Hi guys,

I make comics on my Nucleus CMS (PHP/MySQL, like Wordpress only not as cool) blog and would like to implement a comic viewer at the top of the main index (3-column layout) to allow visitors to easily scan through the comics.

What I'd really like is a basic webcomic viewer with first, previous, next and latest buttons/links at the bottom, like how most webcomics use.

I have found a number of webcomic viewer scripts out there (right now working with autokeenlite, but it's been difficult to set up), but they've all been tough to implement into the existing blog architecture.

Anyone have any experience configuring a webcomic viewer on their site or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
kermit

Have you found any solution to your issue? I am looking for something similar. A basic webcomic viewer using javascript, which would allowing viewing online or on the User's computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what I would work from (might not answer question exactly):

PHP Code:

<?php
$comic_id = $_GET['id']; // Get variable from URL
if(is_numeric($comic_id)){ // Good check for SQL Injections
    $comic_url = "http://www.comicsite.com/comics/"."{$comic_id}".".png"; // Build URL
    if(@file_get_contents($comic_url)){ // If the file exists.
        echo "HTML FOR COMIC"; // Return the html
    }
}
?>

You could also do a include for the information about the comic.

PHP Code:

<?php
$comic_id = $_GET['id']; // Get variable from URL
if(is_numeric($comic_id)){ // Good check for SQL Injections
    $comic_url = "comics/"."{$comic_id}".".inc.php"; // Build URL
    if(@include($comic_url)){ // If the details an be included.
        echo "HTML FOR COMIC"; // Return the html
    } else { // There was a server error because the file can't be included.
        echo "Oh noes! That comic does not exist.";
    } 
} else { // Comic is not a number. Log IP here, could be an attempted hack.
echo "Sorry, there was a problem loading the comic."; 
}
?>

The next/prev buttons are just a matter of checking something is there.

PHP Code:

<?php
$comic_id = $_GET['id']; // Get variable from URL
if(is_numeric($comic_id)){ // Good check for SQL Injections
    $comic_url = "comics/"."{$comic_id}".".inc.php"; // Build URL
    if(@include($comic_url)){ // If the details an be included.
        echo "HTML FOR COMIC"; // Return the html
    } else { // There was a server error because the file can't be included.
        echo "Oh noes! That comic does not exist.";
    } 

    // Now lets do to those next/prev buttons.
    $comic_url_prev = "comics/"."{$comic_id - 1}".".inc.php"; // Build New URL
    if(@file_get_contents($comic_url_prev)){
        echo "Prev"; // Make Link
    } else {
        echo "Prev"; // Don't Make Link
    }
    $comic_url_next = "comics/"."{$comic_id + 1}".".inc.php"; // Build New URL
    if(@file_get_contents($comic_url_prev)){
        echo "Next"; // Make link
    } else {
        echo "Next"; // Don't Make Link
    }

} else { // Comic is not a number. Log IP here, could be an attempted hack.
    echo "Sorry, there was a problem loading the comic."; 
}
?>

I'm not amazing at AJAX *uses javascript), but maybe editing the html (inner.html.value="new html for comic" you could reload the comic being shown + it's vars.
