jQuery Slide Show v2***07/10/2013***

[tommy888]

I have reinstal the JQuery Slide Show for the latest and in preview the size is fine, but on the server it doesn't fit. What's wrong.

Thanx

Ok this is because there is now a border surrounding the images. The border doesnt display in the design area/mode, it is only when it is pre viewed or after you have uploded to your server that it will display. I can only suggest that you reposition any objects below the slideshow a couple of pixels so that they do not sit ontop of the border as they are now. I will try and add a fix for this so that it will display the order before preview or uploaded.

[tommy888]

Great thanks. Look forward to it. Excellent job BaconFries and useful slider.

Hi BaconFries,

I've notced that the slide show maintains the right size both hight and with in a preview mode. When on a server it comes back to a predifined fixed size.

[BaconFries]

Hi if possible please provide a url so that I can view the page with the extension workiong or not. I have tried the extension using images with height of 300 and width of 500 and it seems to display as it is ment. Note that all images must be the same size so if you have some that are say 700x400 and then 500x 300 and yu set the height to 500x300 then it will only display at this height it will not respond in size to the various images sizes used. This has always been the case.

Hi BaconFries,

I use a size 550 X 350. In preview mode the size fits perfectly but on serever it is reduced and covers some areas it shouldn't be. If It is possible I would also appreciate if you could make an option without a frame. By the way excellent work worth recommendation.

Ok I have viewed the pages in question and I have to ask are you using the extension more than once?. If so then this will be the issue, this is because there is only one instance of the css file used in the extension. What this means is there will only be one Height and Width no matter how many times used.

So if on one page you set it to use say 500x300 and then on another you set it to 550x350 the this will override the first. I have also viewed the css file used that is on your server and looking at it the height and width used do not match the size of the images used see the image below.

As you can see the images used are 500x300 but the height and width in the css doesnt match as they are 490px in width and 370px in height. So if you are using more than one instance of the extension then this will explain why the sizes will vary and display as they are.

I will look at a way to see if the border can be an option, but if it cant I will leave as it is as I do not want to be supporting two versions of the same extension at onetime.

Oh and I believe Congratulations are in order today "Happy Birthday" wishing I was 35 again....

Thanx Bacon Fries,

Indeed I use more than one instance of JQ Slide Show and images aren't the size I declare in the extension.
To conclude, I can only use one size for all slideshows and photos should match the declared size. Is that true?

[tommy888]

Thank you for your wishes Bacon Fries.

[BaconFries]

Yes when using more than once each instance the image must all have the same height and width.

[tommy888]

It sems to me that WB9 remember the very last settings of JQ slideshow. I have altered some data in show.css and I am capable of resizing pictures. Unfortunately, The caption still remains the smaller size. Border can be also removed implementing changes in the file.

Another question refers to Java Animated Slide Show. I'm thinking of using it on the main page instead of JQ v2. The problem is similar. The picture with a caption is of a proper size but thumbnails menu below is smaller.

BAcon Fries what should I do? I guess Every slide should have a unique ID in CSS. How to do this? Is it possible?

I'd like to use both JQ SLideshow v2 and Animated Java Slideshow in my project.

THanx for your advice.

[tommy888]

Do the pictures necessarily have to be the same size in all slideshows? Both slide shows are capable of stretching the pictures to the declared size of the slide show. What's the best way to fix the issue and keep going with my project

[BaconFries]

You can use mixed images with any size if you wish, say 500x300, 750x350 in the extension. But because for the purpose you set the container size to say 700x350 then all images will be held in this, meaning that images smaller than this size may gets distorted and stretched to fit the container. As mentioned in another post by yourself you want "Professionalism" (No pointer on hover) so I would take it you want the same "Professionalism" to the look of images displayed so to achieve this is where you should only use images of the same height and width.
On another note I cannot assist you on how to modify the javascript or the css of the extension as this is not the purpose of what the extension is for. If you are unhappy as to how the extension does not work for your personal needs, then I would suggest that you do not use it anymore and find an external script that can do everything that you require for your needs. Maybe you should suggest that the extension is of no use and should be removed or should I remove it....Now if there is any other of my extensions that do not meets your requirements please let me know, as I will remove them also as they seem not worthy to be used.

jQuery Slide Show v2***07/10/2013***

[tommy888]

Thanks Bacon Fries.

