Slideshow Limit?

First a word on the composition of your messages.

<i>Please</i>, separate the content of your posts with line feeds / carriage returns. Space out your thoughts and questions so that non-english users can understand and comprehend your thoughts clearly.

It is very hard to ...
1) Read your message, let alone
2) Understand what is happening, or
3) What or how you desire 'it' to work instead, let alone
4) Not get confused by your other suggestions and guesses on the possible causes.

<b>Gallery Image List Limits / Order</b>

<i>Limits</i>
Create a template override of this file for your (site) design / siteaccess : base/override/templates/full/gallery.tpl

Alter the <i>page_limit</i> variable in the following to match the desired limit.

{let page_limit=10
             children=fetch_alias( children, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
                                                   offset, $view_parameters.offset,
                                                   limit, $page_limit,
                                                   sort_by, $node.sort_array ) )
             list_count=fetch_alias( children_count, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id ) )}

Example:
<i>http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/design/base/override/templates/full/gallery.tpl</i>

Alternately you can insert a <i>settings/siteaccess/name/site.ini.append.php</i> variable here to represent the limit if you expect the need to increase this variable quickly / dynamically in the future :)

A previous post of mine shows you just how to do this quickly. <i>http://www.ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/hostname_variable</i>

<i>Order</i>
You may also alter the order of the gallery image display. Review the documentation for the <i>fetch_alias</i> and <i>fetch</i> operators and the sort_by (parameter of the fetch).

http://www.ez.no/community/forum/general/number_of_row_for_each_item_with_fetch
http://www.ez.no/community/bugs/fetch_alias_problem_with_sort_by</i>

As you can either alter an one ini setting to affect the fetch_alias globally or you can duplicate the fetch_alias, rename it and then customize that specific implementation of the desired fetch sort order ...

Alright,

Weeeeel. I take it a little here but I can't not not stop.

First, Your right, I know your right and what kills me inside is that I have been were you are now like a year ago. I was furious and a little frustrated.

What really doesn't help is I can't remember just what I did about it. I remember hacking the .... out of an override of the navigator/google.tpl only to find that it wasn't inside that file ( fuzzy logic memory engaged).

It seemed like a big deal on the onset only to backup and find it was higher up that controlled that instantiation of that negative feature ( gut shot guess ).

Sorry I don't have a better memory here or the time to relive that particular few days.

I guess I'm stepping to the side on this one, save this, it's possible and i know I've done it before.
