[Pro] Showcase gallery & iphone/ipad

hi all, just a quickie - does a Showcase gallery show on the above devices (I don’t have either to test), had a very quick hunt through the forum and couldn’t find any ref to this.
thanks

They should do yes. I have noticed that having a lot of very large (in file size) images in a slideshow can sometimes cause the slideshow to stop progressing, presumably when some overall page size limit is met.

Thanks Joe, in which case could they manually force the next picture
along by clicking the forward arrow, or once it stops - thats it?

In my experience it just stopped. But that was with images which were several MB in size (and lots of them too). If this is necessary, provide a secondary page for mobiles and use smaller images.

Thanks for that info again Joe, I’ll keep badgering friends with
iPhones to test things out.

Thanks David, it’s actually my own site I’m updating, so http://www.trevreav.co.uk

Homepage is fine, it’s just copy, but it’s the other example pages
which have the slideshows attached. It’s all still a work in progress,
so don’t take too much notice of the content, really just trying
things out in my spare time.

Thanks

Well, the galleries don’t work in Safari or iPad, so figure out what is going on with browsers first.

Also, the pages load very slowly. I’m guessing the files are very large.

Good luck.

Thanks George, I’m not surprised that it has trouble loading on the
iPad or iPhone after Joe’s comments on file sizes earlier (I have the
slideshow set at 750px, and there are 25 pics in one of them), but I
am surprised at Safari, because it works fine here in Firefox, Chrome
and Safari.

gallery4.jpg is nearly 1Mb on its own! - Huge!

The galleries work on my iPad quite well!

The iPhone is more difficult because the controls are so wee you cannot click the play button - maybe it should be in slideshow mode?

Thanks for these 2 comments David, when I get a moment I’ll get back
onto it.

I’m assuming that by taking the jpeg output levels down a bit and
reducing the size of the slideshow window, it should reduce things a
fair bit.

Yes you can do that but alternatively you could have a reduced size less graphics intensive version for iPad/iPhone users directed there using the iPhone/iPad redirect action.

But as a rule your images sizes are pretty large even for Joe Average.
