slideshow settings

Post from Brian from the WPG2 forums..

what i did was delete the 320x320 option in gallery2\modules\slideshow\slideshow.inc

	if (!isset($this->init)) {
	    $this->sizeClasses = array(
		array(640,640),     /* 0:   <640x480  */
		array(800,800),     /* 1:  ..800x600  */
		array(1024,1024),   /* 2: ..1024x768  */
		array(1280,1280),   /* 3: ..1280x1024 */
	    );                      /* 4:  >1280x1024 */

but you need to match that up in gallery2\modules\slideshow\templates\local\slideshow.tpl

    {g->text text="max size: "}
    <select onchange="new_size(this.value)">
      <option value="0">{g->text text="640x640"}</option>
      <option value="1">{g->text text="800x800"}</option>
      <option value="2">{g->text text="1024x1024"}</option>
      <option value="3">{g->text text="1280x1280"}</option>
      <option value="4">{g->text text="no limit"}</option>
    </select>

and to change the time, also in slideshow.tpl, iDelay is the number of miliseconds. the default is 15000. i set it to 3 seconds.

  var image = new Image(), timer, iDelay = 3000, iDir = 1, iSize = 0;

and the dropdown box as well

    {g->text text="delay: "}
    <select onchange="new_delay(this.value)">
      <option value="1">{g->text text="1 seconds"}</option>
      <option selected="selected" value="3">{g->text text="3 seconds"}</option>
      <option value="5">{g->text text="5 seconds"}</option>
      <option value="10">{g->text text="10 seconds"}</option>
      <option value="15">{g->text text="15 seconds"}</option>
      <option value="20">{g->text text="20 seconds"}</option>
    </select>

the default selected option is 15 seconds. just cut and paste the selection business.

Worked like a dream! Thank you!

Here too! Like the slideshow alot though!

Rather than deleting any lines when changing the default image size, I actually found it a little easier to just edit line 41 in modules/slideshow/templates/local/Slideshow.tpl to look like:

  var image = new Image(), timer, iDelay = 3000, iDir = 1, iSize = 1;

The "iSize" variable defines the default size of the image. In the default configuration, iSize can be:

0:    320x240
1:    640x480
2:    800x600
3:   1024x768
4:   1280x1024
5:  >1280x1024

And I have mine set to "1", which is a 640x640 image.

Now, to change the default of showing/hiding the info, it would seem like all you would have to do is change the value for bShowText to 1 on line 42 in modules/slideshow/templates/local/Slideshow.tpl. But, when I tried that, it didn't seem to make a difference.

I personally don't mind it off by default, but it would be nice to see all of these as options that could be set from the web interface.

Awesome little hack ! Has any one figure out how to get the "show more info" to be on by default? I set bShowText = 0 to bShowText = 1 but it makes no difference, except now I have to click the "show more info" link before it actually works.

Has anyone figured out how to make the slide show start immediately an album in the gallery is opened.

I have a client who wants the slide show immediately an album is opened.
