@Bjornq I am sure it is possible to make it work with folders but it would not be simple. I would avoid folders if at all possible.

How can you make this work when you have folders in your picture library?

@Smashburn if you want to put code in your comment wrap it in [ 'sourcecode' ] [/ 'sourcecode' ] (take the quotes out) otherwise it gets stripped out.
If it is saying object not found make sure you have a ul or div on the page with the right id value as referneced in the script.

I’ve tried all the suggestions, built a seperate page, made sure its referenceing the JQuery and Slider Libraries. It returns an “Objects Not Found” error during the ” ” call.

Any ideas?

@Keat do you have a link to the jQuery script and the s3 slider script on the page? Also make sure the list name is correct sometimes the name that displays through the UI is not the real name of the list.

I just can’t get the code to work. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I tried this (along with syles) in a blank aspx…nothin.

Thanks.

$(document).ready(function() {
var soapEnv = ” \
\
\
/SamplePictures \
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
“;
$.ajax({
url: “_vti_bin/lists.asmx”,
type: “POST”,
dataType: “xml”,
data: soapEnv,
complete: processResult,
contentType: “text/xml; charset=\”utf-8\”"
});
});
function processResult(xData, status) {
$(xData.responseXML).find(“z\\:row”).each(function() {
var urlValue = $(this).attr(“ows_FileDirRef”);
var urlArray;
var urlName;
if (urlValue == undefined)
{
urlName = “- – -”;
}
else {
urlArray = urlValue.split(“;#”);
urlName= urlArray[1];
}
var thumbUrl = $(this).attr(“ows_NameOrTitle”);
var thumbArray;
var thumb;
if (thumbUrl == undefined)
{
thumb = “- – -”;
}
else {
thumbArray = thumbUrl.split(“.”);
thumb= thumbArray[0];
}
var liHtml = “View Larger” + $(this).attr(“ows_Title”) + “” + $(this).attr(“ows_Description”) + “”;
$(“#s3sliderContent”).append(liHtml);
});
$(‘#s3slider’).s3Slider({timeOut: 4000 });
}

Ok. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue.

Try creating a blank .aspx page in SP Designer and placing all the code there (does not need to be in a CEWP) and see if it works. There may be something in the masterpage / page layout causing the issue.
Try using the code here. I made some changes and tried it on a couple of vm’s and it seems to work fine.
Remove the CSS from the CEWP and remove the lin that runs the plugin. This will let you be sure that the web service is actually getting the content onto the page.

Hope this helps. You can contact me directly if needed (dave [dot] cavins [at] gmail.com)

I reference jquery from our mastertemplate and s3slider from the same cewp. I didn’t show that reference when I provided my code sample.

Are you referencing jquery and the s3slider plugin somewhere else in the page? I will test you code and let you know how it works for me.

It seems like jQuery or the s3Slider plugin javascript files may not be loading on the page. Check and be sure both scripts are loading before that line of code fires.

when trying to implement I get object doesn’t support this property or Method, pointing to the line with:
“$(‘#s3slider’).s3Slider({timeOut: 9000 })

I did change the name of the div to s3slider.
