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>);

Sliding Panel slide direction

Hi there,
I'm using the slide panel effect for multiple sets of panels
within the same page. I've copied the code and changed all the
appropriate css and js refs. Problem is that the original is
sliding horizontal from right to left as it should, but for some
reason the copied one is sliding vertically from bottom to top (?)
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Here is my test page (scroll down and use the "select"
navigation tool below description text:

Thanks for any help! --Lisa

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?

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?

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.

Creating SEF URLs and getting directly access to sliding panels

I'm working on a Spry based project that is using SlidingPanels widget with tabs. I usually use "<a href="#" onclick='..." expression to call panels. But the URL never changes as you know. I guess there are some ways to get access to a specified panel by typing URLs into address bar like "main.html?sPanelsLevel1=Id1#Div1&sPanelsLevel2=Id2#Div2...". I tried to use SpryURLUtils but couldn't manage that yet
If I can get these URLs i will use them for creating SEF URLs for google adwords and a sitemap.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for reply Ben,
Sure, I had a look at this page. But there is no problem with navigate panels with showPanel(PID). I just wanna get the URL to each sliding panel.

Sliding panel widget controls a la Brightcove website

I'm interesting in building a sliding panels widget with controls that behave as seen on the Brightcove website (Aug.2010). Specifically, when the user clicks on the previous or next buttons, the controls along the bottom change to an "active" state to properly indicate which is the current slide/panel. I assume this would be achieved through javascript. I have been trying to find a source where this method has been documented and have had no luck so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Brightcove uses a JQuery sliding panel. Google the subject and you will find your answer.
If you want to use Spry, have a look at the second example here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/slidingpanels/SlidingPanelsSample.html
Or have a look at customizing http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2141541

Sliding Panels Auto Advance w/ Timer

Hi everyone. I'm looking to make my sliding panels advance
with a simple timer. I know this can be done (right?) but can't
find any way to do this. I have text content in my panels (no
images) so the posted example of a gallery doesn't help me much.
I have no problem setting up the panels as I want, I just
want to make them advance every few seconds.
Anyone please help!!
Thanks so much,
Varen Swaab

Instead of creating a custom script, I decided to extend the widget it self. So everything can be controlled from the widget constructor.
Before we get started a small side note:
I would advice to put the changes in a seperate script, and not to modify the current SlidingPanels.js. This way, if you happen to update to Spry 1.7 it will not overwrite the change you made. But if you do not wish to update just paste it in the SprySlidingPanels.js (This saves a HTTP request, resulting in a slightly faster page load, maintainablity vs performance)
The changes allow you specify the following new options in the constructor:
- automatic: true / false [boolean]
turns automatic sliding panels on or off, off by default
- direction: 0 / 1 [number or Spry.forward , Spry.backward if you have SpryEffects included]
direction that panels should automaticly slide to, 1 is forward, 2 is backward
- each: 1000 [number]
time in miliseconds, note I had to name this "each" instead of duration, because duration handles the sliding panel animation duration.
Example constructor:
var sp1 = new Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels("SlidingPanels1", { automatic: false, direction: 0, each: 5000 });
It also adds 3 new methods to the sliding panel:
- .start [ sp1.start(); ]
This allows you to start the automatic sliding of the panels, this will also work, if you did not specify automatic in your constructor
- .stop [ sp1.stop(); ]
Stops automatic sliding of the panels
- .setDirection [ sp1.setDirection(1); ]
Sets a new direction for the sliding panels, requires the same values as you can specify in the sliding panels constructor
The new code:
// line 121 of SprySlidingPanels.js
Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.attachBehaviors = function()
     var ele = this.element;
     if (!ele)
          return;
     if (this.enableKeyboardNavigation)
          var focusEle = null;
          var tabIndexAttr = ele.attributes.getNamedItem("tabindex");
          if (tabIndexAttr || ele.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "a")
               focusEle = ele;
          if (focusEle)
               var self = this;
               Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.addEventListener(focusEle, "focus", function(e) { return self.onFocus(e || window.event); }, false);
               Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.addEventListener(focusEle, "blur", function(e) { return self.onBlur(e || window.event); }, false);
               Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.addEventListener(focusEle, "keydown", function(e) { return self.onKeyDown(e || window.event); }, false);
     if (this.currentPanel)
          // Temporarily turn off animation when showing the
          // initial panel.
          var ea = this.enableAnimation;
          this.enableAnimation = false;
          this.showPanel(this.currentPanel);
          this.enableAnimation = ea;
     if (this.automatic){
          this.start();
// These are all new methods
Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.start = function(){
     var self = this; // reference to this, so we can use it inside our function
     this.automaticStarted = setInterval(function(){
               var panels = self.getContentPanels(),
                    panelcount = panels.length,
                    current = self.getCurrentPanel(),
                    newpanel;
               // locate the current panel index, and check if we need to increase or decrease the panel
               for(var i = 0; i < panelcount; i++){
                    if(panels[i] == current){
                         self.direction == 1 ? (i++) : (i--);
                         self.showPanel( self.direction == 1 ? (i >= panels.length ? 0 : i) : (i < 0 ? panels.length -1 : i));
                         break; // stop looping, we already found and are displaying our new panel
     }, this.each || 3000);
Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.stop = function(){
     if(this.automaticStarted && typeof this.automaticStarted == 'number'){
          clearInterval(this.automaticStarted);
          this.automaticStarted = null;
Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels.prototype.setDirection = function(direction){
     this.direction = direction;

