The following documentation is included in the package you can download as well.
Installation
- Download the latest version of the product from the Creative Clans website (http://www.creativeclans.nl)
- Unzip the package in a folder on your computer
- Upload the CCSlideShow folder to your site
- Copy the code in the index.html example file in the package, and paste it into your page’s code
- To modify the look and feel of the slide show, and to get it to show YOUR slides, read the rest of this document
Show my slides (the beginning)
- Put your images online in the ‘images’ subfolder of the ‘CCSlideShow’ folder
- Edit the CCSlideShow.xml in the ‘CCSlideShow’ folder (a detailed explanation of the slides xml document follows further down)
Since the html code and the config xml document included in the package are set up to work with the folder structure present in the package, it should work without a problem.
If you want to change something (for example save the images in another folder, or change the name of the xml documents), you’ll have to set some parameters. Keep reading to learn about it.
CCSlideShow.xml
Contains the info of the slides. The structure must be that of the CCSlideShow.xml included in the package you downloaded. Just make a copy and edit it.
For each slide, you have to provide three tags: itemName, itemCaption and itemLink. None of them has to contain any data, but they have to be present.
itemName: The name of the slide. Not used by the slide show, it’s for your own convenience.
itemCaption: Shown as caption by the slide show (unless you switch captions off).
itemLink: If links are enabled, clicking on the slide will open a new window with the page defined in this tag. If no link is inserted, no window will be opened. If a link is defined in the config xml document (see further down), that link will override the links defined in this document for the single slides.
CCSlideShowConfig.xml
Contains the parameters that set the look and feel of the slide show. The structure must be that of the CCSlideShowConfig.xml included in the package you downloaded. Just make a copy and edit it.
You only have to include the parameters you want to give a non-default value. All parameters that are missing in this document will be set to their default value.

Show my slides (advanced)
The most basic configuration is the following:
<folder> (folder that contains the page) page.html (or .php) CCSlideShow.swf CCSlideShow.xml CCSlideShowConfig.xml <images> (contains the images)
In this case, the following code in the html will include the slide show:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="300" height="225">
<param name="movie" value="CCSlideShow.swf" />
<embed src="CCSlideShow/CCSlideShow.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
width="300" height="225" />
</object>
Also, there’s no need to set the folder in the config xml document (the default value is ‘images/’).
When, however, you want to change something in the folder structure, you’ll need to make some changes in the html (when the .swf and/or the xml documents aren’t in the same folder as the html/php page and/or have a different name) and/or the config xml document (when the images are stored somewhere different from the ‘image’ subfolder).
Example 1 : Slide show in a subfolder
If you don’t want to put the slide show flash object in the same folder as the page that calls it, you’ll have to point to it. The path has to point to it starting from the page that calls it. This is the configuration in the package you downloaded.
<folder> (folder that contains the page)
page.html (or .php)
<CCSlideShow>
CCSlideShow.swf
CCSlideShow.xml
CCSlideShowConfig.xml
<images> (contains the images)
The html code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="300" height="225">
<param name="movie" value="CCSlideShow/CCSlideShow.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="config=CCSlideShow/CCSlideShowConfig.xml&slides=CCSlideShow/CCSlideShow.xml" />
<embed src="CCSlideShow/CCSlideShow.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
width="300" height="225"
FlashVars="config=CCSlideShow/CCSlideShowConfig.xml&slides=CCSlideShow/CCSlideShow.xml" />
</object>
There are 2 differences:
- The relative path has been added in front of CCSlideShow.swf
- The Flashvars parameter has been added to point to the two xml documents, with 2 variables:
- config (contains the path and name of the config xml document)
- slides (contains the path and name of the slides xml document)
The path to the xml documents can be absolute or relative. If it’s relative, it has to be so starting from the page containing the html code.
Since the ‘images’ folder has a different position as well (it’s no longer a subfolder from the folder where the page with the html code resides), the ‘path’ parameter in the config xml document has to be set:
<parameter name="path">CCSlideShow/images/</parameter>
The path to the images can be absolute or relative. If it’s relative, it has to be so starting from the page containing the html code.
Example 2 : the xml documents have a different name
By default, the two xml files used by the slideshow are called ‘CCSlideShow.xml’ (contains the slide info) and ‘CCSlideShowConfig.xml’. You can, however, call them any way you like. Which becomes a must when you want to use more than one slide show on your site. All you have to do is point the slide show to the xml documents through the Flashvars parameter (just like in example 1).
Let’s assume that we want to show 2 different slide shows, both with the same look and feel (one config xml document), but with different slides to show (two slides xml documents).
All images will be stored in the same folder (otherwise we would need two config xml documents).
<folder> (folder that contains the page)
page.html (or .php)
<CCSlideShow>
CCSlideShow.swf
CCSlides1.xml
CCSlides2.xml
CCSlideShowConfig.xml
<images> (contains the images)
The html code for the first slide show:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
width="300" height="225">
<param name="movie" value="CCSlideShow/CCSlideShow.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="config=CCSlideShow/CCSlideShowConfig.xml&slides=CCSlideShow/CCSlides1.xml" />
<embed src="CCSlideShow/CCSlideShow.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
width="300" height="225"
FlashVars="config=CCSlideShow/CCSlideShowConfig.xml&slides=CCSlideShow/CCSlides1.xml" />
</object>
The html code for the second slide show:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"

