comment hoooooray..love love love.. awesome job

question
when setting a higher limit say 100 the numbers go wayyy off the side covering the next rotator over
(i got side by side photo slideshows newest and featured)
im assumming theres a truncate that would limit the number of numbers shown
but thats noit ideal as it goes "off the end" and you cant go forward or back a slide
is there a way that it can ... out the middle

maybe i should just display:none that whole slide counter?
id ideally like to use it but have a way to "fit" and handle longer then usual slides in fact for the featured id like a no limit option to eventualy cycle through all featured
..
maybe it should truncate off both ends as it gets in the middle?

so start as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ..... then as it gets to 6 ...3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12...

i might try unlimited if 0 sets it to unlimited and display nine the counter...unless you have asolution

Nobody's going to stick around while 100 slides rotate. Better to set it to a lower number on random so randomly show 10 slides that change when the cache refreshes.

If you want to turn the pager off, you can do that at:
ACP -> SITE BUILDER -> CONSTRUCTION KIT -> TEMPLATES -> rotator.tpl -> MODIFY

Change:
pager: true,
to
pager: false,

to hide the numbers.

The slider is this one: http://responsiveslides.com/ there is a demo with < and > buttons on the demo page:
http://responsiveslides.com/themes/themes.html

Looks like if you add in nav: true, you'll get the buttons your after. Need to put a bit of CSS on there to make them look nice though.
        $("#s{$unique_id}").responsiveSlides({
            auto: true,          {* Boolean: Animate automatically, true or false *}
            speed: 400,          {* Integer: Speed of the transition, in milliseconds *}
            timeout: 4000,       {* Integer: Time between slide transitions, in milliseconds *}
            pager: false,         {* Boolean: Show pager, true or false *}
            nav: true,
            random: true,        {* Boolean: Randomize the order of the slides, true or false *}
            pause: true,         {* Boolean: Pause on hover, true or false *}
            maxwidth: 0,         {* Integer: Max-width of the slideshow, in pixels *}
            namespace: "rslides" {* String: change the default namespace used *}
        });

on dreadlockssite old site i had a great big head that was a slideshow..rando,m of 200+ images on random and ppl would watch it for long periods
but that was the backgrould of the entire header wich was like 300px or more tall maybe 450

maybe i should make those slideshows both featured and full ones random
with getting nearer 70,000 pics it would always be interesting..often nostalgic

Turn the pager off and go with 100 per time then. If it takes too long to load, cut it down.

Its your site, have it your way. :)

--edit--
use the crop="" feature to get the image into the aspect ratio you like.

i think 10-15 is ok thge cache expires every 300 sec i think 100 was definately 6 times longer to load

wish there was a way to make the cache for just the rotator clear out sooner so it seerved a new list every 30 sec about

jrCore_list has a setting for no_cache so that might work, or cache_seconds. The rotator uses jrCore_list to get the images.

"jrCore_list"
