- every slideshow can be configured individually (Parameter Overrides)
- optional show title and/or text with every single picture (Captions)
- optional show default title/text for the whole slideshow
- optional link every single image to a different target (Links)
- optional use a default link for the whole slideshow
- option to start on pageload or click
- optional control elements (start, stop, back next, counter)

Installation and Usage
A step by step tutorial on installation and usage can be found at Howto Plugin .
The possibilities the code inside the article offers can be found at Howto Plugin Code .
Notice before update:
If you have modified the style sheet besps.css, save it before update, it gets overwritten.
Demo
Limitations/Todo
The feature to load images after pageload works in a fire&forget-mode, will say, when showing the picture, the script does not check, if the dummy has already been replaced with the real picture. This will be one point to work with for future releases.
Compatibility
The plugin is tested successful with Joomla 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7. Anyway, using it aside with one or another existing plugin/modul/component may bring to light problems i haven't foreseen.
I suggest a test run before using it on a live site and stand by for your questions and suggestions.

@ the developer
My english is not the best, but your plugin is great!
I've lookin for a small Slider and found it with "simple picture slideshow". Installation in 5 minutes, configuration in 1 minute and it runs perfect. Wow, great job! It looks very nice and the useability is so easy!
So much thanks!
Best regards, Windoofer0815.
Really like the functionality but really need it as a module, is there a version? Or do you have code that I could use to call the Simple Slideshow from a custom_mod. Thanks Frances
Hi Frances!
No, there is no module version of this plugin and not all modules allow to use content plugins. Refer to the page FAQ&Troubleshooting (menu at the left), it deals with this topic and lists two extensions, that allow to use the plugin this way.
In general: If the usage at a module position is the main purpose of the slideshow I suggest to use a slideshow explicitly developed as a module.

I just want to ask one thing that can we change the font size of Title(Caption) and the text
Hi Nischal!
To change the font (family, size, ...) of the captions, open the stylesheet of the plugin /plugins/content/plugin_besps/besps.css (Joomla!1.5) with a text editor.
The selectors ".besps_caps div span {}" (title line) and ".besps_caps div span + span {}" (text line) set the appearance of the captions.
Best regards

Hello,
I am using the simple picture slideshow and am very satisfied with it. I just have one question. Has anyone a clou to disappear the picture name? When I stop with the mouse on the picture slide show (just stopping, no clicking), the name of the picture (e.g. img_3023.jpg) will appear in a small windows below the mouse courser.
Would be nice.
Stephan
Hi Stephan!
Up till now there is no backend setting to achieve this, but you can add an empty default caption. This solves the problem.
{*besps}folder{/besps*}
{*besps_c}0|||{/besps_c*} ... without the asterisks
Best regards
Andreas
Hello,
I´m new here and my English is very bad. Sorry.
I try to do the slidehow and it run very well. I like it. Now, I have some sides with multithumb for a own category and it happened, that the slideshow are all pictures also thumbnails. Can you help me with the parameter, which makes the slideshow no multithumb.
I hope, you understand me???
Thanks before, sfit
Hi sfit!
I confess, I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but if it is the fact, that the plugin always shows all of the image files within a folder, that's the way it is built and to change this, you would have to hack the plugin.
If I didn't get you right, please give it another try and - if your first language accidentally is German - dann bitte auf Deutsch.
Best regards
Andreas
I have followed the installation instructions at each stage. However, when I have added the code to article, the message comes up as
could not find folder
I have kept the root as images and made sure I have not repeated the foldname name in the code. Any suggestions?
Hi Vonn!
The link delivers an Error 404. This problem is definitely not caused by the plugin.
Best regards

Hi Matthew!
Make sure that the directory permissions for the folder are configured properly (755 - folder, 644 - images).
Next, open the article, switch to HTML-view and make sure that the code for the slideshow is not fragmented with HTML-tags.
If these steps do not solve the problem, please provide a link to the page, I will have a look at it.
Best regards
Andreas
Hi, Have a look at this link www.yumping.co.uk/climbing/awesome-walls-stockport--e19622662
Here the directory entry has a picture gallery with an accompanying slide show. I would like to achieve something similar in Mosets tree for each data record. Your simple picture slideshow looks like a great tool but I wonder whether it can be used in the context of a Mosets Directory record? How should the code be modified to pass the graphics to the slide show from the record?
Hi Phil!
I'm sorry but I haven't worked with Mosets Tree up till now and therefore have no idea how to port the plugin.
Best regards
Andreas
Vielen Dank für das Plugin. Wenn es jetzt noch auf der Startseite bei mir laufen würde wäre genial.
So wird es dort angezeigt: www.new.sv-check.de
Auf einer anderen Seite funktioniert die Slideshow mit genau dem selben Code wunderbar: www.new.sv-check.de/index.php/home-oben4
Habe weder in Google noch hier im Thread eine Lösung gefunden. Ihr seid meine letzte Chance das schöne Plugin zu benutzen.
Die Webseite läuft mit Joomla 1.6
Vielleicht kann hier jemand mir helfen?
Liebe Grüße,
Christine
Hallo Christine!
So wie's aussieht, hast Du das Problem bereits gelöst (läuft unter beiden Links). Woran hat es gelegen?
Gruß
Andreas
Hallo,
vielen dank für das schöne Plugin, eine Weile hat es toll funktioniert, jetzt werden plötzlich die Bilder nicht mehr angezeigt, obwohl ich gar nichts geändert habe.... Woran kann das denn liegen? Hier der Link zur Seite:
aikido-esslingen.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81:lehrgangstag&catid=35:galerien&Itemid=78
Für Hilfe wäre ich sehr dankbar!
Herzliche Grüße!
Hallo Sonja!
Im Joomla! Backend unter "Erweiterungen > Plugins" verschieb den "Redim Image Sizer" soweit nach oben (Spalte Reihenfolge), dass er vor der "Simple Picture Slideshow" ausgeführt wird.
Gruß
Andreas
Hallo Andreas,
ja, du hast natürlich Recht! Mea culpa! Ich habe den ImageSizer 1.5 installiert. Sobald der aktiviert ist, werden die Bilder in der Slideshow nicht mehr angezeigt. De-aktoviere ich ihn, dann werden die Bilder angezeigt. Hm - das ist ja doof. Kann man das Problem irgendwie umgehen? Ich möchte schon gerne eine Funktion auf der Seite haben, die Bilder im Contect auf Klick hin verghrößert. Oder ist das generell nicht möglich, wenn ich die Simple Image Slideshow verwende?
Herzlichen Dank für deine Hilfe!!!
Hallo sonja!
Naja, im Moment kann die Slideshow nichts anzeigen, da im Quelltext die Links zu den Bildern verstümmelt sind. Meiner Erfahrung nach passiert das nicht "plötzlich" und "ohne dass man etwas geändert hat" sondern dann, wenn man eine Erweiterung installiert, die in der einen oder anderen Weise die Bilder im Beitrag modifiziert.
Erforsch also bitte Dein Gewissen, welche coolen neuen Plugins/Componenten Du in letzter Zeit installiert oder aktiviert hast, dann wird die Ursache für das Problem sicher schnell gefunden sein.
Wenn Du die verantwortliche Erweiterung ausgemacht hast, dann poste sie bitte, ich schau mir das gerne an.
Gruß
Andreas
