Can this also be used for displaying random images (or latest images) from the gallery? I'm running the gallery in a site and want to add a block with the latest images (running in a slideshow) to the frontpage of this site.

You can set the slideshow to display images sorted at random, by using the imagesorting method, either in your configuration file:

... or directly in the html page ...

If you are going to use it to display "latest images", you will have to maintain a folder with duplicates of your latest images which you frequently manage.

I am using a very small version (160x120) of the slideshow as a page component on my website.

I have 2 questions about it:
1. The question mark (?) in the right top corner looks very big now. Is there a way to make the ? smaller, or (re)move it?

2. Each time when I open my site with Internet Explorer, I got a message about blocked scripts of active X, and the slideshow is not visible. When I accept the active X scripts, the slideshow will appear. What can I do to solve it?

1. Yes, it can be removed/changed. I have forwarded instructions in a separate email.

2. May I take a look at the page where you have integrated it? Are you using the SWFobject javascript integration? This method we integrated since version 17 to overcome IE7's new activex limitations. Read about it here: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/

This article is indeed very helpful.

I have one question: Is it possible to keep the 'maincontrols' stationary and not move around based on the size of an image?

Lastly, any further suggestions to improve the look of my slideshow?

Thanks!

1. I have received the PM. Thank you.

2. For the page I am using a script which is generated by Dreamweaver 8: http://www.globetrotternet.nl/Scripts/A ... Content.js
For the slideshow I am using the script of Imagevue: http://www.globetrotternet.nl/Scripts/s ... _source.js

The link to the page is: http://www.globetrotternet.nl/

EDIT:

I think I have solved the problem:
I am using a counter on my site. My index.htm is a frameset, that will open the mainpage and the counter page (teller.htm). So far so good.

But: I made another frameset that will open the mainpage and a dummy counter page (teller1.htm). So I can test my site, and the counter will not be increased.
I started this frameset page from my harddisk. And Internet Explorer does not like that.

In normal use, there is no problem.

Yes this is possible, set: maincontrolsalign = B

Maybe you want to make the buttons smaller?

Thanks.

Can i include this "small window" inside a flash instead of an html?

how do i call the swf? just loadMovie? how do i sent extra parameters?

Hi
My website is designed with the smarty template engine (http://smarty.php.net/). I'd like to integrate the slideshow as a pagecomponent.

But i'm a little confused where to place the files. F.e.: My website www.apochroma.ch has several themes, like:

www.apochroma.ch/bildgalerie
Which files should be exactly in this directorie and wich files could be linked?
Because in each directory there exists already an index.php wich includes the content from a templates directory.

Thanks for help

You dont need to use the index.php files if you are to integrate the slideshow as a pagecomponent. Also, you should keep the entire Imagevue upload folder separate from your other site files. You can simply use the globalpath parameter to refer the Imagevue folder.

Hi all!

I'm new to the imagevue tool and am also not much of a programmer/scripter. I've been trying to put a page component slideshow on an internet portfolio website I've been working on for myself.

http://kylehug.com

It's very lacking in content currently so for testing purposes I just have the slide show pointing to one of the demo folders that came with imagevue.

As far as I know I have everything set up correctly but none of the images are showing up, and I can't figure out why. I've tried checking permissions on the image folder and editing the path setting in the ss_pagecomponent.ini file among other things but nothing seems to make a difference. I know it is something with this page component because I can load the full slideshow.swf directly and everything works.

Any help/ideas would be great. Thanks in advance

images display here ... you fixed it?
