I’m gonna try just one more time, because I don’t think you listened to my first reaction.

When I installed the plugin it created a menu item on my main (top) menu called “Joomla Cloud”. I have a carefully crafted top menu and header. That menu item not only destroyed my header layout, but created an unacceptable billboard linking back to you which I could not modify or remove.

I suggested before a footer link, “Optimized by…” would be acceptable, but do you really expect me to test the plugin with real world traffic with my layout completely destroyed?

I have used many plugins that simply specify the link may be removed upon payment. That’s reasonable and has often led me to purchase the “premium” version.

If you want to simply distribute a premium only plugin why not just put it on Code Canyon?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply, however…

When I installed the plugin it created a menu item named “Joomla Cloud” to my main menu. On your website it claims free version “Contains “Optimized By BHN” Text”.

I really don’t wish to have my main WordPress nav menu advertising and linking to “Joomla Cloud”.

Perhaps a footer link “Optimized By BHN” would be more appropriate for a “free version” and while testing?

I think you are doing a great job and this has great promise, but the menu modification is a bit much for testing prior to purchase, IMHO.

Thank you.

Yes, that’s the idea. Wysija widget allows for simple copy of iframe widget code. I was wondering if you had considered the same.

Thanks!

Replying to my own rambling thoughts…

Short code and div in post:

[jj-ngg-jquery-slider ... afterload="function(){$('#preloader').delay(800).fadeOut(500);}"]

<div id="preloader">
         <img src="./images/loader.jpg" />
</div>

Then define div preloader in nivo-slider.css, something like:

#preloader {
    background:#000;
    position: absolute; z-index:500;
    width:675px;
    height:450px;
    margin-left: 160px;
    margin-top: -470px;
}
#preloader img {
}

This almost works. Actually, it does seem to work on one site, but not another. The positioning of the preloader above is a real kludge. Can’t figure out correct positioning for slider img holder.

The thought is to quickly load an image the same size and position as the slide show images load. Image will fade to first image in slide show when all images are loaded. Loader gif could still be used but, at least, the page would “appear” complete instead of a spinning icon.

Thanks for any input!!

As has been pointed out to me by those much wiser…

The better solution is to use WordPress raw shortcode:

[raw][jj-ngg-jquery-slider title="Hello" gallery="1" html_id="about-slider" width="200" height="150" center="1"][/raw]

Nice stuff!

Just to follow up on my own post…

It appears that the theme I am working with is automagically adding linebreaks (<br />) to the script generated image list. I think this may be the problem. I just can’t figure out (yet) how to tell the theme to stop doing that!

Thanks
