Update to the Ultimate Xara Slideshow

[Acorn]

This is a simplification and clarification to the https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...Xara-Slideshow.
It will work for XPro+ and XDPXv18.5. You may have some issues with Xara Bugs that affected earlier versions.

The Website (or Placeholder) Code (head) is three lines of JavaScript to cycle through the pages of a Supersite/Transitions website:

<script>

function showTime() { xr_spapp( (xr_curp + 1)%xr_spapn ); } // Thanks to siran

var pageWait = 4157; // uses milliSeconds

var presentation = setInterval(function() { showTime() }, pageWait);
</script>

You can place the entire website into an IFRAME (Embed a website Widget) to realise a full slider capability.

It is up to you what you present.
Each page can have its own Transition applied and its time to present set separately.

At its simplest, you could just have an image or text for each Slide. Or both.
You can add links and other effects to make the whole thing interactive.

I have included some extra code to allow a Pause button to be pressed.
The Slide controls are basic as the timer is relentless, so you need not uses them.

I played with the first batch of the Supersite sliders and a very simple one is, hopefully, amusing a few people in the Gold Coast as we speak.

I rarely understand how these things work, but can usually spot the what's and why's, if not the how's of it all. However, I cannot see where the transitions are on this one. Where's the bit that tells the individual page to rotate, flip, slide?

Chris, hiding in plain sight : Web Properties > Page > Page transition.

See, I was trying to overcomplicate it by looking for code. Move that pesky simple thing out of my way and pass me my periodic table and scientific calcumebob.

Nice.

That's a gem, Acorn! I had an issue with all pages suddenly shifting upon completing a transition when the browser window was smaller than the site. This was remedied by selecting Web Properties/Export/Scale to fit width maximum and setting the value to 1440 (the page size you set).
