I have just installed RSGallery 2.2. The slideshow moves a little too quickly for the photo captions I have in one of my galleries.

I have edited a parameter in the slideshow.rsgallery2.php which is found here: /public_html/...../components/com_rsgallery2

I have changed the display parameter from 4 seconds to 15 seconds in the code below =

SlideShow. Written by PerlScriptsJavaScripts.com

*/

effect = 23;// transition effect. number between 0 and 23, 23 is random effect
duration = 1.5;// transition duration. number of seconds effect lasts
display = 4;// seconds to diaply each image?
oW = 400;// width of stage (first image)
oH = 400;// height of stage
zW = 40;// zoom width by (add or subtracts this many pixels from image width)
zH = 30;// zoom height by

==

But still no luck. The photos still click over on the slideshow roughly every 4 seconds. Is there something else that needs to be done? Or am I on the wrong track?

Which slideshow do you use? Check it in the Backend > Components > RSGallery2 > Control Panel > Configuration > tab: Display > setting: "Select slideshow".

By default this is "slideshow_parth", so for now I'll assume that you're using that one.

This "slideshow_parth" is found in the template directory /JOOMLAROOT/components/com_rsgallery2/templates/slideshow_parth/. If you use this template the delay in the slideshow parameters can be found in the file /JOOMLAROOT/components/com_rsgallery2/templates/slideshow_parth/html/slideshow.php on line 44

Code: [Select]

<script type="text/javascript">
	function startGallery() {
		var myGallery = new gallery($('myGallery'), {
			/* Automated slideshow */
			timed: true,
			/* Show the thumbs carousel */
			showCarousel: true,
			/* Text on carousel tab */
			textShowCarousel: 'Thumbs',
			/* Thumbnail height */
			thumbHeight: 50,
			/* Thumbnail width*/
			thumbWidth: 50,
			/* Fade duration in milliseconds (500 equals 0.5 seconds)*/
			fadeDuration: 500,
			/* Delay in milliseconds (6000 equals 6 seconds)*/
			delay: 6000
		});
	}
	window.addEvent('domready',startGallery);
</script>

The delay there is 6000 milliseconds (6 seconds). The settings here are an override of the settings in the file /JOOMLAROOT/componenst/com_rsgallery2/templates/slideshow_parth/js/jd.gallery.js, which is the original JonDesign's SmoothGallery v2.0 file that is used for this particular slideshow.

The slideshow links is shown on the page with the gallery details, like this one: http://demo.rsgallery2.nl/demo-rsgallery2.html. On this demopage slideshow_parth is used.

So, yes, good attempt...

Notes:
- If you change this file and later upgrade to a newer v2, your changes will be lost, so either document your changes or create "your own template" (see http://www.rsgallery2.nl/display_and_templates/how_create_your_own_template_or_modify_semantic_template_16758.0.html).
- In v3 on Joomla 2.5 one can edit the main parameters of the slideshow_parth real easily in the RSGallery2 template manager, you don't need to change the code yourself.

Perfect! That worked. Just one thing though... I found the slideshow file in this directory - /public_html/.../components/com_rsgallery2/templates/slideshow_parth/html (ie the html directory). Thanks for your help.
