I use the JA Slideshow module on every page. When navigating from page to page, the slideshow mask reloads on every page. This isn’t such a terrible thing, but people with less than a very fast internet connection will see everything on the page load and THEN the slideshow. I want to make it so only what’s below the slideshow reloads. I vaguely remember doing something like this in coppermine and something about a string in the head section.

Site is (new and still being worked on but public) peacechristian dot com.

Thanks

can you possibly make a few copies of the slideshow module….then assign different ones to different pages…

and I think I’m right in saying you can tell each one with which image to start a rotation, so you could start with a different start point or even a totally different set of images

Hmm.. I’ll give it a try, but wouldn’t that give the same result? Meaning, it would still have to load when a new page is loaded. I’m thinking along the lines of somehow including the slideshow in a header script (sort of thing, I’m not sure if I’m correct in my description) so only the information below the slideshow reloads.

Still haven’t come up with a solution. It seems like it’s the last position to load on any page, even just a refresh. Also, it look terrible in IE6. While it’s loading, it displays all available images in the slideshow all blocked up next to each other until it fully loads.

Something isn’t quite right here. I saw this thread and check his/her site. The module doesn’t behave like mine. I could use some help here…I did submit this thread for help with staff.

I submitted a support ticket for both the terrible slideshow loading on IE6 and asked about how to stop the slideshow from reloading on ever page yesterday.

I could possibly understand there being no solution to the slideshow reloading on every page, but the IE6 problem is pretty bad. Wonder how long I’ll have to wait to hear something…

Hi fabrian

Please try to do with my way:

+ Open modulesmod_jaslideshow2assetsja.slideshow2.js file, at about line 42, find following code section:

this.els.setStyles ({'width':this.options.mainWidth, 'height':this.options.mainHeight });

and change to:

this.els.setStyles ({'width':this.options.mainWidth, 'height':this.options.mainHeight , 'display' : 'block'});

– Open templatesja_berylcssja.slideshow2.css file, at about line 18, find following code section:


.ja-slide-item {
display: block;
float: left;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
text-align: right;
}


and change to:


.ja-slide-item {
display: none;
float: left;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
text-align: right;
}

Ok, so after applying your code edits, I see that IE6 doesn’t break into a complete mess with all slideshow images blocking out below the slideshow, so thanks – that seemed to work. It doesn’t load as nice as other browsers, but it’s acceptable.

I don’t see any change with the slideshow not reloading on every page. Was this part of what you were trying to fix?

You didn’t say what exactly your fix was intended to do.

Also, will you update that bit of code in the slideshow2.js file for everything else that contains that module and the extension itself as a standalone?
