Not yet, I’m sorry. In version 2.2.0 the slideshow’s height will be relative to the slideshow’s width. You’ll then be able to give your slideshow a resolution like ’16:9′.
I’m hoping to release version 2.2.0 either at the end of this month (January 2013) or some time next month.
Hey Stefan,
Hoping to catch you online…
Can a person click on an image in the slideshow to open a lightbox? Is there any code for that?
Hi,
The Slideshow plugin doesn’t officially support using a lightbox yet, but it’s possible to adapt a line of code so you can. The only disadvantage is that you shouldn’t update the plugin afterwards, since you’ll lose the changes to it.
If you’ve activated a plugin like this one, look up ‘wp-content/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/views/SlideshowPlugin/slideshow.php’ and at line 105 you can add ‘rel="lightbox"
‘ to the ‘<a>
‘ tag to make the image pop up as lightbox. The change will make the line look like this:
<a <?php if(!empty($url)) echo 'href="' . $url . '"'; ?> <?php if(!empty($target)) echo 'target="' . $target . '"'; ?> rel="lightbox">
Best regards,
Stefan
Thanks Stefan – I will try this!
If I wanted to hardcode in a relative height for the time being where would you suggest I do that in the php?
I’m sorry, hardcoding a relative height in the current set-up of the plugin wouldn’t be an easy change.
You could try to change lines 1, 2, 28, 59 and 98 in the aforementioned file to always have a height of 100%, but you’ll then need to give every element that’s containing the slideshow a fixed height to make it appear as if the height is variable. This isn’t ideal though.
