Slideshow demensions

[mduff1]

I have added a slideshow to my homepage (images.awaywego.org), but the script window is bigger than the images, so there is a big grey background that my slideshow is on.

How do I get rid of the big grey script backgroup behind my slideshow pics?

Add this to your CSS.

#bioBox {background: none;}

[mduff1]

Add this to your CSS.

#bioBox {background: none;}

That worked! Thank you.

How do I center the slideshow so it's in the middle of my page?

Disable or remove the first one and add the second.

/*
#userBio {
width: 550px;
display: inline;
float: left;
position: relative;
}
*/
#userBio {text-align: center;}

/*

}
*/
#userBio {text-align: center;}

Sorry to jump in here, but I'm having the same issue. My slideshow insists on being on the left side of the page! So to make it stay in the center, I add the above code where? :dunno

Welcome to Dgrin :wave

This would go in your CSS. Without your site link though, have no way to
check if it works.

#userBio {text-align: center;}

Might need to add the !important.

#userBio {text-align: center !important;}

I guess that would help wouldn't it. photobum.smugmug.com

Go to the photo and under "photo tools" select "feature photo" for the thumb
you want representing that gallery.

Hello,
Thank you for the pointer to center the slideshow. I added the following to CSS, and the slideshow still isn't centered. Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? My URL is www.fluiddesignsphoto.com (http://www.fluiddesignsphoto.com).

#userBio {text-align: center !important;}

Also, I'm wondering why my slideshow doesn't smoothly transition between photos? And is it normal for when the slideshow first loads that a white bar shows briefly? How do I control the amount of space between teh header and the top of the slideshow?


thanks ;)

Susan Change the b to cap B in this.

#userBio {text-align: center !important;} /*centers the slideshow in the bio box*/

You have a problem with your homepage slideshow. It has my cpu running at 100%. You might
have some errors in our javascript.

[fluiddesigns]

Wow, you're fast! That resolved the center issue. I also found the issue causing the slideshow to not transition smoothly: old slideshow code in the javascript box. Thanks!

There still is something wrong, my cpu runs between 96 and 100% on your homepage.

[fluiddesigns]

There still is something wrong, my cpu runs between 96 and 100% on your homepage.

I've combed through the code trying to figure out what the issue is, removing all old code. I also went through and resized my photos down to jpg small to make sure that wasn't the issue and still have the same perf issue. Can you point me to what the issue may be? I followed the slideshow tutorial to the t, so not sure where the issue is.

Thanks, :)

Are you seeing the same thing? I right click the start bar and click Task
Manager" and look at the Performance tab.
I would think it has to do with some script running, not the photos on your site.

Using WebDev I changed your show buttons to true and paused the show
but didn't help. Then disabled <em bed with a space in the generated code
and the memory usage dropped to normal. So it's the embeded object that's
messing things.

I then changed the album number to one of mine and it run with the same 100%
memory usage.

For the show experts, get this in Firebug console.

Thanks Allen for the pointers! Yes, i'm getting the same thing when i go to task manager and the performance is going between 50% and 100%. Eventually, it locks up IE and IE crashes. Definite issue.

I'm don't have a deep understanding of this code, but from what i can gather i used the embedded object that the slideshow tutorial told me to use. I'm not using any custom code in the slideshow. So, what i don't understand is why i'm having these performance issues while other folks who use the slideshow aren't running into these issues?

Thanks again :)

I've asked Jimmy / Shizam for help

Apparently there is a bug with setting splash in the ssConfig variable for the slideshow code. Turns out that it cannot be set to blank and needs to point to an actual image. Once that was set, the perf issue went away. :thumb I do not know where the slideshow code lives, otherwise I would track down this issue and see what is causing it. I would imagine it is some conditional statement issue.

[fluiddesigns]

Sweet! Thanks everyone for your help! My homepage is running much more smoothly now!

[James S]

For lack of starting another thread. When I upload new photos to my slideshow gallery why are the new photos I just uploaded not showing up in the slideshow?

You are running the old non-supported slideshow and because of the security
changes any new photos will not run. Switch to the new show and they will all
run. Take a look here (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/3624147) for the new show.

[James S]

I was going to switch the slideshow eventually. Guess this is a good excuse to go ahead and do that. Maybe tomorrow. Hopefuly not too much work to switch it.

Thanks for the reply.

Allen, thank you for all of your help!

Disable or remove the first one and add the second.

/*
#userBio {
width: 550px;
display: inline;
float: left;
position: relative;
}
*/
#userBio {text-align: center;}

I've got the same problem about my slideshow not being centered. I'm sorry -- I'm a little dense about this -- are you saying that the code above does the disable/remove and addition or is there something I need to do to disable/remove the first -- and by disable/remove the first, you mean the first Bio box? Thanks
