Hello!

I want to make a slideshow.
For test i try this example:

[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1,
img=|http://drupal.org/themes/bluebeach/logos/drupal.org.png|drupal.org|Drupal|The ultimate CMS. Download it now!|Drupal|,
img=|http://www.mysql.com/common/logos/mysql_100x52-64.gif|http://www.mysql.com|MySQL|Free and reliable SQL server and client.|_self|, dir=|files/|yes||Generic Photos|Arent they great?||]

1. How i can use the images from the file /files/images or /files/images/slideshow? Must i use other files?

2. I like to include all images from a directory. Which file i can use, and where is it?

3. What does the commands slideshow, rotate,... do, and what other options exists? Are other commands exists?

Thanks so much!
Robert

Hi Robert,

I saw your post...I wrote a blog post on picture galleries. Its a little old now, but might be helpful to you. Here's the link:

I'm working on an update of this, but its going to be a little bit since I'm playing with some Java stuff...and we know how Java can take some time :-)

Hello!

I don't find a resolution of this problem!

I have two pictures of a directory:

[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1 height=400, width=400,
img=|http://firstfloor.org/ur/images/fdr/DSC7452.jpg|yes||Generic Photos|Arent they great?||, img=|http://firstfloor.org/ur/images/fdr/auwiesen.jpg|yes||Generic Photos|Arent they great?||]

This works already. But when I use this parent directory, no picture is shown:

[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1, dir=|http://firstfloor.org/ur/images/fdr/|yes||Generic Photos|Arent they great?||]

And my second problem: My own pictures are in this file: /files/images/ , and I can't find this fotos to include it.

Thanks Robert

Hi Robert,

Check my post for the Slideshow Creator section. Here's the command that I use to show images in a directory:

[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1 height=400, width=400, dir=|sites/default/files/pictures/|yes||Generic Photos|Arent they great?||]

Note that my dir is a path and not a URL. I can try a URL later today or tonight and see if that works for me., but I don't think it will.

This directory I'm using is located under my drupal's main file directory as specified in the Drupal properties stuff. I don't think I needed to do anything else. Another thing to check is your apache logs to see if you are getting any errors.

Hello!

I don't want use a URL path, but I only want try a slide show with directory, after i want change to my file.

I use this line, are this correct? Or must I change "default" with my synonym?

[slideshow: 2, rotate=2, blend=1, dir=|sites/default/files/images|yes||Generic Photos|Arent they great?||]

In this directory are more than 20 pictures, but when i look the slide show, there is shown nothing.

Robert

Where is your height and width parameters? You must have those and they must match the configuration in the module settings.

The path to your image files must also be correct and available to the drupal server.
