I will definitely give it a try! Looks great

Greetings:

The “How to add more image?” does not explain clearly how to do it:

- I take the “superb-slideshow.xml” XMl file from plugin folder… and what should I do with it?
- Where should I paste the node code?

Best regards.

thanks for this wonderfull plugin

Love this plugin, it works perfectly! Thanks very much.

I have one question though: is it possible two have one slideshow on the homepage and a second one in the sidebar (except when on the homepage), both with their own settings?

Once again: thanks.

Hi, I installed this plugin, it works great but with one exception: it only shows pictures on the main page of my website. When I go to a category or to a post it shows a black widget with no photo.

OMG! Yes, of course, so stupid of me not to check the width I set and the actual image width. I have corrected it and now the vertical lines are gone.

One last thing however: the text issue. I know that sometimes there are limitations to a program, that is, there may be some things that just can’t be done. But I guess there’s no harm in trying to see if the text can be placed somewhere else (e.g. middle) besides the bottom. And, if we can insert the text without the translucent black bar.

Anyway, whatever the outcome, I would still give my 2 thumbs up to you and this plugin. I will be using this plugin in my blog and other sites I’ll be putting up in the future. Thanks again Gopi.

Hey, I tried to activate this plugin, and got this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /blog/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 36

Any ideas, thanks so much.

OK, I sorted that, it was a ‘&’ in an image title.

BUT, now even though I’ve spec’d 750×200 in PAge1.xml, it only shows about 200 pixels of the width for each image.

I also tried to activate this plugin, and got this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /blog/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 36

Hi – firstly I really like the plugin, its easy to install and does exactly what i need without too many bells and whistles.

My question though, is there anyway when my website loads, to have the plugin load with a white or transparent background instead of black?

Cheers

Hey there. I am not tech savy…at all…and am really struggling with how to upload pictures. I love the plug in and would really like to use it on my site. Could you please break it down into layman’s terms for me! Thanks.

Cannot activate this plug-in. Can you help? This is the error I receive:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homepages/44/d294980128/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 36

Thanks!

Oh, in the comment above did I mention I am so ignorant? I was using the html code in my post-when I changed to follow your instructions for method 3-WHAM! It worked! THank you.

Only now my problem is it shows only 200×200 even though the picture is 600×400, the admin setting is the same, and I am stumped!! Another plea for help please?

Hi Admin:

Great plugin really a big fan. For some reason the plugin is causing errors on users searching from a mac interface. If we run the site on a pc the slideshow works great and doesn’t overlap with the menu bar.

Is this a known issue? Suggestions?

To gim
if any problem in width, in default it will show 200 width slide show, so please check the width.

the plugin can’t be activated because>>>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /VDOMAINS/jokalux/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 36

any idea?

Does anyone know how to find the DOM/XML phpinfo screen to determine if this is enabled?
I have been in my server and don’t see this phpinfo file anywhere. I get multiple errors:

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [function.DOMDocument-load]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in D:\Hosting\3330071\html\wp-content\plugins\superb-slideshow\superb-slideshow.php on line 107

To Bryan.. regarding DOM XML…
It seems that the problem is at hosting. Meaning: beware where you host! But you can’t control your clients… i.e. this plugin won’t work
Am I right?

Hello I have the plugin and I are going great, but now I want to make another slideshow in another sidebar with different pictures? How can I specify in the sidebar to the get .xml I want? Thank you very much

Awesome! Thanks so much! How would one change the background color while the images are loading to white rather than black?

Never mind, I got it worked out. Edited the superb-slideshow.php file, and in the form changed the maximum number of characters allowed from 4 to 5, it did the trick.

Good news !
Finally displayed in Firefox but after 1 minute with a blank square (?)
THANKS again I will use it

Hi, I’ve got a problem while using this plugin, as the widget shown as flash, which will have problem with “windowless mode”, I have a Thickbox in place on my site and I need to make the widget at the back so that it won’t cover up the box. Is there anyway I can fix that ?
demo link here: http://g-1billion.org/?page_id=52

Hey There, for some reason the images are not pulling through to the slide show. Could you take a look and give me some insight on what might be happening… Thanks for your help in advance!
http://www.iccchouston.com/homepagetesting/

I’m getting this error when using the plugin:

Message: ‘get(…).complete’ is null or not an object
Line: 71
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: /wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow//inc/superb-slideshow.js

Any ideas?

