Hi

You still have the old javscript from the flash slideshow in your footer javascript code box. Can you please remove that? Let's see if that fixes a few things for you.

If you want, I can remove it for you.

I have the old slideshow in my footer too. I tried to use the flash slideshow code but it ends up on all pages not just my homepage. Right now my homepage slideshow is broken and the gallery fullscreen slideshow does not work either.

But, then my breadcrumbs wont go to the /galleries page.. I'll see if I can get it to work some other way, but, that was a beautiful hack :cry

don't know if I would call it beautiful


Perhaps, something like this...

YE.onContentReady('breadcrumb', function() {
 for (var i in this.childNodes) {
   if (this.childNodes[i].tagName == "A") {
     this.childNodes[i].href="/galleries"; 
     break;
   }
  }
});

You can add the new flash slideshow in your bio on your homepage. That way it will only show on your homepage.

The full-screen slideshow is working okay for me on your site. What browser are you using that it doesn't work?

OK.. On the homepage.. FF shows the images in the right order in the slideshow.. BUT, I got this error:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
    at components::ImageCache/setIndex()
    at components::ImageCache/next()
    at slideshow/::stepTimerResponder()
    at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch()
    at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::tick()

IE7 is messed up.. I'm erasing my cache to see if that fixes it, but, I'm thinking IE7 is doing something funky.

Thanks for the code I'm going to try it out.. (ok.. beautiful wasn't the right word... But, it WORKED! )

You just need to get it set up right - post in the slideshow thread, we'll help you get it up and going in no time. We'll help.

That code rocks! I wish I could understand how it works! But, it's the bees-knees.. Thanks!

Oh, clearing my cache fixed the slideshow issue in IE7... Damn microsoft software.. If I could run Linux 100% of the time and still do my day job I would.. But, I'm stuck with Windows :cry (At least my servers are Linux :ivar )

Dev - can you see why my custom title stuff is messed up? I'm sure there's a better way to do that too! If I promise to put LOTS of to praise you, will you fix it? bowbowbow

EDIT: don't get it.. Working now.. Damn IE7 cache was all messed up apparently.. argh.... And, here I'm driving you guys nuts... Sorry! (But, the new breadcrumb redirect is the best thing since sliced bread!)

When using the "create a card" feature I can't get any categories to show on the first screen. I click it and nothing happens. "Click 'Categories' below and choose an occasion." is the screen. It makes a highlight box around it but nothing happens clicking it.

Using Firefox 2.0.0.12

Yeah, that bug has been around a while. It hasn't been a super high priority because we are slow and don't have any cards except Holiday ones.

If you refresh the page once or twice, it may work.

Vista and E7.

Hmm, the fullscreen slideshow is working fine for me in your galleries using IE7. Can you give us a link to a gallery where it is not working for you?

Feeling really dumb right now...where the heck is my bio box?

The old slideshow is using it now, so you can get to it by going into your control panel and click on the Settings tab. It's on the line that begins with password.

Once you remove the old slideshow code, you will see it on your homepage.

OK...I wondered if it would show up if I removed the old code. I was just a little scared to try it without knowing first!
And, I thought the bio box was what I was using on my guestbook page, and that would seem to be the case. Do I just stick the new code in there with my guestbook/bio text?

On one computer the slideshow works but has title bar and sides so my 1920x1080 pictures do not fill the screen.
On my other computer the slideshow is fullscreen but only the first picture appears and stalls or I just get a black screen that says press escape to exit fullsreen mode. Both are Vista and E7. All galleries are the same.

If my old slideshow code is causing this it's a big headache, If I enable the bio to use the flash code it appears on my homepage and galleries pages.

Looks like you just copied your bio text into your guestbook gallery, so you should be fine. The guestbook is not actually using the biotext, so you can copy the new slideshow code into your bio and remove the text that is there. Make sure you have a copy of it somewhere -- just in case

Thanks, Barb! I'm getting closer! My slideshow gallery does not have a password and does have external links turned on, but I do have it unlisted. Where the slideshow should be it is asking for a password. And it's doing that for every page where I have subcategories listed...but only in logged out IE 7. Sorry for all the trouble...this has probably been hashed out somewhere before!


EDIT: OK...I think I had an incomplete Album ID. Now it's not asking for a password, but it just says SmugMug with no pics.

EDIT: Doh! Now it's there! Now I just need to get rid of the thumbnail bar...I think I saw something about that...going to look!

Thanks!

Check now

There was still some code in your footer javascript that I removed and also corrected the albumID in your slideshow code. Looking good!

It appears that my slideshow is no longer working correctly either. It runs through the gallery one time now. Before the update it cycled in a loop.

Loads and runs once with IE7 and FF. Thoght FF took about four minutes to load with "waiting for api.smugmug.com...." sitting in the lower left corner of the browser.... Once FF loads and plays the show once, that message is replaced with "Read api.smugmug.com".

Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks so much, Barb!

Maybe I messed up the ID after you had fixed it?? Now it's back to just saying Smugmug in the slideshow space.

Fixed your album ID. Check now?

YAY! Thank you! My goodness...it's really late here, and you're another time zone later than me! I appreciate all the help!

My pics are pretty small...do I mess with the 600, 600 to change that up? Also, they aren't centered...they seem to be a little to the right. How can I shift it around?

Yeah, the 600, 600 is your width and height. You can change that.

Add the following to your CSS code in your customization to center the slideshow:

#userBio {text-align: center !important;}

EDIT: Also, you will probably want to remove this from your CSS:

.homepage .boxBottom {
border: none;
padding-left: 107px;
}

That is forcing your slideshow to the right.

Don't know if it's related but my homepage doesn't show up in IE. It worked fine two days ago.

Brilliant! Thanks! Now, I think there's just one more thing...
In IE (not in FF) there is a white border that only shows up when I mouse over the slideshow. How to remove?

Sadly, that's an IE thing. Haven't figured out a way to fix that - not sure that there is

Allrighty...how 'bout decreasing the amount of space between the bio box and my nav bar?

EDIT: Also, the slideshow does seem to stop at the end rather than cycling in a loop.

Going to bed now! Three cheers for Barb!!! :ivar
