Blank slides in sliding panels

I used to be able to insert blank slides into the sliding panels theme. I did this all the time to manipulate the slideshow to display the way I wanted, and to create chapter breaks. I have a few published slideshows that prove it. Now, however, the function is greyed out unless I'm in Classic or Ken Burns themes. When I open my working files of those published slideshows all the places where the blank slides were (originally black to match the background) are white boxes. Anyone have any idea what happened?

Sliding Panels - Slide Order / Direction

Hello,
The Sliding Panels script is awesome! Here's what I can't figure out how to do:
I have 3 images I'm sliding between and I want the order to slide from...
Slide 1 slides DOWN to slide 2.
Slide 2 slides DOWN to slide 3.
Slide 3 slides UP to slide 2.
Slide 2 slides UP to slide 1.
Then start over with 1 down to 2, etc...
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's another possibility, if you can wrap your mind around calling Panel 3 "Panel 1" and then opening Panel "1" (the technical third panel) by default. Then panel 2 would come DOWN, and panel 1 (which you name 3!!!) would also come DOWN. You might want to call them by page rather than by "next" or "previous". Hijinks.
Here's a link that will help you change the default panelt:

Sliding panels slide to top on update

Hello,
I have a div of sliding panels made up of dataset content,
whenever I reload the dataset, the sliding panels slide to the
first panel. How can I prevent this?
Thanks

U could add a observ that listens to the data load. and if
its loaded u fire sp1.showPanel(<old panel location number>);

When transfering tracks across to ipod a sliding panel appears on the right hand side of itunes. after acknowleadging the transfer the panel does not slide back out of the way to alow another transfer.

When transfering tracks to an ipod a sliding panel appears on the right hand side of itunes. This allows the selected track to be transfered. After registering this action the panel does not slide back out of the way to allow scrolling and more song selection. Any solutions..Help?

I have an even simpler method. I use MyPublisher to print my books. I select their page layout for a two-page spread, drag and drop the image. DONE! I understand that most people have their favorite places to have work done. I have been extremely pleased with MyPublisher.com, so I haven't even tried the book module in Lightroom.

Sliding Panels Sample from

that it actually pulls the data in...you can see what I have so far

Sweet!! Getting much closer. I had to remove a few extra
detailregion tags I had in there. Now the only issue is that the
numbers at the bottom don't actually jump to page 2 & 3, and in
the static htm sample, it also had a Next or Prev tags that would
have to be conditionally added...not sure how that would work...
Hmm...and it doesn't seem to work in IE at all??
Thanks for your help!! Any ideas on the other two issues and
the browser problem would be MUCH appreciated...

Is it possible to get one sliding panel to automatically display a web site?

I have a slinding panel widget with 6 content panes. One of the tabs is named "Online Help'. I would like the content pane for that tab to automattically display a form that is on a website.
The 'onclick' that is associated with the "Online Help" tab is calling the sliding panel number. If I repace it with an http address, the other panels continue to display but, that panel displays blank.
I have tried a CSS style tag for the panel that includes the http url in a background attribute. That is not working either.
I made a stab at spry:detailregion, but I don't know if a url can be a prameter in that element.
Does anyone have ideas on what I can try?
Thanks,
meileendougherty

Well, a url can be the contents of a data cell, but it will only give you a link, not the other website.
Although iframes are often considered tricky, I have not had bad luck with them. Put an iframe in your content cell, and use your other website as the source. You will have to give the iframe dimensions, or it will default to 'pretty small'.

Possible to have two occurences of sliding panels in same location on page?

Hi, any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.
I'm redesigning my portfolio page, and am trying to use the sliding panels widget for the two gallery areas. Ideally, when you click the links in the Design area on the left side navigation section, a Sliding Panels Content Group containing all the design work slides should appear on the right side of the page. When you click the links in the Illustration area, a Sliding Panels Content Group containing all the illustration work slides should replace the Design group in the exact same location on the page. Similar to links appearing in an iframe, but without having to click links and upload a page in the frame for each image.
I've managed to get the two different Content Groups to both be on the same page at the same time, like is done with the multiple examples at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/slidingpanels/SlidingPanelsSample.html, but no luck getting a single Content Group to appear and then be replaced by the second group by clicking one of the links to the left.
Here's the page I'm working with, with only one of the Content Groups active:
http://www.susanmeyerart.com/redesign/
eta: I'm working with Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1.

