Multipage Form Tutorial

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

Thanks for that reply.

I was wondering if you could help me with another?

I have saved slides from power point to seperate files .jpg and inserted them into a ad banner rotater.

The effect of doing this reduces the quality of the slides.

Is there just as easy a method in doing this without loosing quality of the original slide?

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

There are two cases here:

1. You have created your banner rotator of such dimensions, that it is forced to enlarge the pictures. By enlarging, the quality is lower. If this is the case, the only way is to use the original picture files, which should be at higher resolution.
2. PP probably has an internal algorithm which allows it to save the pictures with a high compression ratio, still being able to represent them at an acceptable quality (Just as Word does). Using the same images with another software (like BV) which doesn't have the relevant algorithm, will produce poor quality. You can trick the thing though: start the PP presentation, and capture the images from your screen. Save them and use them for the banner rotator.

Hi "Naval",

Thanks for your help yesterday re:from - email - problem solved.

I have found some script for a rolling gallery - however when I try to change the place to find the files it doesnt change them.

I attach a portion of the script that maybe you can see where I am making my mistake.

//Specify the slider's width (in pixels)
var sliderwidth="1500px"
//Specify the slider's height
var sliderheight="200px"
//Specify the slider's slide speed (larger is faster 1-10)
var slidespeed=2
//configure background color:
slidebgcolor="#EAEAEA"

//Specify the slider's images
var leftrightslide=new Array()
var finalslide=''
leftrightslide[0]='<a href="Z:/Resizepics/dsc01632.jpg" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[1]='<a href="Z:/Resizepics/dsc01634.jpg" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[2]='<a href="http://"><img src="dynamicbook3.gif" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[3]='<a href="http://"><img src="dynamicbook4.gif" border=1></a>'
leftrightslide[4]='<a href="http://"><img src="dynamicbook5.gif" border=1></a>'

//Specify gap between each image (use HTML):
var imagegap=" "



Where it reads leftslide[0] and leftslide [1] - those are the lines i have ammended to try make it work.Z being my drive and the remainder being the description of the file.

Can you help.

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

This is not simply the image source (which is not your drive, but the images uploaded to your site) but a link to the image file. I beleive that if you place the script and the images in the same folder, that should be:

leftrightslide[0]='<a href="http://"><img src="dsc01632.jpg" border=1></a>'

and so on.
The image dsc01632.jpg as well as all other images must be uploaded using FTP in the same folder where the script is

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

Hi Rob,

to be honest, i can see the slide, but no pictures in it. Just X where the pics were supposed to be.

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

Sorry - its probably because my files and script are not in the same folder hence me being able to see what I have done (even on the Web) and you not be abl;e to veiw it as the files are not accesible to you.

How do I load these files to the "same" folder?

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

Use BlueFTP. Connect, find the folder whwre the script is, then upload the images in the same folder.

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

I am really feeling quite stupid.

Everyone refers to BlueFTP. Where do I locate it and how do I install it?

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

Ok I have found the site under the tools directory.

I have gone through the tutorial and the files that are to be used - *.jpg's files are all listed in the Public_html. . . .

I presume this is correct (actually not sure)

HELp is required

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

Hi Rob,

it is difficult to give you specific help without the script installation instructions. Just to check, is the script also in public_html ? or is it implemented directly in the page ?

[Rob (SA)]

Re: Multipage Form Tutorial

hi "Naval",

It is implimented in the page.
