Is is real, i have to enter the HTML-Link to an image?
Why isnt there an option to select images from a folder?
Or better: Tell the slideshow from wish folder it takes the pictures (same way like in gallery).

Its not realy "it has never been so easy ...."

Greets!

hello,

i do this and it works:

<div><a href="http://www.xxxxxx.de/"><img src="images/Bilder/screen/galaxie.jpg" border="0" alt="galaxy" width="600" height="300" /></a></div>

i create new folder, copy the images and insert the code into the editor.

best regards

In the content area you can either add HTML or use the editor to add your content, for example to add an image with an anchor using HTML:

<a href="#"><img src="your_image" alt="your_alt" width="XXX" height="YYY" /></a>

Not sure the answer from Bob helps too much. I believe I'm having the same issue. I've created a new slideshow, but when I click on the "Add New Item" button, nothing happens at all. I'm unsure how to add photos to my slideshow...

To Jeff: that might be because your browser is not supporting it. Try changing browsers. It worked for me on a similar problem yesterday. My issue with images on the slideshow under style showcase_box is that I don't know how to add them to the buttons underneath the slider. I can add text to the "Navigation" but no images...

I am having the same issue right now. It does not work in IE at all. When using Firefox I can add pictures, but however, as soon as I try to save these modifications, only the first image will be stored. The following editor fields are empy again.

I am using Joomla 2.5.6 with Editor JCE and Widgetkit 1.0.5

is giving the problems, does not show the full picture slideshow

This is a problem that occurs when you are working with the JCE Editor as your default editor. It is possible to fix this by switching to TinyMCE in the Site > Configuration panel. Even though this is a problem that seems to only occur with JCE, I would still strongly suggest that Yoothemes fixes this issue. JCE is a popular editor and it is reasonable to expect them to make this work.

I have TinyMCE and still don't know how to add images and links replicate the Showbox example on the Yootheme site. I presume it's some code you put in the navigation area, but I used a number of browsers and no luck.

Wordpress slideshow is not working either... Cannot add new photos. Insert new image, set options for slideshow and when I hit save, the image disappears?!?

^^ Above code works well, thanks dietmar.

If your a completely new to joomla (and webdesign) like me then here's a step by step:

1. upload your images into via the media manager and make not of the image file name e.g. image.jpg
2. create a new slideshow widget from the widgetkit manager. components > widgetkit.
3. in the editing page for the slideshow widget you just created look for the little html button just above the text box.
4. enter the code as seen above:

<div><a href="http://www.xxxxxx.de/"><img src="images/Bilder/screen/galaxie.jpg" border="0" alt="galaxy" width="600" height="300" /></a></div>

1. delete 'xxxxxx.de' and replace with your URL. delete 'Bilder/screen/galaxie.jpg' and replace with your folders name (where the images are stored in media manager) followed by / then the file name e.g image.jpg
2. delete 'galaxy' and replace with your image file name.
3. click the insert new item button and repeat process 1-6 until you have all the images for your slideshow.

regards.

nope the default joomla image button doesn't exist in yoo theme widgetkit... i mean this kind of sucks because they are forcing us to use other editors! why???
