Forum:Image slideshow

If I look to my Widget Dashboard, I see an image slideshow! Is there way to put this on my wiki?

Thanks it works! But can I make a own slideshow, of selected images?

image slideshow showing grey or black box
hi there, i managed to embed the image slideshow widget into this wiki http://gintama.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page that i am sysop of, but my viewers feedback that they only see black or grey box, no image is displayed previously it worked before, but for some reason, the past 2~3 weeks it has not been displaying the images, can i understand why? did i unintentionally modified something without realising it? thanks in advance --Gin-san 16:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * All i see, in both IE8 and Firefox, is a black rectangle with some media player like buttons under it but when i clic the rectangle it send me to a file page.
 * One thing that i know is that they changed (or will change) the JS framework so it might be related. — TulipVorlax 17:18, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way, unless your main page suffer from heavy vandalism, you're not supposed to protect it. How can we help if we can't even preview some edit. — TulipVorlax 17:20, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oy, ok, looking into that widget's js too. --Uberfuzzy 22:51, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * alright, I have temporarily unprotected the main page, it was protected because some contributors overwrote big chunks of the pages before by just doing a 'Ctrl-C' from Wikipedia, they did not even bother to add to the Wikipedia info or at least edit it so that the typo errors are corrected --Gin-san 11:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem.
 * Is that layout normal ?

 * ahhh, I see you are using IE, the layout is as I have done up (temporary measure since I am still moving sections around, I know the main page layout is ... not too great :D), but the table outlines are too faint, I have that problem when viewing in IE8, but no such issue with FF3. I have no idea why, so that's why I just added a comment on the main page "best viewed in FF". any ideas?--Gin-san 23:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * IE is my default, but i also have Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. I think it's because you're not using the columns tag properly but since i didn't looked the source and you removed it... — TulipVorlax 05:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * oops, it's now at http://gintama.wikia.com/wiki/Gintama_Episode_List, actually the problem is not just confined to tables, my poll boxes all display the same too-faint box-outline. anyway, if the problem only exists in IE, but not in all the other browsers (i only use FF & IE), then it's alright...who cares about Microsoft anyway? haha --Gin-san 04:21, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi all. Yes, the slideshow widget is currently broken when embedded with the widget tag. It will be fixed in a few days at the next code release. --Uberfuzzy 04:47, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * hey thanks, seems to be working fine now --Gin-san 05:57, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisting
This is more of a feature request, but it would be nice to be able to forbid certain images, eg, unfree ones. The laziest thing would be to not show images in a __NOGALLERY__ category, but I reckon that may be not that easy. So maybe the widget could instead check the image page for a certain string, like the name of a template or a pseudo magic word.

Is this feasible?--AB 01:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC) PS: My reason to ask is that anonymous users can access Special:WidgetDashboard, which includes a slideshow of the newest images.--08:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it would be better to be able to give that widget the name of a category so it only show images from that category and it's subcategories. — TulipVorlax 05:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
