    Embeddable Flash Slideshow: Featureset

    Hello

    first: Thanks for the embeddable slideshow...

    Although there are three things I would like to see modified and I doubt it's a lot of work:

    1. Option for "Auto-Play"....  so that the slideshow starts as soon as it's loaded.

    2. Thumbnail-Strip: don't place it over the actual photos... preferably  place it beneath and make the photo a tad smaller to accomodate this.

    3. Sort Order: a Random option would be lovely.

     

    Other than that: perfect ;)

     

    thanks

     Daniel

    Laura,

     

    thanks for the info...

     

    if you don't mind, here are a cpuple more additions which would make the slideshow even more powerful:

    - Configurable "on-Click" event/action with the following options:

       1. Do nothing

       2. Enter Full-Screen Mode / exit Full-Screen mode

       3. Open the clicked photo in it's respective Zenfolio gallery

       4. Custom URL

    - Option to disable any type of "interaction" (Nav-Buttons,...)...  this would be cool with auto-playing & looping slideshows inside a website...

    - Set custom splash-screen photo - this would let me select a specific photo from any (even not slideshow related gallery) of my zenfolio galleries and use it as a "splash screen" with the "play-button" as it is the case with the actual slideshow...

     

    thanks

    Re: Embeddable Flash Slideshow: Featureset

    I'll second the request for both a random sort order option and "auto play."

    I'm creating slideshows as portfolio samples for specific pages on my site--a home page show, wedding/engagement show, senior show.  I've created collections for the photos that I want in the shows and add photos to the collections from the appropriate galleries.  The only purpose for these collections is the slide shows, so a random sort order would work perfectly--not to mention an auto play on page load.

    Thanks--

    Michael

    First off - I have to say this new feature is wicked cool!  That said - of course now we want more...

    1. Auto-Play Auto-Play Auto-Play Auto-Play Auto-Play Auto-Play Auto-Play Auto-Play

    2. Option for NO control of anything by the viewer - no thumbs - nothing

    3. Music (linked by URL on owner's site - also auto-play) w/option to stop/control volume/hide.

    4.  No header, footer, title - nothing.

    5.  Library - when one can save their created shows for review and management - add new, edit, delete etc.

    Karen, have you maybe thought about the idea of Auto-Play?

    The above would be perfect.  The music I can live without, but please add the other features.

    Next Release?

    C'mon People don't make us wait for months to put The AutoStart Feature in...

    This is something that should have been put in as a user defined feature to begin with.

    It's like pulling teeth around here to get you guys to do something that members request.

    It took you forever to give us the drag and drop and now this,Not a good way to keep customers coming back.......
