Please advise: Shiraz plugin image / tiddler slideshow

[Mohammad]

I have created a pure CSS to let create an automatic slideshow from images

http://csstransition.tiddlyspot.com/#Cross-Fade%20Images%20with%20Timer

This can also be used at the landing pages of wiki to even shows content of several tiddlers.

This is simlar to slideshow in your mobile image viewer or other image viewers.

I wish to know do you think it is interesting to be added into the Shiraz plugin or do you think these are fantasy and not good to be used!

Note:

 The example only shows a proof of concept it can be wrapped into a macro

can accept filter to selectively include images or tiddlers

Mohammad,

It is up to you as to if you think the Shiraz plugin is the correct place to publish, perhaps it is so you do not fragment your work too much. Shiraz can become about improved ways to present information and images in tiddlywiki.

This is a good idea, and your work of late is doing something I thought we needed in Tiddlywiki and that is more components that allow us to implement common visual information presentation that you can find on any website out there. These are suited to plugins because they should be optional extras rather than load the standard distribution but I think a lot of people will be looking for this kind of thing.

An example of bringing such methods into tiddlywiki, and Dreaming I would ask what if there was a way to present tiddlers using parallax https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STwoa-9jxi0 as an example (Just found this and watched the start, so I am not necessarily recommending the whole video).

I really appreciate your work but some feedback I would suggest, is integrating it a little more with tiddlywiki, to make them a little easier to use. This is however not a simple thing to discuss. Not only must we use a deep understanding of tiddlywiki when integrating but also avoid making decisions that reduce the functionality in the process. I am happy to contribute in the long run in this area.

Thanks again for your generous community contributions.

Regards

Tony

Hi Tony!

Many thanks for your feedback.

Yes, I think simplicity and ease of use by end users should be the first objective!

In Shiraz 2 I focused mainly on CSS for adding components for better visually effects and nice presentation, so I removed many irrelevant parts, while image macros and css were added.

I decided to not add animation effects like cross fading and leave them for another work.
