I installed SimpleSlideShow and all is well till I added more than one instance to my page. Now the first instance is showing all the folders contents and the other two instances are showing one static photo from their respected folders.
How can I make more than one instance work?

I changed in the snippet file:
$path = "assets/images/rotate/$folder/";

and an example snippet call is:
[!SimpleSlideShow?&folder=`rotate_cabo` &interval=`5` &width=`267` &height=`200`!]

Thanks..

I made a brand new version that uses mootoools to generate nice slide show that also works in FF that can be called as often as you like.

I will post this when I have time to add some explenaition. or pm me if you want the raw files now

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

Hi there!

I had trouble getting this to work to and if turns out it was just something SO SIMPLE!

in the example it says to call:

[!SimpleSlideSHow?&folder=`slide` &interval=`5` &width=`600` &height=`400`!]

but! what you need to make sure of so that it works it that "SimpleSlideSHow?" and "&folder" has a space between! so:

[!SimpleSlideSHow? &folder=`slide` &interval=`5` &width=`600` &height=`400`!]

That was the only thing that wasn’t working for me!
I hope this helps someone.

Is it possible to link each image within the slide show to a different website? If so, how can I do this?

thats not possible atm, it would take some more javascript and some extra info (link adres) to be used that is not simple anymore (atleast not for me)

I once did this using ditto with appropriate templates. Completely without SimpleSlideShow, just using the JS code from it.

Hi,
Got it working easily... Thanks for a simple snippet!
How hard would it be to make the images fade transition?
Anyy suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks!!!
