I am trying to incorporate a fading slideshow using Weavers Mootools
suite in to an Expression Engine site but all I am getting is little
blue ?s. I am wondering if the paths to the scripts are getting lost
going from freeway to EE templates. So far I have only tried it on
this page <http://www.miresbeck.co.uk/indexa.php/nursery/
accessibility/> The action works on an html page that is outside of
the template file folder http://www.miresbeck.co.uk/_donot.html
Have any of the code gurus out there got any ideas?
One side effect of adding the mootools suite to a Freeway page is that
the CSS menu preview doesn’t work it just shows the code.
Another question about Mootools can I set it to get the photos from an external folder such as an EE Gallery, or do the photos have to be on my computer and then uploaded with freeway?
The images for the mootools fading slideshow need to reside on your computer.
Additionally, the final location of the page should not really have an influence on the operation of the slideshow. Granted it does rely on remote files, but no different than any other image file on the page. If the page is showing other images fine, then the remote files for the slideshow should be just fine also.
info: The action actually iterates through the source of images (be they individually specified or a folder of images chosen on your local machine) and writes each one to the html page. No source file-names = no slides. Being able to specify a remote folder would be a nice touch, but it is just not possible for the foreseeable future.
most of the other images are within the EE and are sourced from EEs
image folder.
Where I have the Hi Viz style sheet I found that I also had to apply
that to the one file outside the Templates Folder, that the EE action
requires to be there, for it to work on the whole site. The main CSS
file that freeway produces is then “hidden” within the template files
and the site fails CSS validation as the CSS file cannot be found by
the validation website because it is not where the path to file in the
header says that it should be.
I have just checked again and it doesn’t seem to like the slide show
code either