Hey Gopi, what happened? The plugin worked fine but as soon as I updated your plugin to version 3.0 it stopped working and gave this error messages:

Warning: DOMDocument::load(http://moralde.com/..(snipped)..) [domdocument.load]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in …(snipped)…/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 107

It seems like the update action deleted some xml files I created before.

This plugin is great, but with a option to make the images it shows random would make it even better!

Hi, it would seem that the plugin does not work in ie6 or ie7… anychance it might do in the future?

Plugin work great, but only on home page. Is it supposed to work only on the home page, or all of the pages that have the sidebar??

I tried your plugin but it gives me the following error when I try to activate it:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /—deleted—/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 36

Hello! I’m trying to use this plugin and mostly everything works great. My photos appear in the order I wrote them in the xml file.

But the weight and height I set does not work at all. Either I try a h=400 and w=800, or h=200 and x=200 doesn’t work

What am I doing wrong?
I’m using this code
superb-slideshow=filename=page1.xml&width=400&height=300
and also setting that weight and height in the setting options. But it always displays my photos in a square leaving some black spaces on top and bottom.

The plugin worked fine until I upgraded to WP 2.8.6. Now I get:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /—deleted—/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 36

How do I fix this? It has nothing to do with full image paths, I tried.

Thank you for this fine plugin. A nice feature to add would be an easy way to write noscript content, for when the user has javascript disabled. In my case, being able to show a static, default image that links to a post would be perfect.

Hi Gopi,
Even though I don’t know HTML and am a beginner blogger, I was able to use your plug-in and create a great slideshow for my site.

Question: Can you tell me how to hyperlink each slide as you said is possible? I read through comments and don’t see that covered. SOrry if I missed it. Thanks!

Zita

I am a new Wordpress user. I have the slideshow basically working, but I’m having a problem with the sizes. The slideshow in the sidebar is only showing a very small section of each photo, and the one under student events is cycling through the titles, but I only see a black background. I appreciate any tips you can offer.

I’ve installed the plug-in and got the slideshow to successfully display on the sidebar, but I really want to display full sized pictures on the page: http://vtota.vail.k12.az.us/studentevents. Instead, I just see a big black box the size of my photos. It is clearly cycling through them as I can hover over the lower left corner and see the titles. I appreciate any tips you might have that will help me get the photos to display. Thank you.

Bro,

I had succesfully installed in my 468×80 banner. Howeverm once I activate, the post slider (i use WP-Genius) will be gone. When I deactivate, it appear back. Was there any issue with .js file etc?

Great Plugin. Looked forward to solve this issue.

Cheers,
A.S.

I have put the plugin as a widget on my blog and configured all the files.
My hoster as a 5.2.2 PHP version and I get this error :

Warning: DOMDocument::load(http://crochetgazette.fantaisiesdefemmes.com/wp-content/plugins/suberb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.xml) [domdocument.load]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /homepages/1/d261335323/htdocs/gazette/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 32

DOM/XML is enabled in PHPInfo.
Is there a solution please ?

hi gopi. ive got your brilliant script on the sidebar as a widget in the Milano theme.

now, ive got the photo dimensions correct, but is there any way i could CENTER the slideshow since it doesnt fill up the width of the sidebar? it is now aligned to the left.

thanks!

I wont upgrade this plugin until the only requirement is to click the “upgrade now” button and nothing else.

It’s a pain to have to back up files and upload them again…

Hi Gopi, re: post #72, it shows well on the home page, and a black square space where it should be on the other pages, but no pictures. I would like to either remove from other than the home page, or have all the pages show it. Any suggestions?

Hi. Just tried to install this a few times and got the following fatal error…

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/sites/interiordesignsdirectory.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 41

Using WP 2.8.6

Any suggestions?

D

well, i was able to figure out with my hoster how to change the name of the superb slideshow xml file as suggested at the top of this page, but it’s still not my pictures, which were lost in the upgrade process. Are they gone? Do I have to redo my slideshow from scratch? PLEASE answer.
Thanks.

