Hi francybello there does seem to be a issue in IE what it is I cant say...
I also checked with FF and Chrome and it looks like the description is missing again I cannot say what is wrong...

Please ensure that you have uploaded all files to the server this includes the pngfix.htc trans.gif all folders with the correct file...
Just to check that to see if I could get the same issues I have rebuilt your page myself and if seems to be working fine in these three browsers I have uploaded this for you to try and see....I will look again tomorrow as it is late here now 01:29 am and let you know more

Hi soory I didnt get back sooner really busy....ok I have taken a look again and used the XHTML for the doctype and yes it is causing a issue...

for now I can only suggest tha you use doctype DTD HTML 4.01 I will need to maybe rebuild the extension again in the newer verion of the Ext Builder see if that sorts this out, but it may not as I have just tried inserting all images, css, javascript into WB7.1 using the HTML Tool and using the File Publisher Plus and it still gives the same error ie the missing thumbnails when used with the XHTML doctype I will try to look into this in the next day or two and get back to you I can only appoligise for this...as mention I would use doctype DTD HTML 4 for now...

Update I have found the issue it seems WB is removing parts of the HTML in the code namely <h3> </h3> <p> </p> when used in conjunction with doctype XHTML I know that I am going to get told that it is not a issue with WB and WB does not remove or alter the code but it is....

If Support/Pablo reads this I hope that he can give his input on this....

Hi I posted this issue as a possible bug with WB as the HTML was getting modified the reply from support can be read here
viewtopic.php?t=32153
Although I still believe it is a issue I will leave it...

who am I to complain so for the extension to work you will need to use HTML as it is not possible to use with XHTML sorry.....

Fix has been applied to allow the extension to be used with both doctypes new download available....

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Tue Sep 07, 2010 7:10 pm

Request to BF

I had not d/l'd this update and now find that the link is blocked for public download.
Can you please let me have a temp link?

Regards

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 1:25 pm

The download is set to "Private" at the moment while I work at updating all my extensions to the latest builder and any scripts used, then they will be available via the "Extension Manager" to download...I dont want to provide any temporary links for it at the moment...sorry

amrajadhyaksha · Post by **amrajadhyaksha** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 1:55 pm

Fine, will look forward to doing that.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 5:34 pm

Extension has now been updated ***18/11/11***

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 12:02 pm

1) setting the size of the slideshow: it looks like default is 500 x 388. Can I changes this? I need 632 x 240.

No sorry the default size is the only size that can be used

2) Is it possible to include a link in the text?

This may be poosible as it was asked before I will take a look again and see what can be done.

***Update 19/12/12***

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:29 am

@ jbabt there was no new features added to the extension, the extension was only updated to the latest version of the Extension Builder 4.0.1, this was due to some users saying that they had the extension installed, and when they checked for updates via the extension manager it showed there was a update available, but on trying to update it said successful, but it still showed there was a update even though they had just did the update...hope this clears what you thought was a update to the extension when there was actually none, sorry.... Regarding formating of the font, I decided not to make variable to this. because if you use a larger font size then the width of the text area cannot be changed to accomidate this, the size of the area is preset as is the required size for images, this is why it say that all the images that you use must be 500x388 anything larger then the image will brak out of the container, the only change I could make to the font is the font family ie the name, maybe the weight, but I dont think I will make a change to the font size due to what I have already mentioned.

amrajadhyaksha · Post by **amrajadhyaksha** » Wed Dec 19, 2012 3:14 am

Thanks, BF, for acting on this issue.
This happens with some other extensions too in updates, but perhaps users are not too bothered about it, as when an update actually happens, it is announced in the forum.

developer · Post by **developer** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:01 pm

This seems to work very well for my application except for a couple of seemingly simple issues. The images can't all be the same size in my application, so if it is set for the largest one, everything works as expected but I get overlays when a smaller image is placed after a larger one.

The black background for the main images is something that I would like to be able to change as well.

I don't know if you (BF) are actively working on this now or not. I think if the background is overwritten with the user specified color before the next image is presented, then it might solve both problems.

If you are not actively developing, is the source available? I could fiddle with it and the extension builder to try and get it to work.

Thanks in advance.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:39 pm

Yes I am still active, and if an updated can be made, or is possible then I always try to add it.

The images can't all be the same size in my application,

This has been asked before, and I have answered sorry, as far as this goes all images must be the same size. I have even asked the original author in the scripts forum regarding this (As others) and requests have fallen on deaf ears. Regarding making the source available, I am sorry this is not possible. But I will take any suggestions under consideration. You can always download the original script yourself, then build as an extension if you wish if you can improve on this.

developer · Post by **developer** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:54 pm

I had searched but I didn't find this brought up before, so I must have missed that.

The only problem with that is the original source won't have the benefits of all the fixes and mods you added, which would defeat the purpose. I'm just looking for a way to take something that is 98%-workable and make it 100%. This particular application is pure volunteer and there is a plethora of images of varying sizes. I am sure you can appreciate that I can't go back and scale and pad them all with backgrounds, etc. so they fit and look right.