awesome plugin!!
Thank you! I have been looking for a plugin to do this for months!
I am having one slight problem, maybe you can help. I have 3 instances of the widget in the sidebar, everything works fine until you click to a different page. At that point the bottom 2 instances just show a white box until the page is refreshed.
Hi Lory, thanks for using the plugin. Right now, I have no idea what might be causing this problem. I never saw it before, multiple instances work fine for me. If you could give me the link to your site, then I might take a look and maybe understand why this happens.
Impressive work indeed!
Just a question (forgive me, I have just been into WP for two days now); Is it possible to put the slideshow in the header and still be able to control the features from the widget. I’ve done some attempts by installing the widget in Sidebar 2, commented out the snippet
in sidebar.php and inserted the same snippet in header.php
This works, but I have the bullet in front of the slideshow, and it’s a very ugly way to accomplish things. Do you have any ideas how to do this in a more tidy way. I don’t want to give your beautiful code an ugly surrounding.
Wishing you a nice weekend!!
/Anders
Hello Anders,
I took a look at your site, and it seems you managed to get rid of that ‘bullet’? I guess it was a CSS thing, right?
You’re right, hard-coding the slideshow in the header.php isn’t a very nice way to accomplish things, but maybe it’s the easiest. Now I’m no expert, and you really should look for an answer on the wordpress.org website, but I guess the ‘right’ way would be to create a ‘widget-space’ in the header in your template. Then, in the widget management admin panel you should be able to choose that new widget space and add widgets to it. But I might be wrong, and I don’t have the slightest idea how it must be done. Until now, I’ve only used wordpress templates made by others, and never created one myself.
Superb plugin, thank you very much!
Hello again,
I noticed that the slideshow works great on my homepage, however, when I go to a different page I see that the slideshow has stopped and only a blank background appears. Is there a way to configure this (great plugin) to display the slideshow sitewide?
Thank you in advance.
TDC
This problem has already been resolved, but for those who are having the same problem: make sure you specified the absolute path to the image directory (for example ‘http://www.nameofyoursite.com/folder/‘). Using a relative path means no slides will show on all pages other than the main page.
Having some trouble getting this plugin to work on my site. Sometimes it seems ok and sometimes there are lines of crazy code. It’s compatable with 2.7.1. right? Can you take a look at http://alicethelma.com? Thanks!
Yea! Got your slideshow working in the widget of my wordpress site. I will donate if you can assist me in figuring out how to get rid of my themes automatic addition of a gradation image that shows up under and to the side of the slideshow.
How can I knock that out using the parameters or css?
Thank you for such a great and easy to use plugin – my site looks great now.
-wwwindi
Problem resolved. I will donate anyway. Thanks!
Thanks for using our slideshow, and I’m glad you resolved your problem.
Slideshow is working, however I still want to use the upload feature for pages/posts. How can I still use either the browser or the flash uploader and use your slideshow.
What kind of plugin could I use to upload to one folder only?
This is because of the need to disable date/time folders for uploads – HELP!?
-wwwindi
@ Chris T.: Yes it is compatible with 2.7.1
@wwwindi:
You can use the slideshow with “organize my uploads into date/year” activated and non.
In the ‘path’ setting of the widget, you put the absolute path to the WordPress upload folder (specified in the same admin screen as the “organize my uploads into date/year” setting):
‘http://www.nameofsite.com/wp-content/uploads/‘
Now, if you switch “organize my uploads into date/year” off, using the WordPress build-in media manager (flash or browser), all images should be saved in the specified upload folder, and all you have to do is list the image names.
Instead, if you switch “organize my uploads into date/year” on, using the WordPress build-in media manager (flash or browser), all images should be saved in a year/month subfolder of the specified upload folder, and you’ll have to do add the correct year/month subfolder to the listed images names. For example:
2009/03/picture_saved_in_march_2009.jpg
2009/04/picture_saved_in_april_2009.jpg
Is there no example of what the xml file should look like? Sorry, I’m not very experienced in xml docs.
Thanks.
Hello Sarah, the zip file contains both xml files. You can use them to create your own.
I am a confessing novice to WordPress. I have followed the instructions for WordPress. I have tried both ways of uploading my pictures with the organization on and off. But for some reason, I still do not see my pictures showing up. Would you be able to assist?
Thanks!
Hello Brett,
I’ve taken a look at your site, and I think the absolute path you specified in the settings isn’t correct.
Try
‘http://changeyourlane.com/wp-content/uploads/‘
and let me know if it solves your problem.
It does! Thank you! I appreciate your help.
Hello!
I’m trying to get the wordpress plugin working on our site…however all I get is an error.
The absolute path I am using is

