    Hi there,

    I’ve checked out Mono Slide Show and slideshow pro… both use flash

    Basically, I want to have a number of images uploaded, and have it cycle through them. Would be ideal if it was not flash, so iphones/ipads etc can still use it…

    Easy to add new photos, etc.

    Advice?

    I’m interested in something like this too.  A nice looking lightbox like feature.

    One that is not flash is Front Page Slide Show…
    http://www.frontpageslideshow.net/

    Has anyone used this in EE (a search on the forums tells me no…

    Is there something else that is a better fit with EE, ike, that actually integrates with EE?

    I use Nivo Slider, it’s pretty easy to implement and has a few different transition types to chose from.

    Without seeing your code it’s hard to tell. Maybe the javascript file isn’t being linked to properly?

    I’ve got Nivo Slider installed, and it seems a bit trigger-happy with the transitions, even if I put a speed in there, it is not consistant. Hmmm.

    I do like the simplicity of Cycle, but, it seems to conflict with modalbox editing of entries. I’ve set things up so that I can edit entries using a modalbox, and SafeCracker, and it’s pretty slick. Cycle seems to conflict with one of the js files required for that… not sure exactly what is going on, but I have narrowed it down to 1 modalbox js file.

    Still looking around more…