Hi,

I have a website http://www.steve-davison.co.uk that uses the Jquery Slide Show v2 (website built in WB8) on the home page, this all works fine in Firefox and Google Chrome, however, when using Internet Explorer 8 the slide images are shown below the window border - what am I doing wrong ?

Steve D

[BaconFries]

I have viewed the page with the extension on and it looks like many of all the images that you have used in the extension have invalid naming. The image naming contains spaces in them, when naming images they must not contain spaces or use any special characters or other non alpha numeric characters. To give you idea to what you can and cant use. anything on your keyboard that is not a picture or symbol.
These ARE alphanumeric: qwertyuiopoasdfghjklzxcvbnm1234567890
These are NOT alphanumeric: !@#$%^&*()_+<>?,./;':" or ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○◙

I did also test the extension myself and it works for me tested in IE9/10, saying this I am using WB9 and the latest version of the extension which is only available for WB9 but again this should not make any difference as all files used are the same. Please try renaming your images and try again as not all browsers will display the same and repost here.

[Steve D]

Hi,

OK, I've been through the images on that page only (I will have to modify the other pages when I can) and all are now web compatible names (hopefully) and uploaded to the web http://www.steve-davison.co.uk/index.html, I also corrected a dual Text ID and Shape ID, however, I still have the same problem when viewing in IE8 or 9, still works in Firefox and Google Chrome.

[BaconFries]

Can I ask you to please upload a copy of the extension that you are using, as the current version I have has been updated and does not give me any issues, gaving the version of the extension will allow me to test. thanks

Also I have to ask have you modified any of the css or javascripts manually outside of the program as this have a impact on how the extension works and displays.

[Steve D]

Hi,

The only modification I did to the css file was change the border width (padding) from 8 to 2, everything else has not been altered - I did try using it without any alteration and the same problem occurs in IE.

I tried attaching the JQuery Slide Show extension (version 1.1.0.1, 12/27/2013) to this post, however, the file was not allowed - how do I upload the extension ?

Many thanks

Steve D

[BaconFries]

You can upload the file in a zip file to your server then provide a url for me to download. I only ask so I can check the extension in my copy of WB. Please note I do not recommend that make any changes to any of the files generated by the extension as I cannot offer any assitance on this if it breaks how the extension works. I would also ask that you remove the Noright click script and the Google Analystics code just to ensure that they are not conflicting with the extension.
Example of how to write the url

[Steve D]

Hi,

OK the extension file is available from here:http://www.steve.davison.co.uk

I tried removing the 'right click' javascript - still does not work in IE

I did try the JQuery Slide Show with caption extension (V 1.0.0) - this does work in IE8, but does not have the buttons that show the number of slides or where in the series which I think is quite a handy feature on v2.

Downloaded and installed. Drag&Drop to page open the extensions properties add images (Copies of your images) Preview in IE9/10 extension displays as it should (No code manually modified).
I dont have access to PC with IE8 so cant test. I have also noticed that you are using the following "Emulate IE8" why use this when you are trying to view with IE8?. I would try the following remove the "Emulate IE8" remove extension from page, reinstall extension, add the images and preview. If all is ok then I would publish as is (No modified code). As already mentioned I cannot offer assistance with the extension if you manually modify any of the CSS/javascript yourself as this defeats the purpose of what the extension is for.

[Steve D]

Hi,

Firstly thanks for all your help - I think I'm slowly learning a few things about making a website with WB - regards 'Emulate IE' took me a while to find that, but seems like a WB default value so I left it alone...

However, I noticed that my page HTML was set to 'XHTML 1.0 Transitional' - but when I changed this to 'HTML5' the extension worked perfectly in IE8 without any other modifications, since I know very little about how HTML works I have no idea what the difference is between XHTML 1.0 and HTML5, but since the extension works with HML5 I will change the website over to that (hopefully that is a sensible thing to do)...?

Once again thanks for your help and for making the great extension available.

Best regards

Steve D
