Slideshows...

[kd_121]

Hi Pekka and everyone else...

What do you think about a slideshow feature for EE? While I'm not the biggest fan of slideshows (would rather thru the images at my own speed), I think (as well as a few friends) it would be a great option to have.

I have searched this board, and nothing came up, so it seems no one has discussed it yet.

Seems it could be done very simply with the page redirect code linked to the next photo.





function goNow() {
document.location=_l;
}
function setUp() {
setTimeout("goNow()",_time);// 1 seconds
}
var _l = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/gallery/photolinkhere";
var _time = 4000;// msecs.
onLoad='setUp()';



A button/link could start it on the the main index, exhibition index as well as individual photo pages.
You could also have a few settings adjustable for it by the user or in the admin:
1.) time var.
2.) normal view or blank screen.
3.) random order

What does everyone think?

Best,
Kd

Any progress on the slideshow issue??

I feel the addition of a slideshow would be a good thing.
I first downloaded the program, set up a gallery, viewed the photos.

I was feeling very proud of myself after doing this, however after showing my gallery to my wife, the first thing she said was "Is there a slideshow?"

I didnt feel to great after that

That is a good idea. I will see how it can be coded in. Thanks.
