Re: aro_slideshow

Tried everything i can think of, and am sure I’m setting it up properly. I continue to get a javascript error “this.b has no properties”. Any ideas

I bet this is a browser thing – can you tell me your Browser/Version/OS and I will try to duplicate it here? Also – I haven’t tried this, so I don’t know if it’s a problem – is the tag being used inside a link? For example:

<code><txp:permlink><txp:aro_slideshow /></txp_permlink></code>

It shouldn’t, no. And definitely not if you are calling it: <txp:aro_slideshow js="2" />

Re: aro_slideshow

Brilliant, working perfectly now. Thank you.

A suggestion if you decide to add to it: A custom field to specify an image category would be useful.

hi Lee! I added a category attribute to the plugin – you can now use it independantly of the article form (in a page template or misc form for example) with this new attribute! Let me know if there are any problems…

Re: aro_slideshow

Works, Yay! Thanks for the great work.

Category attribute is great. I’m starting to get excited about possibilities for this plugin.

  • Idea: Why not use a different tag altogether for the article-less version, then have it accept categories category from the url.
  • Idea2: How about attributes to display title and caption fields?

Cool!

Re: aro_slideshow

Sorry, if this is just too stupid to respond to. I just installed the plugin. Now I am in the ‘write’ tab in content. How can I get the slideshow to work in a new article?

Thanks,

The slideshow tag must be called from within a page or form template (presentation > page or presentation > form). If it will be article-dependant you must use it in the form that displays the article content — if you have not defined any custom forms it will be the one named default. Simply add the slideshow tag: <txp:aro_slideshow js="2" /> — somewhere in the form. But that’s not all — in the article itself, in the field named article_image (under advanced options) you must enter a list of image ID’s to display. To find the image ID (and this is somewhat un-intuitive) go to the tab content > images and click on the link named textpattern next to the image in the image list that you would like to appear in the slideshow. A window should popup with some text like: <txp:image id="10" /> — that 10 is the image ID. So what you need to do is add a list of image ID’s, separated by commas, to that article_image field — something like: 10,11,12. And the slideshow should appear now. I haven’t mentioned it anywhere else, but to work as intended, all the images must be the same size!

If you would like to use the slideshow in a page template — in other words it will not be associated with any one article — you must associate it with an image category. In the content > organize tab you must create some image categories. Then in the content > images tab you must associate some of your images with those categories. Then, from within a page or form template, you call the slideshow tag as follows: <txp:aro_slideshow category="your_image_category_name_here" js="2" /> — and that’s it!

Good luck!