The page is at http://www.jccdenver.org/jcc/
I get a blank box in ie and the following error in Firefox:

Is there something else I should be editing? Thank you!
Hi,
I tested your plugin on my local machine and it worked perfectly. WHen i installed it on the blog site, it shows the following error:

I have tried everything – my path also is absolute – http://carmanschool.com/wp-content/uploads/
– and I have disabled the organize uploads term too! just dont know whats going wrong.
Michelle, thank you for using our slideshow. I took a look at your site, and there is an error in your html code in this line:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"<br />
It should be:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000">
@Him: thanks for using our slideshow.
The warnings you are getting mean that the widget can’t create the xml files in the plugin directory /home/carmansc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/creative-clans-slide-show/.
This is a question of permissions. You’ll have to change the permissions on that directory to 755 (or 777, depends on how the server is set up). You can change the folder permissions with any decent FTP program (like FileZilla), or ask your hoster how to do it.
Thank you for taking a look at the site.
<object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″
This code is generated by your widget though. I’m trying to find it in the widget file now.
Okay it looks like the problem was that the object tag and it’s parameters were all on separate lines. I removed the line breaks from the php file from the object tag and the embed tag.
now the code looks like this:
Now I just get a white box at http://jccdenver.org/jcc/
I’ve tried moving the folder to http://www.jccdenver.org/jcc/reach/ but that doesn’t seem to work either.
Michelle, yes, the line breaks were causing the problem.
I’ve checked the content of your xml files, and it seems to me you didn’t set the absolute path right.
You have ‘http://localhost:8888/jcc/wp-content/themes/newjcc/images/reach/‘
and it should be ‘http://www.jccdenver.org/jcc/wp-content/themes/newjcc/images/reach/‘
Hi. This is just GREAT! …looking for a way to hide flash under menu items… i know it has somenthing to do with…
</object
but im a noob. how can i do this?
Hi Murdok, thanks for using the slideshow. I’m sorry, but I don’t know how you could do that. My guess is you’ll have to work with the z-index of the flash div and/or the menu items. But don’t ask me how.
Hi,
Is it possible to run different slide shows on separate pages? And, if so, is there a limit to the number that can be run? What I would like to do is run a slideshow specific to each artist’s images on that artist’s profile page. Currently there are two of us. If you click a slide, you’ll be taken to the profile page of the artist who created the image. My intention is to have the artist page slideshows linked to that artist’s page in the store (an external site).
Also, what is the limit on the number of slides that can be included in a fadein,fadeout slideshow.
Thanks much. CCSlideshow is quite nice.
Marina
Hi Marina,
Yes, it is possible to run different slideshows on different pages. I’ve taken a look at the site you posted, and if that’s the one you’re talking about, then you’re using the Joomla module, right? Just create more instances of the module (copying the original one), and change their settings. If I’m correct, in Joomla you can specify on which pages you want to show the module, so just change that for each slideshow.
I don’t know if there is a limit to the number of modules you can have in Joomla, but I’d say that it’s probably no problem.
There is no limit to the number of slides, except maybe for a physical limit (the list of image names is stored in a database, and I’m sure there’s a max limit to the number of characters the list can contain) and of course it might compromise the loading time of the page if you use a too big number of slides. But we’re talking big numbers, so I really don’t think you’ll have any problems.
Yes. I am using the Joomla module. And I have done just what you described without success. But, I’ve since discovered that my problem is not with multiple slide shows. It has to do with my menu/module structure. Turns out even the working slideshow, when set to play on all pages, does not work on the artist pages (which are a separate menu to the info menu — nested modules). So I’ll go attack that puzzle now. Thanks much for confirming that I can do what I want to do once I get things set up right.
Hi again,
All’s well that ends well. I’m reporting back to add to your Joomla knowledge base. The artist pages that did not play the slideshow were child items of “Card Artists” on my Info Menu (module infomenu). The ones that now work properly are top level items on a separate Artists Menu (module artistsmenu) that gets called by “Card Artists” in the Info Menu.
Thanks again.
I should have finished all my testing before I wrote. What I said in my last message remains true, but I’ve discovered that when the artist’s page is accessed via a link from the store (heartfulvillagestore.com), the slideshow does not appear. When the about page is accessed via a link from the store, the main slideshow does appear. Ummmmmmmmmmmm.
HI,
I downloaded the plugin for WordPress. I don’t see any xml files in the download. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, how do I change the size of the swf? I see it in the source code of on the webpage. Do I have to go into the source code and change the size or is there a way to do this through the WP widget admin area?
I just downloaded the Joomla and non cms versions of the slideshow and the xml files are there, but they don’t show up in the zip file for wordpress that I downloaded.
Hi Rob,
No, you didn’t do anything wrong. The wordpress widget creates the xml files when you add a slideshow widget in the WP widget admin area. Once you added a slideshow widget that way, you can change the value of all settings, including the width and height of the slideshow.
hi, I’m using the joomla plugin. Everything is working. My questions is: Is possible to have a transparent background in my slideshow? My images are PNG’s with transparency.
Thank you
Hi Elvin,
I’m sorry, but right now the slideshow has a solid background. This is something I’ll put on the to-do list as a possible feature for the next version.
Is there a way to get the slideshow to be different from post to post? Also, is there a way to use it directly in an actual post rather than only as a widget?
Hi Nicholas, next time please use the support forum for this kind of questions.
I see your site is a WP site, so I’ll answer for that one:
To show a different slideshow on each page, you might want to take a look at the widget logic plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/
It can be used to create multilingual sites, but also to show different widgets on different pages, using the wordpress conditional tags:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
See here how it can be used to show different slideshows for different languages:
http://www.creativeclans.nl/2009/02/a-multilingual-slide-show-in-wordpress/
and I think you’ll be able to figure out how to change the widget logic from
(function_exists(‘qtrans_getLanguage’) && qtrans_getLanguage()==”xx”)
to
is_page(‘About Me And Joe’)
The idea is to create a slideshow for each page in the widgets page sidebar. Just add one slideshow widget for each slideshow you want to create. Then, set the settings for each slideshow (path to the images, the images you want to show, etc). Without using widgetlogic, you’d now see all the slideshows one beneath the other on every page of your website. But, specifying the correct page for each slideshow (using widgetlogic like I explained before), each slideshow should show only on that specific page, showing the images you’ve set for that specific slideshow.
Hi there,
I have tried and tried to follow all the instructions and changed the permissions to be correct but I still get the following errors…

