Hello,

Is there a way to tweak the HTML in the slideshow code so that the slideshow centers on my webpage?

Also, I signed up for pro, how to do i make the slideshow bigger?

Thanks Geoff!

Hi Val,

To make your slideshow bigger, just click "Settings" at the bottom of the creator (or Slideshow -> Settings at the top), and you can change the width and height.  Republish and you're good to go.

To change the alignment, wrap the code in a div and set the alignment on that

Code:

<div align="center">
 (slideshow code goes here]
</div>

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Great tool and thanks!

I'm trying to wrap text around a slideroll presentation and I'm having a little trouble.  My initial thought would be a simple div align="right" and the text would wrap.  But that's not the case.

I'm posting the presentations on Blogger and the code I'm using is below:

text.This is text.This is text.This is text.This is text.
<div align= "right">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://slideroll.com/player.swf?s=envtp887&nocache=1&nologo=0" id="slideshow" base="https://slideroll.com" width="360" height="240" wmode="transparent" salign="tl" scale="noscale">
<param name="base" value="https://slideroll.com" />
<param name="movie" value="https://slideroll.com/player.swf?s=envtp887&nologo=0" />
<param name="s" value="envtp887" />
<param name="scale" VALUE="noscale" />
<param name="salign" VALUE="tl" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</div>

You can see my site (in development!) here: http://gvassar.blogspot.com/

I'll keep hacking away at it but please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,

Hi!

You need to put your text after your floated div, then it should work fine.

So,

Code:

<div align="right"><object ... </object></div>
My text goes here.

You may also need to force the width of the div:

Code:

<div align="right" style="width: 360px;">

Let me know if it doesn't work!
-Geoff

Hmmm...Still no luck, at least in FireFox or Safari.  Is there something in the Slideroll code that's negating the word wrap?  Here's the full HTML content of my post:

<div align="right">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://slideroll.com/player.swf?s=envtp887&nocache=1&nologo=0" id="slideshow" base="https://slideroll.com" width="360" height="240" wmode="transparent" salign="tl" scale="noscale">
<param name="base" value="https://slideroll.com" />
<param name="movie" value="https://slideroll.com/player.swf?s=envtp887&nologo=0" />
<param name="s" value="envtp887" />
<param name="scale" VALUE="noscale" />
<param name="salign" VALUE="tl" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
</div>
This is text.This is text.This is text.This is text.This is text.This is text.This is text.This is text.....

Try this:

Code:

<div style="float: right; margin: auto; width: 360px;">

Firefox and Safari need auto margins.

Let me know if it still won't budge!

That did it...Thanks!

I've changed the blogname to beautifulisle.blogspot.com, so you can see the results there.

Slideroll is a great tool and I thank you for it.  I think it's very fairly priced too!

A couple of suggestions and questions...

What sold me was the ease of setup and quality of the free slideshow I could setup.  After paying for the service, I found I'm not so good at the panning and zoooming and would like to have the ability to just add my photos and let slideroll make the slideshow from the photos I select.  I have yet to master the "Ken Burns" features and to be honest, don't know if I have the time to learn.  Is that available or am I missing something?

Last, I'd like to see a way to have better picture quality and would pay for that ability.  Is that in the works?

Thanks for the great tool and the help.

Slideroll doesn't add a border.  Perhaps there's a border in your CSS somewhere?