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.

Safari 4 problems - HTMLDataSet/Sliding Panels

Hi,
I've been building a fairly basic photo gallery site and was having no problems with the site until I downloaded and installed Safari 4. For some reason the detailRegions are not loading properly in Safari 4. I have thumbnails in the sliding panels that load fine but the larger versions of the photos no longer appear in Safari below the sliding panels and on the right sidebar the paypal buttons no longer appear either. IE and FF seem to be working fine still. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new to this so please bear with me if I have any glaring mistakes. THANKS!!!

It doesn't work correctly in Firefox either,
If you check out generated code, you will see that the data ins't selected correctly, or that maybe your HTML is correctly.
For example.. type this in the url bar of your browser; javascript:alert(ds1.getData()[0]['HiRes_Id']); and you will see it alerts <span></span>.
So i would suggest to recheck your rowSelectors and validate your page for HTML errors.

Sliding Panels

Have a problem with the sliding panels widget. Say for
example I have 2 panels - each with a number of form fields on. If
I tab through the form fields on panel 1 the focus automatically
goes to the form fields on panel 2 and therefore panel 2 is visible
in it's current position.
Here's an example:

Any ideas how to fix this?

So the problem with just showing the panel that has focus is
that we don't know what the designer/developer intended. For
example, the sliding panels widget could be used to present a
wizard, where the user is not allowed to proceed to the next page
(panel) until they have dones something specific.
So a possible workaround for this is to use CSS to hide
elements that are not visible. Elements on the page that are not
visible, can't receive focus. Try adding the following CSS
somewhere *BELOW* SprySlidingPanels.css on your page:
<style type="text/css">
.SlidingPanelsContent {
overflow: hidden;
.SlidingPanelsContent * {
visibility: hidden;
.SlidingPanelsCurrentPanel *, .SlidingPanelsAnimating * {
visibility: visible;
</style>
The sliding panels widget programatically places
SlidingPanelsCurrentPanel and SlidingPanelsAnimating classes on the
various panels at strategic times. The styles above make use of
these classes to hide content when they aren't showing. Thus
preventing them from getting focus. Note that the overflow:hidden
on the SlidingPanelsContent class is necessary because if it is
auto or scroll, the browser will place the div in the tab order so
it can get focus. If it is overflow:hidden, it does not do this.

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 {

    <div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="p5">Panel 5</div>
    <div class="SlidingPanelsContent" id="p6">Panel 6</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var sp1 = new Spry.Widget.SlidingPanels("panelwidget");
</script>
Has anyone got any suggestions please as I know it's something simple, I just can't work it out. I've tested it in FF and IE6
Thanks in advance, Adam

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