Simple Machines Community Forum

A few months ago i was searching for unique codes here in the forums and ran across a slideshow for the aeva photo gallery.
Everything works just fine as illustrated here on my homepage: http://pshomesource.com/home/

But I no longer what the text to show or the thin red line or the view album button to be visible.
In fact I only want the images with nothing more.
How can I remove that ?

http://pshomesource.com/home/slideshow/css/slideshow.css
To remove the red line, edit the above:
.slideshow-captions{background:#000;bottom:0;color:#FFF;left:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;text-indent:0px;text-align:left;width:100%;height:350px;z-index:10000;border-top:solid 4px #980000;}
Remove the last part, so it's this:
.slideshow-captions{background:#000;bottom:0;color:#FFF;left:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;text-indent:0px;text-align:left;width:100%;height:350px;z-index:10000;}I cannot see text or the view album button though.

Actually I want to remove that entire opaque bar underneath the red line so that only the images show without the shaded area whatsoever

Hmm...as a guest, maybe I am not allowed to see what your screen shot is showing. I just see a black area under the red bar with a first/previous/play_pause/next/last button bar. I imagine the code/content is in a block in PortaMx. Using Firebug, I can see you have this in there somehow:
var myShow = new Slideshow('show', data, {captions: true, controller: true, thumbnails: false, delay: 5000, duration: 2000 });Maybe edit that to be:
var myShow = new Slideshow('show', data, {captions: false, controller: false, thumbnails: false, delay: 5000, duration: 2000 });Guessing of course. :)

Wowww...I logged out and as a guest I see the image and the opaque shaded area under the red bar. Theres also a button that says view album to the bottom right thats visible to me even as a guest.

Are you at least able to see the images ?
And that edit seems like it wont remove that entire opaque block that slides in for the next image will it ?
I want the entire thing gone so only the pictures show

I don't see any images at all. I'm using Firefox. Tried in IE8 and Opera, too. Just a black box. Is this the first image?
http://pshomesource.com/home/index.php?action=media;sa=media;in=142

QuoteThe image "http://pshomesource.com/home/index.php?action=media;sa=media;in=142" cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Yup....thats the first (most recent image)...and everyone else sees them ok

Not sure who everyone else is, but not sure it matters. I don't see a Media menu on your site as a guest.
http://pshomesource.com/home/index.php?action=media
That's what I think is the URL to it.

QuoteSorry, but you are not allowed to access the gallery

So that might explain why I am not seeing any images.

In the center block on your home page, what is the code you have in there?

The media button has been renamed to database...let me dig up the code

Whatever it's labeled, guests are not allowed to view/access it, so your home page block should either be restricted to members (or whoever can view the media gallery), or the media gallery should be visible to guests. None of this discussion though will fix the things you may want though. :)

Ok wow...guests were not able to see the media in permissions. I know I had that set correctly asnd I believe my idiot host support fiddled around with some settings last week.
Anyway Ive reset it so guests ARE able to view and I now suspect I was only able to see it after logging out because my browser cached it


heres the PHP code

Sweet. I can see pictures now! :)

Quote/* Other specific settings can be adjusted in: / slideshow / settings.php    */

Can you attach that file?

Maaaan I cant thank you enough for pointing that out...I had no clue guests weren't allowed permission to view the gallery and when they said they "adjusted" some settings, I assumed it was server side.
Thats the 2nd time they've monkeyed around with my admin settings and didnt reset them

No problem, dude. OK, that file didn't have what I thought would be in it, so...mind attaching this one next?
Hmm...never mind. There seems to be some variables that are being set that this file would be overwritten with anyway.
This is the bit that makes the images display, but I'm not sure how based on the code in the block you provided:

That last line has the captions enabled. Might you know how that gets there?

LOL....thats like a BB rattling around in a balloon to me.
I dont have the foggiest...could it be the CSS ?

CSS might be OK, but it would be a lot easier to edit the variables that make that slideshow work. How about this file just for fun?
slideshow/photo_viewer.php

OK server side I glanced at this and noticed something.
text/html my_slideshow.html
HTML document text

Also heres the PHP:

PHP file attached...not sure if this will work or not, but worth a shot.

CSS indeed might work if all else fails...
.slideshow-captions{display:none;}
That did the trick with Firebug...still isn't the "ideal" way, but it should work. :)

OK so that was for the CSS php ?

Try the PHP file first. If that works, you don't need to edit the CSS file. :) If the PHP file doesn't work, the edit to the CSS should.

Ok just as a test I inserted the edit into the CSS and it worked after clearing my browser...So now I'll delete it, and upload the PHP file and see

Wait...before I screw somethin up...is this for the photo_viewer.php or the settings.php ?

photo_viewer.php
:)

We have a WINNER !!!

DING DING DING

Thanks you X infinity !

Thats exactly what I was wanting for months now...Outstanding job !
