Slide show issue

[Eric Hoffman]

Hi,

I was able to follow the slide show in the bio box instructions and got a slide show going centered and all, so far so good.

I just discovered that if I click (left click) on the current slide it sends me to the SmugMug home site. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Also, I have the thumbnails showing at the bottom of the slide show and at either end of the thumbs there are arrows that display forward and back respectively when I hover on them. When I actually click on these arrows supposedly to advance or go back nothing happens.

I thought clicking on these arrows would bring up the next, or previous row of eight visible slides, is that not the way it should work?

Thanks for any help on this.

The reason clicking on your slideshow takes you to the smugmug home page is because you told it to go there with this parameter in your slideshow code:
clickUrl: 'http://www.smugmug.com',
You should change that to one of your own pages. All of the slideshow parameters are shown on the help page at http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow (http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow). Scroll down past the examples to see the parameters.

I thought I did as you suggested, replacing the click url with this
clickUrl: 'http://www.erichoffmanphotos.com/gallery/7528081", and now the slide show disapeared.

You can't mix and match quotes. If you start a quoted string with a single quote you must also end it with a single quote. Change
clickUrl: 'http://www.erichoffmanphotos.com/gallery/7528081",
To

clickUrl: 'http://www.erichoffmanphotos.com/gallery/7528081',

I got the slide show back, I had used a " at the end instead of a '

That got the ss back, but now when I click on the current slide it goes to a blank page.

If the gallery you're referencing is a newer gallery (as in within the past 18 months), the url must include the album id, an underscore, and the album key.

For example, for your Valley of Fire gallery you would need http://www.erichoffmanphotos.com/gallery/7401498_P82zu. Or you can use the shortcut of
clickUrl: '/gallery/7401498_P82zu',

Does that mean everything in that url, like this?

Yes - see the examples I added to my previous post.

When I look at "Andy's Demo Site" the forward and back arrows for the thumbs at the bottom of his slide show work as I would like mine to, how can I make this happen?

Thanks for any help on this.
