Yes, in theory. But it’s not tested.

I’ll add this to the to-do list for the next version, but due to some stuff I’ve got going on for the next bit, my target for the next release is around mid-October. * If you’d like to have this functionality before then, it shouldn’t be too hard to hack something together in the interim. Where you’d want to look is lines 155 to 171 of simpleslider.php, to change the value of $resp that’s generated in that section. * Thanks for the feedback, it’s much appreciated. * Dan * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] No image transition](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/#post-2211151) * Ah, I think I see the problem here – Simple Slideshow doesn’t have an auto-advance feature. It exists in the underlying Cycle plugin, but I haven’t yet gotten around to exposing that to the WordPress plugin; it’s on my to-do list for the next version. Is this (auto-advancing images every X seconds) the functionality you’re looking for? * The `transition_speed` property is adjusting how long the animation to transition between slides takes – a low number will make it a very fast fade, a high number will make it a very gradual one. But in either case, this fade won’t start until the user clicks “Next” or “Previous”. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] [Plugin: Simple Slideshow] Controlling image size — NOT A DUPLICATE](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slideshow-controlling-image-size-not-a-duplicate/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slideshow-controlling-image-size-not-a-duplicate/#post-2263919) * For the first issue, this is a WordPress quirk. WP generates all the resized images (the “thumbnail” and “medium” ones) at the time you upload the images, using the sizes specified at that point in time. If you subsequently change the size of those presets in Settings/Media, the change will only impact images that are uploaded after the change has been saved. To retroactively apply it, you need to regenerate the image thumbnails. This [plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/) looks like it will do so, but I haven’t tried it. * For the second, I’m guessing that the large-sized images you’ve got in the slideshow have differing heights. Cycle needs to work inside a fixed-size container, so we use the height of the tallest image for this container – the side effect being that for all the images that aren’t the same height as the tallest one, there will be more space to make up the missing height. Does this sounds applicable? * Dan * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] [Plugin: Simple Slideshow] Click-thru to large version of images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slideshow-click-thru-to-large-version-of-images/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slideshow-click-thru-to-large-version-of-images/#post-2263915) * It’s a bug – the version of Cycle Lite that shipped with version 1.0 of Simple Slideshow didn’t handle this properly. If you update to version 1.1 of Simple Slideshow, this will be fixed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] Different transitions?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-transitions/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-transitions/#post-2241220) * **Update:** With version 1.1 of Simple Slideshow, this is now possible. In the Settings menu, set the Cycle Version to “All”, and then pass the `transition` attribute to scrollHorz (eg. `[simple_slideshow transition="scrollHorz"]`). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] No image transition](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/#post-2211147) * Ah, I see what you mean. Aside from the transitions not working, there are some other bits in there that aren’t doing what they should. * I’ve just pushed out version 1.1 of the plugin, which means it should show up as an available update within an hour or so. Update to that (which also updates the version of Cycle Lite, the plugin that does the magic) and then we’ll take another look at it. I have a hunch this will fix it, but if not, I’ll keep digging. * Dan * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] No image transition](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/#post-2211145) * Steve, * That’s a documentation mistake – it should be `transition_speed`. As for it not working, do you have a demo page where you’ve got the plugin running I can take a look at? * Thanks, * Dan * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] Different transitions?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-transitions/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-transitions/#post-2241063) * Thomas, * As it currently stands, you can’t – the script loads only jQuery Cycle Lite, which doesn’t have any other transitions. Doing a version that loads the full Cycle has plugin is on my to-do list, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. * In the meantime, it _should_ be pretty simple for you to hack it up so that you can use the full Cycle plugin. Try the following: 1. In _simpleslider.js_, insert a line after line 11 (which currently says `t_show. cycle({`) that says `fx: 'scrollHorz',` (or whichever transition you want to use). 2. In _simpleslider.php_, remove lines 47-49, and replace them with `wp_register_script(' jquery-cycle', 'http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery.cycle/2.88/jquery.cycle. all.min.js', array('jquery'), null, false );`_ * I haven’t tested this, but it should work. * If it doesn’t, post some feedback here and I’ll try and help you work through it. * Thanks, * Dan * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Simple Slideshow] No image transition](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/) * Plugin Author [dlanger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlanger/) * (@dlanger) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-image-transition/#post-2211088) * Hi Paula, * When I visit that page, the images seem to transition fine. If you’re looking for a more pronounced effect of one image fading into another, try upping the value for `transition_speed` (either as a default in the Administration menu, or by adding `transition_speed="1000"` to the shortcode you’ve inserted (so it looks something like `[simple_slideshow transition_speed="1000"]`). * Does this help? * Thanks, * Dan Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total)
