Closed Feature: Allow font to be changed via configuration [786]

sbeeler — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:32:32 GMT

There are no configuration settings which allow the user to configure the font used by slide.show. It uses whatever is specified within the generic.xaml file. In theroy a user could edit this file to change the font. However it is better if we provide configuration settings to allow this.

Closed Issue: Result of ParseDouble depends on culture [950]

sbeeler — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:32:30 GMT

The return value of the function ParseDouble in XmlConfigurationProvider depends on the culture of the client computer: a configuration <option name="BackgroundOpacity" value="0.2" /> will result in a value of 2 on a computer with a "," as decimal sign (e.g. german). This can be fixed with

//old code: if (double.TryParse(input, out result))
System.Globalization.NumberStyles style = System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint;
if (double.TryParse(input, style, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out result))

Closed Feature: Add support for Windows Live Photo Gallery people tags [3737]

sbeeler — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:32:28 GMT

The slide show viewer should be able to display people tags defined in Windows Live Photo Gallery. When user puts their mouse over a tagged person, the person's name or tag should appear similar to how it is displayed in Windows Live Photo Gallery itself.

Commented Issue: Blank screen appears when trying to view samples [8515]

BradSmithSC — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:23:18 GMT

I have downloaded the source and release for the SlideShow. But when I try to view any of the samples (by double-clicking the html file to open it in IE) I just get a blank screen, with a box where I would expect the Silverlight control to appear. I copied the Vertigo.SlideShow.xap file into the ClientBin folder, but I must be missing something. Is anybody able to help please? I'd really like to be able to use this control, it looks great.

This is a common issue when first setting up the slideshow. Search the *discussions* section for 'blank screen' or 'black screen'. There are many helpful entries to help you figure it out. Good luck.

Commented Issue: Thumbnail tray does not advance to the next set of thumbnails when the slideshow is playing [8213]

SpiderJerusalem — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:02:20 GMT

When the slideshow is playing, the thumbnail tray highlights the thumbnail of the current picture being shown; this works fine for the first row of thumbnails, but when the slideshow gets beyond the end of the thumbails currently showing in the thumbnail tray, the thumbnail tray does not automatically advance to correspond to the next set of thumbnails that the slideshow has reached. This appears to be an oversight, since users shouldn't be expected to have to manually page through the thumbnail tray in order to keep up with the slideshow's progress through a set.

And if anyone has already accounted for this in their own code, I would absolutely LOVE to see your code so I can fix mine too!

Thanks.

SOLVED!!!

I was able to make this work (you can read more specifics in my Silverlight forum post: http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/217677/530182.aspx ).

Created Issue: Elements in Configuration XML file must appear in a certain order. [7377]

charleszipp — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 22:56:51 GMT

I wanted to post this incase anyone else runs into it. It took me a long time to figure out what was wrong.

I have used an http handler class to create my configuration file on the fly. I am putting Slide.Show into an asp.net mvc2 site. I am rendering the slide show on a details page. I wanted it to show different images depending on what item the details was being displayed for. Anyway, i was able to do this successfully until i noticed that the slide show control was being rendered in a way where there was no activity. Basically, you saw the slide show buttons, thumbnails, etc. However, you couldnt select any of the images, albums, etc. I had a static configuration file i knew worked (copy of the Tall sample in the download kit) so i compared my generated xml file to the one from the sample. They were identical (used a few different comparison tools, no eyeballing) except for the order in which the modules appeared. So, i took the contents of the generated xml file and copied it into the static one. Sure enough it broke. Then, i reordered the modules to look like the one from the sample and it started working.

Attached is the generated xml file. If you reorder things and throw this into a file comparison tool, you will notice that they are identical. The only difference is the order. Yet, the generated one renders the slide show control inactive (nothing is clickable) and the static one works. The static xml file i refer to is the one under samples\tall. Note, i removed the scripts section from both. That makes no difference in my testing if the scripts section is missing.

Created Issue: TrimSize method [6609]

kcnz — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:39:06 GMT

Doesn't work correctly. I have a standard width of a slideshow viewer set at 810 with the height at 380. It was cutting my description short even though it was obvious it would fit. There would be like 1 and 1/2 lines of text and I still had more text but wouldn't fill anymore. The wierd thing is that when i add more text it fills in more so eventually if I add enough text (way more than the two lines worth) it will fill up the two lines and add elipses.

I commented out the following code as I don't need it to automaticly adjust the width of my descriptions. I didn't want to spend the time to go through and figure out why it doesn't work because I don't need it, just letting you know.

element.Text = text;

//nz Commented out because it doesn't work correctly
//string copyText = text;
//int numRows = ((int)elementHeight / 30);

//for (int i = 1; i <= numRows; i++)
//{
// do
// {
// // if contains a space, try to break after words
// if (copyText.LastIndexOf(' ') >= 0)
// {
// copyText = copyText.Substring(0, copyText.LastIndexOf(' '));
// }
// else
// {
// copyText = copyText.Substring(0, copyText.Length - 1);
// }

// copyBlock.Text = copyText + ( i<numRows ? "" : "...");
// }
// while (copyBlock.ActualWidth > width);

// if (i < numRows)
// copyText = text.Substring(copyText.Length);
//}

//element.Text = text.Substring(0, text.IndexOf(copyText) + copyText.Length) + "...";

Commented Feature: Add Configuration option to hide Vertigo logo [3507]

BradSmithSC — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 19:12:24 GMT

Allow user to hide Vertigo logo shown on album page via configuration option. A user can already remove the Vertigo logo by editing AlbumPage.cs and removing the Created By OGITREV region, but that shouldn't be necessary and may violate the open source license. A general configuration option to allow the user to hide the logo would be preferable, with the default being to show the logo.

