Hi,

I am using the jQuery Cycle plugin by enabling it on html-content in mojoPortal.
It works great, but I want to adjust some settings for the plugin.

According to this page there are quite a few things that can be adjusted. I want to modify the option "speed" since I think the transitions are too fast with the fade-method, you can hardly note any fading, the picture just switches.

How can this be achieved in mojoPortal?

It would be nice to have a field in the settings for the html-content to put these options in. Is it possible by filling out the "CSS Class"-field and then enter something clever in the html-code?

Hi again!

I followed your advice and downloaded and installed the interim-build by oct 31.

Updated the files, did a iisreset and hit the page /setup/default.aspx, but still no option of Transition speed :-(

So, after a few other tries with emptying caches and so on, I went to demo.mojoportal.com to check it out, but there is no setting there either! Am I blind or missing something?

"Transition Interval In Milliseconds", it is the equivalent of speed

I am sorry Joe, but that is not the case.

The interval was present before and correlates to the "timeout" option value and is the interval between changes from one item to the next (as you correctly say), but the "speed" setting is how long the transformation itself goes on. The problem I see when using transition fade, it just swaps too fast, so I want the fading procedure itself to take longer.

From the jQuery documentation:

Value         Default   Meaning
---------    ----------  ----------
timeout:       4000,  // milliseconds between slide transitions (0 to disable auto advance) 
speed:         1000,  // speed of the transition (any valid fx speed value)

Besides from this specific settings, there are numerou s of other tweaks that can be made. How can this be achieved in MP? If there is no gui for this, can you give a hint on where in a file or how this can be adjusted in the html of the content?

Joe, you are the greatest!

mojoPortal is faboulus and your support is second to none, absolutely fantastic. It is like Christmas day every day, you just wish for a feature and before you can say "mojo" it is implemented! I really look forward to the next release (especially for the file upload feature), I can't wait! In fact it would be very nice to see an interim build with this implemented already today...

About the jQuery cycle options, sooner or later someone wants another option implemented and then you implement that one and so on, which in time will make it cluttered anyway.

How about having only the few options that are present now and instead add a check box or button called "Show advanced options" (which is by default not checked) and if you select it all of the other settings unfolds?

(Also i suggest that you keep the terminology Interval instead of Duration which sounds more logic to me, but I am not a native English-speaker so you might just disregard this.)

Great!

I found the new build and downloaded it.

Super, it solved my problem, now I can give permission to this person to upload the images.

BUT!, I found something that you might consider to change for the final release.

If a user has Edit permissions, the settings for "Allow edit users to change folder path?" and "Allow edit users to upload?" is not really of much use, since the user actually can change these settings and because of this can grant himself these privileges if he did not have them before. I am sure that this is not what you intended, right?
