SlideShowPro Account Center: User Forums / Changing background colour

jmaclifford · 2011-01-30 09:18:51

Hi all,
I recently purchased and installed slideshowpro and slidepress for my wordpress based site and am enjoying getting to grips with what it is capable of. It is by far the nicest way to display images in wordpress that I have come across so far, great work!

Just a quick question, I am trying to change the background colour of the slidepress style 'techno' to white, which I will be using for all my folio galleries. I have gone through the style settings and changed various options to white (#ffffff) to see if it would work, but to no avail. I assumed that the correct place to edit this setting would be under 'Content', 'Content Area', 'Background Color', is that right or am I way off?

Many thanks,

Jonathan

change your flashvars to this

Code:

var flashvars = { 
paramXMLPath: "http://jonathanclifford.com/wp-content/plugins/slidepress/tools/param.php?gid=home",
initialURL: escape(document.location),
contentAreaBackgroundAlpha: "0",
contentAreaStrokeAppearance: 'Hidden',
useExternalInterface: true
};

Thanks for you reply, I'm still figuring this all out so could you tell me exactly where it is I need to edit the code? Also, i am only trying to have the background white when I full screen the slideshow as the background won't be visible at any other time, will the code you have provided do this? Thanks again!

You will need to edit the code in the html file.
You will see this inside the html file.

Code:

var flashvars = { 
paramXMLPath: "http://jonathanclifford.com/wp-content/plugins/slidepress/tools/param.php?gid=home",
initialURL: escape(document.location),
useExternalInterface: true
};

add these 2 lines

Code:

contentAreaBackgroundAlpha: "0",
contentAreaStrokeAppearance: 'Hidden',

so that it looks like the code I posted before

Ok thanks again, I'm having real difficulty locating the html file that you speak of? I can see the code you are talking about when I view the source of my homepage through Chrome but can't find the html file anywhere?

It may be called index.php.

jmaclifford · 2011-01-31 03:00:58

I checked but the index.php doesn't feature any of that code, it simply says:

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

wp-blog-header.php didn't have it either...

It's all good, figured it out, thanks for your help zippie!
