Hi there, really loving the Slideshow Manager, works a treat. Can anyone give me any pointers in how to customise it though....i don't want the html caption to pop up at the bottom of each slide. I also don't want the series of dots (allowing the user to select specific images/slides) to appear underneath the slideshow but either overlay the image in the bottom right hand corner, or remove completely. Any ideas?

I will go one step in the other direction. Who do I change the default image size to be something other than 600x400?

Topic started a while ago, but I'll answer anyway in case someone else is struggling with the same problem. I haven't figured out how to remove the caption.
To remove the series of dots: Edit nivo_headTpl chunk and change true to false. "controlNav: true, // 1,2,3... navigation"
To change the image size: Define the image size when you create a new album.
Does anyone know how to remove the caption in all or some slides?

@tsavage: i've been trying to remove the captions and hitting the same issue at you. i can remove the caption until the first iteration then it adds it back. I quickly went through the js to see where this was generating from but did not get it isolated before address a different issue.

I found this quick and easy (dirty) work-around to remove captions:
go to Chunks "nivo_slidePaneTpl"
in there delete the titel attribute that it is like this:
<img src="[[+src]]" alt="[[+title]]" title="" />
Result: No more captions (as they seem to be generated by the title attribute)
Does anyone already know how to change the default image size of albums? Would be great it is a hassle to always chagne the image size manually...

Thanks, I tried this and works on slide 1.
However slides 2 to 4 still shows the title/description.
It's far easier to use a MIGX gallery, and output the images with a chunk tpl to fit whatever gallery slider/carousel you decide to use. For example, I have a site built with Bootstrap and it uses the default Bootstrap slider - in fact the template is based on this
http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/modern-business/
The home page has a MIGX TV for the slider images, and the output is handled with the getImageList snippet using this chunk tpl:
<div class="item[[+class]]">
<div class="fill" style="background-image:url('[[+image]]');"></div>
<div class="carousel-caption">
<h2>[[+title]]</h2>
</div>
</div>
And of course if you don't want a caption, just don't have the title field in the MIGX TV, and remove that div from the chunk tpl.

MODX > Dashboard > Elements > Chunks > SlideshowManager > nivo_headTpl > Chunk code (html): > line 92 > changed from
captionOpacity: 0.8, // Universal caption opacity
to
captionOpacity: 0.0, // Universal caption opacity
No difference in making title/description caption transparent.