This will need approval from Vertigo before it can be implemented.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: BradSmithSC **

I hope the big picture plan Vertigo has is to continue to develop this and make it wildly popular. Then eventually offer a licence purchase option that removes their logo and offers more configuration options. Users could decide which option they prefer - open source with logo or purchase with more bells and whistles.
I think many would gladly pay for this if just a few more config tweaks were available. Maybe this discussion should migrate to a 'what would you be willing to pay' to get Vertigo's attention. Obviously a lot of work has gone into this and I for one would like to see them rewarded for it.

Commented Issue: Sample doesn't work [5182]

eckard — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:36:38 GMT

Hi,
I tried to install the sample files locally but it doesn't work. All I get is an empty screen with silverlight control available (I can see when right click silverlight 3 popup comes up) but no samle pictures are loaded. It doesn't work with IE 8 neither with firefox, whereas the page works http://www.vertigo.com/slideshow.aspx.
I checked for the right version of silverlight 3 (40818and put everythin in the same file folder, removed the dot in VertigoSlideShow.xap, but nothing helped.
Any ideas welcome.
Thank's
Eckard.

Commented Issue: Sample doesn't work [5182]

eckard — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:07:22 GMT

Hi, thanks for the comment but it did not help.
I guess the difference is: <param name="source" value="<%=ResolveUrl("~/SectionControls/Vertigo.SlideShow.xap")%>" />
But when I show it (with scripts disabled) it shows the remaining " /> on the page and when I enable scripts the xap does not show up. Not sure if ResolveUrl works in html context, in google I found only hints for this in conjunction with asp.
I attach a zip file with the "test.html" and the other files but only a view pictures.

Created Issue: EnableHtmlAccess DOM/Bridge disabled causes crash [4895]

bschloz — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:45:13 GMT

Since CodePlex added the SL macro to its Wiki Markup, I was looking around for a nice compact way to represent images in my documentation. Your excellent contribution fits that bill well. However, there are two issues (related) which are problematic when using your control with the limited macro. First, the macro does not allow any parameters (initparams) to be passed. Second, the enablehtmlaccess is set to 'false' (I assume by default since I host the xap control on my site and it would be cross-dom). The second issue causes the app to crash in two places (Navigation.cs StartSlideshow and TransitionManager.cs Click anonymous delegate).

The first issue with initparams is only slightly a problem since the code defaults nicely to LightTheme and XmlDataProvider (with ../data.xml). The second is more problematic as it causes the app to crash. I downloaded the source code and made the following two changes.

1. Default to the XmlConfigurationProvider instead of the LightTheme configuration provider so that I can provide a Configuration.xml at the default location and retain control without relying on initparams.
2. Check for System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.IsEnabled prior to accessing HTML bridge features (in afforementioned Navigation.cs and TransitionManager.cs

I can provide patches if anyone wants them.

Created Issue: BUG:Browser freeze, when left mouse key down hold for 5 second [4866]

Kurko — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:46:08 GMT

Hi,
Browser freeze, when left mouse key down hold for 5 second.
SlideViewer is inherit from ButtonBase, problem is propably in ..\SlideShow\Transitions\TransitionManager.cs

My workaround is in SlideViewer (..\SlideShow\Controls\SlideViewer.cs) constructors set:
this.IsEnabled = false;

Like:

protected SlideViewer(Slide slide)
{
this.Slide = slide;

if (slide != null)
{
Source = slide.Source;

if (slide.Link != null)
{
Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
}
}
//workaround HERE
this.IsEnabled = false;
}

public SlideViewer()
: this(null)
{
IsTabStop = false;
IsEnabled = true;

Background = Configuration.Options.General.Background;
//workaround HERE
this.IsEnabled = false;
}

Vertigo thank's for great work!

Commented Issue: Blank screen when clicking on an image [4697]

bryiantan — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:19:58 GMT

As recommended by louisatwork, I'm posting my problem :

Hi,

I'm using slide.show2, when I click on an image and move the mouse at the same time the screen goes blank and I have to refresh the page to see the viewer again. The problem occurs in all browsers, so it's not a browser issue.

Simply moving the mouse over the image will not trigger the problem but clicking while moving the mouse over an image will. I'm talking about the actual image displayed in the viewer, not the thumbnails at the bottom.

Hello Bindher,

I just reproduced your problem and it seems to be a bug and should be reported as a issue in the Issue Tracker section.

I was able to intercept the exception and got the following information :

ArgumentException:Value does not fall within the expected range.

at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(IntPtr ptr, String name, CValue[] cvData)

at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodPack(IntPtr objectPtr, String methodName, Object[] rawData)

at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MouseEventArgs_GetPosition(MouseEventArgs args, UIElement relativeTo)

at System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs.GetPosition(UIElement relativeTo)

at System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)

at System.Windows.Controls.Control.OnMouseMove(Control ctrl, EventArgs e)

at MS.Internal.JoltHelper.FireEvent(IntPtr unmanagedObj, IntPtr unmanagedObjArgs, Int32 argsTypeIndex, String eventName)

The reason of the error seems to be that your current transition is removing the slide from the mediaroot and the mouse event is getting fired at the same time.

I tried the following fix and I could not reproduce the bug anymore:

In the current transition class: (ex: CrossFadeTransition.cs => SkipToFill())

Change the current line: MediaRoot.Children.Remove(fromSlide);

To: MediaRoot.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => MediaRoot.Children.Remove(fromSlide));
