The slideshow process in osCmax 2.5 RC1 has had me baffled for a couple of days (well at least the hours that I have had available to look at it during those days).<\/p>\n

First up was a bit of redundant code that I flagged in a bug report<\/a> and then finally getting to grips with the fact that the {slideshow} element in the main_page.code.php file is not in fact the complete deal but just the javascript bit and that the page modules section {modulecontroller} also needs to be called from the html page.<\/p>\n

Once I danced around all of this to gain an understanding of how to get the slideshow working in the main index page, I then faced the admin console for the slideshow.<\/p>\n

Annoyance #1 is that the slideshow images page includes a short cut to the slideshow settings page but the slideshow settings page has no corresponding return button requiring a 4 step menu traverse which is painful particularly with a glidepad and no mouse. But due to the hard coded construct of the configuration process for editing admin items it is a major task to change the system to fix this annoyance. Another day.<\/p>\n
