Minor update to ImageSlideShow

July 24, 2008 · Filed Under ImageSlideshow, joomla · 2 Comments 

Following on from a number of comments left here on the website and some direct email, including helpful hints and tips, I’ve a minor update to ImageSlideShow to share.

It is a minor update but an important one. Unfortunately due to the way ISS has to work and my limited knowledge of Joomla, ISS would fail validation for XHTML due to how the internal CSS and javascript files were loaded.

David sent me a resolution to this demonstrating the use of the addStyleSheet and the addScript functionality of the Joomla JDocument class 

$doc = &Jfactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet(JURI::root(true) . '/modules/mod_briaskISS/mod_briaskISS.css');
$doc->addScript(JURI::root(true) . '/modules/mod_briaskISS/mod_briaskISS.js');

So that change has been made, tested and the updated version of ImageSlideShow is available from here .

If you have any questions on ImageSlideShow, please post the question in my ImageSlideShow forum.

OK Computer! Just start already…

My long suffering Dell is giving up the ghost. The main hard drive has packed up and left… the backup thankfully is alive but is not bootable so kinda hard to actually make any use of it… It’ll be a while before I can get a replacement and get my environments back up and running.
