The slideshow wasn’t developped to be used in a multilingual environment, and therefore it’s not possible to add more than one caption to each slide. So you might have your whole site in more languages, but the captions would always be in that one language.

But there is a solution!

To make your slideshow multilingual, install and activate the qTranslate plugin, and the Widget Logic plugin.

Add the qTranslate widget to your sidebar.

Then add a slideshow widget for each language, giving each the captions in that language.

At the end of the usual slideshow settings, you’ll find a new one called ‘Widget logic’. Put the following code in there:

(function_exists('qtrans_getLanguage') && qtrans_getLanguage()=="xx")

You must put the code of the desired language instead of the xx.

For example, ‘en’ is english, ‘de’ is german, ‘it’ is italian, ‘nl’ is dutch, ‘fr’ is french, ‘es’ is spanish.

Try it, it works great. And let me know if you can’t get it to work.

This new version of the free flash slideshow wordpress widget is 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? Did you notice that your slide show disappeared when you enabled permalinks? Well, it doesn’t anymore!  Version 1.1 is permalink compatible!

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.

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.
