Monosildeshow for NextGEN Gallery

25Apr10

On request of the author I added a new addon plugin for NextGEN Gallery and Monoslideshow. It’s a flash based slideshow with amazing transition effects and more over you can customize the slideshow in nearly all aspects. I’ve added a option to replace the default slideshow of NextGEN Gallery, so you didn’t need to update your posts/pages. It’s currently in a late beta stage, where not all features ready (Custom presets), but you can work with it if you have owned the Monoslideshow. Leave a comment if you have a good idea what should be added to the plugin.

See here for a demo.

    Is it me or do you have to buy monoslide?

  2. Gravatar Icon 2 alex.rabe Posted April 25th, 2010 - 12:46

    Yes, you need to buy the player. Just to clarify : I do NOT get any money and not in any buisness relationship with the creator. It’s just a alternative player to JW Imagerotator…

    Are you using version 1 or version 2 of monoslideshow? I own version 1, but it doesn’t work.

    Me too, I used version 1, it didn’t work. “No image in .XML files”, I try many way but can’t used it .

    Hi, I bought monoslideshow and installed your add ons..well it’s great! everything working well and smooth..just one question is there an easy way to set up the full screen mode?

  9. Gravatar Icon 9 Eva Posted April 29th, 2010 - 05:06

    I too purchased monoslideshow – and it is working fine. however I installed Monoslideshow in WordPress and added the script provided in the manual to remove the logo to my header code. I tried it several ways but I still get the logo in the first screen: http://www.miamicakemonograms.com/home/ – I don’t know if the instructions are any different for WordPress.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

  10. Gravatar Icon 10 Dirk Posted April 30th, 2010 - 11:45

    I need your help!

    How can I do disabling the start up logo at the beginning of the animation?

  11. Gravatar Icon 11 andrea Posted May 3rd, 2010 - 11:51

    But is the monoslide showing random order only of your gallery ?

  12. Gravatar Icon 12 frank Posted May 3rd, 2010 - 12:02

    I cannot find how to give order to the gallery too!

    THis plugin is great but i got mad to fix a proper way to show images for a photographer website as they want a perfect resolution. Some images were cutting with effects slideshow…so I think there is the need to better cusotmize the coordinates of images moving wihtin the frame….

  14. Gravatar Icon 14 Joe Posted May 11th, 2010 - 15:35

    Is there a way to remove the filename showing up when you change the settings for the plugin “Show caption / image description”?

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 Triphoss Posted May 15th, 2010 - 07:33

    I have been messing with a lot of gallery plug ins. it this one really worth $30 just to try?

    I am not an experienced programmer, so ease of use is key, i couldn’t ever get the JW imagerotater to install correctly, and i want a slide show effect

    Hi Alex,

    how can I use my customized monoslideshow xml file with next-gen gallery? Where to upload it and how to switch on?
    Many thanks,

  17. Gravatar Icon 17 47songs Posted May 21st, 2010 - 21:08

    So many questions I have.

    Is it possible to use the options panel that monoslideshow has available on it’s website? Looks like it would be easier by updating the xml file online, generating it online and then copy and pasted into the xml file. But the nextgen xml file is a php file – correct? So it has different properties than the regular xml file that monoslideshow has? Do they interact with each other or do we have to do all our customizations at wordpress through nextgen?

    Thanks for any answers you have,
    Donna

    Hi Alex, great job on the monoslide plugin. Keep it up…

    But i am missing one thing: The album view: It doesn’t work…..

    I know it’s possible to open the slideshow and then to show the different albums. People select an album and then that slideshow starts…….

    I have multiple album and galleries but the album navigation button (arrow up) stays greyed-out and is not clickable.

    Can you help me with this ?

    Thanx upfront

    monosildeshow ist zwar sehr gut. aber ich benutzen es doch nicht,weil es nicht Frei ist.

  21. Gravatar Icon 21 Bart Posted June 27th, 2010 - 23:17

    Wow… Great plugin! Thanks a lot…

    Hi I noticed a bug that may cause a background color flicker of a split second before the animation is started. The background color should be a parameter instead of a attribute. This is confirmed by the creator of Monoslideshow.

    $swf->add_params(‘bgColor’, $options['backgroundColor'], ”, ‘string’, ‘#’);
    //$swf->add_attributes(‘bgColor’, $options['backgroundColor'], ”, ‘string’, ‘#’);

  23. Gravatar Icon 23 dyke Posted July 1st, 2010 - 10:19

    The bug mentioned above is noticeable when you don’t (want to) use wmode transparent or opague.

  24. Gravatar Icon 24 dyke Posted July 1st, 2010 - 10:20

    great plugin btw :)

  25. Gravatar Icon 25 dyke Posted July 1st, 2010 - 10:26

    I’m not sure but I think either opague or transparent mode is being used by the plugin instead of ‘normal mode’. I’d like this as an option.

  26. Gravatar Icon 26 Marujobhz Posted July 29th, 2010 - 17:34

    i need to use inside php page… what is the code to do it? like “Does it work with nggtags also?”. thanks

  28. Gravatar Icon 28 Marujobhz Posted July 29th, 2010 - 22:08

    No image in .XML files

    this is because you use a old version of monoslideshow.

    Buy or upgrade to the new version 216. This worked for me.
