Photo Gallery Forums

Since I've installed Windows 8 on my PC the slideshow on the homepage of my site

www.cinziaroccaforte.it

doesn't begin with Chrome and Mozilla, instead with Internet explorer works.

I've tried to install the late flash player on the system, but the problem remains.

Any help?

Thanks

This is something that appeared with the newest flash player from Adobe. I will take a look into it this weekend. In the meantime, you may wish to convert to using the native gallery slideshow element by using folder parameters. See here, and scroll down to Slideshow example:

I've added parameters but nothing change..

You have to change it from filemod, to normal gallery in the dropdown.

I've now tried to change sub menu Filemod, selecting random and custom, but the problem remains, in the second option the page doesn't load,

As I said, change to a normal gallery, not filmod ... You are still using filemod, but just selecting a different one.

In that snapshot above, you are using the filemod dropdown menu. Instead use that global folder type menu, and set to "folder" (not filemod).

I'had come back to filemod slideshow because the other option doesn't work.
I put the options you said but not slideshow is showing.

Look it now.

Well, not sure what you mean "not working". It works fine here now, here are snapshots ... and you can see the timer:

With Chrome/Mozilla/Internet Expoler in windows 8 I see this:



With my smartphone android I see the slideshow.

Can you tell me the line to add to parameters to avoid to see the title of the picture?

Thank you

Add the parameter to your string + "&image.text.text1.enabled=false"

Ok, now text on the images have disappeared.

It is possible to keep the original size of the images? Now are reduced.

Remains the problem with windows 8 .

Thanks.

But this is a bit counter-intuitive because of all the different screen sizes ... Keep in mind, we have developed this software so that it should look good on all devices and screen sizes, so its not that simple as to just have an image at original size. This is what it looks like on my 13" macbook right now:


If you keep original scale, it will look like this:


You could experiment with the scale settings, and you can add them as parameters +"&image.image.scale=VALUE" ...

This I cannot confirm and will need to check. We are releasing an update with a fix for the slideshow mod by tomorrow, so you can revert to that option again then if you like.

Update:

Now the slideshow in wondows 8 works in Mozilla and Internet explorer, not in Chrome that has a built in flash player.

I've made photos for the slideshow of 1024/675 to make them fit well in a 1024*768 monitor.This is the screenshot





But your parameters fitmargin and others are very interesting, thank you.
