I am currently running Joomla 1.0.11. I installed SVN:550 to address the batch upload problem.  Now the batch upload problem has been fixed however, now I get a javascript error when I click on an image to display.  In addition the slidshow is now broken.  It seems to break in IE version: 7.0.5730.11.  The slideshow works fine in Mozilla.  I sure it's just some object, method or attrib that is not supported in my version of IE.  Is IE7 a supported browser?

Alex,

If you can fix it, please let us know. Perhaps the code can be made part of the release.It is not high on our priority list at the moment, bu a fix is always welcome.

Cheers,

I found what is causing my problem with the slideshow in IE7.  I don't think this is limited to IE7 however this problem breaks more gracefully in Firefox.  There is a hidden selectbox that would normally list all images displayed in the slideshow.  There is a function used to populate this selectbox.  For some unknown reason the structure of the Array object containing the list of image references is different than what the function expects.  My only guess is that either some other lib or 3rdParty contrib, has introduced a conflict.  However since the selectbox has not yet been implemented a quick temporary solution is to comment out the line that makes the bad reference to the Array object.  Take a look at the code snippets below and make the following changes in slideshow.rsgallery2.php noted in red text.  I will post my findings once I track down what has introduced this conflict

109 //alert(SLIDES[0][1]);
110 for(i in SLIDES){
111         //f.wichIm.options = new Option(SLIDES[1],1);
112 }



118 function runSS(n){
119         n++;
120         if(n >= SLIDES.length){
121                 n = 0;
122         }
123
124         document.images["stage"].src = S[n].src;
125         if(document.all && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") < 0 && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows") >= 0){
126                 document.images["stage"].style.visibility = "hidden";
127                 document.images["stage"].filters.item(0).apply();
128                 document.images["stage"].filters.item(0).transition = effect;
129                 document.images["stage"].style.visibility = "visible";
130                 document.images["stage"].filters(0).play(duration);
131         }
132         f.currSlide.value = n;
133         //f.wichIm[n].selected = true;
134         t = setTimeout("runSS(" + f.currSlide.value + ")", f.delay.value * 1000);
135 }

First I would like to say great work so far.  This might not be the correct place for this post, but since the original post was regarding the slideshow and you had mentioned that the slideshow needed a re-write, I decided to mention this here.  I have a few suggestion for the slide show.  From what I can tell, it seem that that the slideshow is seperate from the gallery itself,  I think is shold be part of the gallery.  For example after selecting a gallery and then clicking on a thumbnail a page is diplayed with the enlarged image and image navigation controls and the slideshow link.  I think it would be better that after clicking on the thumbnail that the slideshow is displayed, displaying the selected thumbnail, and the paging navigation controls as part of the slideshow. This will greatly enhance the user experience by not having to wait for the entire page to refresh each time the user pages to a different image.  In addition the slideshow image could then retain the water-mark and image effects while paging through the images.  I know that you have many bug fixes and other features that you're woring on but just wanted to submit my suggestion.  I can make these changes myself but I though that othere might benifit from these changes.  I don't plan to make any custom changes until a stable release is available.  However I wouldn't mind assisting with the project if needed. I just don't want to have to track all my changes and reimpliment them after every core upgrade.
