New "Inline Slideshows"

stanf · 2016-09-06 15:35:00

Installed Theater 1.0.1.

I know where "Set Presentation Type" is located. Where is "Set Presentation Style". Can't find it!!

This is in reference to Matt's "Update Theater Instructions", copied below:

"In 1.0.0, Vegas Slideshow was used for full-screen gallery presentations. For 1.0.1, Vegas can now be used to create full-screen or inline slideshows. The implementation has changed between versions, so users with existing full-screen gallery templates will need to revisit their settings:

Set Presentation Type: Vegas Slideshow
Set Presentation Style: Full-screen"

It will appear underneath when you select Vegas Slideshow as your type.

stanf · 2016-09-06 15:48:12

That's what I was kind of expecting, but it's not appearing!

stanf · 2016-09-06 15:59:31

I am changing the "Presentation Type" on an existing template.

Possibly, do I need to create a new template before "Presentation Style" will appear?

Matthew · 2016-09-06 16:01:32

That shouldn't be necessary. Try changing the type to something else, save, reload the page, then change back to Vegas Slideshow.

stanf · 2016-09-06 16:02:31

The "existing template" is the "Full Screen" one. Does that have anything to do with "Style" not appearing?

Matthew · 2016-09-06 16:04:39

The old type was "Vegas FS", with a coded value of "vegas_fs".

In the new version, the type is "Vegas Slideshow", with a coded value of "vegas", and then divided into styles. So it should just be available, but if the old value hasn't been changed, or if it's getting stuck in the database, then we need to somehow force the change.

I haven't had any problems either locally or in updating the demo site, so you should be able to just switch things over and set the new options.

Just tried changing/saving/changing back/saving: Still no "Style".

stanf · 2016-09-06 16:08:38

I even cleared the Template Cache. Still no "Style"

stanf · 2016-09-06 16:10:44

It's the old one "Vegas FS" that's still listed. I looked at my server and all of the new files seem to have updated. ?????

Matthew · 2016-09-06 16:12:23

Should look like this:

If that's not the case, then perhaps log out, delete the /module-theater folder entirely, upload a fresh copy, then log in again.

stanf · 2016-09-06 16:18:45

Should, but doesn't. I'll go ahead and delete the module-theater folder and then reload it and see what happens. I'll let you know what happens.

Thank you . . . .

stanf · 2016-09-06 16:28:17

Okay, I just did a major, stupid thing. I deleted the Modules folder entirely, instead of just deleting the module-theater folder.

What's the best way for me to dig myself out of this hole I created for myself?

Matthew · 2016-09-06 16:29:29

You can recover from your trash can, or pull the /modules folder from your Backlight and add-ons downloads.

stanf · 2016-09-06 16:38:46

Thanks, I got the modules folder from the last download. Loaded it.

The upgrade to the Theater add-on is now working just fine with all of the new choices.

With a humble bow to you and a deeper "thank you", all is well again.

Thanks for hanging with me.

Cheers,

Stan
