Easy content animation/slide shows?

Do you have any doco on the new 'Easy content animation/slide shows' ?

2.3.19 installed ok.

New Settings appear in the HTML Content setting page ok.

Just unsure what tags/snippets to add to enable the animation.

Also the skin mentioned in the blog, doesn't appear to have been included, only alt1 is included. alt2 is missing.

Thanks.

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

You do not need to add any specific tags to make the animation/slide show work. It will grab all of the first "layer" elements and make each one a different "slide". For instance, the code below would have 3 slides; (1) simply says hello, (2) is an image, (3) is an image and some text.

<p>Hello</p>
<img src="pic.jpg" />
<p><img src="pic.jpg" /><br />Some Text...</p>

Hope This Helps,
Joe

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

Hi Joe,

I enabled slideshow of elements, set Slide Transition Effects to fade, and paste the following code in the editor:

<p>Hallo</p>
<p><img src="/mojoNeu/Data/Sites/1/GalleryImages/EditorUploadImages/Plant01.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>Noch was ...</p>

but there is no slideshow Frown.

What do I not understand?

btw.: 2.3.1.9 MySQL

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

Hi Matthias,

There was a bug that was fixed and the release packages were patched Wednesday morning, so if you downloaded before that you may need to download again and just replace 1 file /ClientScript/oomph/oomph.min.js with the new version. You may also need to clear your browser cache. It was causing a jquery error in some cases that would prevent the slideshow.

I assume if you pasted markup you used the html view to paste it?

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi Joe,

thanks for response.

It was my poor english. No, i didn't paste the html, I create the content as usual in the editor.

I make a svn-update and after that I copy the file /ClientScript/oomph/oomph.min.js to my local version ...

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

Hm, it was already at revision: 5697. I think the file hasn't changed.
I tried it once more with:

<p>first line</p>
<p>second line</p>
<p>third line</p>

On the mojo online demo it works, here not ...

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

Hi Matthias,

What is the modified date of your oomph.min.js? It should be 9/30/2009 5:51AM

I would make sure your skin has the ScriptLoader control in layout.master, copy from one of the other skins in /Data/skins if not.

Also make sure you clear the browser cache.

If problem continues, is it a public url where I could look at it?

fyi, I just committed some other changes to trunk, but I'm pretty sure the oomph file was already updated previously.

Best,

Joe

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

Yep, it was the missing ScriptLoader control in the layout.master of my skin. Now it works. It's a really cool thing ... Cool

Thanks for help

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

Hi,

I'm having a similar problem with jQuery Cycle Plugin.  I updated the my site to 2.3.3.2 MSSQL from an older version about 2.3.1.0.  I see that javascript is working, and /Clientscript/jmojo/cycle.js is loaded.  I tried changing the skin to see if the layout.master file was causing issues... to make sure Scriptloader and appropriate javascript loaded.  I re-downloaded and reinstalled to see if that corrected the issue.  But alas, no slideslide show at this link.  I recently set up another site using the Cycle plugin that worked great, though that was a clean install using 2.3.2.9 MySQL.

Thanks in advance for your help.

- Paul

PS. I noticed errors in the system log after the install...

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

I know you tried using a skin that came with mojo to rule out the ScriptLoader issue but site skins are not updated when you run a mojoPortal update. The reason for this is to prevent the loss of changes you may have made to the skins since installation. To update the skins to their newest versions, you will need to copy the updated skins from \data\skins (or a zip of the latest release) to \data\sites\[sitenumber]\skins. Be careful when doing this as any changes you have made to the skins that come with mojoPortal will be overwritten. As a side note, I always rename skins before modifying them so I don't have to worry about losing my changes if I want to copy the skins from a release to my site(s).

The biggie here is that you must have the ScriptLoader so I would check for the line below in your current skin or in the skin you set on your test page.

<portal:ScriptLoader id="ScriptLoader1" runat="server" />

HTH,

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

I meant to address the errors you are receiving in your log. They aren't errors to be overly concerned with and you can read more about them in this recent Forum post.

Re: Easy content animation/slide shows?

Thanks so much Joe D.!

I simply deleted a old skin folder I was not using on the server and copied over the new skin folder and it works like a charm!

Enjoy the coffee.
