This new version of the free flash slideshow wordpress widget is again the result of the feedback of one of you. So don’t hesitate and post your praise, questions, comments and critics. It all helps to make a better product!
So, what’s new? Version 1.3.2 fixes a bug concerning the transparent background. In the widget’s HTML code, the object wmode parameter was set as ‘opaque’, resulting in a white background, even if the background transparency of the slideshow was set to 0 (transparent).
In the new version, wmode is set to ‘transparent’, which means that all objects laying underneath the flash object (like the site’s background color) will shine through the transparent parts of the slide show. So now, if you specify the background transparency as 0, it’ll work as it should.
Attention: the wmode was set to ‘opaque’ for a reason: it prevented the flash object from being shown on top of everything, thus obscuring drop down menus (this is a flash behaviour, not something specific for the slideshow). I think ‘transparent’ will work just fine, but I haven’t had the possibility to test it. If you notice a problem, please let me know. In that case, I’ll have to add a new setting to let you choose between wmode ‘opaque’ and ‘transparent’.

So, what’s new? Version 1.3.1 fixes a bug concerning the widget title. Version 1.3 always displayed the title, even if none had been set. In some Wordpress templates, this caused an empty coloured box to appear above the slideshow (in other templates it might have other effects). In version 1.3.1, the title (and all related graphical effects) is displayed only when you set one.

Someone has informed me that the flash object included in the do-it-yourself version of the slide show didn’t allow him to load images through a proxy. First of all, I want to thank him for informing me, because he has given me the possibility to correct things.
I don’t know why, but something must have gone wrong. I’ve already uploaded a new package, with a working flash object.
So if you couldn’t get the proxy to work, please download the do-it-yourself slide show package again.
I apologise for the inconvenience. This version’s release has been far from perfect. I’ll try to do better next time.

I’m sorry if you tried to use the automatic upgrade to install the new version of the Wordpress widget, and you got a critical error. When I uploaded the new version to the Wordpress plugins site, I completely missed the fact that only those files that already existed where updated. The new ones weren’t, so they were missing at the moment of installation.
I corrected that error, and now the automatic install and upgrade from the Wordpress plugins repository is working.
I apologise for any inconvenience. And please keep posting your problems and questions in the support forum.

Good news: version 1.3 of the Creative Clans Slide Show will be released Friday 5 February!
Work on version 1.3 of the slide show has made considerable progress these last few days, at least the do-it-yourself version and the Wordpress widget. These two are in the final testing stage, and the basic documentation is almost complete.
Unfortunately, the Joomla module, which seemed easier than the Wordpress widget, has proven to be more complex. And to avoid other delays, I’ve decided not to release all three together. The Joomla module will be released later, when it’ll be ready.
I had hoped to release the new slide show with some nice border images, but nobody has sent me any, and I have had no time to make any. So if you want to use that feature, you’ll have to make them yourself. Of course, until friday, and also after that day, you are more than welcome to send me your artistic efforts.
As said, the basic documentation is ready. And I think it is quite clear and complete. But of course I may be wrong. It might be completely obscure to someone that doesn’t know exactly how the slide show works. So don’t hesitate to let me know if something is missing, or if something isn’t clear. And if someone wants to make a tutorial with screen shots, or something like that, please send it to me and I’ll publish it on the site. I had wanted to make one myself, but there are not enough hours in a day…
So, the waiting has almost finishes. Three more days, and then the new version will be there. With these great new features.

I know you’ve all been waiting for version 1.3, but something came up suddenly last week, and this version release is the result.
This new version of the free flash slideshow wordpress widget is again the result of the feedback of one of you. So don’t hesitate and post your praise, questions, comments and critics. It all helps to make a better product!
So, what’s new? Version 1.2.2 resolves a problem that occurred on at least some sites that are hosted with GoDaddy. So is your site GoDaddy hosted, and didn’t the slide show work for you, then try again with this new version. It should work. Let me know if it doesn’t!
Version 1.2.2 has no new functionality, so for more information about its use and the license I’ll just point you to the previous version.
