    Slide show software suggestion please

    Posted 16 years 2 weeks ago
    • I need an alternative solution for a slideshow with variable image duration and controls. Does RocketTheme have an extension that will do this?

      I've looked at Rokheadrotator and Rokslideshow and don't see a way to setup variable timing for the image duration. In other words, I need to display:
      img1 for 3 secs
      img2 for 3 secs
      img3 for 8 secs
      img4 for 3 secs...

      I'm using monoslideshow at the moment on the latest Hivemind 1.5 under Joomla 1.5.10 on the site
      http://www.adfinitem.com .

      The variable image duration works fine but on:

      On Macs: The next button in the controls is reportedly not working when using FF and Safari, I don't have a Mac so I cannot tell what might be going on!

      Windows: Everything works fine using IE7, FF3 and Chrome

      Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    • heya,

      not sure which transition you want to use, but maybe there is one, that can allow you to use image3 twice or 3 times for 3 sec each without anyone noticing?

      kat :)

    • Thanks so much for the quick response!

      I tried repeating the slide in the presentation as you suggested before.
      slide 1 - 3 secs
      slide 2 - 3 secs
      slide 2 - 3 secs
      slide 4 - 3 secs
      ...

      The problem with this solution is when the slide presentation is paused and a user goes to interactively clicking on the next button to advance to the next frame, when they get to slide 2 in the example above, they have to click twice and it appears the next button does not work.
      The client wants an autoplay slideshow, variable display timing on the slides (for reading the text) and controls to stop/pause, play, next and previous.

      Another solution perhaps?

      Thanks again,
