How do i add a slideshow

Re: How do i add a slideshow

You should be able to add one with BlueVoda if you're using Version 11.
In Version 10 you can create one using the Marquee features.
Or you just search for a "Conveyor belt slideshow" script at www.dynamicdrive.com, copy that code into a HTML box & adjust it to your needs.

Re: How do i add a slideshow

I am still working with Version 10, however, I really don't think that you will lose any files when you upgrade to the new version!

About adding the slideshow using the Marquee features:
PIease note that I am not an expert at all, just learning by carefully reading through the Forum posts, so all I can do is tell you what I have learned to make it work for me!
With the help of this post I've figured out how to do it without even having to first insert the Marquee:

1) Before you get started, I recommend to properly size your images for a neat look & flow on the slideshow - use an external program for that and make them all the same height & width size, at least that's what I did.

2) Upload all these resized images to the "public_html" folder on the Server via FTP Manager in your BlueVoda program ("Tools" -> "FTP Manager")

3) Open Notepad and paste the following:

<marquee direction="left" height="400" scrolldelay="10" scrollamount="4" behavior="scroll" loop="0" style="background-color:#000000;" id="Marquee1"><img src="YOUR_1st_IMAGE.jpg" id="Image1" alt="" align="top" border="0" style="width:500px;height:375px;">
<img src="YOUR_2nd_IMAGE.jpg" id="Image2" alt="" align="top" border="0" style="width:500px;height:375px;">
<img src="YOUR_3rd_IMAGE.jpg" id="Image3" alt="" align="top" border="0" style="width:500px;height:375px;">
<img src="YOUR_4th_IMAGE.jpg" id="Image4" alt="" align="top" border="0" style="width:500px;height:375px;">
</marquee>

In the first line, set the desired HEIGHT (your images' height or a bit larger) and enter the proper BACKGROUND-COLOR code (in this case #000000 stands for black). What I usually do in order to find out the correct color codes, is open a blank page in BlueVoda, insert a text in the color I want, and then look up the code by viewing the Page HTML.
Here, you might just want to search the Page HTML for <body bgcolor="#NUMBER" at your page.

After that is set, fill in your images' names after <img src = "YOUR_IMAGE.jpg" & the sequence number after id= "Image#" in the sequence you want them to show in the slide, enter the width & height px you've resized your images to, and add as many lines as you have images for your slideshow in the same manner.

4) Insert an HTML object in your page in BlueVoda and then copy & paste everything you have in your notepad into that HTML box.
Now stretch & move the box to how large (should have the height you've defined in the first line) & where you want it to be on your page and publish.

ALTERNATIVELY you may also use this script code to place into an HTML box on your page, which I've found on dynamicdrive.com, and adjust it to your needs:

Using the Conveyor in BV 11.4 is simplest; No need for scripts!

Re: How do i add a slideshow

Follows is the HTML code that I have used to put a simple slideshow online. It works well and is easy to implement, with very little code change required...

Using the Blue Voda Website Builder, create an HTML box and then copy all of the following code into your newly created HMTL box/window.

The ONLY lines that you need to be concerned with, begin with either "dropimages" or "droplinks". Make changes to these lines (add more if you need to), save and test... pretty slick!

This code was written by someone at http://www.dynamicdrive.com and they did a really nice job.

I did create a couple of rectangles and put them behind my slide show in order to extablish a border. I used black and gray, which added a little dimension to the photos and looked kinda nice.

Probably best to have all of your photos the same size. I used 320x240.

You may want to set the "droplinks" line to NULL, that is "" unless you want your slide show to have active links (not a bad feature; however). See "droplinks[1]" for an example of setting the link to NULL.

I have not tested it, but I would have a corresponding "dropslink" or each "dropimages".

Hope that this helps someone.
