we are thinking about purchasing monoslideshow for our webshop. Here are a few questions:
We would like to run a mosaic of several parallel time-shifted slideshows of product images on our start page (a bit like it is done on this page: http://www.erdmoebel.de/index.php : check out the parallel slideshows on the top and the right side).
Here are our requirements:
- multiple slideshows in parallel - several possible window sizes for the slideshows - fast load times - the slides should be linked to the corresponding product pages (each slide shows a product). Would it be possible to pass session id numbers as get parameters? - no controls should be visible or accessable in the slide shows - the viewing times for each slide should be adjustable - if no flash is installed - jpg support - automatic resizing of images
Does monoslideshow support this? If yes: you got a new customer :-)
- multiple slideshows in parallel (Yes) - several possible window sizes for the slideshows (Yes) - fast load times (Yes) - the slides should be linked to the corresponding product pages (each slide shows a product). Would it be possible to pass session id numbers as get parameters? (You can provide each photo with a link to a .php page, along with variables, appended to the page call - file.php?var1=val1&var2=val2) - no controls should be visible or accessable in the slide shows (Yes) - the viewing times for each slide should be adjustable (Yes) - if no flash is installed - jpg support (Yes) - automatic resizing of images (Images are automatically scaled to fit in the slideshow, but the files itself are not resized).
I think that 9 slideshows will take up some cpu power, yes. You can style the border of a div using CSS, or by manually placing an image behind the Flash content.
