Hey there everybody, I was reading through the tutorial and checking out the example sites and thought it would make my site look a lot better. So I decided to try it out.

I tried putting in the coding in my BIO and the slide show pops up, but it says that this album requires a password, however, I dont have a password for that album:dunno

The gallery im trying to use in the slide show is my "most popular photos". Is this not possible?


Any help would be greatly appriciated, let me know if you need more info from me,

thanks,
-Mike

Your slideshow code isn't correct. You have:

AlbumID: '#378382312',

which won't work for a couple reasons. First, 378382312 is not a gallery number (it's an image ID). Second, you can't have a "#" in front of it, even if it was a gallery number.

If you want the slideshow to show your popular photos, then you need to use a "feedURL" instead of an AlbumID. See here (http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow) for how to specify a feedURL for the slideshow and see here (http://smugmug.jot.com/WikiHome/Customization/FeedsTricks) for how to construct a feedURL for your popular photos.

To recap, to display your popular photos in the slideshow, you need to remove the AlbumID line from your slideshow declaration and add a feedURL line with the right feed URL in it.
