[monoslideshow] Flash Gallery Monoslideshow

Monoslideshow 2 http://www.monoslideshow.com is one of the best flash slideshows i have ever seen.
Only disadvantage: it costs 25 EUR, but you can use it on as many web sites as you want.

This extension allows you to create flash galleries with the flash gallery Monoslideshow 2.
A first version can be found here: http://www.typolight.org/extension-list ... ow.en.html

• ATTENTION: FLASH FILE IS NOT PART OF THE PACKAGE!![/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• Full support of meta.txt![/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• You can find a first demo page here: http://www.levelseven.at/typolight-mono ... ow-en.html[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• Styling of your slideshow is done via Monoslideshow generator (see below). The generated XML file will be used in your TYPOlight template file.[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• Monoslideshow's multigallery feature is supported.[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• Monoslideshow version 1.x is not supported![/*:m:3kzdh4gl]

You need a licensed copy of Monoslideshow (25 EUR):

• buy your copy here: http://www.monoslideshow.com[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• copy monoslideshow.swf to /system/modules/monoslideshow/monoslideshow.swf[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]

Please don't give bad ratings just because no licensed version of Monoslideshow comes with this module!

To change the look and feel of the slideshow:

• go to http://www.monoslideshow.com/demo[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• customize the look and feel of Monoslideshow[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• export the config via "GET XML" button[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• create a new TYPOlight template starting with "monoslideshow_"[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]
• replace the content of the new template with the downloaded XML file[/*:m:3kzdh4gl]

Good works

Hi Oliver,

just included this extension adn works fine.

Is there any plan or idea how to add a monoslideshow to a news entry?

I'm running into problems with the extension, where the frontend Flash file says "No images found in .XML-File." I though the issue might be because TYPOlight is installed in a subfolder. For instance, my site is at http://www.domain.com/folder/. I checked the XML file and it shows the image paths as /tl_files/slideshow/image_1.jpg. I manually changed it to by /folder/tl_files/slideshow/image_1.jpg but it didn't fix the issue.

The only other issue I can see is that there are several extra tags wrapping the images near the end of the xml file. For instance it has:

Code:

---

        <contents>
                <album>
<contents>
<image ...>
<image ...>
</contents>
</album>

        </contents>
</album>

hi michael,

i did not have plans to add monoslideshow to news entries but it's a great idea which
i have just put on my todo list.

oliver

hi ben,

before i start making changes to extension, we need a working XML for your site. after you have manually changed your XML file, please right click in the flash file (frontent) and use flash settings to clear your cache. reload the page.
it it works, please email your original XML file to hauser@levelseven.at.

thx
oliver

Oliver,

I did clear cache, so I don't that is the problem. I have mailed you the XML file.

hi all,
just to let you know, i have solved the issue with ben's help:
you have to use the latest version of the flash file from http://www.monoslideshow.com.
my extension only supports the curent version 2, and not the older 1.x.

the second issue we found, with TYPOlight installations in subdirectories, will be uploaded to the extension repository later this week.

Thanks for all your hard work on this Oliver! You've built a really great module. I wish I'd thought sooner to tell you what version of monoslideshow I was using. I didn't actually realize that version 2 was out.

thank you for your feedback.

It just says: slideshow doesn't contain any items.
Images get displayed fine.

The .de forum is down.

thx for the input, flv is at the moment not supportet, i will implement it for the next version of the extension.
oliver
