I have the slides working now but it looks to be just showing them in question order, like 1, 2, 3, etc...I was hoping it would pull randomly but I've tested it 5 times now and same sequence every time
Odd - after figuring out that the slides.xml goes into the folder with the slides, mine display in a random order as a group.
So If I have a 3 slides per group and 8 groupings the order they appear would be something like
#8question, #8clue, #8answer
#3question, #3clue, #3answer
#7question, #7clue, #7answer
#1question, #1clue, #1answer
etc etc
check you slides.xml file, I thought I saw in the Post that it uses REGEX so insure that the strings you are checking match the slide names.
For me having my slides named in this convention -
q1.jpg (for question), q1c.jpg (for clue), q1a.jpg (for answer)
This slides.xml produced a random grouping selection
Code:
<slides>
<slide>
<question format="q[0-9].jpg" />
<clue format="q[0-9]+c.jpg" />
<answer format="q[0-9]+a.jpg" />
</slide>
</slides>
Hope this helps