I think you can do this by using Spry Tabbed Panels as your container for the two sets of Sliding Panels. I have not tried this particular nesting before, but if you set up a test page, you can try it out.
Each set of Sliding Panels would appear as content on one of the Tabbed Panels. When each Tabbed Panel Tab is clicked, the corresponding Panel appears, holding your Sliding Panels.
This may not work, but, as they say...you don't know until you try!

Background image instead of color for each sliding panel

I'm working with sliding panels and trying to add some style to the page. I have figured out how to put a different background color on each slide and even how to put a background image on the whole thing, but I cannot figure out how to use multiple images (one for each pannel). When I put the images in place of the colors it works fine in the Dreamweaver screen but totally disapears in a web browser. Here is the url:    http://www.centerofdiscovery.com/the_center_of_discovery_home_page.html
any help would be great!

Regarding getting the tabs to sit on top of the content panel, speaking generally here, make the containing div for both the tabs and the content panel to have a margin: 0 auto; setting.This is for horizontal alignment.
The blue rectangle can be belayed by setting border: none; on the specific rule that applies to the "a" links within that container. It is an indication that there is a link there.
Please rename the images that have word-spaces in their file names. Some browsers react badly to word-spaces.
I see that you have
<p>
</p><div class="slidingpanelandtab">
    <blockquote>
      <p><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(0); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" class="oneColFixCtrHdr" src="Images/panneltab.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(1); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltabb.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(2); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltaba.jpg"/></a><a onclick="sp1.showPanel(3); return false;" href="#"><img width="144" height="70" src="Images/panneltabc.jpg"/></a></p>
    </blockquote>
Which sets off your "slidingpanelandtab" class div with an empty paragraph space <p></p> and then sets off the next section not only with <p></p> paragraph spacing but also with a <blockquote></blockquote>, which will by all rights indent that element.
I suggest that you get rid of the spurious paragraph tags and the blockquote; that should tighten up your spacing.

Linking to a specific SLIDING panel remotely

I'm trying to link to a specific SLIDING panel (not a tabbed
panel) from a remote link. I'm sure this can be done using
SpryURLUtils.js as I've successfully achieved the result with
tabbed panels. There's not as much online information on doing this
with sliding panels, though, and I've had no luck experimenting on
my own.
Can anyone help?
Here are two example pages of the pages in question:
http://www.studiohyperset.com/sandbox/aafd/impressionist.php
http://www.studiohyperset.com/sandbox/aafd/fullsizepgs/impressionist/stillLifeFlowers.htm
The user launches the second page from the first and should
be able to get back to the second sliding panel on the first page
by clicking "RETURN." Right now, when the user clicks "RETURN,"
s/he returns to the first slide in the sequence.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Control layout of "Sliding Panels"?

Is there a way to control the layout of the sliding panels slide show theme? I have quite a few photos I'd like to display in a rather short length of time. It is also challenging because the photos are stills I captured from some prior iMovie/iDVDs so the resolution just isn't there. Therefore I'm trying to keep the layouts with the smaller pictures: 3, 4, 5 panels at a time (which look much better) and remove the layout for the single picture, double picture which exposes the poor resolution and doesn't let me get as many pictures fit into the time I need.

Thanks Terence, but I didn't ask about the timing of slides. I wanted to know if there is some way to adjust the layout so it only uses the smaller, multi-photo display in the Sliding Panels style. I'm not seeing anything in iPhoto itself, but I'm currently looking at a copy I made of the SlidingPanels.mrbStyle in the root Library > Application Support > iLifeSlideshow > Styles. In the bundle there is a StyleDescription.plist. And I notice there are 15 effect presets. The preset IDs are labeled pretty clearly. I'm thinking maybe if I delete some of the effect presets and rename the style maybe I'll get just the layout elements I need. I guess it is worth a shot unless anyone here knows of some way within iPhoto to select which layouts are used?

