excellent!Author Name: colinCreated: 14 Mar 2012
it's refreshing to have such a full featured module developed so actively with responsive support. hopefully we will remember to support it each time we use it for a commercial project and keep projects like this healthy. it's a staple of any cmsms site. thanks again.

Syntax ErrorAuthor Name: ShawnCreated: 22 Mar 2012
Hi,

Is anyone receiving this error message when attempting to upload files using the new jquery uploader?

"SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character"

Thanks,
Shawn
Re: Syntax ErrorAuthor Name: ManuelCreated: 22 Mar 2012
Not me, i even find myself going to the showtime module to upload any images not intended for use with the showtime module (instead of going to the image or file manager) :)
Are you sure you are not trying to upload images with funky characters in the filename?

Greetings,
Manuel
Feature requestAuthor Name: FranckCreated: 26 Mar 2012
Hi Peter,

your module rocks! Great job! I have a FR though: would it be possible to insert js call at the bottom of the page for performance reason? Cos if I put the jquery script at that place, the showtime script won't work. What do I have to do if I want to do it before an update of the module? Thanx! :-)
Reply: Feature requestAuthor Name: PeterCreated: 26 Mar 2012
You can turn off the jQuery default loading setting in preferences tab.
Then you can place the jQuery script manually in your template

Oh, I actually did, I was speaking about the {cms_jquery} I put just before the tag, and was wondering if there was a way to put the showtime (or nivo slider that I use) at the bottom too?

Nice module + Relpy: Syntax errorAuthor Name: RobCreated: 27 Mar 2012
Great module Peter - thankyou.

In reply to Shawn's syntax error - I too had this error when using the Jquery uploader, but changing the folder permissions (where I was uploading images to) fixed it.
Nice module + Relpy: Syntax errorAuthor Name: ShawnCreated: 27 Mar 2012
Thanks Rob for the feedback. I tried changing the folder permissions but sadly the error still occurs. Peter did mention that I should turn off error reporting but I wasn't sure where or how to do this. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
loading problemAuthor Name: HarmOCreated: 29 Mar 2012
Nice module, many possibilities. I've used it many times. thank you for this great extension!

But with the last version (1.1) i seem to have a problem with loading in google chroome.
The first time loading the webpage, it has a problem with running the script before it the page is loaded.

(i use the JQuery 1.5 lib due to other jQuery scripts on the site)

Thanks for this amazing module ! I was wondering if tags can be embedded in the comments area.... idea is to use it as dynamic content or news rotator....thinking aloud....

A great stuff !

SVN repository not up to dateAuthor Name: jamaaCreated: 19 Apr 2012
I've given up on the svn repository at cmsms.org. The repositpry is at version 3.0 while the current release is 3.2. I have some minor modifications of the module that I like to maintain throughout updates, and without svn, it's a very painful process to update the module... :(

SVN is updated now.

thanks! It wouldn't hurt to add a commit message next time ;-)
Reply : SVN repository not up to dateAuthor Name: jamaaCreated: 19 Apr 2012
oops, I think something went wrong, the current svn revision 15 is significantly different than the current file release. A lot of files seem to be missing in the svn repository.
Reply : SVN repository not up to dateAuthor Name: PeterCreated: 19 Apr 2012
It's all good, some files were indeed deleted. For example: the upload system got replaced by jQuery upload. And of course to keep the download small I deleted those files.
showtime 3.1 & 3.2 sliders are now centeredAuthor Name: watermanCreated: 29 Apr 2012
hi peter,

the new 3.x slider looks excellent, but after upgrading one of the site I use showtime I noticed that the 3.1 and 3.2 showtime sliders now are centered in the page. In the previous 2.x versions the slider appeared default at the right-hand side of the page.

any suggestion?
Replay: Showtime 3.1 & 3.2 sliders are now centeredAuthor Name: PeterCreated: 29 Apr 2012
You can just put the slider in a div and set it to : Float left.
Like this :
<div style="float: left;">{Showtime show='21'}</div>
Multiple instances not workingAuthor Name: EnixCreated: 3 May 2012
I am trying to add a top slider using the Nivo Slider option, and it works.
But if I am trying to add another slider on the same page (using Nivo Slider or JQuery option) it doesn't work.
If the second one is using the JQuery option i get the error: "$('ul#slides_2').cycle is not a function".

Works if the second one is Flash.

So main idea: if you use Nivo Slider will crash the rest javascript sliders (using the same module SHow time, just different shows.

Any help will be much appreciated.
Reply: Multiple instances not workingAuthor Name: PeterCreated: 3 May 2012
it's designed to work with multiple jQuery sliders from the same type.
So if you combine 2 or more nivosliders together, it 'll work.
But if you gone combine a nivoslider and a jQuery Cycle... then it 'll conflict.
This module has it limits :-)
Thank youAuthor Name: EnixCreated: 3 May 2012
Peter, Thank you for your fast response, Great job! You have the best slider for CMSMS!

Ps: two nivo sliders will not work together also, because they apply the same id-s for the pictures holders.
But you can add as many sliders using the jquery cycle or flash on the same page.

Thank you again!

Hi Enix,

Yes it works, just install the latest version, Showtime 3.2.
I did fix this problem already. Thanks
Comment widthAuthor Name: Jorge GarciaCreated: 15 May 2012
In earlier version, we can set the width for the Comments in the file Showtime.module.php
(ex: width:-moz-min-content; ). In the last version, where we can find this parameters?

you can changes CSS settings in "class.showtime_CSS_NIVO.php" under the "lib" dir.
