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. |

Organizing the Gallery
-
- Images in your gallery are ordered by their sequence number. If you want one image to come before another, make its sequence number less than the other. Adjust all the sequence numbers you need, then hit the Update Titles and Sequence Numbers button.
By default, the image with the lowest sequence number will be the representative image of that gallery.
-
- One image from each gallery is shown in your main galleries page.
By default, the image with the lowest sequence number will be shown, but if you want to choose an image, click the represent link next to that image. Only one image per gallery will be the representative image.
-
- You can add titles to all the images in a gallery at once on the edit gallery page. This saves you from editing each individual image.
Just edit the gallery.
Fill in the titles by the image listings.
Click the "Update Titles and Sequence Numbers" button.
-
- You can update many images at one time using the "Batch Update..." tool on the edit gallery page for any gallery. Use this tool to update title, caption, artist, location, shot date, camera body, camera lens, film type, tech notes, keywords, and publicity of images. First, select the checkboxes by all images you want to update on the edit gallery page. Scroll down to the "Batch Update..." section. Set the appropriate values for any of the fields you are altering. Click the "Update Images" button.... (more)
-
- When editing your gallery, click on the sequencing tab.
Next to subgalleries, there are two options:
add new subgalleries to the beginning of the gallery OR add new subgalleries to the end of the gallery.
Click the appropriate box. Click the Update Placement Settings button.
-
- When editing a gallery, if you want the new images to be seen at the beginning of the gallery instead of the end, click on the "sequencing" tab.
Beside "Images" there are two options: you may either add new images to the beginning of the gallery, or add new images to the end of the gallery.
Click the circle next to "add new images to the beginning of the gallery".
Click the "Update Placement Settings" button.
-
- In order to link subgalleries, go to the Advanced Settings page in the gallery which you want to link from. Select the check box to use Linked Subgalleries Click Update For example: Say you have an Italy gallery. Within the Italy gallery, you have subgalleries for various Italian cities. It would be nice if people could jump directly from the Venice subgallery to the Bologna subgallery without having to go back through the main Italy gallery to get there. The solution is to use linked subgalleries.... (more)
-
- A gallery can be broken into multiple pages, which is useful if there are many images in one gallery.
Choose the number of images you want per page next to the "multi-page gallery" option, or leave blank to have all images on one page. This will insert Page Breaks at the appropriate locations when you choose to update the gallery.
