Oh, and I know Xmas is done, but any thoughts about “title” and “caption” display attributes?

Yes, the new version will have support for these. I will look into supporting parent categories as well.

Re: aro_slideshow

Hi again. One request for this plugin (waiting for the mootools version as I have mootools already in use) – is it possible that a slideshow can be created with thumbnails with a “rel” attribute so we can use it with Lightbox?

I have Slimbox in use now, great script by Christophe Beyls. It uses mootools.

Thanks!

Re: aro_slideshow

Cheers

Re: aro_slideshow

Hi. I finally have the updated javascript for the slideshow. I thought I would put it up online while I work on the TXP plugin to see if it meets the needs of what everyone has been asking for. Also, to get a head start on debugging it – it will be easier creating the plugin is I know the script itself works. I guess the JS is about 90% of the work involved since the plugin just feeds the script images and captions. So, please take a look and post feedback if it is OK or if it is lacking something here or there…

>> Slideshow is here <<

Re: aro_slideshow

@rloaderro, this looks quite impressive.

Both, the new effects and the adaption to the v1 codebase must have taken quite some work.
For the moment I just checked out your demo, but I’ll sure try that out soon.

regards, marios

Re: aro_slideshow

Thanks for the kind words! I was very surprised by the response all around. I posted it in the #mootools channel on freenode.net and this is what one of the mootools developers had to say:

Inviz: rloaderro, may i say some suggestions on code?
rloaderro: please!
Inviz: 1) you dont have to $() new Element. it is by default extended
ibo: oh noes. you’ve opened up the flood gates
Inviz ;D
Inviz: 2) well, chaining functions is the thing of a taste, but I’d use them
Inviz: and in general i want to say the code is very good

Only 2 suggestions, so I was very happy ;)

BTW someone posted the script on DIGG. If you have an account please digg it! And tell your friends ;) Thanks again!!

Hi everyone,
i’m new to this forum and new to all the nice mootools…

i ‘ve already posted on the other forum, sorry now for dubble posting…

is it possible to get a downloadable demo-site with all links/ images working!? this would be great!
i love your slideshow a lot!!!!! i think it is the best of web right now! congratulations! But, as i said before, i’m a newbie… trying out now for hours to configure the slideshow. without succes! :-( i just need a really easy thing: fading images with arrows to control them…

i ‘ve already tried to download the iframes of those nice examples to get the html code. no succes. :-(

could someone please help me out, maybe by writing down the whole html code + the needed css or a simple site in a zip!?

thanks in advance!!!! MAKO

Re: aro_slideshow

@mako, for basic mootools usage, take a look at the documentation
(which is quite well done)

regards, marios

This forum is really only for specific questions having to do with the slideshow javascript in relation to the slideshow plugin for Textpattern (which I will hopefully finish this weekend). It is no fault of yours that you posted here, it was unclear on my website and I have since labeled things more clearly. I worry lot’s of questions about Javascript here will probably get me in trouble quickly ;)

In regard to your question – which I have answered already on the Mootools forum – please check out the updated docs on the website. If you are new to Javascript and Mootools I would recommend reading absolutely everything, as it is all important. You can also try asking questions during the week in #mootools on irc.freenode.net (chat). Probably live conversations with someone working with this for the first time will help me produce easier to read and more effective documentation.

You might also like to check out Textpattern CMS – with the plugin it will be easy to dynamically integrate Slideshow with image content on your website without having to muck with the javascript at all ;)
