[Plugin: ShowTime Slideshow] problems and questions

hello ovidiu, sorry, for the late reply… it is not being stripped, this last div is for the alternative content, e.g. no flash player.
However, I found the problem is that for some reason the display property for the script on your site is set to none.
Replace the content of /showtime /showtime.class.php with this: (will be fixed in next release)

<?php

class wordpress_showtime_slideshow {
	var $gid = 0;

	function wp_gallery_st_shortcut($attr, $type) {
		global $post;
		global $wp_version;
		global $stOptions;

		$attributes = $attr;

		if ( $type )
			$slide = 1;
		else
			$slide = 0;

		$height = get_option( 'st_height' );
		$width = get_option( 'st_width' );
		$transition = get_option( 'st_transition' );
		$transitiontime = get_option( 'st_transitiontime' );
		$transitionease = get_option( 'st_easeFunc' ).get_option( 'st_ease' );
		$rotationtime = get_option( 'st_rotatetime' );

		$showcontrols = get_option( 'st_showcontrols' );
		$showtext = get_option( 'st_showtext' );
		$autoplay = get_option( 'st_autoplay' );
		$shuffle = get_option( 'st_shuffle' );
		$scale = get_option( 'st_scalemode' );

		extract(shortcode_atts(array(
			'id'         		=> $post->ID,
			'width'				=> $width,
			'height'         	=> $height,
			'rotationtime'		=> $rotationtime,
			'transition'		=> $transition,
			'transitiontime'	=> $transitiontime,
			'transitionease'	=> $transitionease,
			'autoplay'			=> $autoplay,
			'showcontrols'		=> $showcontrols,
			'showtext'			=> $showtext,
			'shuffle'			=> $shuffle,
			'scale'				=> $scale
		), $attr));

		$id = intval($id);

		if ( function_exists( 'gallery_shortcode' ) ) {
			$gallery = gallery_shortcode( $attributes );
		}

		$this->gid++;

		if ( $slide )
			$output = "

		else

		return $output;
	}

	function checkOn( $string ) {

		if ( $string == "on" || $string == "true" || $string == "yes" ) {

	function encode($x) {
	    return base64_encode(rawurlencode($x));

		return $this->wp_gallery_st_shortcut($attr, 1);
	}

}

hmm, i was looking in the wrong place. just realized that the swfobject script does not get loaded in your header. Which version of WP are you using? did you try changing your Theme?

I love what this plugin has the potential to do, but I’m having an odd problem that I cant seem to figure out.

The plugin is installed and images are displaying, but they are all very blurry and pixelated. The originals are just fine, at 1024 wide (have also tried lower and higher resolutions). The plugin quality setting is set for high.

Any suggestions?

The website (in its testing location) is located at:

Thanks!

@kam.abbott –

images are displaying, but they are all very blurry and pixelated.

not sure if this helps but I had the same issue and corrected it by selecting setting “exact fit”..

I’ve got a question. How do you set the first picture? Im keen for one photo to display first.. but cant seem to figure out how or where to specify which photo shows.. any ideas?
