Hi, I'm writing this post inbetween the waiting periods for mod_hot_effects_rotator to refresh itself...
It takes about 3-4 minutes to insert each picture. It's not possible just to type in the path for each image, you have to click on the select button...
then wait for the dialog to load up...
then wait for the folders to display...
then try to select one of the folders where the images are (I got round having to upload each image file one by one by using FTP to upload them all at once to my 'rotator' folder)... for some reason, it always defaults to demo/rotator (maybe that's were the previous file was stored, so I have to go up to the parent folder and then select the folder I want)
[There is a bug here, btw. If I click on one of the folders in the drop-down list then nothing happens.]
then select the photo...
then click on Insert.
Then I have to click on the next image settings to be able to repeat the whole process.
Each time, there is a delay of about 40-50 seconds while a lot of internet activity happens in the background (and I have a fast 8Mbps connection!)
Is there some way to streamline the process of adding image files to the rotator? Can I enter all the settings manually in some text file, or is it stored in the database in some way?
Many thanks,
Gary
