Monobridge

The Monobridge module provides an easy to use interface for the monoslideshow flash slideshow

This module DOES NOT include the slideshow itself. You will need to purchase a license for the slideshow and download it separately from www.monoslideshow.com.

This module makes installing the slideshow easy by setting up folders and paths for you automatically. It also installs a sample xml file and sample images and album. On top of this it makes most of the non xml setup features available as module parameters for you.

There will be additional configuration required to upload your own images and alter the included XML file to use them.

Requirements

  • Monoslideshow

Documentation

The first thing that needs to be done is you will need to acquire a copy of the monoslideshow.swf file from the monoslideshow homepage.

After unzipping the received file, upload the monoslideshow.swf file to the modules/mod_monobridge directory using NinjaXplorer or your favourite FTP client.

Following this you will want to decide what images you want to upload and make thumbnail images of them, as well as an image for each of the albums you wish to have. Once you have your images:

  • Upload the album image(s) to modules/mod_monobridge/album
  • Upload the main images to modules/mod_monobridge/album/images
  • Upload the thumbnails to modules/mod_monobridge/album/thumbnails

The last step is to edit the included xml file, monoslideshow.xml which is in the modules/mod_monobridge/ directory.

The default xml file looks like this:

The preferences section is where you define the layout and behavior of your slideshow. There are far too many options to list them here so we suggest you read the manual which comes with the monoslideshow.swf file.

On the demo page at monoslideshow.com you can experiment with their interactive demo and create hundreds of different layouts. Then you just need to download the xml file provided and add in your image information.

For support questions regarding the module, please use our forums. But for questions regarding the slideshow itself, you are more likely to get a useful response at the monoslideshow.com forums
