Module Update: Slideshow 2.1.0

Hi again

First of all: thanks for the update - I guess I really pushed your buttons! lol

2nd - Bug ... maybe lol When clicking the "view slideshow" link it still doesn't work with .flvs for me. Check here:

http://noeliaychristoph.com/galleries/main.php?g2_itemId=737

Use link on the left and cooliris will load only thumbs for images.

If the gallery has only .flvs and no images it will come up with the "the feed has no items" error message. You can see this by just looking here:

http://noeliaychristoph.com/galleries/

The landing page has only movie items and cooliris subsequently doesn't find any thumbs to display...

Click the wall icon on the thumbs themselves and it does work. As discussed before in the other thread.

Did I miss sth? Is this maybe sth you didn't actually address?

Cheers

Chris

Sweeeeet! I hadn't uninstalled, just removed the directory on the FTP and then uploaded and upgraded. Sorry about that. Very nice, works a charm now! This is very cool, just about the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!

Now to get my gallery in shape with the new module, some embedded walls and a ton of new flvs - ain't life fun when things work

Thanks so much for all the great work and avice - truly appreciated!

Chris

Niice, that is really cool!

Works great!

One thing I found, I have to check whether it's to do with my preferences: In IE8 on Vista (shudder) with no plugin installed I just get:

Javascript required to view this content.

I do have script enabled in the security settings...

Cheers

Chris

Lol, tell me about it - I am a web designer by trade so I need Vista/IE to meet my customers requirements ... meaning: try to find the crappiest and/or most outdated combo of anything and make everything work perfectly. One of them has me optimising for Netscape 9 and Safari on Windows. wtf???? lol

I don't think anyone would ever notice - IE/Vista users can't possible be cool enough to use cooliris ... :D

Chris

Definitely not, it's 32bit. I just got the laptop a couple of months ago, it came with Vista Premium and free Windows 7 upgrade, I certainly did not buy Vista by choice, nor do I use IE. I just ran it out of curiosity and came across the bug. It's basically out of the box, has hardly any software installed nor has it had any usage, I just have it sit here to do bug testing for customer sites. Sorry for causing the headache...

Chris

you at least have flash installed for that browser?

Hi again,

I've been playing around with this extensively now for the last week or so - great plugin, really is!

One thing I've noticed is that in IE7 and IE8 (XP) when it defaults to embedded wall because the plugin is not installed then it doesn't load the full size images. Is this what you meant by:

When you lock onto an image it just zooms the thumbnail and/or loads it again, but never the full image.

It also has other problems, e.g. in Firefox I can create an embedded wall using your MediaRSS, the URLs your plugin spits out and my gallery image size settings like so:

http://noeliaychristoph.com/fotos/wip.html

Fantastic in Firefox! IE doesn't even load the thumbs the dumb #@$%&. lthough that's prolly sth to do with cooliris rather than your plugin I would assume?

I'm sure you're aware, but since no-one mentioned it I thought I would

Cheers, and thanks for the great work

Chris

***EDIT*** in case anyone clicks on my link, my gallery has just gone completely pear shaped. Rebuilding thumbs froze and left it in tatters. I'm getting it all restored but it's likely that for a for a few hours/days there'll be nothing to look at...

Hm, I don't know, do you het one if I edit? I may have edited the post.

Ok, so you do actually see the thumbs load in IE7/8 when you go to this page?

http://noeliaychristoph.com/fotos/wip.html

And it does load crisp and sharp 2.5MB images in IE8/7 when you look at this embedded wall

http://noeliaychristoph.com/fotos/main.php?g2_view=slideshow.Slideshow&g2_itemId=25262&g2_return=%2Ffotos%2Fmain.php%3Fg2_itemId%3D25262

Then it's all good, must be my IE which is buggered then. I have 3 PCs, 2 XP and 1 Vista laptop. On the laptop I get the script error, on the other 2 I get the aforementioned.

I've stopped messing around in any case, so I won't bug you anymore Thanks again for the great software - had some great fun with it and will have in the future. But for now I'm off to smugmug.com and have someone else worry about bugs in my databases, conversions, accounts, whatever, restoring, php timeouts and god knows what ... I need to get back to my real life! lol

Cheers

Chris

You're probably right - sth funky somewhere. In Chrome it doesn't work either, only FF seems to respond correctly - grrrrrr.... I'll find what it is and I'll post here in case someone else gets the same.

Cheers

Those only apply to the embeddable wall and not the browser extension.
but you can add them to the flashVars array line ~29 like:

    var flashvars = {ldelim}
        feed: "{$Slideshow.embeddableMediaRssUrl}",
        backgroundAlpha: 0.3,
        backgroundImage: "http://www.yoursite.com/images/my_cooliris_bg_image.png",
    {rdelim};

There are no item actions for a dynamic album - you cannot edit an album that does not exist album.

as for your second question

but I have not tried it with the updated module.

Sounds like you either have some caching issues or your theme has an older style slideshow link which calls piclens lite directly.
Clear your cache in gallery admin -> maintenance and also your browser's cache
And try the matrix theme to see if its without these strange issues.

I know I've posted this info in more than one place in these forums...
but I could not find one at the moment so from memory...
you can place a link in your theme templates with:

{if $theme.pageType == 'album'}
<div class="buttonViewSlideshow">
    <a href="{g->url arg1="view=slideshow.Slideshow" arg2="itemId=`$theme.item.id`"
         forceFullUrl=true forceDirect=true}">{g->text text="View Slideshow"}</a>
</div>
{/if}
{if $theme.pageType == 'photo'}
<div class="buttonViewSlideshow">
    <a href="{g->url arg1="view=slideshow.Slideshow" arg2="itemId=`$theme.parent.id`"
        forceFullUrl=true forceDirect=true}">{g->text text="View Slideshow"}</a>
</div>
{/if}

when follow "Get Embed Code" link, the 'width' is returned in pixels.
it should be in percents (like in the template), because if I paste this somewhere, the way others will se this will depend of my display resolution when generating the code.

This module is very beautiful and easy to run, thank you. I uninstalled the CoolIris to get a slideshow instead of the wall, is it possible to loop it or have fullscreen slideshow like the old cooliris slideshow?

Thanks for your reply. In the previous version of your Slideshow module, with the CoolIris slideshow, which I am using now at www.connietreen.com/gallery
I would like the slideshow to loop by default. Any ideas?

The 2.1.0 release is awesome!!!

Just curious, is there a way to have the photos ordered in rows instead of in columns?

In other words I'd like to use the right-arrow key to navigate photos in order rather than the down-arrow key.

Thanks!