If you do ever decide to go back into your code, perhaps you might consider adding those mods.

Thanks.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Tue Jul 23, 2013 12:28 am

@ developer Ok I have been looking at this for you. It has come back to me that a "Good" friend here (Jordan) did provide a solution to this. If memory serves me, you will be able to add any image, of any size, even if you only set the container to say 500x300. I will dig through a pen drive for this implement and test before release, be patient I have other things to do and sort first, but I will let you know...

developer · Post by **developer** » Tue Jul 23, 2013 1:38 am

I can't find a beer mug smiley, so a grin will have to do...

I started to look at the extension builder out of curiosity and I guess all it really is doing via the gui is supplying the parms to the framework that you tell it to insert, and where. One day I will hopefully have time to play with it and pay it forward with something useful.

My problem is that I just wasted so much time with Joomla (and I mean a lot of time), and WB is an order of magnitude beyond that CMS in terms of productivity, flexibility and ease of use. I'm just sorry it took me this long to find it.

The site I am working on is my personal community site and it is so outdated. All the browser and security changes over the past few years have taken their toll along with links aging away on target sites and since it is not "real" coding work, it comes last. In the history section alone, I have tons of newspaper pics, colorized pics and other images I've put together and they are all just sitting in folders, waiting to be put online.

Your extension will really help. It is the cleanest implementation of that type of gallery that I have found and I think I've tried them all over the past few days.

Thanks, let me know if you need me to beta it if/when, and I owe you a beer!

developer · Post by **developer** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 5:34 pm

Have you had a chance to look at the code?

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 7:00 pm

Sorry about this big apoligises. Yes I got round to this, the extra new code does allow you to add any image what ever its size and it will get displayed in the container without it getting overlapped. There is only a small issue and it is the thumbnail navigation arrow on the right, it moves in 1 or 2 pixels so that it not flush with the container above. I would hate to release and get questions regarding this as to some they could live with it but to others it not what they want. I can release but on the understanding that this is there. Again apoligises.

developer · Post by **developer** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 11:00 pm

I can certainly give it a shot if you don't mind. Thanks!

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 11:30 pm

Extension is now updated
Animated JavaScript Slideshow ***11/09/13***

developer · Post by **developer** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 2:15 am

Works nicely. Thanks.

Three suggestions for a future version...

1. In the text fields, if possible, you might want to leave them blank, as most all of them will change and if they don't, then they won't have to be explicitly changed.

2. Auto-generated thumbnail. Ah, that would be nice. (edit:) I see that it will use the original picture for the thumbnail, but I imagine that will be scaling it down. With a large slideshow, this could take some time to load, whereas small versions would load faster.

3. Multi-picture add. Select a slew of pictures to add, and then go through the list and add text as needed.

But, if you were never to touch it again, it is quite nice as-is and I thank you for your work & update!

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sat Sep 14, 2013 5:09 pm

I believe all the gallery extensions work this way they all use the same image for both. As mentioned you can make your own thumbnails externally in Photpshop or your choice of editor. You could do it in WB by making a blank page just for the purpose of editing (resizing) by doing this.
1. Add a large image that you wish to use as the main to the page.
2. Now resize to 125x75 resample then save as a jpg.
3. Repeat this for each image you wish to use in the extension.
Please note that it is best to use jpg image optimised to as best resolution as possible rather than the use of png as the output size of png tends to be large. By doing this your images will load faster. This is not a fault of the extension or WB it is well known that any images used for the net should be optimised for use to help render faster when loading in the browser.

developer · Post by **developer** » Sat Jan 04, 2014 4:21 pm

When you go to the extension manager and ask for the gallery extensions, you should see it. Double-check and reply. I have the file, but I think you should be able to download it unless something has recently changed.

developer · Post by **developer** » Sun Jan 05, 2014 1:15 pm

Great!

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:10 am

Will it work in 7?

No, the extension is for WYSIWYG Web Builder 9 users only. Please note that WB7 is no longer supported and that I cannot offer this extension for any earlier versions anymore sorry.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 9:35 pm

I can answer you here. Nothing went wrong in the upgrade, the reason why you cannot get this and many other of my extensions is this/they are no longer avaiable to download. I apoligise that this may cause you and many other issues with your projects and not opening due to the extension missing. At this moment I dont know if I can/will release it again I will look at the extension later tonight and will see if it can be recompiled to work in WB10 if not I will post here the results....

***UPDATE***
I have recompiled the extension and will reupload to the Extension Manager asap

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Nov 07, 2014 12:17 pm

Gino I have recompiled the extension and it is ready, I need to contact Support so that I can set up a new account to share it from theExtension Manager, once I have this you will be able to install it from the extension Manager.

if someone else offers it to you then note that I cannot offer any help with the extension due to it not coming from myself....
