Hello David and Walter, I hope you guys are well!
After I posted this thread last month I forgot to ask something else: Is the ScriptyFader action or the Target Show/hide action compatible with Walter’s carousel? I’m considering making one of the carousel panels with a slideshow, but don’t want to use the showcase…
many thanks,
Marcus

In which way do you want to combine them? Do you want to have the
thumbnails for a slideshow within one of the panes of a Carousel, or
do you want to have multiple Carousel effects that come and go through
one of these show/hide methods?

Hi Walter, thanks!
Actually, I want the thumbnails for a slideshow within one of the panels of a carousel and maybe…a ScriptyAccordion menu within another carousel panel…
Is this viable or I am kind of crazy? 
Thanks again

The thumbnails one is totally fine, you should try the ScriptyLightbox
or ScriptyLightbox2 for this, I know they will work together. You can
try the accordion, but personally I think that would be a bridge too
far. You have to balance your effects within a carousel, not because
it will break, but because the result will be spatially confusing to
your visitors. The point of the Carousel isn’t so much to cram lots of
content into a small space, rather to direct focus to a portion of a
larger group of related information. It’s really quite elegant when
it’s 3 - 5 panes, each with a different “take” on a single topic.
Think of how Apple uses this effect on their site, or Panic does with
Coda (they invented this, as far as I know).

Thank you, Walter!
You’re completely right about mixing the carousel with the accordion menu. It would be totally confusing. I desist of using these together. Actually, what I want to reach is a concept similar to the one on the link bellow:
http://glasshouse.co.za/html.php#home
I know I could do it making a wide page and using horizontal anchors, but as suggested a couple of weeks ago on this thread If I use the carousel effect and make my images in segments, and place each segment in a same-sized HTML box, I won’t see any gap between the segments and the effect will appear as if it was one single image.
I am working on a website for a client that makes sliding doors and my idea for the concept is to make a left fixed sidebar where the tabs (home, about, services, etc) like bottoms would slide the different panels giving the impression of a different page. On the main page or the first panel I’d like to include the slideshow with target show/hide or the scriptyfader. What do you think?
Thanks again!

Following the instructions of the carousel action when I apply the carousel action on the html box with everything inside it disappear when I preview the page. I know I am doing something wrong but have no idea what. I’ve downloaded your example here: Carousel in Freeway
and compared to mine and everything is similar but can’t find the error…

Walter, I finally could fit and make the target show/hide work within the carousel. My next challenge will be make a PHP feedback work within the carousel too.
I see that in your example the tabs appear to have a rollover effect or CSS menu effect. Can I combine both carousel tab and rollover to achieve this?
thanks,
Marcus

Thank you David. Great example. My only question is that the PHP Form actions won’t allow me to see a preview of the page and considering the website is going to be one whole page it wil be tricky for mantenaince. Any suggestions?

Marcus

The PHP Feedback Form Action will absolutely let you see a preview. The Action writes all the PHP into an external file, so you can leave your page set with an .html file extension. No worries about being able to preview.

Yes - there is a common misconception - fuelled by the tutorial video - that a page using the PHPFF action requires a .php suffix.
This is simply NOT the case - for the reason that Walter has stated ie all the PHP is in an external action generated -go.php file.

Hello David,
I must be doing something wrong. I renamed my contact page as contact.html, but first after that, the PHP Easiform action gave me an alert that says (Your page should be named .php for this action, this page appears not to be) Anyway I uploaded the page like this contact.html but browser says “page not found”…
Do you have any idea what’s wrong?
thanks

The PHP easiform actions DO require the .php file suffix but you had previously said that you wanted to use the PHP feedback action which does NOT.
So go back and put the .php suffix back in if that is the action you want to use.
If not then use the PHP Feedback Form action and have the ability to preview locally.

Oh, that’s the confusion I have, because I thought it would be the same created by Tim Plum, isn’t it? The PHP Feedback requires is another thing right? I have just downloaded it from http://www.freewayactions.com.
I really don’t know the difference between them. I’ll have to look at it carefully later and see if I can change it.
thanks David!

Easiform action by Mike B requires Ioncube Loaders and allows Captcha implementation whereas Tim Plumbs PHP Feedback Form action is much easier to set up and requires no mention of php files.
There also is a Freeway Moment tutorial on Tim’s action which incorrectly states that the form page should be suffixed .php.
I believe a major concern you had was about previewing locally because you essentially had 1 page that contained everything in a Carousel and that is why you wanted the ability to preview without uploading to the server.
If that remains the case then it will need to be Tim’s action!

Thank you again David! Yes, this is the case. I want the preview ability because of the carousel page I’m building.
At the time I built my own page I used the PHP easiform and thought the PHP feedback action would be the same.

Marcus

Remember ignore it when it tells you to change the page suffix to php!

Another tip for form building.
It will help to give you a far neater form layout if you use a Table to hold your form elements.
A 2 column table with enough rows to have each field on a different line will keep everything together.
The first column should have your Titles ie Name Email Address etc while the 2nd should contain each individual form element. This page shows the structure I normally use - I have left borders on the table cells to better illustrate the construction. These would be hidden in a production version. http://www.deltadesign.co/formtest.html
