Re: Preview: SlideshowPro Module
6 September 2009 at 10:56pm
Hi No Art, sorry can't attach. I have noticed there is a problem now on the latest build of SS 2.3.3 and the latest updates to DataObjectManager/ImageGallery from Uncle Cheese, seem the XML feed has become corrupted and other things like the thumbnail size slider is banjaxed :o( Great! Maybe this is why? Any ideas Uncle Cheese?
Still works with 2.3.2 though. Just name the SSP component my_ssp and create an actions layer in the timeline and on the first frame put the following script
my_ssp.xmlFilePath = ImagesPath;
(Make sure your xmlFilePath value in the component Inspector is blank!)

Hi UncleCheese. Just discovered this thread. You're a really busy man, working on all these awesome modules. Kudos!
I know, the youtube video is quite dated, but have you been able to solve the safari issue? I might help you with that one, because I just recently developed a Flex/Flash site with SilverStripe as backend and also had some problems with safari.. maybe even the same you were facing. -

Thanks, Banal,
This module is very much the neglected step child of all my modules. It needs a lot of work and I am just don't have the technical chops with SSP to be investing a lot of time into it. AFAIK, everything is working well right now. I just pushed a site into production using each album as a different page, and I plan to push a tutorial into the documentation soon.
While I have, you, can you take a look at the EventCalendar thread in here and see if you can help out with a character encoding issue? I'm puzzled.

Is there a current release of this that works? I purchased the SlideShow Pro Standalone and tried to integrate that per Willr's instructions in a different post, but it didn't work.
I've read thru all the posts here and added the DataObjectManager, SWFUploadeder, ImageGallery, and what I think is the current SlideShowPro module. The Albums work, the photos work, but nothing is displaying on my page.
I saw the YouTube video about this module and noticed that my XMLFilePath is not correct. I don't even know what it should be, but right now it's pointing to http://localhost/modules/slideshow1/xml, which is obviously wrong. But I don't know how to change it.
Bod posted instructions about opening up the .fla file that contains the Slideshow Pro component. I'm not sure what that means - am I to take the slideshowpro.swf file from the Slideshow Pro Standalone folder?
Any help would be much appreciated. Just a little confused here. If someone else has that .fla file and is willing to share, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks!

No, it doesn't work with the standalone. You have to create a swf file using the SSP component and set the xml file path property as given in on the SWF tab in the CMS. Should be /your-slideshow/xml

Thanks for the quick reply Uncle Cheese. What is the SSP component?

Uncle Cheese, so I realized that the SSP component is the .mxp extension I get when I purchase the SlideShow Pro for Flash product. So I've done, followed your instructions, and now I have a working Slideshow Pro page, and working tabs in the CMS - all is great - thanks for the help!
But now I'm wanting to not just have select pages that are Slideshow pages, I want to take that code and place a slideshow in another page - for example, the HomePage page type. How can I do this?
Also, how can I make it so I have two slideshows showing up on the same page?
Again - thank you for your time answering our questions and developing this module in the first place. Very much appreciated!

Hi Valorinbattle,
If you want to save yourself from creating separate swf files for each page, just follow my tip above, here it is again,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
Still works with 2.3.4. Just name the SSP component my_ssp and create an actions layer in the timeline in Flash - on the first frame put the following scriptmy_ssp.xmlFilePath = ImagesPath;
NB: Make sure your xmlFilePath value in the component Inspector xmlFilePath is blank! Now you can use the same swf file on each page and it will only take the xml data from the page it is in.
- make sure you have the latest version of the module - if in doubt use the svn package
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- */If however, you wish to show the same slides that is on say the homepage also in the about us section without having to re-set up the album again, do one of two things, either in the CMS control panel right click and choose duplicate page and rename it to about us, this should copy everything inc the album set up - the alternative is to code the actionscript above to point to the home page xml file path, for example instead of the above code on the actions layer in the swf you would put something like this
my_ssp.xmlFilePath = "http://localhost/homepage/xml";
Two very different approaches but both should work.
