SlideShowPro Typo3 Extension

SlideShowPro is a versatile, customizable slideshow media player for presenting photos and videos. It's the same Flash slideshow published by SlideShowPro Director but available separately as a component for Adobe Flash and plugin for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for more creative control and content loading with or without SlideShowPro Director

This extension is a demo for integration of SlideShowPro Standalone (Standalone_1982)  into Typo3 (4.3.1).

Demo

How it works

• The extension provides a new content element.
• You can upload images for this content element similarily to the image content element.
• The extension creates automatically the thumbnails and images.xml needed for each SlideShowPro content element. 
• If the user has not installed flash, the first image will be shown.

Installation

• Make sure ImageMagick ist installed (needed for thumbnail generation)
• Import & install the plugin into Typo3
• Create folder www.yourdomain/typo3temp/slideshowpro/ and www.yourdomain/typo3temp/slideshowpro/pics/.  Make sure that Apache and System (Exec()!)) is allowed to write into that directory.
• Create folder www.yourdomain/fileadmin/slideshowpro/. Upload SlideShowPro Files slideshowpro.swf, param.xml and slideshowpro.js to that folder. SlideShowPro Standalone can be obtained from www.slideshowpro.net
• The size of the embedded SlideShowPro object is hardcoded in class.tx_pendryslideshowpro_pi1.php (swfobject.embedSWF....)
• The size of the thumbnails is also hardcoded in class.tx_pendryslideshowpro_pi1.php (swfobject.embedSWF....)
• If Typo3 is not on root level of your domain => Modify in class.tx_ebertslideshowpro_pi1.php (swfobject.embedSWF...) the flash parameter base: "/". The default configuration expects e.g. www.yourdomain/fileadmin/slideshowpro.

How to use

• Create a new page content and change type to "Special" => "SlideShowPro"
• Upload images
• The extension will automatically create the images.xml files for the content element and store them into  folder www.yourdomain/typo3temp/slideshowpro/
