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:

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.

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.

thanks for any help you can give.

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 :)
