Hi Everybody,
We have just released our SuperSlideshows plugin. This plugin allows you to create multiple Javascript (uses the jQuery Cycle plugin) slideshows and embed them anywhere within your site (just plug a line of code into the template file, same style as for the components).
The plugin allows for advanced slides with embedded HTML.
For a demo of what the plugin can do, please have a look here (both slideshows on the homepage are created with the plugin): http://simplebusiness.getsimplethemes.com/
The plugin can be downloaded here: http://getsimplethemes.com/gst-superslideshows/
Cheers!
-Matt

You might be right there; we haven't tested it on a sub directory and the JS includes in the demos are based on the root document folder. We'll get this fixed and update the plugin tomorrow. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi Oleg
It appears to be the same issue as Mike pointed out; the JS files won't get loaded when the site is installed in a subfolder as opposed to the root folder. We'll sort this out and update the plugin asap.

Yes, I removed the slash and it worked, but it is better to prescribe an absolute link

Hi! Great plug-in, but the documentation is somewhat sketchy for a noob like me. I don't know what to put in the "Next", "Previous" or "Pager" fields in the form. I also don't know in which file and where to enter the commands described in the cycle function. Also, when I create a simple "mother-page" to hold the slideshow by just pasting in the php slideshow code, the page then becomes empty if I try to re-edit it, even in source code view.

Hi there,
For the fields like "Next", "Previous", "Pager", etc. please have a look at the Cycle site for a description of the available options.
Further, you don't have to enter any other commands (except for that small bit of php code where you want the slideshow to appear).
As for your problems, if you have created a slideshow with some pages in it and it doens't show up, some errors must be displayed. Did you turn on the debug-mode? Any other info or a link we can look at?

The site I'm working on is here, it's for a print shop. As you can see, the slideshow is working fine, all I need to do is to have some controls for user input, like next, previous, pause or stop. I've looked at the Cycle site, but I'm still puzzled about what to enter in the "Next", "Previous" and "Pager" fields.
It's not the slideshow that doesn't show up, it's the php snippet in the holding page that disappear if I open the page to re-edit it... No big problem as it's such a small line I can just retype it.

Hi Wogew,
Firstly, about the PHP code; it's better to insert this directly into the template file instead of placing it into the text editor (as the text editor will keep on filtering it out).
For the Next, Previous and Pager options, you should enter JQuery selectors pointing to the ID attributes of the relevant elements. For example, let's say you have named a link (<a>) which you want to use as the Prev link, and this link has an ID of "previous", then for the Prev option, you enter "#previous" (the # means you're pointing to the ID of an element, for class use a single dot: ".").
Hope this helps!

I love this plugin and I got it working, but for some reason when the page that has the slideshow setup on it loads for the first time in Internet Explorer 8, in both regular mode, and compatibility view, The slideshow shows up on TOP (ie: overlaps) of my page text. If I click "Home" to reload the page, it fixes it, but if I refresh or simply load the URL again, it breaks again. Here's the URL:
http://173.192.220.99/~wwwboone/
OK, I Just had this happen in Firefox 3.6 also, but only once. I was about to say screw it and not worry about IE, but if it's doing it in Firefox also, there's a problem.
ALSO: does anyone know anything about why the black dot shows up on the first slide? I've noticed it on several other people's pages that are using the plugin too.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Garrett

I don't use the plugin but I'm guessing it is your css for lists (the images are list elements) so they are "bulletted".

Thanks Rob! You nailed that part of it. I should have caught that, but I'm still not that great with CSS. Now if I can just figure out the overlapping problem.
Thanks again,
Garrett

Hi Garret,
It seems the overlapping is an issue caused by the Jquery Cycle plugin (for some reason the right height is not always detected). You can solve this issue by making sure that the images in your slideshow have the "height" and "width" attribute set (you can do this from the GetSimple html editor).
Hope this helps!
