[Plugin: Portfolio Slideshow] No autoplay?

Well, I did find a way to fix it on my end: hack the portfolio_slideshow.php file to change the timeout from zero to a large number, like 5000.

Yup, that’s the best way to do it for now. It’s just a wrapper for the jQuery Cycle plugin, so anything that works with Cycle should work here.

I plan to add this feature in a future version of the plugin, probably something like [portfolio_slideshow autoplay=”true”]

Hey Dalton and Crunch,

great plugin, just what I needed!

I did the autoplay-atttribute myself, you can see my mods here:
https://pastie.org/973767

Basically, my mod inserts an inline JS code that calls the timeout-attribute and sets it to 5000, granted of course that the shortcode had an attribute of “autoplay” with value “yes”.
[portfolio_slideshow autoplay=”yes”]

There’s probably a lot of better ways to do this, but it does what I needed it to do, so I thought I’d share this.

Thanks again!

Rino, thanks for that. The code looks good, I will test it out and try to roll that into the plugin sometimes this week. It is something I have wanted to add.

Do you have a website or anything you would like me to link to in the readme file?

Cheers,
Dalton

Rino & Crunch = The autoplay feature has been added into the plugin. The format for doing this is [portfolio_slideshow timeout=5000]

Where timeout is the delay, in milliseconds, before it advances to the next slide. If you leave this code out, the standard manual advance slideshow will be used.

It’s important to note that this only works on single posts and pages, not on the index page. This is a limitation of my knowledge of jQuery; I found that having more than one slideshow on a page causes some kind of conflict and I’m not quite able to figure it out yet. (I think I’m close… probably in the next version). But try it anyway, I still think it’s an improvement.

Dalton,
Sorry, I just want to confirm, you said this doesn’t work on a front page? I’m trying to use it on my front page, but it only shows one picutre, regardless of having timeout=5000 in the shortcode, and the pause, prev, and next links are all just “#”.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I think what you’re seeing might be a bug. I am trying to figure it out. In the meantime, can you try the previous version of the plugin? (0.3.7)

Dalton

Hi Chris,
The latest version of the plugin should fix that bug. Please let me know if you still see the problem.

Hello

What a nice and easy plugin to use ! Thanks !

I have a message alert saying I should move my htaccess file from one folder to the other. But in the ‘from’ folder, there is no htaccess file, and the ‘to’ folder, there is already one !
So well I am quite confused about what I should do…

If you may advice !

Hi Oaz,
My plugin doesn’t reference the .htaccess file in any way and I don’t think it could cause that message. Can you provide a screenshot?

Most likely it’s another plugin though.

Cheers,
Dalton
