Hi, I have some questions regarding to slideshow.

I'm pretty happy with the Slideshow using JQuery Cycle. However, I could not figure out how to use Full Screen during slideshow. Any idea?

It seems that the flowplayer does support full-screen. However, it seems that it does not allow selecting the length of intervals. And the loading wheel is annoying (at least my wife cannot tolerate it). Moreover, it's based on flash, cannot be used in mobile devices.

So my questions are: (1) is it possible to enter full screen mode with JQuery Cycle? If so, how? (2) If JQuery Cycle simply does not support full-screen (that would be unfortunate), is that possible to allow both JQuery Cycle and FlowPlayer and let user select one of them for slideshow? Right now, in the option for slideshow, it only allows one of them, but not both. (3) Is there any other JS based slideshow plugins that support full-screen?

Thanks!

1) I did not see anything in the cycle options regarding full screen mode. You can, of course, set the slide size, though. Options are described here http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/options.html

2) which slideshow handler is determined by the `slideshow_mode` option. Your them can make changes to that option based on some user perference. Most likely you would use a user cookie to set his preference and set the `slideshow_mode` with a non-persistent change (`setOption('slideshow_mode', $mode, false)`)

3) There are a plethora of js based slideshows--do a WEB search. We suggest you try to stick with ones that are jQuery based to avoid possible script confilcts that could break other functionality.

Thanks! What would be the recommended ZenPhoto full-screen slideshow solution for devices like iPad, which does not support flash?

I did a Google search on "full screen jquery slideshow" and got a whole page of results. (Kind of like response #3 above)

A real full screen is only possible with flash. So if you are using the official slideshow plugin you would have to use the flowplayer flash mode to achieve that. A pure jQuery/javascript cannot do that

But on a mobile browser you probably mean a "browser window" filling slideshow. That probably would be possible but will require a custom slideshow as (as always) not all mobile devices have the same screensize. If just for iPad try setting the slide image size to match its fixed size and disable all controls via the options and/or possible via CSS (not all has options).
