Brief Description:
Simple snippet that displays a slideshow generated from images stored in a folder.

I installed the snippet and it doesn’t do anything. Can you help me out? Thanks!

you upload to the correct place the js inclued?

Woops! Thanks, yeah I forgot to link the js.

In the mean-time, I found a nice little plug and play one that does neat fading in both IE and FF: http://maserati.websitewelcome.com/~melody/index.php?id=43 (this one doesn’t auto-load from a directory though, which is kinda a pain).

Love having this little snippets! Thanks again!

Hi,

In my case it is also not working. I placed the slides.js in the js folder.
Detail: my Modx is not running from the root in IIS but in a subfolder called test. So
I modified the path var in the snippet pointing to "/test/assets/images/$folder". This
is also done for the slides.js file location, modified it in the snippet to "/test/assets/js/slides.js".

The snippet call is: [[SimpleSlideShow?&folder=`slideshow` &interval=`5`]]

If I look in the outputted html page, I don’t see any reference to this snippet...

I am kinda stuck right now, have no idea where to look now...

Is there anybody who has a working SimpleSlideShow or can point me in the right direction to
solve this ofcourse little problem ?

Tnx.
Robbie

you should atleast see one image if there is none then you may have another problem like the path to your images.

ehh,

strugling a bit with that include statement, How should that look?

<%@ include file="/scripts/cssinclude.js" %> ?

Thanks.

Hey there,

just noticed that IE 7 (Win XP) has a problem when the snippet is called without the optional &width and &height parameters. If so, in the source it reads Only thing I see then in IE is a pixel where a whole picture should be. It seems that IE 7 makes a 0 or maybe a 1 out of the empty strings.

While searching for the error, I also noticed that the [tt]src[/tt] attribute in the initial [tt]img[/tt] tag has an extra space within the quotation marks. However, this caused no error.

Thx for this slight snippet
Martin

I made this snippet a while ago maybe I wil make a better version that also works nice in FF and would not make errors

No problem, it works just the way I wanted it to. I only thought that others could be interested in what i found out.
