Vegas Slide show - Fade value

pideja · 2018-04-06 04:54:44

Is there a way, CSS or otherwise, to control the transition time in Vegas Slide Show. Presently, there are FADE and FADE 2 which are very similar.
If one wants a 5 seconds transition, can it be done? It looks like Vegas uses CSS3 transitions, so it should be editable.
On the Vegas slideshow web site, it is stated that the transition duration is set in milliseconds by the transitionDuration option.
I can't find this option on the Backlight pages for this site. Is this option available in Backlight or should I attempt to find and edit one of the files within the sites architecture?

ok. after poking around and trying a few fruitless things, I found it.

in your Theater download:
backlight/modules/pangolin-theater/fragments edit the vegas_js.php file in a plain text editor.

on line 14 you'll see:

transition: '<?php echo $model->value('presentation.vegas.transition') ?>',

create a new line after that and add this:

transitionDuration: 5000,

this creates a 5 second fade in. Change the number to what you want it to be.
Save the file to a different location than your download (someplace you'll be able to easily find it again) and upload it to the corresponding location on the server.
in Backlight, Clear Template Cache

you may also need to clear browser cache to see the change.

whenever there are Theater updates you'll need to re-upload that file to /backlight/modules/pangolin-theater/fragments/

(at least that rabbit hole wasn't very deep....)

Made the change and got...dark, black screen.
Probably no fault of yours. I am tired and can't find what setting I must have "broken".
I'll try again tomorrow...

Thanks Rod.

is this an inline slide show or a full screen.
Link?

It's a full screen show.

I think the pictures are missing.

Look at the page's source code. The vegas slideshow array lists the urls of all the pictures. But if you try to go to any of those urls, you get a 404 page not found error.
Have you tried creating any other Vegas shows?
Have you tried inline Vegas shows?
Have you tried reversing the change you made?

Stupid mistake: I had changed the names of the image files directly in the pictures folder. Clearly, it's not the way to do this. The basic mistake that made me and especially you, waste your time. Sorry about that.

As for the modification suggested by you for the transitions, it's a resounding success.

Merci beaucoup!
