Enkidu Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 HI Mario there is a place where you can put an alternative contents for flashless people. I will be looking at a way to fall back to JS slider if the user don't have flash player :) cheers
Mario Thomas Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Hi Enkidu (why did I call you Endeku? god knows) That good be brilliant.... most templates designers try to built their sliders flashless... I think HTML5 and jquery is the way to go, more now since Apple got so so so so big... Cheers
Enkidu Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 even Windows 8 Metro doesn't support flash. but Adobe doesn't seem to be threatened so why should I?
Mario Thomas Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 By the way... I discovered you have also a jquery slider ;) What is the difference between this flash rotator and the jquery slider?
Enkidu Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 By the way... I discovered you have also a jquery slider :wink: What is the difference between this flash rotator and the jquery slider? yes I just ported nivo slider to IPC. Now what is the difference? 1- a flash slider is better in terms of "eye-candy" but it's poor in terms of SEO as Google cannot read or understand what's inside the flash object. 2- jQuery slider has wider supported platforms but you can only use it to slide images whereas the Flash slider can be used to slide videos as well so it's up to you. We don't normally design our websites for bots but rather for humans. So if my audience are more oriented towards eye candy stuff then a flash slider is the way to go but if you're audience are apple fans and they all lack the ability to speak-flash then go with JS slider. It depends as you see and there is no one answer :smile:
Mario Thomas Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 if you're audience are apple fans and they all lack the ability to speak-flash then go with JS slider. jajajaja good stuff... :rofl: Thanks for the explanation... I see you remember :laugh:
Andrej Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Is there a way to make it appear the same size on all resolution levels? That's my biggest issue I have had is I do all my work on a certain resolution and alot of users have smaller settings so things appear way bigger than they do to me and if I make the slider smaller it just leaves empty space in bigger resolutions if that makes sense. Kind of an overall issue I am having with IPC actually and using things like 1x2x2 layout for articles in such but thats another subject lol.
Enkidu Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 Hiya IPB 3.2 defines a min-width. You can set that to just width so you have a fixed width rather than fluid/semi-fluid :) I can help you with that if you like :)
cyberwhite Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Love this but am having a slight problem. Mine doesn't seem to move on from the first slide, it just repeats the first one over and over.
cyberwhite Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I've sorted this out I think, after changing the default slides to images of my own it worked, thanks Enkidu :)
Enkidu Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 glad to hear that. this usually happens if you link to something that doesn't exist :) thanks
cyberwhite Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I'm just thinking now that it was the video that was causing it, it's added in the slides but it's not included in the download?
Enkidu Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 yeah the size of it was way larger than the 2MB limit I'm allowed to upload so I left the source field empty. if the source field is empty then you won't have any issue.
ZakRhyno Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Hello Enkidu thanks for a great slider. I wanted to know where in the code can I span an image in the background. I try to use this. <div style='position:relative;'> <img src='{parse block="ipcontent_files"}/slider_background_image.gif' style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:100%;"> Here the block code. <snip> thanks for any help you can give.
Enkidu Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Hi Zak first there is no need to post the content of a paid block to the public ;) second, I'm not quite sure what you want to accomplish here. Can you elaborate please (maybe an image would make me understand better?) thanks :)
ZakRhyno Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Oopss! My apologies Enkidu and thanks AndyF for fixing that. Pretty much I'm trying to put an image that spans behind the sliders in the background of the slider. Does that help?
Enkidu Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 you can define the background colors of the slider but not an image. it won't work ... sorry :)
ZakRhyno Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I'm trying to span an image behind the whole slider. NOT the slider itself.
Enkidu Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 in this case it you can use the background-image CSS property. if you can show me the page where you want it set, I may be able to help you.
ZakRhyno Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Sent you a note showing the page in working sample of what I'm talking about.
ZakRhyno Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Problem fix with Enkidu's help, thanks for the aid. Great mod.
ZakRhyno Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Oops forgot to ask, what is the full display size of the area so I can make a background image to span across it ?
Enkidu Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 you can configure that in the piecemaker settings. But remember that the flash object needs +100 pixels padding on top of your width and height. So if you set the width to 900 and height to 400, then the overall width is: 1000 pixels and the height is 500 pixels hope this helps cheers :)