Gopi, my dashboard tells me there’s a new update to this nice plugin (I love your plugin!). Have you dealt with some particular coding parts so we don’t have to save previous images and xml files before upgrading? I hate to lose my previous images and xml files again. Are you gonna tell us to backup again?

I had it working fine until I upgraded my zend optimizer to version 3.3.9, which required me to change my php.ini file to a php5.ini file. Now I get the following error message when I load the page (but my phpinfo printout shows that DOM is enabled), what do I need to do to fix this?:

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/g/o/i/goingbatty/html/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/superb-slideshow.php on line 107

Great plugin! Is There a way to create multiple widget galleries using different xml files?

Hello, great plug-in. I am getting the same error as some other people that have posted. Just curious where we should be looking for the DOMXML? To check and see if it is enabled or not.

Here is the error.
Thanks,

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [function.DOMDocument-load]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in D:\Hosting\5288316\html\sft\wp-content\plugins\superb-slideshow\superb-slideshow.php on line 36

The slideshow works great for my site by the way. You can see it here:
http://www.artofaffection.com

Just dont need it to stop when someone does a mouseover.

Update…
Apparently my host is blocking external file access.
PHP Configuration:
allow_url_fopen – OFF
This is also apparently very common PHP server configuration. Hope this terrific script can be reworked to get around this!

is there any way to COMPLETELY disable the Description overlay? I think it’s a good idea to have a third state – disabled…

For those with the DOMDocument error and the server PHP setting of allow_url_fopen – OFF this worked for me. Not guaranteed to work with every server. Add to your .htaccess:

php_flag allow_url_fopen on

I was getting a Warning: DOMDocument::load(…) [domdocument.load]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! error.

I solved it by replacing this line (v2.0):
$sswld_pluginurl = $sswld_siteurl . “/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/”;
by this one

$sswld_pluginurl = “wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/”;

Somebody might find this useful

Ok… I ran into the same error on line 36 thing, which is related to the “allow_url_fopen – OFF” setting with the hosting. Through trial and error, and a few totally fried brain cells (because I dont know php), I actually found a solution.

line 14
*original* $sswld_siteurl = get_option(’siteurl’);

*change to* $sswld_siteurl = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

line 15
*original* $sswld_pluginurl = $sswld_siteurl . “/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/”;

*change to* $sswld_pluginurl = “/wp-content/plugins/superb-slideshow/”;

line 36
*original* $doc->load( $sswld_pluginurl . $sswld_xml_file );

*change to* $doc->load( $sswld_siteurl . $sswld_pluginurl . $sswld_xml_file );

*** just fyi, there is a command listed twice, and one can be deleted:
(line 17 & 22), I deleted 17.

$sswld_width = get_option(’sswld_width’);

so far, everything runs fine… which in my case is a miracle, given my lack of php knowledge.

you can view the site I am working on to verify… good luck

This is a great script, Gopi… you can use my mods if future updates if it proves to work on most hosting. My ego would enjoy an honorable mention if you use it (not required).

If you are getting an error when activating this plug-in (ie Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR…) and you are hosting with DreamHost, this is due to the “Extra Web Security” checked in the web options for PHP. Go to > manage domains > click edit on your domain name > scroll down to web options and uncheck the extra security box. I have not been able to locate where you can keep this checked and allow the function to pass through the security setting. I believe there is a way to do this but I have not found it as of yet.

Hi,

I’m experiencing a problem on IE6. I have several images that fade from one to the other and have a drop-shadow at their bottom. In FF it looks fine in IE it only display a black bar where the shadow should be (stacking all shadows decreasing transparency?)

You can view the example here (a bit slow loading) http://testserver.orangecreative.net/cfl/

I’m talking about the drop-shadow below the header image and above the main menu.

What can cause this?

Many-many thanks in advance!

I apologize for being a dickhead. just updated to version 4. works great!

Again superb slideshow is great but I am having a problem with it showing in IE8 consistently. It shows in other browsers fine. Sometimes it will work but its always with errors. it seems to be autoload.js errors. Any soulutions?
