Tried to follow your instructions… no luck – but where did you put the downloaded files "mod_rokslideshow" ?
1. download rokslide snippit/files from modx
2. create chunks:
a. slidetpl – see code in rokslide.txt file
b. Rokslide – see code in rokslide.txt file
3. create a template variable called “slideimage” (make sure of two things: 1. set the imput type to “image” 2. under “Template Access” check off the name(s) of the templates that you want to be able to access this newly-created template variable (check all if you like)
4. create a new resource/webpage – then, create new documents underneath this resource/webpage (create new children) – when you create these document you will “attach” images to them by selecting an appropriate image from the new template variable selector at the bottom of the “General” section of the “Edit Resource” pages (create as many image/pages as you like)
5. go back to the Rokslide chunk and look for the Ditto call and change the start ID to one which corresponds with the top-level directory which you placed all of your image/pages into
6. create a new directory under /assets/ called /slides
a. place the CSS and JS files (which you downloaded from Modx) here
b. link to these files by placing these into the <head>of your site:
c. <link href="slides/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
d. <script type="text/javascript" src="slides/mootools-release-1.11.js"></script>
e. <script type="text/javascript" src="slides/rokslideshow.js"></script>
7. place the {{Rokslide}} on the page that you want the slideshow to appear
8. enjoy!
thnx for this great addon.
1 general question.
It’s not possible to use sIFR for the titles right? Because the text is generated via javascript..
Instead of this showing images, can it be used to show videos? Could you possibly then make where each video when clicked went to the page on your site where the video was affiliated?
Lets say you had a blog that talked about videos. Could there be a slide show of the videos that when clicked on would take the user to the affiliated blog post about that video?
Is there anything out there like that?
thanks in advance
Where must we put the downloaded file (after unzip it).
