[plugin] [ORPHAN] ike_slideshow

I agree, this is a wonderful plugin :-)

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

?

Cheers Martin

Thanks so much for writing this plugin; it’s exactly what I need. Couple questions:

How do i change the look of the control buttons? Can I change it to say prev/next? Or can I use images?

Also, I can’t figure out why the images are centered in the div on my page, and not top-aligned like I’d like them to be. I’ve played around with the css (mine and yours) and can’t seem to get it to work … any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Your style sheet is not getting loaded as far as I can see, tmcdaily. Check the path for styles.css in your page, or perhaps you forgot to include the slideshow css?

tmcdaily · 2007-10-13 21:52:43

i appended the ike_slideshow styles to my existing styles.css page. i was able to successfully change the font size of the controls, and to right align the controls (the original ike_slideshow had them center aligned). i just don’t/can’t see where to change the characters for the controls, or why the image isn’t aligning properly in my div#photo.

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 &lsaquo; and &rsaquo;, 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.css to ../styles.css (or http://www.tmcphoto.com/cms/styles.css; might be safer) should fix the problem.

Thanks, I had been wondering how to achieve that, too.

Cheers Martin

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!

GREAT! Thanks so much :-D

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

Cheers Martin

ikebowen · 2007-10-22 04:33:33

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.

freischwimmen · 2007-10-22 11:36:55

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.

ikebowen · 2007-10-22 14:16:50

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 -

freischwimmen · 2007-10-22 14:25:19

that`s great news, thank you Ikebowen.
looking forward to the new features, please keep up the good work!

gdtroiano · 2007-10-31 14:26:49

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!
