Module for MiniSlide Show integration

MiniSlide Show is a flash based slideshow with support for Gallery 3 (that I've seen mentioned on the forums a couple of times). This module will allow you to display the slideshow within Gallery 3. Example:
[img]http://codex.gallery2.org/images/c/c1/Minislideshowmodule.jpg[/img]

Please be aware that:
- This module has been tested against git only and will most likely not work with Beta 2.
- The actual flash slideshow is not included with the module. You will need to download and install it separately (see the above link).
- The slideshow works in conjunction with the RSS module. If you want it to display more then the first 20 photos in an album, you'll need to modify the RSS module.

Is this different enough? I'm not really sure what else to make a slideshow button look like.

Are you using Gallery 3 Beta 2 or Experimental? If you're using Beta 2, you'll need to upgrade to the expermintal version:
FAQ: How do I upgrade?

Sorry, read this as will work with beta2 only - duh!

I have not spent much time with G3, I really should take a look.

Thanks for this great module. I have some questions though...
- I like to have a bigger modal dialog box. I tried changing the embedded size in minislideshow_dialog.html.php but that only changes the image size displayed within the dialog. Where can I change the modal dialog box size?
- Is it possible to have the minislideshow start up in fullscreen mode?

Hi rWatcher:
Thank you so much for your work.

I have tried to place the embed codes in the album pages, expecting the album pages to show the slide automatically when openned.
How should I get the album item number for xml in the embed codes?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you rWatcher.
I mean, Is there any method to pass the variable ALBUM_ID_NUMBER into the embed code, so that every album can be openned with the slideshow automatically?

There is also a handy form for embedding the mini.

rWatcher:

Thank you very much!

$theme->item->id works.

I m a php beginner.Thank you again for your help.

Thanks for your great minislideshow and hard work.

I have a question and need help:

I have modified the rss module to make xml items be ordered by upadteDate, but items in minislideshow seem still shown in a random order.

Thank you rWatcher.

Hi,
Is there a way please, of inserting code in "minislideshow_dialog.html.php" in order for an mp3 file to play automatically on starting a slideshow in an album,
Thanks,
Ken

Thanks for the response. As laou99 asked "Is there any method to pass the variable ALBUM_ID_NUMBER into the embed code, so that every album can be openned with the slideshow automatically?"
Can this be done with a sound file please?

I did try the &mp3Url but no sound. The code in "minislideshow_dialog.html.php" contains no & and the whole code is repeated using " around everything. I presume I needed to change both.

I have a minislideshow in my gallery root feeding 2 drupal sites and am putting this minislideshow.swf as the address for the minislideshow module in the modules file. Will this have an effect on the this module's performance,
Thanks,
Ken

I've never used the minislideshow module for G3, so I cannot advise on passing extra variables.
But...
As of mini 3.0.1 there is an external javascript function that gets fired when the mini has finished loading and ready to play.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function onMiniSlideShowReady(){
        // Do something...
    }
</script>

So we could have that function load up some audio via html5's great new audio tag:

/**
 * @author suprsidr
 */
function onMiniSlideShowReady(){
    var audio = document.createElement('audio');
    audio.setAttribute('autoplay', true);
    audio.setAttribute('controls', true);
    
    var src1 = document.createElement('source');
    src1.setAttribute('src', 'http://www.flashyourweb.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=44493&g2_serialNumber=2');
    src1.setAttribute('type', 'audio/ogg');
    
    var src2 = document.createElement('source');
    src2.setAttribute('src', 'http://www.flashyourweb.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=44478&g2_serialNumber=2');
    src2.setAttribute('type', 'audio/mpeg');
    
    audio.appendChild(src1);
    audio.appendChild(src2);
    
    document.querySelector('body').appendChild(audio);
}

• We create an audio element: document.createElement('audio') and set a few attributes
• Then we create a couple of source elements document.createElement('source') browser support varies for different audio formats, so you should provide at least 2 - mp3 and ogg cover most of the field.
• then we append our sources to the audio and the audio to some display element like <body /> : document.querySelector('body').appendChild(audio)

Whalah!
example <- please use a modern browser as crappy 'ol IE<9 does not cut it.

