Integrating "SLIDESHOW" with Luis Borruel HTML?

[andrys]

Hi experts,
need help. I used the above code but instead of the pictures the text beginning with "SLIDESHOW(............ " appears in the box.
Can not find my mistake. Who has an idea.
Regards
from Germany

I asked about this on the first page, knowing that it could be misunderstood.

No, you shouldn't put URLs in, though that's what we're used to doing
for the forums and for our pages.

For the slide show, put in only the ID# of the image, which is often,
for us newer members (since 2003), something like 12345678
- it's the number that comes right after 'image' in the URLs.

it works,
thak you very much Andrys
best regards

There are still heaps of things that need to be changed in this code to connect it back to me. I changed what I could see, but still hadn't done enough which leaves me with links that flick on to Karen's page. Not an option. It's taking me too long to work out.

Are you able to put the code in, and change the colour of what we should change? I'm sure there's others like me who can't get it (never had teaching on html) Eg <TD align=left><IMG src="putyoururlhere" ></TD></TR>

Rolf, glad it's working well for you now.

Kerry, yours seems to be working. I'd recommend deleting the "<br>" coding that forces line breaks at the wrong places. Let the text wrap where it wants in the table you have there.

Thanks for looking Andrys, but please note I have stripped everything and started from scratch.

The slideshow features yes, quite well. But headache time for getting it into a nice place on the page. Nobody here has given any instructions of how to make a table!

For those of you who do need an easy way to balance a table out, please go to this link. They give you examples, have a sheet on the side and you can experiment with their code, click on it and see see if it works. Click onto the "tables" or "table borders" to get examples and coding

As I said it was working fine, and I thought you'd like to know that if
you took out the "<br> at the end of text lines that were producing the
odd line breaks, it'd be even better. If you liked.

Dang/Tom has a few answers about that, though they may be sort of
complicated. I think getting the slideshow function working is #1 focus,
and there are enough who need help with that PBase function alone.

Most of us hesitate to tell people how to do a table if they didn't already
know how, because one wrong thing left out and your page can be
totally screwed up. And most of us don't want responsibility for that or
have time to analyze and edit attempts.

I have HTML tutorials at my own site, which are easy to learn from
and Tables will be usually learned in the 3rd lesson or so. They're at:

That's very good !! Resourcefulness on wanting more than the basic
slideshow will pay off but it takes patience.

Try the following *ONLY* on a <i>Test gallery first</i>

Okay, here's the basic structure use I use, seen at my
http://www.pbase.com/andrys/abtravels page.

This is just for a table that holds PBase's new slideshow and text
alongside it. I won't explain it, because when I did my friends found it
more confusing

If you don't want the border lines showing in the slide-text table,
just change " border=1 " to " border=0 " -- and then no lines will show.

My basic code for the whole slideshow & text table is:
=========================================================
<table cellpadding=16 cellspacing=0 border=1>
<tr>
<td width=51%>SLIDESHOW(slides, size=medium, delay=3)
</td>
<td width=49%>Welcome to ...blah blah blah ....<p>More info .... blah blah blah ...<p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
=========================================================

The "<p>" things are just paragraph-breaks. It's a lot like Microsoft Word formatting.

Again, you can get rid of the border lines if you don't like them,
by changing " border=1 " to " border=0 " instead.

Thank you A, I'm still working on the thing. Line breaks are the least of my worries.

Your table looks great.

Hi... don't know if I'm just being dense here, but all I want to do is put a simple slideshow showing "my favourites" in my root gallery, to show at the top of my "all galleries" page. I don't use Luis's stylesheet, just a standard one. I can get it to work in my other galleries, but not here: http://www.pbase.com/nickythurgar which is where I want it! Haven't seen anything in the forum/FAQ's to suggest it can't be done in the root gallery.... !

Any help appreciated!

Try another style sheet to see if it's something in the style sheet.

The images in the source code are valid. Could it be the borders are a
problem? I'm probably off base, but I do recommend trying another style
sheet to see if something in the one you're using is causing the slideshow
problem.

Or, if you could post exactly how you typed your entry in your
edit_gallery description box, that could help too, but so far it LOOKS
ok.

Hope someone else can help more.

I didn't check the code, but beware when removing the "Pbase Bar" that some of the old ways we did it will cause the slide show not to work. Probably the best way is using the -27 code. Also, as Andrys points out... make sure you fix the sheet inside a different gallery and be sure it works there first. I've found (for some unknown reason) if you try hiding the header bar in the root galllery, it often causes problems. But once a sheet works in a different gallery, it can be transferred and still work. Odd, I know!

[nickythurgar]

Thanks guys! I changed the style sheet & it's now working... shame tho, I liked those borders...

...Also, as Andrys points out... make sure you fix the sheet inside a different gallery and be sure it works there first.

Tom, she had already done that, and it was working in subgalleries with
no problem. I was actually pointing out that she should try another
-style sheet- for the root and perhaps it had something to do with the borders.

(Glad it worked out, Nicky. Sorry about the borders.)

Thank you very much! I just used that table code! http://www.pbase.com/flipmarc/vegas_la_vacation

I'm a total noob in CSS and HTML. Been reading a lot of threads in the last few days.

Well, you sure did a nice job. Glad the table wasn't too hard to use!
I like your stylesheet with its long blue, clear banner title.
