Slideshow captions - Limitation of lines

Hello. In my slideshow, I would like to show more than 3 lines of captions and not have the rest of the lines cut off. Is there a way to do this? I was able to solve my problem when viewing the thumbnail version of the slideshow by spacing down the caption to outside the slideshow box. Thanks!

You can change slideshow caption height by editing photos page js file, see my post in this thread:

Slideshow captions lose hard returns

The captions I carefully typed in with extra lines (in order to have 1-2 lines visible on the photo page, but a full caption with descriptions in the slideshow) all run together in the slideshow - i.e, the extra hard returns are stripped out.
Any way to fix this? Use a different character for the return?

You can NOT force hard returns in slideshow captions.
This is a case of 'lost in translation'. slideshow captions are converted into javascript array, any special or non ASCII characters will be converted to escape unicode text or Unix escape character (\n = return or new line).
browsers don't what they are, they only knows HTML tags, eg:
= new line.
cmlu: to change slideshow duration you may want to try to add this into slideshow.html (just before </html>):
<script type="text/javascript">slideTime = 10000;</script>
10000 = 10 seconds.

Slideshow Captions Messed Up

Is anyone else having a problem with slideshow captions? The problem is that the captions do not match the picture being displayed when using the classic theme.
To troubleshoot, I created a brand new user, started iPhoto, and copied in some of the "Fruit" ichat icons. When I play a "classic" slideshow with titles and descriptions displayed, the text is wrong from the start. I have also repaired permissions and confirmed that I have the latest version of iPhoto.
Does anyone else see this, or should I try to reload the software?

The recent update to iPhoto (8.0.2) has solved my problem.
Glad to hear.
This implies either that the bug was real and the update fixed it (and that the people that tried to help didn't try to replicate the bug, but instead only offered canned advice) or the update inadvertently fixed my problem (maybe some kind of hidden permissions thing).
So, it was which, a bug? Or a glitch local to your machine? Well, I tried to replicate the problem, and guess what, I simply didn’t have the issue. My captions weren’t messed up. There have been no other reports of the problem on here that I have seen. For those reasos I would suspect a local glitch.
So how could someone replicate this?

Slideshow Captions - How Can I Delete the Quotation Marks?

I am creating a slideshow in Lightroom 3 using the Caption and Rating preset. There are no quotation marks around the metadata captions, but when I preview the slideshow all my captions have quotation marks. I have searched Edit>Preferences in the Slideshow module, but there is no mention of captions or quotation marks. How can I get rid of the quotes?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
(3 days later: 55 people have looked at this discussion, but no one has responded. I'm still hoping I can delete the quotation marks around my slideshow captions. Any ideas out there somewhere?)

You will have to change the preset. Just click in the text box, then on the tool bar change Custom Settings, to Caption.
You can then save this as a new preset.

Custom Line Manager Data Role is limiting the Line Manager Actions

Hi
I have Created Custom Data Role on Seeded Line manager role and it is limiting the Line Manager actions (I see only Promotion and Manage Directs actions)
since i cant create a New data Role on Line Manager Abstract role. I followed these steps to do the same:
1. I have Created the 'SPS Plant Rep New' job role which inheritance the seeded 'Line Manager (HCM)'
2. i have Create the 'SPS Tulsa Plant Rep' data role with custom person Criteria (Include some locations and Exclude some Department)
3. i have assigned the 'SPS Tulsa Plant Rep' data role with person
4. ran the Retrieve process
5. Login as person who has the 'SPS Tulsa Plant Rep' data role and pick employee who meets the criteria and click on Actions, we are seeing only Promote and Manage Directs actions
but seed line Manager will have all actions like transfer, terminate, Change location, change manager.. ets but i am not seeing any of them.
my Custom Data role Suppose to restrict only people search not actions.
please refer the doc for all screenshots.
Thanks
Kranthi

Is this "On Site" or on Cloud ? The actions that you mention are they secured by function security (that is with OPSS permissions) or data security restricting access on the actions on specific data ? If this is data security and you have access to the database you potentially use the Data Security PLSQL APIs to triage what the issue is.

Trying to add a lightbox slideshow caption link to a url hosed my site.

In the lightbox slideshow caption I tried to add an html link to the url of the image and now the all the slide show are hosed. It didn't link from the caption text but was embedded into the sllde show so that all the thumbnails linked to the same url.I even created a new slideshow from scratch and it still linked to the url. Do I have to rebuild the whole site? How and where do look to find the hyperlink to remove it?

Please try to select the caption and remove the link from hyperlink dropdown in top bar menu in Muse.
If this is not the case , post screenshots from design view.
Thanks,

Possible to hide / unhide slideshow captions?

Is there a way to hide/unhide slideshow captions? I would like to do something similar to this: http://www.geschewuerfel.com/GalleryMain.asp?GalleryID=117628&AKey=DSWC4N8C . If you click on one of the images so it is full screen, then the 'i' button underneath will reveal the caption.

Hi
You can try using Lightbox composition and then insert Tooltip in container area.
In tooltip settings, select stacked position and transition as vertical then it would be similar effect as you have mentioned. Arrange caption , navigation buttons in same area so that they should show up as inline.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Are A3 metadata captions limited to a certain # of lines/characters?

I created a five line preset and appended it to 'caption' in the metadata drop down window. The five lines are my name - club affililiation - cell number - email address and copyright name.
Using batch I 'copied' the caption preset to 20 images. I then highlighted them and slecetd 'print images'. All works well until I get to the metadta options. I choose the 'caption' option but all I see is line one, two and part of line 3 of my 5-line caption. If I select EXIF all the lines of data are shown - far more than my 5 lined caption.
What am I doing wrong? When printing a contact sheet (or a standrad sheet with 20 pictures) am I limited to the size of the caption that will print? I checked the preview but only the same two plus lines of the caption are shown.