Of course there are other advisable steps like testing for html5 audio support and providing a fallback, so if yer interested in that check out my other html5 audio examples.

Hi,
Tried to implement the code suprsidr supplied but now confess I haven't a clue what to do with it. I have upgraded minisldeshow to 3.0.1.

I did however,insert the code below in minislideshow which gave me an item on the settings form to insert an mp3Url. If I give the exact address of an mp3 file it will now play it.
I may be asking the impossible but would it be possible to enable the audio particular to an album to play as does the slideshow on clicking the button.

I inserted in;- modules/minislideshow/comtrollers/admin_minislideshow.php
$str_slideshow_mp3Url = Input::instance()->post("mp3Url");
module::set_var("minislideshow", "mp3Url", $str_slideshow_mp3Url);
at line 64
$group_slideshow_settings->input("mp3Url")
->label(t("mp3Url:"))
->value(module::get_var("minislideshow", "mp3Url"));
at line 122

and into;- modules/minislideshow/comtrollers/minislideshow.php
if (module::get_var("minislideshow", "mp3Url") != "") {
$slideshow_params = $slideshow_params . "&mp3Url=" . module::get_var("minislideshow", "mp3Url"
}
at line 66
Thanks again,
Ken

Hi,
Not sure that would help. I maybe need to explain properly. As can be seen by the link;- http://talkingwalk.com/gallerywalk/TALK-AND-WALK/KEN-ENNION/Wetherlam , the audio and photos are in the same album. The intention is a commentary while the slideshow shows. Other albums have different audio and photos so what I'm trying to achieve is, on clicking the slideshow button, both audio and slideshow will start relevant to whatever album is opened.

It seems that the slideshow respnds to "url::site("rss/feed/gallery/album/" . $item_id". Don't know if something similar to the "item_id" is possible for the audio. Am I asking the impossible?
Thanks,
Ken

That was quick, thanks. All things were possible once upon a time then!
Have been trying the code in modules/minislideshow/controllers/minislideshow.php as per below (and all sorts of other combinations)but can't make it happen. It still works sticking the Url onto the form.

if (module::get_var("minislideshow", "mp3Url") != ""){
$slideshow_params = $slideshow_params . "&mp3Url=" . isset($audioArray[$item_id])?$audioArray[$item_id]:'';

$audioArray = array(
// format: 'album id' => 'url to audio'
'4838' => 'http://talkingwalk.com/gallerywalk/var/albums/TALK AND WALK/KEN ENNION/Wetherlam/Wetherlam.mp3',
'6' => 'http://mysite.com/my_audio6.mp3',
'8' => 'http://mysite.com/my_audio8.mp3',
'14' => 'http://mysite.com/my_audio14.mp3',
'16' => 'http://mysite.com/my_audio16.mp3',
'22' => 'http://mysite.com/my_audio22.mp3'

);

}
$view->slideshow_params = $slideshow_params;

// Display the slideshow.
print $view;
}
}

Am I doing something wrong?
If we can make it work for me to use great. My problem would then be if and when a registered user wants to do it but I'll cross that bridge if it happens,

hi,
The mp3Url is self explanatory but can, for instance, .wav be added,
Thanks,

Really pleased with the results on my computer but on using 2 other computers I find that the minislideshow hangs with "Loading 1/0". Have latest Flash, Mozilla and IE8. Been trying to solve this for some time with no success so, apologies for coming back yet again and hope you can help,

I just rewrote minislideshow_dialog.html.php to utilize gallery3's swfobject to embed the mini.
This may help your issue. If not pass me a link to offending album.

Sorry, works fine on all six of my PCs including my netbook and crappy mac.
I cannot diagnose an issue I cannot see.

Can those browsers view the feed: http://talkingwalk.com/gallerywalk/rss/feed/gallery/album/4838

Have you tried uninstalling flash and re-installing?
