jQuery Slideshow Plugin Update
I have finally found a few spare minutes to refactor the Google Code Project I started for my jQuery plugin last year. While I still am far from where I want to be with it, I have managed to set the plugin into a fully OOP codebase and add in events and the capability for custom handlers on those events. My hope is that people will now be able to find a bit more usability to the slideshow, since it is fully customizable. Feel free to swing by my Google Code page and let me know thoughts or ideas on ways to improve the slideshow as it evolves.

Is there a way to add photo label link (per say 1,2,3…) so user may manually navigate through the slideshow and so stop the slideshow as well?

As the code currently stands, a manual navigation through the slides would be possible, though not very practical. I’m in the process of adding some more hooks that would allow for exactly that type of functionality (one of which is simply keeping the index for the currently displayed slide within a member variable).
As for starting and stopping the slideshow, that will also be coming within the next iteration or two. I have already fleshed out the logic to do this well, and there will be actual functions attached to the slideshow object to “start”, “stop” or “toggle” play. The last would be something that could be attached to a play/pause button.
