MiniSlides - replacement for MiniSlider

[Ruud]

Hello community,

I just released v 1.0 of my new MiniSlides module.
It is meant to be a replacement for the old MiniSlider module.

Download: https://dev4me.com/modules-snippets/opensource/minislides/
Demo's: https://dev4me.com/modules-snippets/opensource/minislides/demo/

Have fun with it.

If you choose Create square thumbnails: "none"
a error occours in "Current Images" (after upload and Refresh images);

"Cropping /var/www/.../media/slides/1252/thumbs/bild1.jpg > none
There was an uncatched exception
 Division by zero
 in line (124) of (/modules/minislides/functions.php):"

Thank you SO much again Ruud! It is really great that you keep creating modules to make WB even better every time. I love the cover flow Business is slow right now, but the next project with your modules will mean another donation for sure!

Hi Ruud,

and thank you very much for this module.
However, when I try to add a MiniSlides-section, I get this error message:

"There was an uncatched exception
Class 'Template' not found
in line (30) of (/modules/minislides/modify.php)"

Any idea, what's causing this?
I'm running WebsiteBaker 2.13.2.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
VSG

This is a WB 2.13 thing.
Add to modify.php as first line (below the comment area):

Code: [Select]

use vendor\phplib\Template;

Perfect, thanks!

Hi Ruud,

now that I've been able to test the module, I have to say I love the simplicity and and the design!
But I don't understand how captions are supposed to work. The Text I put in the "Description"-field is displayed above the slider (all lines at once). Is that what it is supposed to do?
With MiniSlider it was possible to add a caption for each image (one line for each image).

Am I doing something wrong or is such a feature possible or planned for the future?

Thanks for your effort and best regards,
VSG

[Ruud]

The title and description are used as text/content output above the slider..
The captions are set in the "Current Images".
Click the green pencil icon to set the captions.



Use CSS (frontend.css) to position/style the captions as you like.

Updated the module (v1.0.3) with a fix for the Template problems. Working on WB2.13 but also on previous versions.

The better solution, and thus also compatible with the fork, is what Ruud might be willing to implement like this
Insert the following line before the new template

Code: [Select]

if (!class_exists('Template')){require WB_PATH.'/include/phplib/template.inc';}
This should also work for other 3 part modules if the error occurs.

our template.inc is quasi an adaptor to our php lib class

And sorry for the late information about the changes in WB 2.13.2

An error has popped up when editing the captions on images. Here's what I did:

Clicked on the green pencil to add a caption, and clicked on Save' in the pop-up.
Decided now to remove the captions in the same way, but when clicking 'Save', the captions remain.
I can edit the captions and the new description saves.
Deleting the caption completely (leaving an empty caption field) is not working.

Seanie.

Confirmed.
Try to replace your text with a hyphen and save that. For me the caption was gone.

The hyphen worked! I tried fullstop '.' and other symbols, but not the hyphen. The hyphen works.

Many thanks!
Seanie.

[dbs]

Fun fact, the hyphen was my first try. 

[Ruud]

Sorry about not telling this anywhere.
I now added this as a tip on my website

[hgs]

Thank you Ruud

Is a fix planned?

[Ruud]

Is a fix planned?

No, not really.
If I remember correctly the (sweetalert) popup script also sends an empty input value when the cancel is clicked. So in effect cancel would clear the caption.
This workaround at least allows to clear it only when you want to do that.

I just found out, that this problem only appears in firefox.

[sternchen8875]

cannot confirm this - do you use a older jquery-version?
