[slideshow2] Slideshow2
Thumbnail picture

An imagefader with multiple effects based on mootools

Quote from authors website:Slideshow is a javascript class for Mootools 1.2 to stream and animate the presentation of images on your website. Slideshow is the result of many trials in code attempting to create a javascript class that was lightweight, unobtrusive, a snap to setup (but also highly configurable), extendable and - built using the javascript framework with the best effects - visually very impressive. Slideshow began as a side project by Aeron Glemann, and is now open source with an MIT-style license.

Features

  • A detailed overview of functions and demo can be found here:
    http://www.electricprism.com/aeron/slideshow/
  • If javascript is deactived an image is being showed but no thumbnails
  • CSS and Javascripts can be customized via TYPOlight Templates for each Slideshow

 

How to use the Slideshow

  • Create a new slideshow via Content > Slideshow2
  • At first you have to setup the basics for the slideshow which are: size, effects and buttons
  • Then you continue to add the images. You can select one file or folder per element.
  • When you are finished with that you can integrate the slideshow either as module, insert-tag {{slideshow2::ID}} or directly as content element.
  • The CHMOD of FolderTL_ROOT/plugins/slideshow2 has to be set to 0755 on some servers if the slideshow is not working correctly.

     

    General notes

    • If you change CSS or JS files from the plugins folder you have to delete or create new .gz files in order to make changes work.
    • Styling of elements when having multiple Slideshows may not work because the script can not read cascaded styles (#show .captions)
    • If you integrate the slideshow as insert-tag the html sourcecode is not valid anymore due the CSS and JS integration.
    • The startimage should only be used if images have the same dimensions.
