Hi

I just tried to this running in Umbraco so I could try and help you out, it seemed to work fine for me without any issues. http://www.catsanddogs.co.nz/slideshow.aspx

What kind of error message are you getting? Do you see the back box?

cool to see it working.

I haven't tried it yet. But I was wondering where to put the xml configuration file. In the root folder? what if you have it location on a site like http://yoursite.com/page/slideshow.aspx

Integration with media section. It would be cool to be able to point to a folder in the media section and have a custom provider bring in the images.

I see that you use the xmldataprovider, where did you put that file. Is it possible to have it in the /scripts/ section so that you can edit it in the umbraco backend?

look forward for your input.

Yes i put the xml data files in the root directory.

So obviously you could write a XSLT script to product something like

Code:
<data transition="CrossFadeTransition">
    <album title="Album Title #1"    description="Album Description #1" image="test.jpg">
        <slide    title="Slide Title #1" description="Slide Description #1" image="test.jpg"    thumbnail="test.jpg" />
        <slide    title="Slide Title #1" description="Slide Description #1" image="test1.jpg"    thumbnail="test1.jpg" />
    </album>
</data>


How you would get this saved in the root directory I'm not sure but surely can be done.

Matt,

The configuration file and data files does not need to be in root see this post i have created xml files in scripts for the moment but you could then create your own page use the macro to create the xml and use the header control in utilities to set page header to text/xml or use ashx i think per did something like this for package creator basically in the web.config you set the url and handler so you dont need a physical page.
