Vision
Slideshow is a javascript class for Mootools 1.2 to stream and animate the presentation of images on your website. Slideshow is the result of many trials in code attempting to create a javascript class that was lightweight, unobtrusive, a snap to setup (but also highly configurable), extendable and - built using the javascript framework with the best effects - visually very impressive. Slideshow began as a side project by Aeron Glemann, and is now open source with an MIT-style license. If you would like to contribute - improving the class in accordance with the aforementioned goals - please contact a developer for membership.
Demos
New! As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words - see how Slideshow might be used to enhance the presentation of images on your website.
Features
Many revisions later what Slideshow has lost in slimness it has gained in robustness and features:
- Dynamic resizing - Slideshow can accommodate any size presentation.
- Thumbnails - intelligent, auto-scrolling, tracking, etc.
- Full-featured controller - completely style-able with CSS.
- Animated captions - plain text or formatted with HTML.
- Fully accessible - Slideshow can be controlled with access keys.
- Automagic slideshows - create slideshows from existing HTML images.
- Varied hyperlinking options - Slideshow allows for mashups with Lightbox, Slimbox, etc.
- CSS slide transitions - designed in stylesheets, not javascript, allow for an infinite combination of effects (plus support for all Robert Penner transitions).
- Unobtrusive and degradable - Slideshow even functions with Javascript turned off!
What people have said about Slideshow
"Very Flashy, I couldnt believe it was actually written in javascript … This is the best unobtrusive slideshow I have used to date … This is javascript, incredible!"
"This is by far and away the Photo Gallery with the most features. Very well done."
"Great! Looks like an expensive flash slideshow."
"Sur la démo, Les images sont constament en mouvement, et s’enchainent par défaut via des fondus, mais vous pouvez néanmoins choisir l’enchainement parmis 6 transitions différentes!"
"La galería de imágenes más completa."
"Eindrucksvolle JS-Mootools klasse für Slideshows"
"Slideshowは表示する画像を配列で指定する事で、自動的に写真を切り替えて表示してくれる。特に、iPhoto同様に写真が移動しながら表示される点や、写真が変わる際にフェードアウトしながらと言う演出が良い。"
