I found many people discussing Slideshow, so it's just a try.I don't know if this is a good solution that using meta tag to redirect the page.but it's the best way I can find. need no javascripts,ajax,lightbox.

by now, I have to use two link for "play" and "stop". hopefully someone can give an idea to use only one link that can do two actions.

a Loop option will be added in the future.

have fun.

do you have a demo?

jdleung

05-24-2006, 04:34 PM

sorry Joe[y]

my site will be out till the end of June at least.
you can test it on your site,it won't take too much and won't make too bad.;)
you can check the codes,few lines only.

I have tested the addon for times on local pc.it works fine.

btw,any suggestion will be appreciated. whether works well or not, just let me know.

Thanks.

all right. check it out. i beautified the urls a bit and now it's running on a trial basis at least at http://photos.jlspurling.com/

bugs/features:

- looping is required as an option. right now all that happens when it gets back to the first image posted is it redirects me to a 404. would be good if you could at least chose where it sends you for the last image.

- possibly implement an image preloader with the addon. for me it's not really a problem as i'm currently on super fast broadband but this would be a great feature nonetheless.

by the way - good work. i think meta refresh is the best way - much simpler and just as effective as all the ajax solutions etc discussed.

you got 404? in the 1.0 version,without loop it only keeps on refreshing the image even if it goes to the first image posted(what I said "the last")

raminia, the title had been changed. but it displays the original in thread list.

would you do me a favor?

Thanks.

yeah! updated. Only one link!
one link acts as "play" and "stop" functions.

it's simple,but I had thought it for such a long time.

cheer!

cheers!

probably to do with me playing around with the urls. if it works normally then it's not a problem - i'll just modify my own version so it works with my urls.

testing it out now, works great! ...until it gets to the end (first post). then i get the "coming soon! nothing to show here!" screen. didn't alter the addon in any significant way, so i don't think it's isolated to joe[y]'s case.

other than that i think it works pretty well!

edit:
i should add that i have the wraparound addon installed (clicking "next" from the latest photo brings you to the first post, clicking "previous" from the first post brings you to the latest photo). don't know if that makes a difference, but just in case...

I check your site. at the end the image id goes to "showimage=59",but I found no such image in archive.

yes, as of today i only have until #58 posted--error is probably due to a conflict with the wraparound addon i mentioned above. will uninstall it and let you know how it works out. thanks!

jdleung

05-26-2006, 03:41 AM

btw, since you place the "play" & "stop" link at bottome. it' a little hard to catch the link when I want to stop, especially when the image is a portrait size. if you set a fast speed, image will refresh again when vistor is going down to catch the "stop" link, and the position of the link changed according to the image height.

ranko

05-26-2006, 03:54 AM

btw, since you place the "play" & "stop" link at bottom...
yes you are absolutely right, am still working that out. thanks for the input! :)

i tried turning the slideshow loop off ("$loop = 0;" is this correct?) but then i get the "don't do that!" 404 after the first image. i am convinced the wraparound addon is the culprit, as the slideshow seems to be looping perfectly well over at namaste's site. is it one or the other, then? or would it be easy enough to somehow integrate the two? :D

you must had uploaded an image for the future.
and I forgot to limit the addon to search images after today.:rolleyes:

it will be updated soon.

Thanks.

it seems pp also displays future image when input "index.php" without "showimage=id" behind.

Joe[y]

it shouldn't do that with just index.php. are you logged into you admin or something?

thanks.

open slideshow.php
around line 27

$delay_time = 2; //set how long the image stays(seconds)
$loop = 0; //set to "1" plays the slideshow in loop, set to "0" for no loop
$geos_cat = 0; //set to "1" if you're using geos_show_category addon

Jdleung,

Really great slideshow that I am very happy to use. Thank you very much for sharing this.

I would love to see picture transition with fade effect.
Any plan to implement this to your addon in the future?

Thank you,
Nathalie

jdleung

10-22-2006, 04:24 PM

Nathalie,

addon slideshow use html meta tag redirect the page, it's small, fast and easy installation since it need no flash, javascript, ajax or any other scripts except php.

more effect more size. so I have no such plan by now.
if anyone could suggestion a good idea on this, I may try.

thanks.

if you install a fade-in effect on your page, then the slideshow runs with fade-in.

my blog is working with that ;)

i attempted to use the slideshow as a new page -such as slideshow_template.html- when i do this the page loads and the tag <IMAGE_TITLE> shows instead of the image itself.

is this possible?

jdleung

03-17-2007, 05:42 AM

sorry, the slideshow addon was tested in image_template.html only.

Hey.. excellent addon, but unfortunately it is not working on my blog.
The tags are rendered as it is (when I see the page source - I see <SLIDESHOW_META> and other tags) and I am not seeing any "play slide show" on my blog, though I am quite sure I followed the installation instructions correctly.
I was checking on the forum posts and no one seem to have got any problems with this addon. I am not sure, why it is failing in my case :-(

Any help, is greatly appreciated :-)

love the addon, works great

quick question, how do i run it like on your page, and have link be an image instead of the word (start/stop slideshow)

i'd like to have the link be a little play button, and then sqitch over to a stop button once the slideshow is started

find $slideshow_play_link in code

replace "Play Slideshow" with your PLAY BUTTON IMAGE "<img scr='xxx.gif'>"

replace "Stop Slideshow" with your STOP BUTTON IMAGE "<img scr='xxx.gif'>"

DONE.

I was trying this addon, and got 404 not exist error because I was using a friendly URL from the world in 35mm template. Like /pixelpost/p/index.php does not exist.

How can I make it work with the friendly URL?

Many thanks!
