Flash slideshow Wordpress widget version 1.3.2 released

By admin on February 23, 2010

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’.

Flash slideshow Wordpress widget version 1.3.1 released

By admin on February 17, 2010

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 1.3.1 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.

Flash slideshow Wordpress widget version 1.2.1 released

By admin on May 20, 2009

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 1.2.1 resolves a problem with ‘Wordpress its own directory‘.

The following information can also be found in the ‘readme.txt’ file that is included in the zip-file.

Installation

Installation is easy. Just download the free flash slideshow Wordpress widget, and install and activate it using the ‘Plugins/Add New’ menu in your Wordpress admin panel.

Once installed, you can add instances of the widget to your website through the ‘Appearance/Widgets’ menu, and change the settings by editing the added widget.  Take a look at the CCSlideShow user guide for a complete list of all parameters. This info is also available in the ’settings documentation.txt’ file that is included in the zip-file.

You can add as many slide shows as you want. Each slide show has it’s own set of settings.

To make the images appear in the slide show, you need to set the first two parameters:

path

Has to contain the absolute path (it has to start with ‘http://’) to the slides folder, WITH the final slash.

For example:

‘http://www.creativeclans.nl/wp-content/uploads/’

Use this setting when you have disabled ‘Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders’ in the Wordpress miscellanious settings, or are using a plugin that allows you to upload the images to a single folder.

Images

Version 1.2.1 of the slide show doesn’t load all images present in a folder. Instead you have to specify the image names one by one in this parameter.

Has to contain a list of the image names, one image per line.

If you didn’t use the ‘path’ setting, or only put a part of the path there (because you’ve enabled ‘Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders’ in the Wordpress miscellanious settings, or anyway the images are stored in different folders), then you’ll have to add the (missing part of) the path to the image names.

License

The flash slideshow Wordpress widget is released under the GNU/GPL license.

The CCSlideShow.swf flash file included in the widget is released under this license. As long as the flash file is a part of the CCSlideShow Wordpress widget, you are free to use it as if it was released under GNU/GPL as well. If you want to use it outside of the CCSlideShow Wordpress widget, then you’ll have to abide the rules of this license.

Flash slideshow Wordpress widget version 1.2 released

By admin on April 20, 2009

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 resolves a problem with domain redirects.

For example: your domain is ‘www.mydomain.com’, but people can also use ‘mydomain.com’, without the www. Since the widget up to version 1.1 used relative paths to point the flash module to the xml files with the settings, this meant that one of the two urls caused an error (in IE) or a blank slideshow (in FF).

Version 1.2 uses absolute paths, so this problem won’t occur anymore.

The following information can also be found in the ‘readme.txt’ file that is included in the zip-file.

Installation

Installation is easy. Just download the free flash slideshow Wordpress widget, and install and activate it using the ‘Plugins/Add New’ menu in your Wordpress admin panel.

Once installed, you can add instances of the widget to your website through the ‘Appearance/Widgets’ menu, and change the settings by editing the added widget.  Take a look at the CCSlideShow user guide for a complete list of all parameters. This info is also available in the ’settings documentation.txt’ file that is included in the zip-file.

You can add as many slide shows as you want. Each slide show has it’s own set of settings.

To make the images appear in the slide show, you need to set the first two parameters:

path

Has to contain the absolute path to the slides folder, WITH the final slash.

Use this setting when you have disabled ‘Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders’ in the Wordpress miscellanious settings, or are using a plugin that allows you to upload the images to a single folder.

Images

Has to contain a list of the image names, one image per line.

If you didn’t use the ‘path’ setting, or only put a part of the path there (because you’ve enabled ‘Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders’ in the Wordpress miscellanious settings, or anyway the images are stored in different folders), then you’ll have to add the (missing part of) the path to the image names.

License

The CCSlideShow.swf flash file included in the widget is released under this license. As long as the flash file is a part of the CCSlideShow Wordpress widget, you are free to use it as if it was released under GNU/GPL as well.

- a new window

- the parent of the current frame

- the top-level frame in the current window.

Have fun! And please continue to write your problems, comments, ideas.