Sliding Panel Content Not Hidden

Hi All. This is my first post so apologies if I do something wrong.
I'm setting up sliding panels to work on my site (I've used them before) and this time I can't get the panels that aren't displayed to hide. The panels slide, but all panels are visable at all times. Here is the code -
CSS
.SlidingPanels {
    position: relative;
    width: 221px;
    height: 260px;
    padding: 0px;
    border: none;
.SlidingPanelsContentGroup {
    position: relative;
    width: 10000px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    border: none;
.SlidingPanelsContent {
    width: 221px;
    height: 260px;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    border: none;
.SlidingPanelsAnimating * {
    overflow: hidden !important;
.SlidingPanelsCurrentPanel {
.SlidingPanelsFocused {

Solved it. I've been at this since 5am and put a rouge <! -- in the css file which screwed it up

Sliding Panels Help for Javascript Idiot

I have a simple thumbnail gallery to which I am attempting to
apply the Spry Sliding Panels widget. I am creating the gallery
from an xml file, and this seems to be working fine.
I looked at the code of the Sliding Panels examples, but
being the Spry and javascript idiot that I am, I was not able to
incorporate the Sliding Panels successfully. Would someone mind
taking a look at my code and perhaps commenting about how I would
go about adding the sliding panel? I would appreciate it.
P.s., I currently have 5 thumbnails visible. I would like to
slide to the next 5 on the click of the arrows that are included.
Here is the code, without any of my failed attempts at SP
included:

<div id="thumbsmask">
<div id="thumbsbox" spry:region="dsPhotos dsGalleries
dsGallery">
<div id="p{ds_RowNumber}" spry:repeat="dsPhotos">
<div class="thumb">
<img id="tn{ds_RowID}"
alt=""
src="galleries/{dsGalleries::@base}{dsGallery::@base}/thumbnails/{@thumbpath}"
width="90"
height="90"
style="opacity:0.3; filter:alpha(opacity=30)"
onmouseover="MM_effectAppearFade('tn{ds_RowID}', 500, 30,
100, false)"
onmouseout="MM_effectAppearFade('tn{ds_RowID}', 500, 100,
30, true)"
onclick="HandleThumbnailClick('{ds_RowID}');"
title="tn{ds_RowID}" />
</div>
<div class="thumbspacer"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<div id="arrowholder">
<div id="arrowright">
<a href="#">
<img src="images/arrowright.png" alt="left" width="20"

<div id="arrowleft">
<a href="#">
<img src="images/arrowlef.png" alt="right" width="20"
height="20" border="0" />
</a>
</div>

Thanks for the response.
I have tried to implement that, and it still does not work.
Here is my code with it implemented.
Thanks again.

Default Color of Blank Slide

I am in PhotoShop Elements 5 Slide Show Editor. I have inserted a blank slide and want its color to be blue. I have some pictures that don't fill the screen and I want the background color (on the right and left of the picture) to be black. When I go to preferences I can change the slide show background color to blue but that also changes the color on the sides of the narrow picture to blue. Is there some way to have a blank side color be blue and the background color of a narrow picture to be black without having to edit each individually?

>I have inserted a blank slide and want its color to be blue.
Leave the background color at its default black in Preferences.
Then, after you insert the blank slide,
Method 1
Look at the panels on the right of the slide show preview area and you should see a
b Properties
palette window. It has a Backgound Color square that you click on and it brings up a Color Picker window, from which you can choose your blue color.
Method 2
Right click on that new slide in the small images across the bottom and choose
b Change Background Color
from the right click menu. Use the Color Picker window.
After you have done one slide in the color that you want (with either method)
You can use the
b Edit menu
to
b Copy
that blank (now blue color) slide and
b Paste
it wherever in the slide show you want an additional blue slide.

Sliding Panels in iPhoto

I love creating slideshows with iPhoto 09. I prefer using the Sliding Panels theme, but have run into problems when I adjust the photos to fit the sliding panel configuration. Sometimes iPhoto cuts off an important part of the photo. When I adjust the photo so that it is framed how I want it, iPhoto occasionally undoes my adjustment. Sometimes, I catch it and readjust it, and it stays. Sometimes, it appears to change it after I think I am done and end up with embarrassing glitches. Does anyone know how I can ensure that the changes I make are permanent (at least until I change them)?
Thank you.

Did you ever come up with a resolution to this? I like the style myself for a simple intro but need to make adjustments in final cut for timing and such. The only thing I can think of is to draw the frame and then slide the pictures in and out behind. I'd love an easier way.
