Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ike_slideshow
Hi Ike, wondering if you had any time yet to look into the small issue I had with image categories? Don’t want to be pushy, just asking…I love this plugin!

The characters aren’t set up to be easily changed in this release (
/me adds todo), but you can manually change them without much trouble. The pertinent HTML blocks for the backward/forward links are on lines 141 and 143 of the installed plugin code – replace‹and›, respectively, with whatever you wish.
And along the lines of what jstubbs mentioned – it does seem that the style reference isn’t loading quite correctly. Changing the reference from
styles.cssto../styles.css(orhttp://www.tmcphoto.com/cms/styles.css; might be safer) should fix the problem.
GREAT! Thanks so much :-D

I was wondering whether you might consider adding two options in a future update…
- auto-play
- displaying a simple, linked image list in the form of 1|2|3|4|5| etc. as an alternative to the current paginating/controls option
?

that would be really nice.
especially the linked image list thing seems useful.
great plugin!

If you don’t mind using tiny thumbnails instead of a numbered image list there’s another plugin that can do that: rss_thumbpop
Just enable the jpop option.
Regarding auto-play you might be interested in aro_slideshow

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ike_slideshow
Thanks, Martin.
While thumbnails will likely be added in the next release, I doubt auto-play will actually be implemented. The premise of the plugin is simple functionality, not flashy presentation. There are other plugins that accomplish slideshows with flare (aro_slideshow, as Martin pointed out).
jstubbs: I haven’t forgotten… heh. That’s next on my list.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ike_slideshow
thanks for the suggestions Martin, and for the update information Ikebowen.
Ikebowen, if you say
The premise of the plugin is simple functionality…
Any plans to implement that linked image list?
Seems to be the most straightforward way to display information and get there imo.
If there are no such plans, i have not managed to find any gallery plugin that has this feature,
any hints are greatly appreciated.

Yep, twas what I mean by ‘thumbnails’; apologies for not making that more clear. That’ll be in the next release as well.
To clarify: ‘simple functionality’ merely means that I don’t want this plugin to become… focused on style of presentation, if you will. That said, versatility has been a goal since modes were defined. :) I’ll keep developing this plugin, no worries, and feature requests are still encouraged.
Cheers -

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ike_slideshow
As is, is there a way to use the ike_slideshow javascript function to show to a specific image, instead of just moving forward and back?
Thanks!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ike_slideshow
Given that movement is step-based (e.g. step by -1 or 1 for backwards or forwards), I’m afraid not. A request has been made for small image thumbnails linking to images within the slideshow – is this along the lines of what you are thinking?

Thanks for the quick reply.
That’s exactly it. I already modified the plugin to show the thumbnails, but the navigation for displaying the specific image is where I’m stuck.
Thanks, again.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ike_slideshow
The easiest thing to do would, I think, be to assign each li within div.ike_slideshow an id reflecting the image id – image 123 might be contained within li#ike-slideshow-image-123. Clicking on thumbnail 123 could call ike_slideshow(hash,123), and because 123!=-1&&123!=1 (would break for image #1, yes), all li’s are set to display:none; with #ike-slideshow-image-123 being set to display:block.
… Hopefully that made sense. I’ll be building something along those lines into the next release, but hopefully it’ll be cleaner than the above. :)
