slideshow for portfolio

[DanielB]

okay, so i want this slideshow for a portfolio... it will just be all the images in this gallery (http://standoutphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/1319558)

i've looked at the threads regarding the slideshows... looked at the coding. i can make out some of it, but naturally, its too advanced for me... so i'm lookin for some help. i really like how andy has his, and i want the slideshow to be in the "Portfolio" link for my navbar. instead of the gallery.

you guys are life-savers,
Daniel

daniel, what you'll need to do is put an if statement in the footer where you assign your variables...check out my site for an example.

i have different slideshows on bigwebguy.smugmug.com and bigwebguy.smugmug.com/madeline

[DanielB]

Did you follow the directions? :ear

[bwg]

put something like <div id="portfolioSS"></div> in the gallery description

then set slideshowContainerId = "portfolioSS"

[DanielB]

<script type=”text/Javascript”>
/*required slideshow variables */
slideshowContainterID = “portfolioSS”;
slideshowAlbumId = “1319558”;
resizetoPhoto = true;
slideDuration = 5;
firstSlideUrl = “http://StandOutphoto.smugmug.com/photos/62251369-M.jpg”;

Daniel, there was a thred awile back, before the slide show hack was invented, that gave a code set to remove the SM tools from the slide show option in the galleries. I do not remember the thread or code, but I bet Andy will. He seems to remeber everthing. That would solve your problems.

[brandofamily]

I found the code in an old CSS fcode set I had saved....


/*No Tools in Slide Show*/
.gallery_XXXXXXX .toolsbox {display: none;}

Obviously change the XXXXXXX to your gallery numbers.
This gives you a bsic slide show w/o the tools....
Hope this helps....
I assume you can arrange the setting for the gallery how ever you wish before hiding the tools. Like slide duration etc.

daniel, open up that page in firefox then look at the javascript console.

your editing in Word b0rked things up beyond recognition.

start over.

:doh.... thanks andy and BrandofFamily, and especially you BigWebGuy.... its working now and looks mighty nice for all the hassle that was un-necesary.:D

*note to self, Andy says "use the search bar" for a reason*

Looks good, Daniel. You've got at least one photo there that's not the same size as the rest, and when it hits the screen your footer jumps up. I have no idea how to fix that except that maybe you want to re-upload that photo with a black border to match the rest. You'd never notice the black, but it would then occupy the same space.