It was a permissions problem but now I just dont know.
Can you help?
This error indicates the widget can’t create the xml files in the widget folder, which is a question of permissions. If you set the right permissions for the ‘wp-content/plugins/creative-clans-slide-show/’ folder, then I really don’t know why this error still shows up.
Hello,
I have downloaded the Joomla module and installed it on my server. I can see it in my Joomla Module Manager. Now, I have 3 questions (I’m a happy amateur; and yes I did read your user guide):
1)You say: “Copy the code in the index.html example file in the package, and paste it into your page’s code” – where do I find my page’s code???
2)You say: “Put your images online in the ‘images’ subfolder of the ‘CCSlideShow’ folder” – there is no subfolder; should I create one myself?
3)I want to put the slideshow on the top of my front page (where it now says “slides test”. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Anne
Hi Anne, thank you for using our slideshow.
I’m sorry for the confusion, but this manual is for the html version. The only part that is relevant for the joomla and wordpress versions of the slideshow, is the list of transition effects and the description of the parameters that can be set.
Ignore the rest, because once you’ve installed the joomla module, you can set everything using the joomla admin panels (just like you’d do for any other joomla module).
About your third question, you can place the slideshow in any of the containers of your template, just like you can do with any joomla module. If you want to use it in a post, then you should search the joomla site for a way to do that.
I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I downloaded the HTML version of the slide show program and I’m not getting anything on my website.
All the images are in the /CCSlideshow/images/ folder.
Please help.

Hi Susan, first of all thanks for your interest in the slideshow. I took a look at your website, but can’t find where you’re trying to use it. If you want any help, you’ll have to give me the link to the page with the slideshow.
And please, ask support questions in the support forum.
I tested plugin on local machine and it worked good. But when i installed it on my site it shows error:
Warning: fopen(/var/chroot/home/content/b/a/d/XXXXaccount/html/modules/mod_ccslideshow/xmlconfig45.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/b/a/d/badraccount/html/badrmedia/modules/mod_ccslideshow/mod_ccslideshow.php on line 87
??? What does it mean?
Hi Amin, next time please ask support questions in the support forum.
These messages appear when the module can’t create the two xml files it needs, because it doesn’t have the necessary permissions to write in the subdirectory.
You’ll have to set the permissions for the module’s subdirectory to 755 (or 777 if 755 doesn’t give a positive result).
