a different slideshow per entry/page

[krebra]

is it possible to create different slide show (different set of photos) for each entry or page?
as i can see problem is that all photos are in the same directory. if there will be more than one slideshow directory and a parameter along with [[ slideshow ]] then it could be possible.

That shouldn't be a problem. I would be grateful if you could test the change I propose below.

In the file extensions/slideshow/widget_slideshow.php, look for "function smarty_slideshow" and change the beginning to the following:

Code: Select all

function smarty_slideshow($params) {
    global $PIVOTX, $slideshow_config;

    $params = clean_params($params);
    if (isset($params['folder'])) {
        $foldername = $params['folder'];
    } else {
        $foldername = getDefault($PIVOTX['config']->get('slideshow_folder'), $slideshow_config['slideshow_folder']);
    }

    $width = getDefault($PIVOTX['config']->get('slideshow_width'), $slideshow_config['slideshow_width']);
    $height = getDefault($PIVOTX['config']->get('slideshow_height'), $slideshow_config['slideshow_height']);
    $limit = getDefault($PIVOTX['config']->get('slideshow_limit'), $slideshow_config['slideshow_limit']);
    $order = getDefault($PIVOTX['config']->get('slideshow_orderby'), $slideshow_config['slideshow_orderby']);
    $thickbox = $PIVOTX['config']->get('slideshow_thickbox');


Then you should be able to use

Code: Select all

[[ slideshow folder=foldername ]]

where the folder "foldername" is located in the image folder.

yep it works. thanks so much.

Perfect! I was looking for this as well. One problem, though; the images don't open in thickbox.

You aren't telling what version of PivotX you are using so I can't help you. Seriously, providing as much info as possible makes it so much easier to help - saving my time so I can help more people or code more ...

I suggest updating to 2.0.2 or 2.1.0 beta4 - see http://pivotx.net/files/

[amorph]

Sorry, using v 2.1.0 beta3.

[hansfn]

Thx. 2.1.0 beta 3 is quite new, but could you please try beta 4 anyway (where the change I proposed in the post above is included)? Remember to visit the extension settings to select Thickbox as pop-up. If not, I would at least need an URL to your site (and that you enabled debugging in PivotX).

[amorph]

Thanks! With beta 4 the popups also work. Now I'm going to try centering the thing on the page, and It'll be all good.

To increase the awesomeness of this solution, it would be nice to have an uploader per page/entry, kinda like in the gallery extension.

I was tyring to get this working, and of course it is no problem to adapt the uploader used in the gallery extension to get this to work, but the files are always uploaded to images/date. It would be nice (for this purpose) to have them uploaded to images/slideshows/entry-title or something like that, but I can't figure out how to to do it.

Hans, can you point me in the right direction here?

Another issue: When I try combining portrait-oriented and landscape-oriented images in the same slideshow I can't find a way to display both properly. As far as I can tell the slideshow relies on every picture having similar dimensions, and if not they are stretched. Ideally the aspect ratio should be kept as it is, but then I'd have to edit every portrait-oriented image and insert whitespace on each side, which is tedious. Is there another way?
