I have been looking again at Dynamic Drive Image Slide Shows and trying to get them to work on SS. Here is onethat I would like to try - the program works OK after copy and paste into the BODY but I cant figure out where to locate the pictures. Can anybody help??
Thanks in advance
Tony

When using Book Flip slideshow, I had my images on the same page as the slideshow as Foreign Objects (Publish File-format). I suppose you could try the same.

OK Thanks Klimt, I will try that!!

The Dynamic Drive code you are trying to use requires the image file names to be entered into the array "slideshowcontent". You need to enter a valid image file path/name into every line as:

slideshowcontent[x]=["image URl", "optional link", "optional link target"]

where "x" is an array position number, starting at 0 and incrementing by 1;
"image URL" is the path to your image;
"optional link" is a link used if the visitor clicks on the image; and,
"optional link target" tells the browser is the link should be opened in a new window (_new").

The code given by Dynamic Drive provide samples for array positions 0, 1 and 2

Hi Klimt, I just tried what you suggested but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi larryd, I have just been trying your suggestion but I can't get that to work either.

I have put a test page on this site maybe you could have a look to point me in the right direction.
Thanks to you both. Tony

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see pic3.html, pic4.html or pic5.html anywhere on the page. Did you upload the images?

Yes. But they are in the /htdocs file. How do I upload them onto the page? Sorry to be so stupid I'm still on the learning stage!

We are all learning, it's trial and error so don't feel alone . In SS on your left hand side you will find an Import Foreign Object icon. To have SiteSpinner upload the images, place each one on your slideshow page as a 'Foreign Object' -- publish file format. Then when you republish, the images should be uploaded to your root folder. Also watch out for case-sensitivity on the image file names.

Put your "slideshowcontent[x]" statements on separate lines or end each with a semi-colon (";").

I noticed the following code on your page:

<script type="text/javascript" SRC="slideshows.js"></script>

I did not see this reference on the Dynamic Drive site. Is it possible you are mixing two typse of slideshow scripts?

Larry, I sent you a PM by email. I hope you have time to answer.

OK Larry, I put "slideshowcontent[x]" statements on seperate lines and it works fine Thanks a lot, The <script type="text/javascript" SRC="slideshows.js"></script> was left over from another slide show but it doesn't seem to be interferring with this one.
