[jQuery] Re: jQuery Cycle Plugin help needed

2008-02-16 Thread diggnate

it looks like I'm a little late to the game on this thread, but I
found it via google, and you guys seem to know what you're talking
about :-)

I'm trying to get this to work on a WordPress theme that I'm
developing for my site, but for some reason it just won't work.  I'm
new to jQuery, but this should be pretty straightforward.
http://www.nathanrice.net/?wptheme=NR2.0

I have the script call in the head section, and I've got the necessary
code:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#s2').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
speed:  'normal',
timeout: 6000
});
});

plus the markup:

div id=s2 class=pics
a href=http://www.nathanrice.net/themes/rockinbizred/;img
src=?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?/images/slides/rockinbizred-
slide.jpg width=595 height=192 alt=RockinBizRed 2.0 //a
a href=http://www.nathanrice.net/themes/stripped/;img src=?
php bloginfo('template_url'); ?/images/slides/stripped.jpg
width=595 height=192 alt=Stripped WordPress Theme //a
img src=?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?/images/slides/
tagcloud.jpg width=595 height=192 alt=Tag Cloud /
/div

In theory this should be working, but it's not.  Any help would be
much appreciated.

Thanks!
Nathan

  Q, you just need to think outside the box a little bit.  The thing to
  remember is thatCyclewill treat each immediate child element of the
  container as a slide.  A slide can be whatever you want  (img, div, p, etc)
  and can contain whatever you need.  For example:

  div id=slideshow
  div
  img src=image1.jpg/
  a href=/whateverWhatever/a
  divblah blah blah/div
  /div
  div
  img src=image1.jpg/
  a href=/whateverWhatever/a
  divblah blah blah/div
  /div
  /div

  The markup above  would drive a two-slide slideshow.  You then just need to
  apply the appropriate CSS to the container and slides to make your markup
  bow to your will.

You need to load the jQuery script *before* any plugin scripts.  And you
should probably be using Firefox with Firebug so that you could see these
errors right away.  They jump right out at you with the proper tools.

yeah thanks to mike for a friggin awesome plugin!

i'm glad you liked checking out the labradoodles! this site is for a
friend of mine. they sold tiger woods his labradoodle! awesome huh?
they're beautiful dogs. anyway, i'm having one more little issue.
everything works GREAT, but i want to add some text over the images as
they fade. for instance, each image illustrates a small part of an
article about labradoodles. i want to have a text link overlay the
image and have it say 'read article ' and a user could click it. then
when the image fades, the link does also, until the next image fades
in, with it's own text link to its own article. i'm not having much
luck since i need to write each link it's own class in the stylesheet
because they need to be positioned a little differently from eachother
over their images. how would i do this? the plugin doesn't like to see
div tags after each image. it doesn't like it when i put text within
the image tags. what do you think i should do?

thanks again for everything!!!

[jQuery] Re: jQuery Cycle Plugin help needed

2008-01-24 Thread Mike Alsup
You need to put the code inside a doc ready handler.  In general, you
*always* do this with jQuery code that manipulates elements in the document:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#s2').cycle({
   fx: 'fade',
   speed:  'normal',
   timeout: 4000,
   next:   '#next2',
   prev:   '#prev2'
});
});

Also you should remove all those extra scrip tags.  Load jQuery once.  Load
Cycle once. And if you're using the cycle all plugin then you don't need
the trans file.

Cheers!

Post a link.  There's something you're not telling us.  I'd be glad to look
at the code in context.  What you posted here looks fine.

2008-01-24 Thread Karl Swedberg


It looks to me like it's working just fine -- that is, it's  
successfully rotating the three instances of the same image, since  
that is what you have in your HTML:


div id=headingfade class=pics
img src=images/onelucky.gif width=712  
height=273 /
img src=images/onelucky.gif width=712  
height=273 /
img src=images/onelucky.gif width=712  
height=273 /

/div


So, I grabbed your page, substituted different images for onelucky.gif  
numbers 2 and 3, and it looks fine (except for the image distortion,  
but that is due to your CSS):

Nice!  Thanks for the legwork, Karl!  You're right.  Looks like Q has it
working now - just needs to rename the images.

2008-01-24 Thread visitorQ

Mike and Karl. thank you both for helping me with this thread! so just
for documentation's sake i'll explain what happened:

i run a linux machine and i have an apache server running. all of the
files that are served on it need to have certain permissions and be
owned by a certain user and be associated with a certain group. the
jquery cycle plugin had the wrong permissions and and wrong group and
wrong owner. as soon as i changed it, the slideshow worked. i've added
more pictures too. i'll be moving to using the 'pager' also found on
the same page on your site.

i am however having one other problem. before the slideshow worked, i
had a dropdown menu on my navbar. but now with the slideshow over it,
you can't see the dropdown when you rollover the navbar. sooo, i kinda
need the navbar. what do you guys recommend?

mike and karl thank you guys so much for helping me out with this
problem. as you guys have found i figured out what the problem was.
and it turns out i was sorta correct in my assumption. there was
something wrong with the jquery cycle plugin. it had the wrong
permissions and was owned by the wrong user and was associated with
the wrong group on my linux server!

but i'm having another problem with the cycle. i hav a css dropdown
menu where my navigation bar is. i can't see it now that the cycle is
over it. i need the dropdown =\. what do you guys suggest? is there a
way to get around that?
