Hi All,

I am trying to get JQuery Slideshow working on a website.

I just can't seem to get it to work, the images are not rotating, merely tile over one another, no effects.

Here is my code as it is now.

Homepage.php - Javascript requirements

	function init() { 
	parent::init(); 
	Requirements::Javascript("mysite/javascript/slideshow.js");
	Requirements::Javascript("mysite/javascript/jquery.js");
	Requirements::customScript(" 
			$(document).ready(function() {
			$('#slideshow').slideshow({
				timeout: 2000,
				type: 'random',
				pauselink: 'pause1',
				pausecallback: function(self){
					self.html('Play')
				},
				playcallback: function(self){
					self.html('Pause');
				}
			});
			$('#slideshow2').slideshow({
				timeout: 2000,
				type: 'sequence',
				pauselink: 'pause2'
			});
	        });
	");
	}

Homepage.ss - The Slideshow HTML


<div id="slideshow"> 
                 
   <a href="1"><img src="/../../../assets/darksideofthemoon.jpg" alt="" /></a> 
   <a href="2"><img src="/../../../assets/absolution.jpg" alt="" /></a> 
   <a href="3"><img src="/../../../assets/acertaintrigger.jpg" alt="" /></a> 
   <a href="4"><img src="/../../../assets/liberationtransmission.jpg" alt="" /></a> 
   <a href="5"><img src="/../../../assets/americanidiot.jpg" alt="" /></a>

</div>

I'm still a little clueless when it come to using Javascript with Silverstripe. Am I doing this right? If not, can anyone show me the exact way to implement this?

Thanks

Yeah, thats the exact thing I want to do. The problem is I can't get it working.

I need to know if my code is in the right place....

Can anyone please help? I'm obviously missing something simple
