Hi,

If you want your slideshow to only transition manually, just set the “Timeout” (option #3) to 0.

Is that what you meant? Let me know if that works.

This seems to work pretty well. I might change the default to ‘0’ on the container size, so it could be more easily made responsive.

In the meantime, I’ve added a jQuery function that re-creates the slideshow when the window size changes, so if someone resizes their browsers, the images would look correct. That will make it into the next version of the plugin.

Let me know if you have any other thoughts on the plugin.

If you find it useful and think it’s good, go ahead and give it a review on www.remarpro.com!

Oh, and revert to the default again, to make sure the height is in auto.

I’m sorry, I wrote height and I meant width. Try that.

If that doesn’t work. Go into your CSS and add this:

.gallery_container_jsjss .gallery img {
width: auto !important;
}

that’s not an optimal solution but it might work.

Can you try:

1. Reverting to the default settings

2. Setting the height (only the height) to 500

Let me know if that works

I’m sorry, but I can’t find a gallery in any of those pages. Can you send a specific url and make sure 1. the plugin is activated and 2. there’s a gallery in that page.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

The plugin should calculate the size of your images automatically if you’ve set a width and a height. Can you try to send a url to your site? It didn’t go through. I think this is a one-off kind of thing, so i would probably need to see how it’s working.

I would try reverting to the default settings and seeing if that works.

Different image size (no matter how different) should not be a problem, but maybe I’m wrong.

Let me know

Hi,

First, thanks for trying to mess around with the plugin and seeing there’s a better way to make it work.

Would it be possible to include some screenshots of how it looks?

I’ve spent about an hour trying to figure this out and here’s the conclusion I came to:

The reason the gallery container div needs a height is because of it needs a height in order to calculate the animation of the container as the images change. The images are position absolute, so the div needs a height in order to be displayed. If you want to see for yourself, try commenting this line in the plugin (jsj-gallery-slideshow.php):

if(sh > 1) jQuery(this).parent().clearQueue().animate({ height: sh }, <?php echo $input_value; ?> ); // Line 366

Anyways, if you think I’m wrong (that’s quite possible) and there’s actually a solution to this, see if you can mess around with the plugin and get it to work. I’d be glad to include the new code in the plugin if the solution is good and works. Doing it with the inspector won’t really work, cause there’s a lot of stuff it does when the plugin is being loaded in order to calculate how to display it correctly.

All that being said, I know that this plugin is not responsive at all, and that’s something that might make it to the next version or something. Cycle 2 (the jquery library that this plugin is built on) is much better at responsive.

Cheers!

No response. Marking as resolved. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you.

No response. Marking as resolved. (Because I obviously have OCD )

Marking as resolved. Mte90, let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you and we can re-open this.

Sounds good! Let me know what you find.

If you load it in landscape, do you have any problems? (without switching the view…)

I think this would be more of a setting that you would turn on/off because you might want to use the plugin without the short code, or with the shortcode in your template and not your content, or you might have AJAX functionality on your site (like my site has). In all these cases, it might be hard to effectively and elegantly include these scripts only as necessary.

I think the way it would work is that this would be turned off by default (to avoid problems for less tech-savvy users), but you could turn it on. It would read something like:

“If you are only using this plugin for galleries in your main content and are not using Javascript, you should turn on this feature in order to include javascript files only when necessary.”

…something like that.

What do you think?

Like I mentioned in the other thread, this will probably make it to the next revision, in a few weeks.

Thanks for the suggestions?

That makes sense. I’ll try implementing this it in the next version. That might be a few weeks away. I’ll let you know!

Actually, thinking a bit about this, why exactly do you want to do that? What problem would this solve? Why do you want to specify a ‘size’ for the gallery? Just curious.

Right now, the plugin always calls the ‘full’ image (that has problems of its own obviously). Are you using cropped images and want to include the cropped images and not the regular ones?