Ah so that's what coment lines are, learn something new every day.
Anyway I tried printing out just one image on a sheet and making it small and even then Aperture will only print out two full ines and a part of the thrid line of the comment section. Didn;t matter where the caption was printed (above, below, left, right)
What the OP needs to do is create a custom Metadata view which contains the fields he wishes to include with the image.
The five lines are my name - club affililiation - cell number - email address and copyright name.
Four of the fields exist alrady name, email adress, copywrite and telephone number. He can pick one of the other fields to use as the club info or else create a custom field.
So doing that I get:

Slideshow captions appear to have boxes around them when viewed on mobile devices

Hi... I searched for this problem but couldn't find a reference - appologies if I didn't quite use the right search terms and it's already been answered.
I am having problems with a basic slideshow widget - when viewed on a PC (iMac in this instance) the image captions, counter and navigation buttons do NOT have any visible borders (I haven't stroked or filled the container boxes, other than the nav buttons). However, view the same slideshow on an iPad, or iPhone and there appears to be boxes around the caption, counter and nav buttons. I would prefer there to be no visible box outlines.
The problem page can be viewed here (remember, fine on a PC, not fine on a mobile device)
http://mikehiggs.co.uk/musesite/case-studies.html
There are two slide shows on the page as I tried two different widgets - both have the same problem.
The odd thing is, I used the same method on the Home Page slideshow at the top of the page and this is working fine.
If anyone can shed any light on this 'problem' I'd very much appreciate it - I have tried everything I know at this stage.
Thanks in advance of any help.
Addendum...
If I change the slideshow transitions from 'horizontal' to 'fade' the problem goes away. But I would prefer the slideshow to slide.
Just thought this extra info may help diagnose the problem.

Can you please check with another phone device and if you still see the same effect , please upload few screenshots.

Slideshow captions in Lightroom

Is there a way to add captions to images in LR other than the add caption in the slideshow module which adds a very blocky generic caption in quotes that is not usually as appealing as the image. It is on of the few drawbacks to the program I have found.

There are two ways:
1) If you have <Text Overlays> selected, directly click on the caption text so that the box is highlighted (you'll see the white end points for resizing). While the box is highlighted, in the Panel <Text Overlays> the the slider for <Opacity> and the selection triangles for <Font> and <Size> will be activated. Select a font that you like in a size that suits you. You also can change the color of the text overlay by clicking directly in the white rectangle besides the word <Text Overlay>.
2) You also can select different metadata - for instance title - by clicking on the letters <ABC> in the center, just below the image, then on the small double triangle, and selecting <Edit>. See screen shot:
This will bring up the Text Editor where you can select various metadata, or enter Custom text. You can change fonts, etc as described above.

Slideshow Captions in Different Positions

Is it possible to have the captions in a slideshow in different places on the slides? I uncheck "Edit Together" but when I move the caption in 1 slide they move in all of them.

There's only one caption position for all the images in a slideshow.
The slideshow widget is specialized for creating image slideshows. The composition widget is a much more flexible widget which can be used to put any combination of images and text in the trigger containers or target containers of the widget. A composition widget could be used to create a slideshow with multiple captions per image and/or captions at different locations for each image. The drawback of the composition widget is that due to the flexible nature of the widget, very little is automated for you and thus it's much more labor intensive to create an image slideshow using the composition widget.

Is it possible to place images within Muse slideshow captions?

I want to caption some headshots- in a slideshow - with a bit of written blurb, plus logo images for the companies they've worked for.
Thank you!

You should be able to add images to a slideshow's caption just like you would wrap text around an image in a text frame as described here - http://www.adobekb.com/typography_pt3.html.
As soon you place an image within the caption, you would notice that it would be placed as an Inline element and the Wrap panel would be activated in order to move the image around the text.

Spry Image Slideshow -- captions?

After spending the better part of last week building a jquery slideshow, I just received my CS5 package to install!
There are many slideshows in my future (the boss loves them), but I definitely need to be able to add captions...
Would love to know if there is a way to put them in.
Thanks!

Think I finally found at least one solution.
Viewing the code from adobe labs demo, it looks like the image title attribute can be used as a caption, but has to be positioned with css.

Limitation of line items in a sales order

Dear Guys,
Kindly confirm me whether I can make a single sales order with 500 line items or not ? Again if it no then how many line items can be taken in single sales order.
Thanks and regards,
Atul

dear atul
I think the correct reply would be 999,999 because data type of item number POSNR is NUM 6, which means that it can hold upto value 999,999.
However, at the same time keep the following into consideration:
1. FI document has a restriction of 999 line items per document. So, depending on the account settings, there will be a lower limit. E.g. if each Sales order line item results in 2 line items in the accounting document, then the max. no. of SO line items is limited to 499.
2. If FI summarization is active, then the system summarizes the account postings, thus reducing the no. of FI line items. Hence, a SO can accomodate more than 999 line items. However, this means that certain line item level details will not be available to the Finance guys (which they may not like).
3. As the number of line items in a Sales order increases, the system performance suffers greatly. There are performance fixes available, but in general, it is painful to load a SO with large no. of line times through BDC's. 10 Sales orders with 100 lines each consume less system resources than 1 Sales order with 1000 lines.

Slideshow Size Limitation on PSE 9?

My PSE 9 slideshow keeps crashing at the same spot on both Preview and WMV build processes. I have about 200 pictures averaging 1 MB and 4 songs in the show and it keeps crashing about 64% of the way through. Previous builds worked fine but started crashing after I added 10 additional pictures.Is there a size limitation?

I’ve never tried with so many images.
Try cutting the size in half; then joining the wmv clips in Windows Movie maker or another free utility, and finally adding the music mix.
