How can I add a slideshow to the top of my gallery pages?
You can add a slideshow to the top of your gallery pages (like the one you see here) by using the SLIDESHOW() function in your gallery description.
Basic Functionality
To create a slideshow from a single gallery:
SLIDESHOW(gallery name)
To create a slideshow from a set of image ids:
SLIDESHOW(1,2,3,4,5)
Invalid image ids or images from an account other than your own will be skipped.
These 2 commands will get you a simple slideshow with all of the default settings.
Extra Options
You may add options within the parentheses in the form of option=value. Each option must be separated by a comma. Please ensure that the option is in lowercase.
- size
- set to small, medium, large, or original. Max original size is 800x800.
Default is 'medium'.
- delay
- set the time that an image is displayed in seconds. Minimum is 2 seconds.
Default is 5 seconds.
- link
- set to none or image. 'none' will disable the link to the current image's image page.
Default is 'image'.
- loop
- set to yes or no. 'no' will cause the slideshow to play only once.
Default is 'yes'.
- random
- set to yes or no. 'yes' will cause the slideshow to play in random order.
Default is 'no'.
Examples
A slideshow for your 'kittens' gallery might look like this:
SLIDESHOW(kittens, size=large, delay=3)
A slideshow for three given images might look like this:
SLIDESHOW(11111, 22222, 33333, size=original, delay=10, loop=no)
It does not matter in what order you specify options. All options are optional. If you specify more than one item outside of your options, we will attempt to lookup image_ids. We currently do not support the ability to list multiple galleries.

Copies of a Gallery
-
- When you copy a gallery or an image to another gallery, that gallery or image will now appear in both the original gallery and the gallery to which you copied it.
Don't worry, it's really the same photo displayed in two different places; you are not using twice as much disk space.
-
- For Images If the image lives in more than one gallery, only the image in the current gallery will be deleted. For Galleries If you copy a gallery to a different parent gallery, there is still only one gallery, just two paths to it. So, any changes you make will show up in both places. Let's say you have gallery C, which has two paths to reach it - one from gallery A and one from gallery B. You want to remove C from B: Edit gallery B. Select the checkbox by the listing for gallery C.... (more)
-
- It is more like there are two paths, or ways to view the image, so you are not using twice as much disk space.
-
- Because there is actually just one image with more than one path to get to it, when you make a change to the original, that change is also applied to the copy, and vice versa.
