Basic Slideshow: With Flash enabled, can't turn Shuffle off

  • Running NGG 2.0.7

    The default JQUERY slideshow works fine (shows images in order), but Flash slideshow shuffles the order of the images randomly, even with Shuffle toggled off (and using the same gallery as the successful JQUERY test).

    I have tried it with the default theme, and all other plugins deactivated (and cleared cache); nothing worked. I can’t get the Flash slideshow to play images in order.

    Apart from the Shuffle issue, the Flash slideshow appears to work perfectly.

    I initially installed NGG 2.0.0, then updated to 2.0.7; this problem existed with both. I have not modified NGG in any way after installation and activation.

    Alas, it looks like I’m going to have to look for another slideshow plugin. It’s a shame, as I really like the easy of use of this plugin, but getting the slides to play in order is NOT negotiable for my needs.

    Same here with nextgen version 2.0.30

    Shuffle is there, but is only ON and cannot be set OFF. When set to OFF the shuffle stays ON on the site.

    I also want sequential galley slideshow.

    Nextgen slideshow only plays random, to fix (workaround) this, change the following:

    File: index.php
    Location: /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/slideshow/

    and change this rule:
    $swfobject->add_flashvars( 'shuffle', $flash_shuffle, 'false', 'bool');

    in to:
    $swfobject->add_flashvars( 'shuffle', $flash_shuffle, 'true', 'bool');

    This solved my slideshow!
    Even the switch ‘Shuffle’ in nextgen settings does what it should do!
    Randomize when ‘Yes’, sequence when ‘No’ ??

    Regards, DG.

    Sweet! This is just what I needed.

    Thanks!

    I would, but I don’t seem to be able to change the status since I didn’t start this topic.
