PROBLEM: Nur der Code {besps}ordner{/besps*} wird angezeigt - Darstellung in Modul
PROBLEM: Nur der Code {besps}ordner{/besps*} wird angezeigt - Darstellung in ModulWird im Frontend keine Slideshow sondern nur der Aufruf - {besps}ordner{/besps*} (ohne Stern) - angezeigt, dann überzeugt man sich zuerst, dass das Plugin auch aktiviert ist! Ist das der Fall, dann liegt das Problem in vielen Fällen darin, dass die Slideshow nicht im Kontext des Hauptinhaltes angezeigt werden soll, sondern an einer Modulposition.
Für Fragen und Anregungen steht die Kommentarfunktion zur Verfügung. Wer die Erweiterung nutzt den bitte ich, sie auf extensions.joomla.org zu bewerten und einen Erfahrungsbericht zu posten. Darüber hinaus freue ich mich über jeden, der die Möglichkeit findet, mich durch einen Link zu www.bretteleben.de auf seiner Webseite zu unterstützen. Das Plugin selbst produziert keine versteckten Links oder sonstige Nettigkeiten welcher Art auch immer.

i love your plugin! but I wonder if there is a possibility to install it twice... this would be great to insert two slideshows in one article... can u help?
Hi Sandy!
There is no need to install multiple instances of the plugin. Show as many slideshows in your article as you want.
{besps}folder1{/besps*} ... (without the asterisk) the first slideshow
{besps}folder2{/besps*} ... (without the asterisk) the second slideshow
{besps}folder1{/besps*} ... (without the asterisk) the first is soo great, let's show it again
... and so on.
If you want to use different settings for those slideshows, have a look at the feature "Parameter Overrides" at the page "Howto Plugin Code".
Best regards

Hi, Love the plugin and ease of use. It was working fine and then suddenly it wont autoplay the photos. I have the controls off and just want it to auto play.It just displays a random slide on every page load and wont proceed to the next.
here's the slideshow
http://www.chicagowolves.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2077
here's the code i am using:
{*besps}0910adopted-dogs{/besps}
[...]
thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
Hi Imran Javed!
I checked your site and I am not sure if the plugin works or not. You set the time between two slides to 10000 seconds (nearly 3 hours) and I confess, I didn't had the time to wait for the first slide to happen :)
Best regards
Andreas

Hi Chris!
To prevent the image file name from getting shown as tooltip, set an empty default caption for the slideshow (no need to enbale captions, it works anyway). Have a look at the page ""Howto Plugin Code", C) Captions. The code is used in addition to the initial call.
Sample (without the asterisks): {*besps}0|||{/besps}
Best regards

I have inserted the following code on my website and the slideshow works, but the rollover/tool tip text is still showing the file name of each photo. My site is www.ontheruncaninecenter.com to see what I am talking about. Slideshow is right on the homepage.
Hi Denise!
I am sorry, but I have given you a wrong advice! The code for an empty default caption (for the first slideshow in an article) of course is {*besps_c}0|||{/besps_c} (without the asterisk). No excuse because I should know it better - I have coded it.

I installed this awesome plugin today, then noticed that it shows the file name when I have my mouse hovering over the slideshow area. I see the comments about this within this forum, but am confused how I would use {*besps}0|||{/besps} with the code I need to make it run, {*besps}simpleslideshow{/besps}. How do I have all of it working together? I have tried several versions of the code and cannot get it to work. Thank you very much!

Hi Mirza!
I have heard about this problem already (once or twice up till now), but due to the fact that this is not not a problem of the plugin itself but a problem with the function filemtime on your webserver there is no real solution to this At least my online search about this problem did not point me to such a solution. In most cases the ways to solve it are bound to the ability to modify serverside (talking about the webserver) settings/configurations.
I would suggest to sort the image by alphabet instead of age.

Dear Support,
How Can I change the color of the image titel and text. And the backgroundcolor of the image titel and text?Because light gray background color and black textcolor is not good for my pictures in the slideshow.
Thanks the answers!
Hi Peter!
You can change the appearance of the captions in the stylesheet of the plugin: /plugin/content/plugin_besps/besps.css
The selector .besps_caps {} and .besps_caps div.bs_inside {} deals with the captions, placed over the image and the following selectors handle the two parts of the captions, the title-line and the text-line:
.besps_slides div a, .besps_slides div a:link, .besps_slides div a:visited, .besps_slides div a:focus, .besps_slides div a:hover, .besps_slides div a:active {} ... appearance of the caps if feature links is activated
.besps_caps div span {}... appearance of the title line
.besps_caps div span + span {}... appearance of the text line
Best regards

Hi,
First of all, I love your extension. It works well and is very easy to install. One problem, though. It keeps generating a thumbnail and then showing that in the slideshow. You mentioned something about having another program running that creates thumbnails. I am running RokStories on the home page. Is there a conflict? Does this mean i can't use your extension?
Thank you.
Kathy
Hi Kathy!
The plugin does not create thumbnails at all so if there is an extension creating thumbnails - it's not this one. To check if it is RokStories - turn it off, clear the cache and check the page. No mor plugins - reason found.
In this case please check the support forum of the extension and/or the documentation if there is a possibility to exclude certain images from getting modified.
Best regards
Andreas
I like the slideshow but I don't like the position of the controls at the bottom. What would I need to edit in order to put the control buttons on top?
Hi Willie!
Have a look at these comments:

Hi,
Currently, rolling over an image causes the file name to pop-up. This is not an overlay captions box, but instead shows up as if it was a tool tip. How to I prevent this from happening? If something must be shown I'd rather it be text that I specify, but I would much rather not have it display anything but the image when the user hovers their mouse over an image.
Thanks,
Chris

Soory, but I solved my problem. I had made my directory with pictures in images instead of images/stories.
It works like a charm thank you so much
