Probably going daft here, on an ordinary album page I can find the slideshow transition type and loop or not loop but not the slide duration.
Any ideas, I am sure i changed it to a very short time in BL 1 but never changed it back to something reasonable

What module or album presentation type are we talking about?

See this for standard album

Pangolin Album, Photo Presentation, Slidshow You have 3 colour options, Loop slideshow and Slide tranition but no slide duration. Not sure how but mine is currently 2 seconds. Vagely rememnber chaging it but cannoit remember how. Assumed it was/would be here
Offline
Just checked with Baclight 1 setup and it does not have an option to change the slide duration so now doubting my memory.
So to refrash the question Is there a way to change the slide duration in a Pangolin Album slideshow.?

it’s going to be in that fancy box js code mentioned in the post linked to above. Also in that post is a link to the Fancybox documentation. Look under Options. In the first section you’ll find slide duration and transition duration options.
Look for those in the code itself. You may need to add them.
You can either edit the file, save and upload it to your site, or try the method Matt described.
Since Backlight 2 isn’t installed by uploading all the files from your computer, you’ll either need to download the file from your site and edit, save, and re-upload (probably the safest way) or edit it directly on the server through your ftp program.

We discussed this issue with BL 1, http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8580
And at the time it was hard wired but on the todo list for future development.
Rod also published a tip on the issue, the line numbers are probably different for BL 2, http://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto. … ide-shows/

Thanks but it is not the Vegas or Galleria slide duration it is the Pangolin Album. It looks like it is in the Fancy box code as Rod pointed me to. Just need to figure out If then How I can change it using PHPPlugins
Offline
Found what i think is the code required
slideShow : {speed : 1000}
so tried to add it to myPHPPlugin as
echo '
<script>
$.fancybox.slideShow : {
speed : 1000
}
</script>
';
This gave me no errors on page load but did nothing. I am afraid I am now outside my comfort zone so help ould be apperciated

Did you remember to clear template cache as well?

What is the full phplugins function that you used? What you posted won’t work by itself.

this appears to work:
function scripts() {
echo '
<script>
$.fancybox.defaults.slideShow.speed = 5000;
</script>
';

Cleared the Template Cache, Slimmed down my PHPPlugin file, checked it was beign referenced in the Album Page Template, clearted browser cache, used ingognito window. Still no luck.
This is my full PHPPlugin file
<?php
function user_load($style, $path) {
$g_tsvrl = explode(' ', $style); // Extract gallery type
define ('G_STYLE', strtoupper($g_tsvrl[1])); // and set global for later
$g_path = str_ireplace('\\','/',$path); // change \ to /
$chunks = explode('/',$g_path); // and put into array
define ('G_PATH', strtoupper($chunks[count($chunks)-2])); // gallery folder name is second to last
//define ( 'TTG_SITE', ''); // set new site root for navigation, resources, etc.
}
if (defined('BACKLIGHT_HOOK')) {
require_once(realpath(BACKLIGHT_HOOK).'/modules/module-designer/application/helpers/APHPlugins.php');
}
class PHPlugins extends APHPlugins
{
// Adds custom
function scripts() {
echo '
<script>
$.fancybox.defaults.slideShow.speed = 10000;
</script>
';
}
// ****************************************************************************************************
// END USER FUNCTIONS
} ?>

Can you share a link to an album?

try clearing your browser cache. When I looked at the slideshow, the timing was 10 seconds.

It works, me being dumb.
Since coming back and adding your code I started testing on a galleria slideshow not an album slideshow.
So thanks for the help am]nd sorry about the confusion

Just Installed the latest update, great to see the slider for duration and real and very pleasant surprise to se the fade duration. Just started playing with that in PHPPlugins and failing miserablely. So thank you
