photo center slideshow

can i make a slideshow of my photos from my photalbum? and how?

Re: photo center slideshow

Not within the photo center.

The easiest way to build a slide show on a web page is to use javascript as in the page I have linked.

Re: photo center slideshow

as you have said i tried to use javascript for slideshow but i had some difficulties using javascript in my website built by the red wizard...how can i insert the image source url to the slideshow javascript like this:
slideshowcontent =["image url"]
slideshowcontent =["image url"]
slideshowcontent =["image url"]

and some javascripts don't even show up when i preview my website

Re: photo center slideshow

Everyone has trouble using Javascript in the Website Wizard. Very often the code needs to be reworked a bit or sourced from an external file. I assume you are trying to use some prewritten Javacript, and then modify it to show your photos. Can you give us a pointer to the original code and to the page you might want to use it? We need to see what you are doing before we can recommend a solution.

Please do not post the code in the forum. Unless you know how to post it properly, it only makes a mess in the forum, and makes it twice as hard for us to figure out.

Re: photo center slideshow

thanks martin you're really a great help for novice web developer like me..

the code you provided worked..i just want to ask two more questions..how can i make it to auto start and how can i adjust it's speed? thnx

Re: photo center slideshow

For that you will need to pick a different script to use. The script that you chose is only intended to be used manually. I'm sure that it can be modified to be automatic, but you would be better off going back to javascriptkit.com, and choosing another one that better suites your needs. We can probably make that one work too.

Re: photo center slideshow

here is another link for a javascript slideshow..i think this one's much better one for me: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/translucentslide.htm

i was able to insert the url of my images to this javascript and previewed it using an hml editor and it worked, but when i inserted it to my website, the usual problem occurs,it does'n appear.

Re: photo center slideshow

Hi Marvin,

Sorry this took so long but I got buried in other work. Try this link to Slide Show II for the code that works properly in the Website Wizard.

Re: photo center slideshow

thnx for your reply...but i'm still having problem with this javascript..it's not appearing in my page.
i have this second account i use for testing, i tested the javascript here but it does not appeared: http://www.marvz.bravehost.com pls. check what's wrong martin.thnx

Re: photo center slideshow

Yes, this is yet another reason to learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript and design web pages with something other than the Website Wizard. There's one more oddity with the Wizard that falls in the catagory of "Stupid Wizard Tricks".

Briefly, one of the key elements in the Javascript is the boolean OR operator, (|). However, when you insert the code, using the Code Editor, and then switch to the Visual Editor, editor removes them. So the trick is to copy the Javascript to a text editor and save it on your hard drive. Make all the modifications you need to the text file. Once you have made your changes, open your page in the wizard and switch to the Code editor. Insert your code, but DO NOT switch back to the Visual editor. If you do, the Visual editor will remove the boolean OR operator, (|), from the code and render it useless. Instead, go down to the bottom of the page and save your work and publish.

The preview will probably work, but don't go back to the page and open up the content area in the Visual editor. If you have to make changes, like adding/subtracting images, do it on the saved text and then paste the changes into page using the Code Editor mode.

Re: photo center slideshow

ok. thanx, now i understand why..because i'm used to previewing my codes with the visual editor. i'll do what you said.thnx

by the way, i like your redwizard tester page, it will sure be helpful to others.
