[Plugin: WP Photo Album Plus] Can slideshow stop when photo in film strip is clicked?

  • First of all, your plug-in is excellent. I sent you a donation earlier today. Thanks!

    In playing around with the settings, I found a couple of issues and ideas.

    1. Condition: Have a album on a page that loads as a slideshow (e.g. %%wppa%% %%slide=1%%). In the settings, select only “Browse photos bar” and “Filmstrip navigator”. Have the slideshow start automatically. Effect: When the slide show loads, the prev / next links are shown. When you click on one of the links, the timing of the slides becomes faster for every other slide.

    This appears to be a bug. My thought is that once a prev / next link is clicked, the slideshow should stop. A bonus would be a link that then appears to “Resume Slideshow”. ??

    Let me know if you want to see an example of this issue, as I had to turn off the “Start/stop slideshow bar” option as a workaround to the timing issue.

    2. I would like to request a feature. When someone clicks on a photo in the filmstrip, show that photo. If this is done during a slideshow, stop the slideshow at the same time. Same bonus – if the slideshow was stopped, then show a link that then appears to “Resume Slideshow”. ??

    Note: I use the Chrome browser (latest released version).

    Here is the slideshow as it appears with the workaround (note that I changed the order of items in wppa_theme.php (copied).

    Thanks again.

    Sorry… I found another bug. When the order of photos in an album is set to random, when you click on a photo in the filmstrip (for that album), a random photos appears, not the one you clicked.

    Your first bug – that the arrows in the filmstrip are not hidden when the startstop bar is switched off – has been fixed in version 3.0.1.014.

    See Here for ionstructions on how to get it.

    Your enhancement requests are queued in the wish list.

    Thanx for your donation and your bug reports.

    Your second bug report is a hard one and will take more time.
    I suggesst to not use random for the time being…

    Version 3.0.1.15 has the following anhancement:

    If the slideshow is enabled (in the settings screen) double clicking on a film thumbnail image toggles the slideshow running on/off.

    This is shown in the tooltip, so needs no further documentation to the visitor.

    Thanks so much! I’ve never had to install a hot patch for WP before. Where can I find it and what’s the easiest way to install it? Note that I am an experienced developer and am comfortable working with code, queries, etc.

    Thanks again. I love your plug-in!

    You need to re-install the wppa+ plugin. Explanation is Here on my docs and demo site.
