hi developers

anyone in here done that already?? pls let me know

thanks all

hi developers

i did re-install the latest release of " nightly build "

the slideshow has improved may be 1 % on IE7 and IE6

hope u can get over this problem soon.

thanks all

If you use the "flash" personality of the slideshow it works well in IE

hi sbillard

what is the "flash" personality ???

thanks

The slideshow has options in the admin. You can choose between the jQuery Javascript/ajax version and a flash version using Flow player.

Look at the `mode` option for the slideshow in admin/plugin options. It uses the Flowplayer for the slideshow. That seems to work for me on IE7

hi developers

i did and it says : flash for flash based slideshow (requires Flowplayer.)

"Flowplayer" is it already instaled in " nightly build " ???

i did set it up on " flash " but still not working and when i choose slideshow for the images nothing shows .

thanks

hi developers

any way that i can have the " slideshow / controls showing all the time instead of only " mouse on image " ???

thanks

You have to activate flow player on the plugins page first...
You can change the slideshow.css of your theme.

hi acrylian

so to make the " slideshow / controls " permanent above the image is from the css??

how about the mouse over the image ?? what will happen to this ??

i can not get it acrylian

regards

hi acrylian

flower player are checked in the admin/plugin page is this enough ??

Sorry, you are right, the positioning of the controls is CSS but the hover is javascript/ajax. That part of the code is
`$('#slideshow').hover(

function() { $('#controls').fadeIn(); },

function() { $('#controls').fadeOut(); }

);`
in the `zp-core/plugins/slideshow.php` file. I have adapted that code from the site of the jQuery Cycle plugin which runs the jQuery slideshow mode. See there about it's options: http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/

Feel free to change as you like. But keep in mind that every update will probably overwrite your changes if you don't backup them. I will not change anything about that now.

Flowplayer needs to be activated and the slideshow mode set to flash.

hi acrylian

so lets say i want to make the " slideshow / controls " permanent

what should i change in this :

$('#slideshow').hover(
function() { $('#controls').fadeIn(); },
function() { $('#controls').fadeOut(); }
);

should i remeve it from the : zp-core/plugins/slideshow.php ??

Follow the link to the jQuery Cycle plugin I posted above, there you find everything about the options. I have just taken that part from there.

hi acrylian

http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/

i could not get any answer from this link about my question.

because all i need is in the : slideshow/nightly

the control appers only when the mouse over the image than u can click next prev pause or what ever

what i am trying to do is making this controll always showing instead of only the mouse over the image for it to show.

visitors may get confused and they may say how can i go next or previous ??? how they can figure it out that they have to put the mouse over the image so they can see the control

I have understood what you want. As I said above I have adapted the code from the page I posted above (exactly from here http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/hover.html). I liked the idea that the controls do not "disturb" watching the images and just fade in if needed. I am used to that from a lot of movie programs. You could simply write a sentence "Hover over image for controls". Otherwise you will probably hover over the image sometime and see the controls.

Anyway, have you tried the simplest that comes to mind and removed the code in question? This would be what I would try first...

hi acrylian
did u mean delete this part from : zp-core/plugins/slideshow.php ???

$('#slideshow').hover(
function() { $('#controls').fadeIn(); },
function() { $('#controls').fadeOut(); }
);

if no, this sentence "Hover over image for controls". where it should be than ??

in other words how the above code should be writting?

Yes I mean that code.

Write the sentence wherever you like on the theme's slideshow.php above or below the printslidesshow for example would be the easiest.

hi acrylian

sorry about that mess

i am not realy good when it comes to codes.

now, i thing this is the code who control the " slide show control button"

could u wtite it again for me pls in the way that the " slide show control button" stay permenant and not fade away.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#pause').click(function() { $('#slides').cycle('pause'); return false; });
$('#play').click(function() { $('#slides').cycle('resume'); return false; });

$('#slideshow').hover(
function() { $('#controls').fadeIn(); },
function() { $('#controls').fadeOut(); }
);

$('#slides').cycle({
fx: '<?php echo getOption("slideshow_effect"); ?>',
speed: <?php echo getOption("slideshow_speed"); ?>,
timeout: <?php echo getOption("slideshow_timeout"); ?>,
next: '#next',
prev: '#prev',
delay: 2000,
startingSlide: <?php echo $imagenumber; ?>
});
});
</script>
