, you may find one or more of the following issues down the road:
Someone who doesn't know php or Drupal theming may need to change the way this works.
If you're like me, you may forget where exactly in code this was implemented.
You may see superfluous markup and/or errors on nodes (content) that do not have this sub-title field (ie. event content not having a sub-title field while basic pages and news articles do).
When you add a field to a content type, it will automatically appear anytime content in that content type is displayed. You should be able to add the sub-title field for your page, event or whatever else you need and have it automatically appear in the markup.
You can 'manage display' of a content type to drag and drop the order for fields to appear. You could take it a step further by using a module like Display Suite to add formatting or layout per-content type.
If you feel like this isn't good enough and the markup for the subtitle must be at the same level as the page title (which is rare), at least add an if statement to make your code check to see if the variable is present before trying to print it. I'd also add a new variable and comments for code readability.
<?php
$subtitle = $node->field_sub_title['und'][0]['value'];
if($subtitle){
print $subtitle;
}
?>
Consider using field_get_items or field_view_value, or at least use the LANGUAGE_NONE constant instead of 'und'
See https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.module/function/field_get_items/7 and https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!field!field.module/function/field_view_value/7
This has the added benefit of reducing the number of potential security holes you create.

How do I add an "enviroment" to my scene in 3ds MAX?

I'm Currently working on a scene and i cant seem to find infomation as to how to make a setting for my scen. Its basically a street with buildings on either sides. about 500m long.
I want to put it into a city "enviroment" for animation. Also there will be camera movements so i dont think simply adding an image as a background will work. what i want to know is, Is there a a way to achieve what i want without actually building a small city?
any help or a pointer in the right direction would be great.
thanks in advance
A cubemap might work. http://wiki.polycount.com/CubeMap
There are applications which will generate a city for you, based on criteria you enter. You can enter the building types, sizes etc. I've used one called City Engine - I used the built in wizards to create this but you can create one from scratch even specifying the road layouts: Youtube Video
3ds max has predefined models within it's system,
For example a tree:
This tutorial is great:
