	Farcry Slideshow plugin by joel.cass :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I have been working on a slideshow plugin for FarCry that uses the jQuery cycle framework. The project is detailed here: http://code.google.com/p/farcry-cycle/ and you can either download files as a zip or check out the project using SVN. Often I have found that a slideshow is a requirement for many sites, and the big advantage of using jQuery over a technology such as flash is that it does not rely on external plugins, so will work reliably in more browsers. The cycle plugin for jQuery, on which this is based, is excellent: http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/ Have a look, let me know how you go.

That way when you add a photo you you tag it with on or more categories. Then select the category(ies) to display in the rule. Would be more convenient if you have lots of photos or if they more are added after the rule is set up. 2009/10/8 Joel Cass <joel.a.cass@...> I have been working on a slideshow plugin for FarCry that uses the jQuery cycle framework.

	Re: Farcry Slideshow plugin by joel.cass :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Thanks AJ No I haven't thought of that, to be honest it's a bare bones implementation that could be improved upon. The code is relatively straightforward; it may just be a matter of modifying the 'slide' type to add the field and then creating a new rule to get items by category. Feel free to take the code and do with it as you please. On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 1:10 PM, AJ Mercer <ajmercer@...> wrote: Wow - that looks neat Joel. Have you thought about using categories?
